6 D&D Magic Items & Spells That Are Really Just Helping You Break The Rules
30.03.2024 - 20:59 / screenrant.com
The heroic fantasy adventures of rely on many rules and subsystems, but the game is also full of magical items, spells, and class features that let players ignore some of those rules entirely. Some rules that are a major concern in low-level games are easily trivialized at higher levels, effectively removing them from play. Ranged attacks normally have a Disadvantage if the attacker is engaged in melee, but the Crossbow Expert feat removes this penalty entirely. In the same way, this combat rule has an exception: magic can remove worries about encumbrance, tracking rations, and much more.
Every group is different, but the fact that so many players are eager to circumvent some of the rules that make travel and survival arduous suggests most DMs would be better off simply starting high-level games. This allows access to magic items, as outlined in the rules for starting higher-level campaigns and superior spells. Low-level games often get bogged down with simple geographic obstacles, mundane traveling struggles, or the minutiae of transporting treasure out of a dungeon. These may lend the game a gritty vibe, but it will quickly become repetitive.
Some DMs, especially those who cling to an “old school” mentality, may think that a game involving survival challenges, like scaling a cliff or foraging for food in a hostile environment, has appeal. Tracking encumbrance and dealing with an inability to carry treasure along with needed equipment may also feel like an iconic part of the game, but these are simple logistics puzzles and add little to the heroic fantasy adventure vibe of modern. More adroit DMs will want to provide access to the spells and items that eliminate tediouselements as soon as possible in their campaigns.
Encumbrance is easily one of the definitive traits of low-level games that most players find banal and uninteresting.
Encumbrance is easily one of the definitive traits of low-level games that most players find banal and uninteresting. Inventory management is not exciting, nor does it contribute to the Dungeon Master’s efforts at storytelling and world-building. Once the party has access to the Bag of Holding, an Uncommon tier magic item, they can largely ignore carrying capacity save for extreme circumstances. Every party member should acquire their own Bag of Holding as soon as possible, and experienced DMs should begin making these low-rarity items available early in the game. A Bag of Holding has a few downsides.
The item does not require attunement and can contain up to 500 pounds of gear in a 64 cubic-foot extradimensional storage space. There are still some limitations, as a Bag of Holding cannot contain additional extradimensional containers, and it cannot safely smuggle living

Discoverer’s Delight Experience Increase and Nightmare Incursion Adjustments Are Now Live
After noting that players heavily preferred to level in Nightmare Incursions, instead of exploring Azeroth or running dungeons, an attempt to promote these other methods has been made. The experience from Incursions has been significantly nerfed — from roughly 7000 experience per quest all the way down to 3000 according to a recent Reddit post. Despite the hopes that buffing Discoverer's Delight from 50% to a new 75% would make the two methods roughly on par, this change does seem to have hit Incursions particularly hard, potentially dethroning them as the fastest leveling option.
