So I found a character generator that worked! I'm so excited. The link is http://gmh.xocomp.net/dd5charactergenerator/

OK, so someone gave me a great idea for a switch in the game playing! I have a party of 5 10th level characters. They are going to be transported to a new time and they are going to assume 5 new "bodies" from the past. But I need writeups including random new equipment. Is there anyone willing...

My players are 8th level now, and yeah there aren't alot of challenges for them. They will be meeting Strahd in the next few sessions, but other than tht, they are rolling through pretty much what is there

thanks for the response folks, I appreciate the input

Hey all, I am making a dark elven warlock whose background is guild merchant with the trader specialty. It says my guild has thieves cant. Do other thieves have the ability to read that or is it unique to each thieves guild?

I am running it now. I am using a planes-hopping motif for the overall campaign theme, where the party has to do some scavenger hunting to assemble the components to make a legendary artifact, and one item is in Ravenloft. I have in my cosmos that Jergal is the one responsible for the Mists and...

That's exactly what I did for the clerics, just swapped out comparable spells

I really appreciate all the responses. Helps alot

Hey thanks for the awesome tips!!! I do have encounters that aren't only combat. The story hook has alot of investigation, some negotiation, and skill checks that take into effect what the specific ability score influences (cha etc) As to the party makeup, yeah I allow the party to choose what...

It would be the 2nd of 2, the first was going to be an "easy" difficulty with the story hook of an escaping duergar to go warn the rest of the defense force, thus the 2nd encounter

Thanks for the response. TBH, I wasn't going to use the invisibility because of the potential to so swing the battle, but I was intending to use the "enlarge" ability. The real reason I am using them is the environment and the source of what they are looking to retrieve is a series of precious...

Thanks for your input. PMing I understand the whole "Best laid plans" thing. My question is in it's initial concept, was it too hard/unfair/too "killer DM" like. Thanks for the post I appreciate it. Iserith, Yep, I know of an "Encounter Calculator" online and I run the encounters through that...
