It's on the warlock list (in the UA Starter Spells doc), so right now it's a playtest spell. I would expect it to either be removed from the warlock list, or errata'd to have a limit in the number of elixirs a caster can have summoned at one time, before it sees publication in an official...

Ismark is engaged to be married to the daughter of the Boyar of Graenseskov (border woods), who is a hagspawn that was switched at birth. The Boyar will expect Ismark to find and slay the Beast as part of his new responsibilities. The adventure assumes the party has met Ismark already and...

My group finished Death House last week. They took a couple hits from the shadows and a few more from the ghasts, so stopped and took a long rest before going down the stairs to the bottom level. They never went near the mimic door, correctly fearing it was a trap as it was the only door in...

High-int, high-wis character "games" the deity-granted powers system for their clerical abilities. I love the idea. And so meta.

The title of this thread shows one of the biggest misunderstandings of surprise in 5e. There is NO surprise round. There is no "you are surprising someone and get free actions" in 5e. There is only "you are surprised and cannot move or take actions on your first turn in the combat or use...

I'm just surprised it's taken this long. The MtG consumer base is huge compared to D&D's, you would think they'd have tried to cross-pollinate a lot sooner. Just finished reading through it, and it sounds like getting most of the setting fluff is going to require investing in the Art of MtG...

I'd just give them the words. I was actually thinking about making some of them LESS specific. A lot of the adventure is stumbling around the countryside figuring out where these cryptic clues are pointing. Once they actually reach the monastery, or Argynvostholt, or some of the other more...

Excellent, and just what I was looking for. Just having all of this info in one place probably saves a few hours of prep work, and makes pacing the flow of information easier if the players go off-script. I run my game with the pdf and any applicable maps on my laptop screen, but this will be...

Man, after reading more of the text, there are some some really nice ways I can tie this to my campaign beside the excellent hooks given. By coincidence, I have a PC whose campaign intro began with their throat torn out by some beast out in a misty forest in her home world, then waking up...

I'll be doing a complete review of this product after I run it. My full review will cover the mechanics and balance of the challenges in the adventure after I've had a chance to run it. My blog's campaign reports should also cover my group's experience with the story week-by-week which will...

You could write a conversion of: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/blessWeapon.htm but modeled after how magic weapon or shillelagh work. Or simpler, consider any spell which changes a weapon's attack or damage profile. Magic weapon, shillelagh, elemental weapon, would all be...

Excellent! I love following along with other DMs running the game. I love that your player "took one for the team" and became a valuable object lesson. That's the kind of player I love to have at my tables, and I would likely reward them in some small way next time they could play with me (if...

A warlock in one of my games has the devil's sight combo with darkness, and wanted to pick up HoH. After reading the spell as written (but before I saw the JC tweet), I was going to rule that as a Cthulhu-lock, he could see through it, but risk madness if he did so, as the things in the void...

Crawford > Mearls where rules questions are concerned. In my opinion, this one falls squarely in the "RAF" department as the smite-nova builds are already plenty powerful without getting re-rolls on the smite damage too. Seems inconsistent that crits double smite dice and sneak attack dice...
