Actually, how often one can use the feat is very relevant. A feat that I can use every fight is worth more (twice?) one that I can use every other fight. A feat that I can only use against half of my enemies is less (half as?) useful as one I can use against all enemies. Damage Per Attack is...

Thanks for the thread and all the comments and arithmetic. I did a lot of this for Power Attack in 3.x. After reading everything I am inclined to allow both feats, but I might disallow Sharpshooter. Anyway, thanks for all the comments.

Wow, thank you all for the great suggestions!

I have been struggling with this as an inexperienced DM. I think I need to work on making my dungeons more dynamic - sleeping foes get attacked. I have not seen much of a solution for outdoor random encounters. My PCs just go nova and nuke the poor NPCs. It seems like such a waste of time...

In Eberron, many clerics worship the whole pantheon of the Sovereign Host. They pick a domain that is open to any of the gods in the pantheon. I would look to do something similar with this. But if you like complicated - go for it!

There must have been great rejoicing at the table that night! :-)

5 minutes AD? What is that?

Definitely Nymphs. I spent 10 minutes looking for it in MM1 and was shocked it wasn't there...

I wonder if it is the items/levelling that influences players more than the rules. Every time they level up they get more combat abilities, and there are so many neat magic items that it pushes people to try and acquire them. Whatever the reason, there has to be something about DnD that does...

I have never seen it used in our 5e games. I don't think it was used in our 3.x game either.

I think that's fine as long as the party moron gets 150%. :-)

Thanks everyone for all your replies. I'm mostly thinking about the spell in terms of power against the PCs. Thanks for this suggestion. I'm going to go with this. Or follow Majoru Oakheart's suggestion to have a "gentlemen's agreement" to only cast it on weapons. FWIW, when I pitched the...

This came up in our last game session. My game is set in the jungles of Q'Barra, so the PCs can expect to bump into Lizardman Shamans with Heat Metal somewhat frequently. The last battle, Heat Metal was cast on a PC and I realized just how powerful it is. I generally want to play the RAW, but...

Thank you both for your suggestions. I am already mining the RHoD for ideas. Any thoughts/tips for handling conspiracies?

Can you give me some suggestions for how to plan out my Q'Barra campaign? I am an experienced gamer, but relatively inexperienced behind the DM screen. I have started a couple of short campaigns in 3.5, 4e and Savage Worlds, but they never lasted much beyond the third or fourth sessions. Now I...
