    Thoughts - elf fighter/rogue w tunnel fighter, blade mastery, elven accuracy

    I didn't find anything on the search so not sure if this particular combo has been discussed before. Thought I'd chuck it on here to see what you think. Assuming the DM allows multiclassing, UA feats and UA fighting styles, I was thinking about the character build that exploits... er, makes...

    D&D 5E How do you restrain a captured spellcaster?

    I've never really had a situation in a game where the party spellcasters have been taken prisoner but one might be coming up in the next game. I assume in a world where spellcasters exist, the city guard must've put some thought into how to practically restrain captured spellcasters (aside from...

    D&D 5E How would you handle raising dead on a PC that didn't believe in the gods?

    In the last session of our Faerun campaign, one of the tanks died fighting a death knight. They don't have a cleric in the party but they reasoned they were close to a capital city so they'd go find a temple and get him raised in the next session. In the interim I noticed he didn't have a faith...

    D&D 5E What's so great about Elminster?

    Everyone in the realms has heard of Elminster and his legendary adventures but what I'm wondering is: what are those legendary adventures? What would the common man on the street know about Elminster? (I haven't read any of those books by the way so I don't know what those adventures were).

    D&D 5E Caster feats

    I'm building an abjurer wiz for our new party and I was going to make him variant human for the feat headstart but there doesn't seem like there's any must-haves for casters. War Caster and Spell Sniper are the only ones that seem any good, and they don't jump out at me in the same way that...

    D&D 5E Atheism in DnD

    I'm working on a pantheon for my new campaign and one of my players asked if a deity is mandatory and could he be atheist. He's Christian IRL so it's an interesting response. Do you think its possible to be an professed atheist in a setting where there are clerics running around? You don't...

    D&D 5E Does the new ammunition rule screw up dual hand crossbow?

    Just perusing the errata, weapons with the "ammunition" property now require a free hand to reload (which makes sense). Does that render the "crossbow expertise" feats bonus attack null and void since (apart from the first round) you won't be able to load the second hand crossbow without...

    D&D 5E How do I build a max dpr rogue?

    I'm not a mega-expert on rogues in 5e and I don't usually play them but in this campaign, we thought it'd be fun to switch around so everyone gets to play something different. So I got rogue. The first requirement is someone who can do stealthy stuff, scout and spot/disarm traps. Second...

    D&D 5E Hey Froggodgames, you remember how you secured your checkout last week?

    After we pointed it out last week, you made changes to your site very quickly to secure your customers credit card information by changing the site protocol to https, providing a valid certificate for www.froggodgames.com and encrypting traffic with TLS 1.2. I got a blank screen when I went to...

    D&D 5E Where does the punitive approach to pc death come from?

    I remember in old games, if your PC died you rolled a new one at 1st level and you joined back up with the party and continued on your way. Even if the party was 20th level, you still started at 1st. It wasn't that big a deal but it changed over time and now 20 years later it seems punitive...

    D&D 5E [5e] The Dreadnought: Mountain Dwarf Battle Master Tank

    Intro The Dreadnought is intended as a frontline melee tank that can dish out decent damage, draw attacks from low AC comrades and keep brutes away from your casters. This allows your party to focus on destroying the enemy without having to worry too much about defending. After some early...

    D&D 5E 'Once per turn'

    This is still kinda throwing me. There are a lot of abilities that are usable 'once per turn'. Does this mean 'once per round' or 'once per action type you take during a round'? The thief in the party is adamant it's the latter, which seems sorta unbalanced, since he can potentially apply sneak...
