Summary
In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, Tyler, Ash, and Randall dive deep into the world of epic boons in Dungeons & Dragons. The conversation quickly shifts to the main topic: epic boons, the powerful abilities available to 20th-level characters. The hosts explore the rules surrounding epic boons, offering examples from the 2014 Dungeon Master’s Guide, and share their thoughts on the usefulness of certain boons.
As they compare the 2014 and 2024 rules, the hosts express disappointment in the lack of new additions and the removal of certain boons like the Boon of Quick Casting and Boon of the Stormborn. They also speculate on the potential for future updates to reintroduce or tweak these boons. The discussion moves on to the new boons in the 2024 rules, including the Boon of Combat Prowess and Boon of Energy Resistance, where the hosts analyze their benefits and drawbacks.
In the final segment, they touch on the mechanics of invisibility and hiding, and discuss the impact of energy resistances in high-level play.
