Just before session zero for Phandelver and Below, a player dmed me the following: I replied: I then got to wondering about an entity that, in the context of being pissed off with the pressures of its duties, it loves the escapism of tuning in as an audience for its favorite stress...

So, the druid, sorcerer and wizard cantrip, Mold Earth has a range of 30 ft, three options of effects on "a portion of dirt or stone that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube" and a first option that, "If you target an area of loose earth, you can instantaneously excavate...

This is intended as a spin-off thread/comment piece to AmandaBarbarian's, World Building: Army building thread within which various arguments have been presented regarding the use of AoE spell casters and use of ground preparation techniques to protect areas. Among other facilities for...

Anything else you'd add to the mix? How would characters, or built-into-world chancers, best make this work? To start with, let's make sure we've got our casters together and in the mood for concentration. Once at least one party member has got the mark alone and unsupported, and that would...

As far as I know, Skywrite is effectively the most far-reaching of AoE spells. The spell simply says that "You cause up to ten words to form in a part of the sky you can see", and that, "The words appear to be made of cloud". No direct reference is made to height but, with reference to sky and...

So one wizard sits on a pony, horse, phantom steed, broom of flying, carpet of flying or other moving thing and ritual casts a succession of floating disks. Hopefully, this can be done so that subsequent disk can replace those preceding. Other ritual casters sit on these floating disks and...

I'm looking to do a/some three-month stint/s, one evening per week with, hopefully, a wilderness/nature/feywild 5e campaign. (Could do ~Pathfinder). I'd prefer to support a third-party publisher but could always defer back to Ghosts of Saltmarsh which, although I don't currently own, I've played...

So here are some situations regarding a potential target of a potential effect of such a thing as a spell. 1. the target is within range but on the other side of a transparent, solid barrier such as glass. 2. the target is within range but cannot be directly seen due to an inability to turn or...

How would you rule this?

Long live Sparta (and the rest of history more honestly) Spear: d8; versatile d10, and when used two-handed, can be lunged one-handed (d8) with reach. That's how I think spears should be used. =D Please adopt. edit (10:50) 20/5/23: Thanks for the wealth of great response. How about...

(Another way to ask it could be, how many offered feats would it take for a feat-hungry character to sacrifice a level?) I'm thinking of starting a 5e campaign perhaps at level two but thought I might give an option to start at level one but with one or more free feats. How would you relate the...
