The one thing I wish they'd explained is why all the Changelings look like Odo, when Odo is attempting to look like the scientist who raised him. I wish they'd thrown in at least a brief explanation of "we took on this form to try and convince you to stay" or something.

I say turn it from a punishment into a reward. When a character rolls a 1 on a Weapon Attack or Spell Attack, they can choose to break their weapon or spell focus and reroll. If they hit, it counts as a critical hit.

I think this is totally reasonable, but it's not answering the OP's question about how to use Charisma to find a secret door.

A character is climbing a wall. They search for good handholds and pull themselves up deftly. Did they use Strength or Dexterity to climb? Or maybe Wisdom to search out the handholds? Or Constitution as they take their time holding on? The abilities all bleed into each other. The OP asked for...

Your high Charisma means you have a lot of experience with people, and you know how people act and make decisions. You use your Charisma (Investigation) to imagine how other people would use this room. Where would they sit, rest, talk? Where would they hide something? That's where your character...

I was just thinking about The Simpsons, and how Bart and Lisa are forever stuck in 4th and 2nd Grade. Imagine seeing technology advance 35 years during one year of school.

@Xenolith234 typing "@" and then the first letter opens a little menu for me to select names.

I don't think it's in the Rules as Intended, but it would be a really cool opportunity for the character to invent their own version of the spell! "Speak with Doors" is a really evocative spell name.

What makes his Druid different?

Who is Laser Llama?

If I were creating a character, my top three choices would be Halfling, Dragonborn, Tiefling. For me, these three have fun built-in stories: Halflings: being the underdog, the small one in a world of giants Dragonborn: being the charismatic monster, all the interesting characteristics of...

I've always wanted to run a campaign in which, over time, the characters' small home town grows into a massive sprawling city. The characters (or generations of characters) can guide its growth, investing in certain industries and fighting back powerful influences of demons, dragons, mind...

I'm a DM and between groups. I've been running some one-shots over the last year and hoping to find a way to run a regular game.

I guess in my dream 6e, Fighter would have the role as a super combatant so the barbarian, or whatever you want to call it, wouldn't have to be Mr. Beefcake with all the Hit Points. Let's say you had a Wilder class that had monk-level hit points and a lot of cool abilities related to interacting...

Keep in mind that this is my own crazy vision for 6e, but yeah totally. Or maybe they'd be gated to certain paths of spellcasting? Battlemage, etc. But if you're choosing to be a combat-focused spellcaster then you're choosing to not have the other kinds of spells and magic. Playing a wizard...
