The 2024 rules give your turn twelve named actions. Seven are old friends: Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide and Ready. Five are new or renamed: Influence, Study, Search, Utilize and Magic. They cover the things players did all along (talk someone round, remember a fact, look for a trap, pull a lever, cast a spell), and now each one…
The Ruins of Castle Greyhawk comes to D&D Beyond in November 2026: four adventures for levels 5 to 10 from Baldman Games, built on the 2024 rules, "featuring the iconic three towers and the dungeons beneath them" [1]. It is the fifth published go at a dungeon Gary Gygax started under his own house rules in 1972, and the owlbear's…
Greetings, adventurers! As you may have noticed, there has been a lot changing around here. New themes. New features. 3D dice that tumble right across the page. To name a few. None of it would have been possible without your support. So before anything else, I want to say thank you. To our Founders Some of you backed True Randomness…
In 2014, Inspiration gave you Advantage. You had to say so before you rolled, and if the die came up 19 anyway, you had spent it for nothing. So players sat on it, waiting for a moment that deserved it. The 2024 rules rename it Heroic Inspiration and turn it into a reroll. You roll, you look at the die,…
Legends of Greyhawk: Heralds of the Old One comes to D&D Beyond in October 2026: three adventures for levels 5 to 10 from Baldman Games, set in the Land of Iuz and the Horned Society.

A cloaked figure stands alone on still water under a full moon. Nobody is fighting yet. Everything is about to happen. Every table knows the scene that follows. The dragon lands, the party stands its ground, and one player picks up the d20 while everyone else stops breathing. We showed that picture, a green dragon over a party of four,…
In the 2014 rules, exhaustion was a ladder of six different punishments. Level 1 gave you Disadvantage on ability checks. Level 4 halved your Hit Point maximum. Level 5 set your Speed to 0. Nobody remembered which rung did what, so most tables looked it up every time, or quietly never used it. The 2024 rules replace the ladder with…
In the 2014 rules a greatsword and a maul were the same weapon with different paint: 2d6 damage, Heavy, Two-Handed. In the 2024 rules they play differently. The greatsword Grazes: it hurts even when it misses. The maul Topples: it knocks the target flat. That difference is weapon mastery, the biggest change the 2024 Player's Handbook made to martial characters,…
