    D&D 5E Chains of Asmodeus: Official 286-Page Nine Hells Book & Adventure Released!

    I'm curious about dungeon crawling. Are there any classic dungeon maps? Not much of that available at high levels.

    Monster & Magic Item Cards Coming In February

    None of the beasts from the back of the mm. Those would be very useful to keep out for pets and wildshapes.

    First Impressions – Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage

    My store didn't have the books, but did have the map packs. So I have seen the map packs maps, but not the book maps. The map packs maps are standard page size, glossy, and 1 sq = 10. The pack also comes with perforated sheets of the cards. Not sturdy laminated, but you could probably use dry...

    Ravnica & Dungeon of the Mad Mage Are In Stores Today!

    My local gaming store that normally gets the early releases didn't have either this morning. Cited printing problems.

    Mythological Figures: Baba Yaga (5E)

    Wont. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Fighter: Samurai, Sharpshooter, Arcane Archer & Knight

    Confused and don't have time to read through 15 pages to find out if its been discussed - so please help if it has. What is the 'Search' action? I don't see that in the PHB. What is a 'bonus turn'? Is it a full second turn? Can you multi-attack? Can you cast a full spell that requires an...

    Minis or Theatre of the Mind? (Survey)

    Neither. I use engineering graph paper and sketch lightly with mechanical pencils. each character or monster is an initial. hold the pad in front of them and ask them where they want to move to, erase and write the initial in the new spot. I never have understood why this isn't the most common...

    D&D 5E 5e EPIC MONSTER UPDATES

    I'm sorry, I don't know of anything. Also, I don't necessarily mean cr20+ minion. Mid-teens for cr. Stuff to cut through. You know, actually. Abishai have potential. Dragon like, but medium to large size. No legendaries, though reactions and bonus actions are good. To be used in fighting to the...

    D&D 5E 5e EPIC MONSTER UPDATES

    Good points, and agreed it's a problem with epic tier play. How do I do epic level dungeons where you have a series of encounters that are challenging, and create that attrition that 5e is based on, before getting to the epic boss. Otherwise I'm just like "ok, you plane shift into this vast open...

    D&D 5E 5e EPIC MONSTER UPDATES

    For me, I don't need more neutral or good anything. I'd rather see more epic, bad guy minions. Medium or large size, so I don't need an absurd space for the combats.

    D&D 5E What is the "role" in roleplaying

    And also it's ok, even good, to present the players with situations their design choices are suboptimal for. A group of paladins with a wizard and a life cleric dropped in the woods. Humans in the underdark, etc.

    D&D 5E What is the "role" in roleplaying

    When a dm sets up a situation where the players' character generation and customization choices can't be utilized to improve the outcome, it's poor design. The design being the dm's design, not the rules design. The chosen options would be used in different ways. Different design choices would...

    D&D 5E What is the "role" in roleplaying

    Outcomes matters. They're what make it a game. If you are setting up situations that take the ability of the players to improve their odds of having a good outcome through their character design choices, then that's poor design. I do agree that player choices of character personality should...

    D&D 5E What is the "role" in roleplaying

    This is a 5e forum. The point about skills aren't class is like discounting my points because I used you're instead of your. The point is they are player choices. They are somewhat related to class by stats and by availability to the class- obviously you can get skills other ways. Yes. When...

    D&D 5E What is the "role" in roleplaying

    Your contrived example is premised on game rules don't matter. In your example, the party wizard is proficient in insight and makes a check and gets some information that leads to a better decision. Or the high wisdom druids makes a perception check. Or the ranger does a survival check and sees...
