Wanting to start DnD /u/JE19913 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Hey Y’all, my friends and I from college want to start playing DnD; however, none of us have really ever played before (except for me playing extensive BG3). I was hoping yall could point me to what we need to start and since I think I’ll be the DM first what resources I should look at to help me start.

Using laptops as campaign tools /u/Jager0139 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Question for DMs and players: Do you use laptops or Chromebooks for campaign tools? I’m looking at forming or joining a local group in my area and was wondering if anyone has used tech for campaign tracking or any other use?

Evil meathead that hits things really hard /u/ExistingMouse5595 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

One of my players is planning on running a short adventure where we all get to be evil characters.

The premise is that the adventure will take place in a fantasy city inspired by Gotham, and that being evil will be the norm for the cities residents.

I love playing big meatheads whose answer to every problem is smashing things with a giant hammer.

I’m planning on doing a Zealot barbarian multi class with conquest Paladin. The premise is the character will worship Bane or the equivalent of him in this world, not sure if forgotten realms lore will be involved or if it’s all homebrew yet.

Right now we are planning on running this adventure at level 8, and I wanted to get some help with the multi class part of it based on the 2024 5th edition rules.

First off, what split should I be going for? Currently leaning toward 5 levels in zealot barb with 3 in conquest Paladin for extra attack and more spell slots for smites.

Is there merit in going 5 levels in Paladin 3 in barb?

What about 6 barb and 2 Paladin?

I think what makes this attractive mechanically is taking the zealots bonus damage and adding it on top of a smite for huge burst potential, but is there a better way to go about it?

I don’t need any spellcasting utility outside of the slots for smites.

Any suggestions on how to make a big evil guy hit things really hard would be appreciated!

Can you use 2024 DMG with 2014 Players Handbook? /u/Character-Ad3264 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

What buffs/debuffs should the full moon impart on lycanthropes in dnd that they currently do not? /u/wilfredojfigueroa DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I think lycanthropes should crit on a 19 or 20, get savage attacker feat, or durable feat for instance. Would make lycanthrope encounters that take place under a full moon more interesting/difficult.

What to do here /u/SpaghetP DnD: Roll for Initiative!

A few months ago, I joined a campaign online with 3 other players and the DM on a discord server in which they already knew eachother, the third guy wasn’t around for the first session as he just wasn’t around at that time, and the DM instead of rescheduling or something decided to just, do it anyways, at the time I thought this was odd but I didn’t think much of it, the first session went well, we all had fun.

When we did the second session the third guy was there and showed us his character. He was a lawyer(wizard) who casted spells by debating people, and he and people around a 20 something radius around him couldn’t see the spell and it just looked like the monsters he beat and stuff just walked away.

I thought it was cool until the session started, the first thing he did was walk up to someone in a library who was alone by himself and ask him “which weapon is the best weapon”, talk to him for a few seconds and then say “I cast acid blast” on an innocent commoner who had done nothing wrong (his character wasn’t aware of this and just thought the guy got tired of him or something) after he murdered this commoner for no reason at all he spent the entire rest of the session trying to make us not find the melted corpse, by staying in the library (the way his “people not being able to see his spells thing” worked was you had to pass a wisdom save everytime you entered the radius”) so when he had to leave the library and the corpse was now able to be seen, one of my party members entered the library and found the corpse, logically they called the village authorities and tried to find the murderer, the rest of the session was basically he trying for us not to be able to find out he was the murderer (again his character was NOT aware that he killed someone) so this was also meta-gaming.

While this was happening one of my party members just wanted to continue the campaign and do a quest one of the npcs had given us, so at one point after waiting for 20 minutes he just left the call and the murderhobo left so that this guy would come back.

After this we did the quest without the murderhobo and we actually had fun for a bit and ended the session there, we decided to let the murderhobo come back with a different character next session.

He pulls up with a min-maxed character that took 5 minute turns, did 60 damage per turn at level 3 and didn’t role play at all, we spoke to him again about his character being over powered and how we weren’t having fun and he responded by offering to help us min-max OUR characters, and that it “wasn’t his fault he was too good at dnd” after this me and the other player have basically just said we couldn’t come to sessions in order to play with this guy since we’ve tried to talk to him numerous times and he refuses to play a normal character but the DM doesn’t want to kick him out because they’re friends (which is understandable) I’m not sure what to do here or if I should just leave the campaign, which is a bummer because I had a lot of fun when this guy wasn’t around.
