Don't know if you got an answer to this, but it looks to me like it's either a wand that can cast the various Bigby's Hand spells... Or a +2 Backscratcher. Not sure which...

W-arlocks and p0aladinZ0, obviously! :p

My daughter's playing a level 6 moon druid in an AL game and she's still having fun with it. Sure, it's not the heady days of level 2, but getting a sabre tooth tiger, or an allosaurus is fun times. Most importantly, its these levels that she reminds herself that she is still a full caster...

Sounds like the group was mistaken on knocking people out. I'd refer you to the rules in the PHB in Combat: Damage and Healing - Knocking a Creature Out. The long and the short of it is - there's no such thing as subdual damage; all attacks just continue to reduce hit points. If an attacker...

As another data point, this year's D&D Open (which last year was an early teaser to Chult and ToA) is called Gangs of Waterdeep. That, along with the No Stone Unturned reference paints a pretty good picture.

One quick fix I had considered for this chain of feats was to treat them has half feats and give Magic Adept, Improved Magic Adept, and Superior Magic Adept each a +1 to the related casting attribute. Since the casting attribute for Magic Initiate is often secondary to the class in question...

Mistwell has the right of it. The weakness to this build is no long rest means very few high level slots with the trade off of nearly unlimited 1st-5th level slots. A level 17 sorcerer will have one 9th level spell... He cast Wish: Simulacrum. Then he whiled away the centuries through the...

There's a slight nuance there (in the bold part). Although the details of the Death Curse aren't provided in it's entirety in the Season 7 Primer, they point to all the effects of the curse given in the Tomb of Annihilation Hardcover. One aspect of the curse that I think is missed a lot is...

In general, it doesn't bother me. However, as I said, every single character doesn't push to get max stat by level 8. The spellcasters often do, but the martial characters at my table often desire a feat before hitting cap, so won't hit the "peak of mortal accomplishment" until 12 or 16 (or...

I really like the 5e mechanics around ASIs. First, I don't have any issues about the realism of the scenario. In my mind, 20 is peak of mortal accomplishment. 20 Str is on par with the best weightlifters, 20 Int is on par with the Einsteins and Hawkings. These folks aren't of that level at...

So folks are feeling ripped off by a guide, written by the guild master of one of the most pernicious Thieves Guilds in the Sword Coast. I mean, he's a beholder... he doesn't even have hands! [emoji16] I'd much rather trust Volo and that's saying something. Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1...

Man, I always loved these little guys. If anything, the damage feels a little low. Although the four attacks would usually have advantage. As a solitary creature, you may want to consider legendary actions. A legendary bite could boost the damage some while making claw attacks. One thing to...

Thanks, I missed that part of the Primer. I don't mind making Wights and other undead scarier in ToA... just not that scary!

So, a question came up about the Death Curse for a DM planning session. Specifically, the death curse states: "A humanoid whose hit point maximum is reduced can't increase or restore it. This is true whether the creature's hit points maximum is reduced by the Soulmonger or by some other life...

A for effort, but this is ENWorld... Rapiers aren't meant for threshing here.[emoji16] Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1 using Tapatalk
