As others have said, if it becomes problematic then give them a warning shot as a display that flying may not always be so safe. Not to kill the party, but just shake them up. Maybe a wandering wyvern or some perytons take a fancy to a few squishy types knocking about on some birds. It's...

I'm running SKT at the moment, and I must say the giants do hit very, very hard. Particularly Fire and Storm giants. The party at the moment is more likely to flee from those rather than fight them head on. Other giants they don't have too much issue with. This may be unique to giants though...

My group generally does things reasonably dark during campaigns, with pockets of silly and light-hearted dotted about. Even when things are bleak and miserable you've got to have a good time at some point. I'd say more serious than truly dark, but it's dark when required. We generally keep one...

How about changing it to changing one spell known over a 24 hour period of downtime (so, whilst the party are knocking about in a town not doing anything more strenuous than drinking and shopping), and changing your whole spell list on levelling up?

My go-to classes are fighter and warlock. I occasionally dabble in the other classes, but only if they better suit the image I have for my character than the other two. If it's mundane, default fighter. If it's magic, default warlock.

Would just like to add in that just because he's a necromancer, it doesn't necessarily mean all of his minions are undead. Humanoid followers, aberrations and monstrosities that have been bent to his will, etc.

I would add to Peerless Display that the creature must be able to see you as well as you seeing it. I don't imagine anything that's blind will be overly impressed regardless of how well you can juggle greatswords.

My players are pretty on the spot with inventory management, so potions aren't an issue. As far as Scrolls are concerned, I make my players add whatever spell it is to the bottom of their spell list with (scroll) next to it. I generally also give my players Scrolls containing spells that they...

I see them as druids who went for a more hands on approach to druiding. Protectors of natural order, peace, and the general balance of the planes. All about letting things do what they do, and then pruning the bits that get a bit out of hand as and when they need it. Much like the person above...

My group has only had dealings with the Material Plane, the Ethereal Plane, the Astral Plane and the Plane of Fire. The plane of fire was essentially rock, and magma as far as the eye could see, with the occasional partially melted stone structures. We only had a brief visit there, as the...

Totem of Dwarvenkind This life size mannequin perfectly resembles a Dwarf is stature and build. Once per day, you can speak a simple phrase no longer than a sentence that the mannequin will speak when it hears its command word. The command word is chosen when the mannequin passes into your...

Agree wholeheartedly with the swim speed and cold resistance. Add in Auran as a native language (or Aquan maybe? They're aquatic birds I guess), and suffering no penalty for fighting underwater, as that seems pretty penguin-ey. As for stats, I'm thinking Dex and then maybe Con or Wis? The...

I would say worry about your main gods (ie life, death, peace, war, nature, elemental gods, etc), then fill in the slightly more "niche" ones as you need them. A dozen or so 'generic catch-all' gods, a handful of racial ones, and a few specific/silly ones. I'd say you have too many when you...

Gravy domain cleric, clerics who specialise in liquids that compliment roasts Bar step, a spell that teleports you to the nearest pub Negative energy food, a spell that makes your dinner undead Rice knife, a starchy weapon Fine greater steed, for when your horse owes you money Druid glove...

I have a magic trinket salesman in my games, but he only sells very minor magic items, on par with the common ones from Xanathars. He occasionally might sell something rarer if it's still low level rarity and something that a player specifically needs, at which time he will make it to order over...

In that vein, plate and half plate don't specify that it's metal plates. We have a druid/nature cleric in our games who is using bone and magic wood for his armour.

You could easily fluff raging as a battle-trance if you wanted to go for a more zen/spiritual combatant or a combatant that just used an aggressive fighting style rather than just being a wall of anger and teeth in a loincloth. I've also seen raging as a way of running a "lycanthrope" in game...

My group has run Death House, The Wolves of Welton, A Wild Sheep Chase and The Horror At Havel's Cross all to great success.

I'm not afraid to fudge dice rolls, and I will often have a plan laid aside should the party start taking a shoeing. Quite often it's the party being taken prisoner or being dragged off to a lair if it's a TPK, or the monster (if intelligent) not deeming the party worthy of an honourable death...

I've ran The Horror At Havel's Cross (DMs Guild) with a new group and it went really well. Has combat, a puzzle and a social bit, all of which you can expand on if you want.
