Personally, I would like to see WotC publish more high level material beyond Mad Mage. I prefer to use the published modules and then modify them to meet my needs. I have run PotA and SKT, each of those went to level 11. Another person took over and DMed Tomb of Annihilation for our group...

As others have mentioned, plus more: Barbarian: one that changes into a bear/lycanthrope type thing when raging. Fighter: some kind of weapon master Rogue: dagger master

It says heavy crossbows. If I’m picking a subclass called “Artillerist”, I’d think it would be about damage. Also the wand ability gives you +damage that still isn’t more useful than a light crossbow and limits you to a single roll.

I've been really looking forward to the artificer and would like to play one. I'm generally happy with this new version. I have no interest personally in playing the Alchemist or Archivist. Initially, I was interested in playing the Artillerist but now the Battle Smith looks too good compared...

I am currently playing an Aarakocra monk in a ToA campaign. The DM and I agreed that I could only carry party members who are Small. Likewise, I can only attempt to grapple/drop Small enemies. It just makes sense. I am a long time DM and know when to “limit” my character’s flight so as not to...

Hello all, As an (always) DM, I am finally getting the chance to play in a ToA campaign. I am a huge fan of aarakocra and am very excited to be able to play one. However, I keep going back and forth about the character build and I would appreciate opinions and advice. Mechanics and damage are...

I am actually running that part right now and I have a barbarian player. So I've changed most of the encounters but kept the sites the same. I just didn't want the players to be fighting people who were just like one of the party members. Plus it allowed me to use some more interesting creatures...

I ran a PotA campaign with some changeup of players. It ended with characters being lvl 11. I can remember the following feats being taken along the way: Variant human barb: great weapon master Variant human rogue: sharpshooter and crossbow expert Variant human eldritch knight: warcaster and...

I think it's actually going to be a new flavor of Aarakocra. Apparently some live on Chult in the Miscliffs. I hope they are included as a player option, especially since they have never made it into a print source. I found this preview pic:

I'm trying to figure out what the flying creature with the spear is in the picture for the new board game. It looks kind of like an aarakocra but not exactly. Any ideas?

My princes campaign came to an end last week. The party had one final portal to close. This was the earth portal. Before reaching it, the party had to face three bulettes along with burrow sharks and stonemelders. The encounter was really tough and took down one or two pcs before the life cleric...

So I have a player who is interested in the hexblade. But, if he uses cursebringer then does it make sense to lose the Cha bonus to attacks and damage? Also the shadow hound ability makes no sense to me. And it seems the smite is too powerful. I am looking for suggestions for ways to modify it...

Princes of the Apocalypse party: Male dragonborn paladin (vengeance) Male moon elf wizard (bladesinger) Male aarakocra ranger (revised hunter) Male firbolg cleric (life) Male human shadow sorcerer/warlock Storm King's Thunder party: Male hill dwarf cleric (protection) Male warforged fighter...

The party was level 9, and they managed to skip most of the encounters. The first prophet they took out was Gar so the water cult has been without leadership for a while. Originally the party made a bargain with the hag Thaluna Maah and then broke the deal so she was after them with the dragon...
