So, not for any particular reason I did this, not for any particular game or campaign. But just to satisfy my own nerdom, I wanted to see if I could make a halfway decent Predator using the PHB and not really deviating from it. Obviously you can make whatever you want with homebrew, but you know...

If you're looking to have some fun right before Halloween, have your group all get together, and drop this on your DM with no warning. After his initial horror at what you've done to his game, he'll laugh(and also cry) along with you all for years to come! Jason Voorhees, as the Barbarian...

So, I made this character for a game that I don't think is happening anymore, due to scheduling conflicts. Because I'm loathe to have him just collect dust forever, I wanted to at least show him off a little to get other peoples' thoughts/opinions/etc. Here is Roger Cromwell, Human Outlander...

In every edition of D&D I've ever seen, Dwarves are consistently shown to live in mountains and generally underground. Sometimes near to the surface, but sometimes they're shown to be deep, deep down in the dark. They collect gems, they're dedicated miners, so far so good. But they're also...

Just a quick topic here, but I notice that a common mistake in the group I play with: There's this tendency, coming from 3.5 and then 4e and then Pathfinder, to look at the monsters in the MM and think, "Gee, these guys are kinda weak and stupid. I think I'll give them a little boost." And...

So under the rules for Elven Trance, it says that Elves can go into Trance instead of falling asleep, and then it gives you all the rules for Trancing. Based on the wording, can my Elven Barbarian choose to sleep instead of Trance? Or is he just Edward Norton from Fight Club, where it's not...

Just like the title says. Except, it's only a very specific set of links. You know how you go into a section of the boards, and then find topics you want to read? Like say you go into the 5th Edition section, and then click on a topic in there? Well, up above the topic are a list of different...

Hey, just now there seem to be a number of options that have suddenly appeared. Basically, they're buttons I can press that let me share whatever page I'm on with others. I can click on Facebook, Twitter, E-Mail, I can print the page, and then there are more options. Is there a way to turn this...

So, I think it would be funny for a possible game, to randomly throw Beta Ray Bill at my players, have him beat them up, then have them fly away. Obviously this would be for a game where the 'story' isn't so important, or it would be a Planescape or Spelljammer game where I feel you could get...

Very straight forward, I can't find much about unarmed fighting in the book, it seems that I can do it the same as anything else, but that the disadvantage is it just does one damage. But, is that the case, though? Do we add strength to it? So, if I'm playing a Half-Orc with 16 strength, do I...

So, a buddy ran a completely off the cusp game, and his one demand for us three players is that we all play Rogues, and we all be our race's equivalents of 18. (I wish I had known this prior because I was carefully crafting a Dragonborn Druid at the time, but it was no big loss. Character...

So, I got the player's handbook the other day, love it, I'm a big fan of 5th Edition so far. Got a question though, why do Halflings look so horrific? I would never play one of these things, look at it. It's head is massive and giant, and it's got little tiny hands and feet. Honestly, you just...

So, I'm wanting to run some D&D, but I'm really, really tired of the standard fantasy business, or what I call "Tolkien Fantasy". I like Orcs, I like Elves, I like Giants and I like magic, but I'm tired of castles and stuff. So what I would like to do, is bump things up on the timescale and make...

Yeah, I've got nothing to contribute, but I've seen the news of it on EN, then I clicked to read the Kickstarter thing they have. Man, that looks good, that looks really good. And I gotta tell you...I would make Batman for a game like that. I don't care, man, I would throw actual real-life...

So, I haven't seen the PDF yet, I'm iffy about downloading things. But I need to find out once and for all, can you inflict any damage with a grapple? If I have a 20 strength Barbarian, and he hoists a Goblin up and drops it on its neck and skull, does the goblin take any damage? If my...

Just like the title says. Any campaign or game idea you've ever had, whether it's good or bad, or whether it doesn't even have a system attached to it. I'll start us off: I had one idea just now while reading a few threads involving investigation, where the entire party is like a 'Detective...

Pretty simple, what are some ideas for characters you have, but haven't used? I'll start us off, with a Halfling Monk that I'd play as a Luchador. Make him like a miniature Danny Trejo in a mask, have him flip around and leap off of things to splash people on the ground, etc. It would be a lot...

Hi. This is pretty much a tabletop problem, but it could be a problem with skype sessions or other, non-forum or non-chat based games. A few years back, my buddies and I wanted to make a pro wrestling game, and have a whole campaign of us climbing to the top. We were having fun figuring out...

So, today and yesterday I was typing "your character" into the results, because I wanted to ramble about myself. But that doesn't seem to work, it tells me that something is an error. Whatever, cool. So I type 'chaotic neutral' instead, because I like alignment arguments, but I can't actually...

So, I'm thinking that a lot of Rogue and Fighter multiclassing would make for a great unarmed vigilante in the vein of Rorschach, or even very early Batman(who was more of a pulp hero than this absolute chessmaster). With Rogue, you get a lot of skill points and you get appropriate things such...
