    D&D 5E Dodge and "Riposte"

    I am considering adding a bonus action to the Dodge. Anytime a character takes Dodge as their action, once per round, they may Riposte as a bonus action if the opponent would have missed on a natural roll of 1-9. If their roll of 2-9 would have hit had the character not been dodging, then...

    D&D 5E Feelings on Ranged Damage

    For decades now I have been disappointed with the dramatic effect in Sword and Board of ranged damage. Which game really doesn't matter, but I am currently looking at 5E. With Sneak Attack one may do some really fantastic amounts of damage using a ranged weapon. However, the ranged class...

    D&D 5E New Spell: Galling Stone

    I am looking for recommendations on this spell. Is it OP? Is it UP? (Frankly, I was thinking of the Rogue Vax and the Bard Scanlan in the Vox Machina battle against Umbrasil when I came up with the idea. I think it is very Scanlanesque. :lol:) Any recommendations for tweaking? This is my...

    D&D 5E Races in my Own Campaign World

    I have read the DMG and PHB in 5E. I have been looking online for days. Two things, which are somewhat related, have me baffled. The first is Feats - which I can't really get a grip on at all. There is nothing in the charts, instructions, etc. that definitely states how many feats a...
