We all know everything about the Morninglord, but what about Curse of Strahd's mysterious Mother Night? Have you detailed this deity any further in your campaigns? One of the D&D people (Crawford maybe?) said the domain to describe her is Trickery... But that's very poor, I need more. The...

OMGs!!! Rereading the PHB I found out that to solve puzzles characters don't ever need to roll or even think about them! It says so in the very first page on the Basic Rules! I've been DMing it wrong all these years!!! :eek::eek::eek: EDIT: This is about discussing the real meaning of...

I'm running Curse of Strahd, and the players just finished Death House, and are about to help bury the late burgomaster of Barovia. I made a raven observe them as they came out of the death house, and also as they went in the tavern. It got their attention and the Druid said he wants to use...

So, the next thing to be published by WotC is the Deluxe DM screen, and that got me wondering how much use they get. Do you use a DM screen in your games?

I have just uploaded Warlock Spellsheet to the downloads area. Using the official WotC character sheet style I made this spell sheet, especially adapted to Warlocks, because they are so different from the other casters. It has more space than is needed for the lists of spells and invocations...

What are your thoughts on this Druid spell? In which situations has it come up in your games? It's very colourful but seems it's mostly useless... Like, weather forecast is cute but if you need to go adventuring you don't let the weather stop you, also, how often does weather come up in D&D...

I'm reading the PHB preparing to run HotDQ with a group that will probably be low on healing magic. I need help on healing options not dependent on Class. So, this is what we have: - on short or long rests a character can spend Hit Dice - potion of healing heals 2d4+2 hp - Healer feat allows a...

Hey guys, I need your help implementing a character. One player wants to play a blacksmith, with the ability to make magic weapons and armour, enchanting them with runes and stuff. It's an army blacksmith, that got tired of fighting and decided to retire and create a family and live in a small...

On this cleric spell's description it says "Make a melee attack with the hammer" Do you use your own strength to make this attack, as a regular melee attack? Or do you use Wisdom, as in previous D&D versions? Maybe I'm too stuck on previous versions, but controlling a magical spectral hammer...

I've been away from 4E for the last couple years. I've had no chance of playing, and with all the new options I just stopped following all the stuff I could create with it. But now I may be able to start a new group, and I want to do a Fey Warlock. Apparently there's the Fey Hexblade and the...

Hi! I'm planning a naval battle for the upcoming session and I need your help :) The ship where the PCs are travelling will be attacked by pirates and I'm not sure how to do this. It is better to have just one-on-one naval battle, right? It would be nice to have 2 more ships escorting the main...

Hi! I started a campaign where all PCs are either princes, or related to the royal family. They're all level 1. You know, young royalty who spend their days practicing calligraphy, floral arrangements, fencing and some magical practice. The first sessions will bespent entirely on the court...

Skill Challenges still... There's one thing I never understood: how do players act on a SC? Are there turns and each one does something each turn? Does he *have* to act every turn? Or does one of them just take initiative and say "I do this"? Maybe I didn't read the books right, but I've never...

So, some time ago I built a Genasi Barbarian who comes from a desert and manifests Firesoul and Earthsoul. In this campaign there's me, a Shadar-Kai Rogue, a Shifter Beastmaster Ranger and a Bard. Last session the Bard missed and we almost had a TPK. That's when I noticed we're all strikers...

I'm planning on creating a new setting based on the Seven Citadels series (some info). I read it some 15 years ago, and now I'm reading it again after finding the books at my parents' house. I'd like to hear some comments and suggestions on these points: The first thing I want to do is...

I keep reading and hearing that if want to use Heavy Blades you need Dex, to use Spears you need Wis, etc, etc... What's up with that? Is it because of a few feats? Can't one be fine without them? I'm asking because I built an intelligent and clumsy Genasi Barbarian. For roleplaying reasons...

What is your favourite warlock pact and why? I'm starting this poll because of this thread discussing how starlocks are weaker. The curious thing is that all posts i read from warlock players, play starlocks. And personally I also prefer Starlocks, because of the flavour (obviously not because...

Apaprently the Druid class (that so many of us love :)) will not be present as a core class in 4E. As far as we know, 4E will be everything about options, creating the character you really wish for. So, will it be possible to create a Druid from a Cleric of nature, choosing nature-related powers...
