    D&D 5E Creating my first Warlock

    So, I want to create a Warlock pc for the first time. I've looked over the class in the PHB, read some comments on the forums, and looked at the pertinent Unearthed Arcana. I'm not a power gamer or min/maxer, and my preference is not to multi-class, even if it means I don't max out my...

    HotDQ advice? (spoiler)

    Can anyone who is familiar with Hoard of the Dragon Queen give a little advice? My PC's are just about ready to make the journey down the Chionthar River to Baldur's Gate. Back in the Dragon Hatchery chapter, cultist Frulam Mondath escaped, realizing she was outnumbered and that Langdedrossa...

    Banking in Faerun

    So, I'm a pretty new DM, and the PCs are getting to the point where they've got a decent amount of coin jingling around in their bags. I'm feeling like I need to have an option for banking/storage of funds. I posted on a 5e Facebook group and gathered some input there, but here are my...

    Playing D&D at Gen Con: "What did he say?"

    Now that I've gotten over the nasty Con Plague I contracted at Gen Con this year, I wanted to briefly share my experience of playing D&D and get some other perspectives... I thought the sound level was horrible. It was very hard to hear all but the loudest DM's and players over the din. The...

    need suggestions for a paladin-related side quest

    So, I'm running Hoard of the Dragon Queen, and the paladin in the party has as part of his backstory that he is a protege of the NPC Ontharr Frume, a paladin of Torm. Since the PC's are supposed to travel north to Elturel to see Ontharr, I thought it would be fitting and cool to have some sort...

    D&D 5E "My X is underpowered compared to Y." So?

    I'm reading so very often people complaining that their Sorcerer/Monk/Ranger whoever doesn't do as much damage as some other class, and I'm wondering why some of us assume that all characters should deal damage equally. My understanding of the game is that different classes have strengths and...

    D&D 5E Non-Scaling Class Specialties: Why Choose Them?

    So, I'm still learning D&D 5E, and I'm reading through the classes in the PHB again. As I do so, I'm asking myself what choices I would make if I were going to play a fighter, cleric, etc. This leads me to ask: what would be the reasoning for taking a non-scaling class specialty? Let's look...

    D&D 5E Extra attacks for barbarian and fighter

    I'm new to 5e, so apologies if my question seems obvious or rudimentary...If I'm reading the PHB correctly, a 5th level Path of the Beserker barbarian has the possibility of three attacks: his/her regular attack, the extra attack earned at level 5, and then a third attack (as a bonus action)...
