I recently decided to start playing Skyrim again and often, when you're speaking with NPCs, you're strapped with dialogue options that you dislike. Example: NPCs wife is missing. You go look for her only to find our she's now a bandit leader. You talk to her and she gives you her wedding...

I'm playing a Cleric in descent into Avernus and we are currently 12th. (side)Question 1: This occured to me as I was buying spell components and didn't notice until my last game: Protection from Evil/Dispel evil uses silver & iron filings or Holy Water but does not have a GP cost, so I...

I'm playing a cleric in Descent into Avernus and we are, currently, 12th level. There are a plethora of useful spells on the cleric list but many of them require materials like, "diamonds worth 1000gp", "rare incense worth 400gp" etc... I'm not sure if other people have played this campaign...

I'm more focusing on the word 'prevalent'. Let's say, in a jungle area, there is a village of halflings. If you focus the spell around the village, the 'prevalent people' would be halfling? If the Druid Leader of the tribe needs to locate a lost halfling child who has wandered out into the...

If you are submerged, Water Walk brings you to the surface of a body of water at the rate of 60 feet/round. What does it do if you are in the Elemental Plane of Water, where there is no surface and everything is water?

I came across this and it looks pretty cool: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/riggeddicegames/makedungeons From what I can see is the AI can run monsters or take on a portion of the work to help a GM in running the game or can completely run a module so you don’t need to have a GM. The...

In another thread, I brought up the 'White Wizard' archetype and I kind of lamented how 5e wizards don't really cover this. To me, a White Wizard would have access to minor healing and curing diseases etc... This is the purview of the cleric, druid and bard. Then I wondered about mixing class...

A couple Inspiration mechanics. I see it used differently at different tables: in one game we don't use it at all, in another the DM gives it out like candy and, in a 3rd, we get it so unreliably that players tend to just horde it and/or forget about it. 1. I thought, to make it a bit more...

As a finale of a campaign, one of the players is being transformed into a demon and will take on the party. It's supposed to be a fun 'what if'/alternate finish one-shot adventure but I need help balancing things. The player is a minotaur barbarian with Polearm Master, Sentinel and Great...

We had an issue with The whirlpool part of Control Water: Whirlpool. This effect requires a body of water at least 50 feet square and 25 feet deep. You cause a whirlpool to form in the center of the area. The whirlpool forms a vortex that is 5 feet wide at the base, up to 50 feet wide at the...

Hi! My DM is running Beyond the Witchlight. Normally he homebrews stuff and hasn't run many modules. Are there any tips/trick/links/troubleshooting that any DMs who've run it can share? I've done a google search but I'm playing and can't read anything so I have no idea if they're good. I'm...

I'm curious about a few things: Question 1: An spell cast out of an item is an ACTION but is it counted as a spell, or an item activation action? For example, Item Activation: If I have a staff of the magi, can I use Firewall, using charges out of the staff and then cast Misty Step using my...

This almost never comes up, but how do you target a spell effect with dispel? Some are easy: A light spell on a rock has a specific point of origin. Haste is that dude running super-fast etc... Some are trickier: Stinking cloud has a 30 foot radius. Can I target any part of the radius or...

So, I'm on the side that simulacrum creates a construct that takes the stats of a creature. It's a spell. It's an illusion that looks like a creature. I'm in this debate that 'Creature Stats' Also includes 'Creature type'. What this means is: Simulacrum of a human can be: charmed...

I'm playing a 13th level Divination Wizard and we just finished a major plot arc and have 5 years to 'do stuff'. So, on top of tricking out my Wizard Tower, Scribing every scroll I've ever made, Finding a NEW AND IMPROVED body to possess with Magic Jar, I need to help the party track down a...

In a couple of games I've been playing, we have been using arcane lock as an offensive tool: Rush in to a room(usually from a window or door way - hopefully getting surprise) Cast arcane lock on a door (it could be the way we come in or it could be the door leading further into a place with...

So.... 1. You must be FAMILIAR with the recipient. What does that mean? If I managed to get within 30 feet of someone and spoke to them, am I familiar with them? What if they were disguised? What if I scried them first? 2. The creature recognizes you as the sender (makes sense since you...

So, unlike the previous edition I've played, Plane Shift lets you target an unwilling person and put them permanently into a different plane. Essentially, it's a suped up Banishment spell that requires no concentration. And you get to choose the destination! Goodbye villain, go to the...

I ran into an interesting situation in a game. My character is using Magic Jar to possess a magic user whose soul was destroyed but whose body still lives. We found the Hand and the Eye of Vecna and Sword of Kass. What happens if you use a different body to use the Hand and Eye of Vecna and...

I was playing in a game where we ran into a practically-immortal wizard who'd accidently trapped himself inside his own pocket dimension. He asked for help to escape. That got me thinking. I'm imagining some kind of catastrophe that happens. hundreds of thousands or millions will die. Then...
