I am building a fighter (first one in 5e) and while I've played/run a lot of games, I've never played a straight fighter. We have a couple house rules in play that tone back GWM and SS. Instead of -5/+10, they instead add a straight +3 damage per attack. With that said, I'm considering a...

So reading through the Soulknife I noticed, the can use this, anytime they fail an ability check. If they succeed they spend the point, if they fail they don't. As a DM, how will you handle this? Some examples: "I search for a secret door" "You don't find anything, but... you know you failed...

If a character grapples someone with the on hand and fails, can they bonus action to grapple off handed? I am assuming so based on the wording of the off hand attack. If so, do they suffer a loss of stat bonus when using the off hand? I know they do normally for damage, but is there any penalty...

Based on the concept of Legendary actions, should it most likely be based on the number of PC's in the fight vs just a fixed number such as 3? For example, a creature with legendary actions against 2 PC's would get 1 legendary in theory... but against 10 PC's would get 3. Should this scale...

I have a few months before I am starting a semi-customized campaign of Out of the Abyss. I am looking to expand the game out to level 20+ (Epic Boons, etc). For anyone that has completed running it... what are some ideas for how you would further expand the story line? What ideas do you have for...

I am looking at a few of the feats that I see that stand out as exceptionally weak, or exceptionally strong and trying to pair them back to a more balanced baseline. I would very much like to get some feedback / ideas on these if there are other options you can think of or others I might be...

The_Bear from another forum has been writing our game journal in novel format. So far I have compiled almost one game session worth and it is about 30 pages in length. Rather than post the entire thing here, I am going to link to the file that contains it :) Would love to hear some feedback...

Just wanted to let people know that I have revamped my old website and turned it into a full fledged news site. If you are looking for forums with a little less traffic, or a site with a slightly different focus on news come on over. It is currently focused on d20/3e as well as Mutants and...

While I haven't updated it in a while, it does seem to get a fair amount of use daily. One of several requests I have gotten was to include hit point averages so I am now caculating these into the stat blocks for creatures. The next big thing I am working on is adding Creature Collection 2, I...

I have seen now a couple of pdf publishers that basically patch their releases at later dates... anyone have any idea how this is done? I have created a fairly forms intensive PDF character sheet with a ton of auto-calculations in it... but now that I have done a lot of fixes and updates to...

I am currently working on a monster database with a web front end... I have gotten to the point where I am mostly finished with my 1.0 design... The final stage I am at is generating an estimated EL for an unlimited number of monsters. I am currently thinking something along these lines. (no...
