I've been running skill challenges like 4e however now that attributes are skills too I'm finding the skill challenges are really boring and even disallowing back to back skill uses are not helping I'm. Not sure what to do

The fighter, the mage, the warlock, the cleric and the ranger are constantly trying to steal from people, kill NPCs and decieve one another. Not only does tis steal the rogue's thunder but also is problematic because I essentially can't get a story rolling because of these shenanigans. Some of...

I know I saw some posts around here with links to such conversions but google isnt helping :/

What are some of your favorite backgrounds?

I was always under the impression that darksun essentially is what happened after some magical apocalypse in the forgotten realms... Also side note, I was told that planescape was not allowed to travel to the world of darksun does anyone know why? Lastly I hope there's 5e planescape books...

How cool would that be, also bear in mind the only thing I know about either of these settings is from either the 4e darksun book or the 3.0 forgotten realms handbook. Also if anything extremely important happened between then can you fill me in?

what build would give me a the most natural attacks?

do i apply the +2 twice? I am rolling two dice, but I assume that it only applies once.

we dont have a campaign setting, so I guess homebrew? Its literally me flying by the seat of my pants.

Not the wow books mind you, I'm a huge fan of Warcraft 3 so I picked up this book I am paging through it and it seems hella unbalanced, some like the prestige class blade master seem really good and others seem like gimped versions of other classes or prestige classes. I've been known to be...
