Many of the spells that I use are ones that are used regularly. However, there is a certain class of spells that I will reference, even during combat, the PHB due to their difficulty. This is the different Illusion spells. They are so difficult at times to understand that I have to constantly...

I was wondering when we can start using this background? Do we have to wait until the ALPG for Season 4 is release or until Curse of Strahd is released?

Well folks, I have an odd question. I have been looking through the dwarven deities for Forgotten Realms and I can't seem to find any deity related to agriculture. I know that Chauntea for the Human Pantheon is the Goddess of Agriculture, but is there a deity for the dwarves that would relate in...

Not only does it do Fire damage, but it also uses the "Casting a Spell" action instead of using the "Attack" action. This means that it bypasses non-magical weapon resistance, along with not allowing an Extra Attack when you reach that level.

Greetings folks, Is there a list anywhere or has anyone put out anything on the lifestyles associated with the different backgrounds in the SCAG? I am planning on making a Cloistered Scholar, but not finding anything (unless my Google Fu is just failing me). Thank you for any help.

The main thing is, there are different ideals of pacifism. The one I am dealing with is based on an interpretation of Ahimsa from Indian philosophy that allows for violence when used in self-defense. As such, I would be able to attack anyone who attacked me, but would be unable to attack...

Greetings again friends, I had another question now. I am looking at a class that would work well for a pacifist character. I figured out a way to do so within the bounds of the game (and with a code of conduct befitting to a pacifist). However, I was wondering which class you thought would be...

While the idea of a pacifist Cleric of Eldath seems fun, I have tried it before and had some difficulty with it in AL play. However, a Half-Orc Druid of Eldath with Ondonti origins might work better. While not taking damaging spells would limit things, the buffs and battlefield control that they...

Good morning to all (since it is where I am at when posting this), I was looking at doing some different stuff, but through playing a class I know and love, the Cleric. I mainly play Adventurers League and, as such, play mainly in the Forgotten Realms. As such, I ask that the answers be...

I have a slight question on making a custom background. I know you start with one of the background and alter from there. My question is, does this customization include background in places such as the State of Mulmaster or State of Hillsfar documents, where there are more bonds and backgrounds...

I have a question for everyone. I know that you can't use both the EEPC and the SCAG together. However, I was wondering if you were able to take a race, like say Earth Genasi, from the EEPC and use the deities lists from the SCAG for making a cleric? I am looking mainly at say making the...

Thank you for the information Tyranthraxus. Based on using that background, the new Far Traveler background would work well, since being an exiled individual is part of the "Why are you here?" section. I also think it works well for being Vengeance, as I am attempting to gain vengeance also on...

Greetings all, I am creating a character for my upcoming Thursday game, and I am stuck on figuring out a good background for him. The basis for the character is a Duergar Paladin that has been exiled from his home due to worshipping a deity that the council in charge of his city deems to be...

I also have to point out, that unless it has changed, one of the strongest followers and wizards for Mystra started his life as a Clerical follower of her. As such, even the great Elminster has some clerical ability.

Greetings again all, I have a question in relation to the Dogma for Eldath. I am not able to link, so I am quoting the dogma here for people. "The philosophy of Eldath is highly advanced. It teaches that peace can only come from within and cannot he taught or imposed; it must he readied...
