Everybody loves opening the chest and seeing that big pile of coins, gemstones, etc. But in a lot of medieval settings, that wasn't how business transactions were done, which means that wasn't necessarily what the BigBad got when he looted the poor hapless victims. When was the last time your...

Here's something I came up with to add a bit of 'color' to my campaign world. Not only does it give me ways to legitimately part the characters from their gold, but it also gives me more ways to give the PCs information, adventure hooks, etc. What do you do, to make your campaign world less...

The DMG lists several effects of aging, such as decreases in CON, STR and DEX, as well as increases in INT and WIS. If a character ages to the point that these effects kick in, then gets some sort of youth-restoring effect, what happens to the changes in stats? Do the physical ones revert to...
