Hello All. I would like to suggest that more neutral language, more "professional language" be utilized when moderators issue a warning. There should be, a more formal tone coupled with general politeness, that should make it clear to readers that this is an official moderator response...

Hi Everyone. I just received my copy of Mystic Odysseys of Theros. The initial reaction from the PDF purchasing crowd, seemed negative towards the Oath of Glory subclass. I find the Oath of Glory to be interesting. Thematically an Oath of Glory Paladin, can play up Being a Hero...More then...

Hello All! With Icewind Dale on the horizon, I for one, am ready for an end to the Adventure Path/Gazetteer focus solely resting on the Forgotten Realms. I am a monogamist in regards to relationships, but polyamorous in regards to D&D settings....how about an adventure set in Eberron, or a brand...

So until a few months ago, I had only been a DM for 5e, not a player. The game is fun to be a player in. I did not always feel that way in 1e and 3e. Sometimes, being a player was quite UNFUN, in either of those games. 4e was always a blast...(it had to be, beyond blasting, impeding, or...

I love it when, in game, a confluence of PC actions engenders a surprising result. I’ve been playing in a group of players that are, predominately, new to D&D, and am often pleased to find that options that are deemed “subpar” by the D&D Borg/Internet Hypermind, actually are decent or good in...

A friend started up an Eberron game, and I received the go ahead to play a Psi Knight fighter subclass from the Unearthed Arcana article. The campaign started at 3rd level. I am playing a variant human Fighter Psi Knight. For my bonus feat I chose Wild Talent (Strength). It was really, quite...

In the thread of What’s so Great about Medieval Europe....the owner of En World made several comments referencing America in the first few pages. I don’t think it is too far of a stretch to say posters here, will take their lead on what type of posts are acceptable, from the owner and...

So I have a 3rd level Cleric of Trickery, that also bears a Dragonmark of Shadow. Since Pass Without Trace is on both the Divine Domain spell list and the Dragonmark list, the DM has allowed me to replace Pw/oT with Shadowblade, (as a Dragonmark spell...preparation still required). Abilities...

I apologize, if this is breaking a social taboo, like starting a group text with your Spouse and Lover and asking which is a better kisser. I glanced at the Giants in the Playground 5e board today and saw that @ad_hoc had also started a 1st level spell ranking thread there, as well. The...

A judicious use of the Silence spell, has saved myself, many times over the years. I have never felt a casting of the Silence spell, to ever have been a waste of resources. Even when the spell has been circumvented. Even if I used all my second level spell slots casting the spell. A...

The “No Religion” ban is enforced haphazardly on Enworld, and thus capriciously. in this thread: IRL nominations (historically classic ie religious, pantheonic, folkloric, no newer than 1600) for mythical cosmologies you enjoy including in d&d. Posters are literally voting for their favorite...

I am curious how others handle the Ravinica Backgrounds/ Eberron races that add spells to a characters spell list, when those spells are already on the characters spell list? Many of the Dragonmarked houses in Eberron have spell list additions that consist primarily from one class’ spell...

I am curious to know what level your 1st character died at. Now by death, I am not referring to death saves. For me: Campaign 1: Death at 2nd level. 2 crits back to back from zombies and insta death. No deaths since then, but death saves are not uncommon. Party is currently 8th level. 6...

By inclination I tend to run spells as written. I aspire, however, to consider the spell to be representative of the power level, and allow an alteration based off player request, and not quote rules and say no. If a paladin wants to cast Magic Weapon, on Spike his trusty War Mastiff ( only 25...

Is swapping Pass w/o Trace for Shadow Blade a "fair" swap?

I have read multiple times on this board advice to the effect “ if a story line is completed it is ok to end the campaign”. Which to my mind is liking stoping a play, after a great First Act. The key to a Long Running campaign is the same as having a long relationship....don’t end it.😜 It is...

I've always felt Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, the 3.5E renovation was rather good, especially the castle maps. Reading the description of Curse of Strahd, and It sounds as if many of the same elements were ported over. For those familiar with both, what would make CoS a worthy purchase...

So, I’ve had two players in two separate campaigns ask to retire their single class Barbarian characters. Both were around 8th level, and both “ got bored w/ the character”. Both also felt other classes got more variety of powers and did more damage. The characters in question were a...

The distinction between ability check and Saving Throw is so blurred as to be nearly meaningless. Announce someone is making a Saving Throw at the gaming table, and nobody pays much attention...too hum drum, too common. Announce that someone is Death Save, and the arm is being yanked off the...

Spell Versatility and the Bard raises my eyebrows. So now for the cost of a single Known Spell the Bard can bi-daily cast Awaken or Raise Dead... or any of these spells: (SRD Copy) Animate Objects Awaken Dominate Person Dream Geas Greater Restoration Hold Monster Legend Lore Mass Cure...
