329 - New Mechanics in 2024 Dungeons and Dragons

Dungeon Master of None

Hey bud, listen up. Your D&D edition is going through some changes. Changes can be scary! But changes can also be good for us. The Ranger? No, not for the Ranger, but good for other better classes. Look, changes are how we grow. You can use Sleight of Hand to pick a lock now? Maybe! We don't actually know. In conclusion, Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, 2nd Edition (Revised 2024) is a land of contrasts. There is a lot here that's cool (like the new cantrips) but there's also a lot here that's confusing as hell. Regardless, DMs Rob and Matt are here to guide you through some of the new mechanics, numbers, and changes in the new Player's Handbook.

Shout out to the T.E. "RPGBOT" Kamstra for cataloguing the changes from the 2014 to the 2024 Player's Handbook: https://rpgbot.net/dnd-2024-5e-transition-guide-and-change-log-everything-thats-different-in-the-new-players-handbook/
