Would you say that a dragon’s fire breath is classified as a magical attack or not?

One of my players raised the point about what monster attacks can be mitigated with the Protector spell or not.

Hi, I have always felt like DnD 5e is a weird game engine for the feel and atmosphere of the campaign setting Humblewood. So now with the release of Dragonbane I have started an initial attempt to convert Humblewood and the campaign Adventure in the Wood into using the Dragonbane game engine. In man...

I had an idea once to make a homebrewed school called "Thaumaturgy" (Sense it is a word that can be described as "the ability to make miracles") The idea being that it was a school which is said to have been taught to mortals by the gods, thus most who practice this school would...

would there be a way to bring in clerics without dragging in a whole pantheon of baggage?

I remember playing a staff mage as a kid back in the day, but already back then I remember thinking that some of the magic schools (and especially some of the spells) were quite poorly designed or just plain silly.

Thank you all for the replies!

My group actually think parry is perfectly fine, it’s rather a problem with players being afraid of damaging their weapons, even though they are easily repaired afterwards.

Actually a weapon breaking in a fight when defending a powerful blow has led to some epic battle scenes.
