    D&D 5E Magic Items for a Monk Character?

    I would say that Bracers of Defence would be fine for a Monk "magic armor" equivalent.

    D&D 5E [poll] Sorcerer Satisfaction Survey

    Monks without anything else going on can attack three times per round. Two mains level 5+ and one bonus any time they want at level 1+.

    D&D 5E [poll] Sorcerer Satisfaction Survey

    Huh, Stan the Storm Master never seems underspelled or underpowered to me. Sorcerors are theme-based casters not kitchen sink casters. Sounds to me like the people that are seeing issues just want Wizards with Sorcery points.

    DISCUSSION: Have you ever had to boot somebody from a game?

    I have and it wasn't very difficult. The individual would make borderline character concept characters and then push the buttons of other players. We would rotate meal makers/bringers (meal, drinks, desert, etc), and while we provided home cooked meals or quality meals from restaurants, they...

    D&D 5E Is Dying really hard?

    Considering how many homicides end with "stabbed 20+ times", the idea of a truly feral enemy like a gnoll or a troll simply turning away from a foe because they fell unconscious "because tactics" doesn't hold too much water in my glass.

    I hate death saves. Propose your solution.

    Character at 0 HP is unconscious and dying. The party now has three minutes to complete a successful *skilled* healing check or use magic to stabilize the dying character at 0 HP or above. Every time the character takes damage after falling at 0 HP you take one minute away from this rescue...

    Gatekeeping, Edition Wars, and Fandom

    In the defense of the article, I certainly felt the fighters = mages vibe from 4th edition. You may vehemently disagree with that notion, but the disagreement doesn't mean that I didn't feel that way when I was playing it. I was also a bit of an elitist jerk about it, to be honest. It was like...

    Heavy Armor Master OR Toughness

    HAM all the way. It is always better to not take damage at all than to be able to soak up more damage.

    D&D 5E Paladin: Why Are They Often Considered Highly Powerful?

    The main difference I see that boosts Palladin in 5th vs. earlier editions is that they can declare smite *after* they confirm a successful to-hit roll. Every earlier edition had to declare smite before the to-hit roll and I had *never* landed a successful smite until 5th edition. I started in 1984.

    High Elf 14 Wood Elf 28 Tree hugger elves sneak up and stab you raised-pinky elves.

    How Much Damage does a supplex do in D&D?

    But what about that falling damage, bro? If they do it right (good to-hit die roll) there will typically be a combined height with both participants of at least 10 feet. Set up with the Rogue right and you can get 1d6 + double STR + weapon + sneak attack and the enemy is prone for the rest of...

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    As should be pretty obvious from the tone of my posts, I prefer the more alien approach to Elves that this change creates. In fact, I will simply assume that all non-Drow Elves have this blessing and it's up to the individual players to decide if they want to do something with it in terms of...

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    I said it before and I will say it again. Gender is between your ears and sex is between your legs. If you hear your entire life that "Boys/Girls can't/don't do those things" and you follow that social pressure then you are being molded by social constructs, not ability. If you choose the way...

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    Yeah, I actually brought that up a ways back. I would assume that make/female would have clothing and/or other visual social markers to denote the current sex of the person rather than the typically fairly obvious dimorphism of humans. Secondary sexual characteristics (breasts, changes in...

    Survivor Elves, Elves, Elves- WOOD ELF WINS!

    Avariel - 3 We need flying Elves like we need flying grey oozes (Yes, I'm talking to you, Michael!) Wood elf - 37 Because treehugging Elves make the best Elves.

    Your Suspension of Disbelief: SHATTERED!

    "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy." - Murphy's Laws of Combat Yeah, I've had this happen a few times as well back when we were in High School. I have learned as I have GMed myself that it pays to be a fan of the characters and to cheer their successes rather than get mad about them.

    What makes Great Weapon Master and Sharpshooter so good?

    So there you have it. It either matters and is completely Boss, or it doesn't and isn't. Great job, guys. Really. #golfclap
