Wow, great ideas! Thanks! Would you be willing to share your builds for the High Druid and Clan Chief? It would save me a lot of time. We can connect on Roll20 if you happened to have used that platform for your game. Also, did you upscale Argensvolt? Finally, did you do Strahd's...

Just thought I'd loop back and tell everyone what happened. I ultimately decided to go with a combination of 1 and 3. The battle started off badly for the characters, but one of them got smart and cast a combination of silence, web and grease on them. This worked well since they had to stay...

WARNING: Some very minor Curse of Strahd spoilers inside. Hello everyone.. Posted a similar thread last week but didn't get any replies. I'm running Curse of Strahd with a whopping 7 players. This has forced me to scale up nearly every encounter; and even then they seem to be blowing...

First and foremost, this thread contains spoilers. If you are a player in an Curse of Strahd module, please stop reading now. Hail and well met! Though CoS is a D&D 5e module, my questions are more creative in nature so I decided to post this here. I need some advice from you clever game...

Thanks for all the replies.. Many great ideas here. I should start by saying that I'm primarily a GURPS player and if I were using that system I would probably go with a medium shield and a style similar to hoplomachia. My vision is a character that doesn't need to rely on Magic (actually...

Hey all... I'm trying to create a character that fits a concept I have in mind. I want to make a sword and board defender. I was him to be a tank focused on the protection of his party. I was thinking a Mountain Dwarf or Hill Dwarf Fighter Defender/Battle Master. I also thought about a...

Nice idea. The GURPS heavy spear was also two handed but if your strength was 50% higher than the minimum, you could weild it one-handed.

Hey all... My gaming group is finishing up a short campaign and we are starting another that we plan to take from 1st level to 20th. My concept is a hoplite warrior.. I want to brandish a shield and long reach weapon (preferably); a highly defensive tank that can take a LOT of punishment and...

Thanks for the responses! Very helpful.

Nice answer! Thank you. Any clear advantages to the Tome or Chain?

Thanks for the reply, Hero, but I don't think the GM will let me change from the Archfey at this time. I've already used Fey Presence and Sleep (which is a spell only available to the Archfey). It's also clear that my character is of Neutral Good alignment. (Note that I realize a follower of...

Its been an unspeakable number of years, but I'm back playing D&D again. Last edition I played was 3rd (I think) but after college I switched to GURPS and never looked back. A friend recently started up a 5e D&D game and here I am again. :) He generated some characters for us and is running...
