Alex here, back again with another edition of Ritual Report! Again, there are plenty of stat boosting spells that I’ve skipped, but you don’t really need me to tell you why it might be useful to have +10 to a strength check or breathe underwater, so I’ll leave you to figure those spells out on [...]

Magic is a staple of D & D with a long, grand tradition behind it. Wizards, clerics, druids and all of their offshoots have always been able to summon incredible, world altering powers in order to triumph over whatever trials and tribulations have been placed in front of them. 3rd edition spellcasters were especially potent, [...]

2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons was an entirely different beast. You just picked a class, a race (maybe not even that), and a name. After that, you just sat and played. And died. And died. And died and died and DIED! It was great.

“That’s like saying you don’t enjoy icecream because you tried to eat it using your bare hands.”
What could I possibly be talking about!?

I’ve compiled a bunch of mini-reviews together for each article detailed in this issue of Dragon magazine.

Abyssal Genasi
The equivalent to deformed in the Genasi community, their abyssal counterparts are shunned for their bizarre manifestations. Genasi are closely connected to the elemental planes of existance and in the cosmology of their world, [...]

The Vistani are the D&D equivalent of gypsies. Not really a race but a cultural heritage. It feels more like a race because of the potency of their encounter power (Evil Eye of the Vistani) and the feats that augment it. The Vistani Heritage feats are like getting access to a second set of really [...]

This is one of the most beloved D&D classes, because no matter how stingy your DM was when it came to giving away treasure, your Monk was set. They didn’t need to deal with the complexities of equipment and got a lot of cool abilities that helped keep combat fresh without getting as complicated as [...]

This is just a compilation of house rules I found on a thread called “What are your house rules?” where people listed short and sweet summaries of what kind of stuff they do in their D&D campaigns. Here, I’m going to break down why I think some are pretty nifty, to pretty mediocre, to pretty stupid.

The Ranger is one of my favorite classes. In 3rd Edition is was far too easy to crank their damage up to 11 by picking a few select feats and making sure to have a nice attack bonus. What made them really wonderful was part of what made the Paladin wonderful. They were a class that could physically attack their target but had more options because of their access to spells. A lot of people love these guys because of some classic characters in literature that were Rangers, guys like Aragorn or Drizzt.
