Give them a couple custom classes or race builds that only DMs are allowed to use legally.

I'm having trouble trying to figure out how some of these would work? For example, the first one, Best Served Cold - You must find and defeat Windharrow. Why? Why does the character want to do this? Some of them make more sense, like being robbed by a certain character and wanting revenge...

Yep.

Not to hijack, but what about non-actual play podcasts? I tried searching for some the other day and failed, besides the official podcast.

Do you tell your players how many charges an item has left? Otherwise, why would they ever use their last charge and the item being destroyed in the process?

Has anyone used one of these yet? If so, do you have a template for a monster stat block? I don't really see one in the template or at least one that looks decent.

It probably won't that big of an issue going forward as shut doors and things like that will prevent the spider from going through but they're heading to Wave Echo Cave next and I was just thinking about what would happen in there. I like the idea of still rolling a perception check and if the...

So a spell caster casts find familiar and creates a spider. Last session, basically nothing was a surprise and he just crawled the spider in to the areas and reported back what he saw so the group was ready for anything. While this is cool every now and then, after awhile it will get old as...

Good points.. although your characters shouldn't know how far an Aboleth can cast enslave

Nice!

Sounds like to me the Aboleth has been in contact with a cursed magical item that has increased it's spell power significantly but in return reducing it's health and attack powers. Great time for me to introduce a cursed item into the game to see how they handle it. :D

Oh really.. what's the XP for an Aboleth? I'm at work and don't have the MM with me.

I'm planning on running a adventure from Dungeon magazine where an Aboleth that has been corrupted by the Spellplague is causing the citizens of Neverwinter to murder people. This was written for levels 3-5 and in my group there are 6 level 3 characters. In 5e an Aboleth is CR10 so way too...

I was looking to adjust some of the encounters as this Saturday I will have 4 level 3 players. In looking at the Old Owl Well and Wvyern Tor quests, if you actually calculate the CR of those, both would be way beyond deadly for even a group of 5. 1 ogre and 6 orcs in one encounter which...

It's not.. it would last for 10 rounds of combat - but still seems like a quick use of 20 days of work.

Roll a D20 and multiply by 100? Production could vary from month to month.

Plate armor and things like that, I can see taking a long time to make but you get a long time of use out of that as well. I guess my main issue is something like a poison that is so expensive (100g minimum for basic) and you only get to use it once and it's gone.

Yeah 10 rounds of combat I should have said.

One of my players wants to use poisons. In the rules it will cost him 50g and 20 days worth of crafting just to make 1 vial poison that will last 1 combat round. Seems high.

I think using the same rules as magic items for poisons make sense, but the DMG specifically states in the poison section that crafting these can be done according to the rules in the PHB. I wonder why?
