I'm looking for an urban fantasy game, and open to any system. I've played Heroes, and dabbled in Fate & CoC. Open to horror or steampunk as well, & 'nearish' future (Shadowrun looks interesting). Not really looking for a pure fantasy game currently, thanks (already in a regular 5e group). I...

"Once Upon a Time" seems to be going for a sort of beast master/controller interpretation of Cruella De Vil, which I find interesting. Since my AL (Adventurer's League) group is suggesting that players start new characters for the new AL season, I was looking for ways to model this in 5e. So...

Because there is no teleportation in my homebrew world, I need a substitute ability for the Way of Shadow monk at 6th level. For Eldritch Knight's Arcane Charge (also a teleport effect) I just did a bonus 30' straight-line movement instead - but that seems pointless when monks can dash as a...

I'm working on an assassin, or possibly assassin/ninja build, & would appreciate some char op feedback: - Archery or Two Weapon Fighting build? Archery would make it easier to get the drop in a surprise round, I think (aim & shoot vs. worrying about being able to get to a foe in...

I get that there's a difference in spell levels (2nd vs. 6th) - but it still seems odd to me that Suggestion requires Concentration, while Mass Suggestion does not (starts at 24h duration & scales up at higher levels). By any chance has there been a mention that this is an error? It just seems...

TL;DR: Need a good acronym for HARP (something Agents of SHIELDsy). My regular group is finally getting ready to reboot to 5e, & the DM has decided he wants something stronger tying us together than 'hail fellow tavern customer, you look trustworthy!' To that end, we're all going to be members...

Medium Armor Mastery - free up the need to raise Dex beyond 14, & shield for an extra +2 on AC. Resilient (Con) - So hps. Much save. Spell Sniper - All your cover are belong to... well, no one, actually, since I disregard it. Ha! On the defensive side, I'm starting to think MAM & Res(Con)...

What would make a good base for a reindeer reskin? IMPORTANT: This is going to have to be a reskin & not a 'custom creation', because I'm making the character for Adventurer's League play - no house rules allowed, & it will 'revert' to whatever the base animal is when at a table where the DM...

The Polymorph spell changes mental stats as well, although alignment & personality remain the same. My question is, how can a caster safely polymorph themself given the change to mental stats? Realistically, if you become a mouse, with the mental stats of a mouse, you aren't really going to...

TL;DR: Need narrative (not rules-based) ideas for specific luck-based manifestations of magical talent in a low-point campaign. Does not have to be based on luck dice pool; could be anything with 'luck' as the fluff. I'm about to be starting a new campaign w/ my old Heroes group. The guy...

[To avoid confusion w/ the long-standing abbreviation for Armor Class, I've used ACo for Animal Companion, unlike in the Ranger thread where AC is used for that as well.] I'm working up a Beastmaster Ranger - I want to see how they actually play vs. the weak appearance they have compared to the...

1) Twinned Spell. It says you can target a 2nd creature when casting a spell that targets only one creature. Would something like Magic Missile qualify, provided you had used all of the 1st spell's missiles on the same target? If so, would you then have to put all of the twinned one's on the 2nd...

I get that it offers a good combo of skills for a character likely to have a high Cha & Dex score. However, I'm left wondering - how did a charlatan end up pledged to some mystical patron? I mean, flavor-wise, Sage seems a natural fit (pouring through old musty tomes, find one filled with...

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Best Vow of Enmity ever, & perfect example of a Dex-based Paladin of Vengeance. The build so far Tiefling Paladin (Oath of Vengeance) Str: 10 Dex: 15 Con: 14 Int: 10 (9 point buy, +1 racial adjustment) Wis: 12 Cha: 16 (14...

What we know so far: Circle of the Moon druid can wildshape into higher CR creatures. Max CR is 1 at level 2, and becomes level/3 at level 6. At level 10 they can change into an elemental (presumably with the same CR limits). To me, the CR limit seems pretty limiting (SWIDT?) for anything...

Hopefully without getting into a debate on the distinctions between the two.... [EDIT: The words 'alatrism' - refusing to worship a god, and 'maltheism' - questioning whether a being is worthy of worship regardless of its divine status have been introduced later in the thread. These are clearly...

[Edit: False alarm! This is not the thread you were looking for! I was simply viewing a preview image that had cut off the warlock's class icon. All is good!] A funny thing I've noticed on the previews we've seen so far - they seem to have class icons. - Bard preview, 1st page, notice the...

I'm anticipating (hoping for!) a campaign reboot once 5e launches, & am enamored of the 5e warlock. OMGSOGOOD! I'm currently looking at filling a primarily battlefield control role. Here're my thoughts (& many questions) so far: Flavor/Basic Character Concept The character was a student at an...

CRUCIAL point #1: My sole familiarity with the franchise is the movie (which I'm told was awful by someone who adored the comics), the previews for the series, & what I've found on wikipedia. CRUCIAL point #2: I've already looked at d20 modern, & just feel that it takes too long to get to the...

I'm about to dip my toe into the DMing waters - 3rd time's the charm? I'm hoping to find an adventure module or AP (3.5 or Pathfinder) which can easily be refluffed (& to some extent recrunched) to fit the details of the game world I have planned. The main essentials [w/ thoughts on desired...
