    D&D 5E Does lightening bolt spell cause extra damage to sea creatures in water?

    The exact situation is that in my Dungeon of the Mad Mage game, my players come across a coven of sea hags in an underground cavern... ...and so we’re rolling initiative next weekend for battle. And they’re already discussing tactics which is cool...but one player wants to cast lightening bolt...

    D&D 5E Advice needed: is it ok to kill a player’s character if he is not there!

    yeah...i still cant believe i killed a PC while they wernt there...even in these circumstances, its a HUGE sin as a DM, and lesson learned

    So basically the rogue scouted ahead as usual... but prior to battle, the party (including the rogue) let some zombie (revenant) wanderaround...possibly hoping that the zombie would kill anything in his path for them. Well the zombie was moaning and groaning as undead tend to do and alerted...

    No...he didn’t return... I expect him to be back for next session I think he had legitimate family things come up...I don’t think he rage quit After battle, the players took a long rest at the yawning portal above and then explored more of the dungeon

    you guys are all making a lot of sense, and this player means a lot to me... but i guess im only human and of course im willing to fess up to a mistake that in hindsight, i would have and should have not killed him... ...but literally... This player had his turn... then said he had to go... and...

    the ettins knocked him out, but there were STARVING goblins who went after his body and killed him... ...even if that player was present, he wouldnt have got a turn to act before the goblins chomped at him...

    D&D 5E Advice needed: is it ok to kill a player’s character if he is not there!

    In my weekly Dungeon of the Mad Mage game (online via Discord/Owlbear Rodeo), everyone showed up, and we immediately proceeded to roll initiative against some starving goblins, bugbears and 2 ettins. then once like the first round of combat was over, one of my players had to go handle family...

    D&D 5E Do GRICKS have eyes?

    In my DotMM campaign, the party fought some super stealthy gricks, and this question came up by one of the players: "Do these gricks have eyes?" as a semi-good DM, i responded with "i dont know."...which i dont....the picture doesnt seem to have eyes, yet they do have darkvision, but not any...

    D&D General What do you think of mega-dungeons for online D&D play?

    Yes! I ran Tomb of Annihilation before the pandemic in person, and the story was great for the most part the entire game...however, less so when they entered the actual Tomb of the Nine Gods when it felt like a slog and less interesting for my players to dungeon crawl in person... However, i'm...

    D&D General How strict are you with vision in your game?

    D&D General How strict are you with vision in your game?

    Im running the Dungeon of the Mad Mage slog, and on Owlbear Rodeo (which is a fantastic VTT by the way!), i accidently uncovered more of a non-lit corridor well mainly because i honestly wasnt paying attention to vision. I did tell my players when they delved into the dungeon that it was unlit...
