My group is 4th level, currently with a Rogue/Thief in Waterdeep. We had a new player join that wanted to try Mike Mearl's new Rogue/Acrobat: https://thinkdm.wordpress.com/hfh/acrobat-rogue/ At one point they got into a chase; the acrobat thought he could use the Aerial Artistry to escape onto...

One of the things I’ve really seen players—especially newer players — like about Dragon Heist is the Code Legal. I’ve noticed that Guidemadter’s Guide to Ravnica doesn’t have something like it, despite it being one big city and having a whole guild devoted to laws. The Avorius probably have...

My players had prisoners who escaped from them set a trap that included the body of one of the former players hanging from a tree. There was a hidden spiked pit in front of the body, but the players Perceived it. However, the prisoners placed a swarm of rot grubs inside the hanging body. One...

Let's say I have a dwarf barbarian NPC that has an adamantine skeleton (and adamantine spikes embedded into his hands). How would you handle an adamantine skeleton? Adamantine armor is supposed to make any critical hits into normal hits (that works), but that doesn't sound like enough of a...

Kobold Press today announced the 46 (of 322 submissions) monster design winners for publication in their sequel to the Tome of Beasts called the Creature Codex. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/350683997/creature-codex-5th-edition-monsters-including-comm/posts/2103418 My design wasn't in...

The player's handbook states: You can change your list of prepared spells whenyou finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of wizardspells requires time spent studying your spellbook andmemorizing the incantations and gestures you mustmake to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell levelfor...

Thus started as just a stealthy wizard but became something with a little more purpose. As always, I appreciate any thoughtful comments and advice.

A friend of mine asked if I could make him an anti-magic paladin. Here's what I came up with: What needs tweaking?

"From the depths of the jungles of Chult they're here! Summaries of the characters from the new Twitch streamed game in all their glory, plus the officially UNOFFICIAL grung traits used to created them. All monies that Wizards would receive from sales of this product are being donated to Extra...

I have seen a few whip feats, but none quite did what several players who were asking to play Indiana Jones-type characters for ToA wanted so I made this one. Lasher You master the whip as both a weapon and a tool. You gain the following benefits when using it: · In your hands, a whip...

So a bunch of fiendish subraces but only a point of ABS besides Charisma moved to other skills and some Legacy spells swaps, plus some cult spells and features. It doesn't do much for my game.

For my next campaign, I'm going to use the Ennegram instead or (or perhaps in addition to) alignments and personality traits, ideals, flaws, and bonds. Enneagram is a model of the human psyche which is principally understood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected personality types. I...

If 1e Dispel Magic is cast on magic armor that grants the wearer of the armor invisiblility, does the "A dispel magic willnot affect a specially enchanted item such as a scroll, magic ring, wand,rod, staff, miscellaneous magic item, magic weapon, magic shield, ormagic armor," from the spell...

Situation: A player is wearing magic armor that turns him invisible (DM describes "as the spell"). He grabs a wand, and his Pixie familiar casts Fly on him. So he dashes 120' up a stairwell, passed the other players who only see a flying wand (player failed roll to see if wand would turn...

Could a wild shaped druid use telepathy? Let's say she dipped into Mystic or is a home-brew race that has telepathy. PHB p. 67 says this about wild shape: •You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to thecapabilities...

I had been working on a single-spell caster or Cynosure (http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/SyHz8NGgW). The hardest part was deciding what level(s) of spell he could choose. 1st level spells would be worthless by 20th level and a Wish spell can't be easily nerved for a 1st level caster...

The idea of a class that can only cast a single spell was mentioned on this forum months ago as a possible new class. I thought it was clever and started thinking about how to create that, but I'm getting stuck - as one might expect with such a limited toolbox - and need help. Utility...

1. 4/4/17 Dragon TALK They discuss Wild Shape and say a monk/druid cannot use a beast's claws in conjunction with an unarmed strike because Claw is different than an Unarmed Strike; you have to choose one or the other. On the other hand, a tabaxi's claws are written as an unarmed strike...
