    D&D 5E Witch Elf Character (inspired by mini)

    So as my miniature collection is rather large from my war gaming addiction, I often like to convert a nice mini that I can use as a character. I have a very nice converted witch elf model that I would like to use as the inspiration for a drug induced frothing lunatic in an upcoming campaign...

    D&D 5E Natural Attacks, Shields and Two Weapon Fighting

    I'm running a campaign that uses modified Lizardfolk from the Kobold Press Southlands publication. One of the capabilities is a natural bite attack. As one of the players is making a barbarian lizardfolk in order to head off the obvious I need some advice. If you have a natural attack that...

    D&D 5E How to Build Indiana Jones

    Who doesn't love Indie Indy? No not the music but the character from such beloved movies as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade and The Crystal Skull. So what are the features of an Indy type character and what would you use to make him? Here's my take..... Race -...

    The 5e -Sohei, Oriential Adventures Style

    3rd Edition Oriental Adventures Sohei The Sohei was always a fascinating character class option from oriental adventures to me. Inspired by the sohei warrior monks of japan the sohei of oriental adventures drew inspiration from mythology as well as history. The sohei of history were like the...

    D&D 5E Eladrin Knight (aka Teleport instead of walk)

    In 4th ed one of my favourite characters was an Eladrin Knight. All that teleporting around every time I hit someone, using my Int as my attack stat and generally being a very mobile heavily armoured knight. There was also the added advantage of buffing up my Cha instead of Con or Str to make...

    D&D 5E Items Gone Sideways

    Recently I was Dming a 5th edition version of Zenopus's ruined tower dungeon for some new players. Always love the classics when I can use them, and the dungeon is really very simple and relatively easy to convert on the fly. In rolling up treasure I decided that I would every once in a while...

    The Tar Pit Swamp

    So part of my 5e DnD campaign is going to take the characters through a Tar Pit/Pond Swamp. Oily black tar and asphalt will be bubbling up from the earth and create hopefully a very sticky situation for a few combats. Just need a few ideas from the crowd here to flesh out the location, here...

    D&D 5E Characters you never played...

    As a long time DM I rarely get to play as a PC and over the years have developed a long list of "wish I hadda/can played" characters, which sometimes jump out as NPC but not always. For 5e I'm finding my list is growing again: Mountain Dwarf Infernal Bladelock - a Masochistic dark dwarf...

    D&D 5E Do you allow adult situations in your games?

    By adult situations I'm referring too all the uncomfortable stuff that comes along with playing DnD that is more like the Westeros than Forgotten Realms. Sex, prostitution, uncomfortable violence, torture, where half-orcs actually come from (nicely put - forced "mating") and also the other side...

    D&D 5E Tiefling Bloodlines

    As stated in the PHB the tiefling curse follows through human bloodlines. What would happen if a tiefling had offspring with elves or orcs. I'm assuming you would get a tiefling offspring. However would a half-Orc tiefling be more bestial with a little of the orc blood showing through? How...

    D&D 5E Odd weapons...

    So I have some weapons issues to ask about and wonder what the community here thinks about them. The first has probably been gone over. What is the point of a trident? I mean can't it be made even a little bit different from a spear in a good way? I understand morningstar/warpick...
