Awesome responses so far! Thanks for all the good ideas. I actually took this far enough to research facts about bunnies. Turns out they have nearly 360 degree vision, horrible/no depth perception, great hearing and smelling, and literally jump for joy. I'm glad to see someone has already...

Thanks! I love the idea of burrowing speed. That's exactly the type of bizarre kind of skill I'd be looking for. As for the flurry of blows/whirling dervish idea, I'm going to throw it out to the DM and the group and see what we come up with. I think I may have an aspect of the beast...

I'm playing a game with a very lenient DM who is willing to let us customize things quite freely. Nothing really gets out of hand and it's quite fun trying to come up with inventive and original concepts. I'm currently playing a pretty hard-headed female Half-orc barbarian who is trying to...

So, a 5th level Wizard in my game just came across a cool book. He was hanging out in a shop and took a gander at the bookshelf. I figured this would be a good time to allow a roll just for giggles. Well, a natural 20 told me that I had to come up with something. I didn't want to use a book...

Awesome to know I'm not the only one who second guesses himself! I'm currently playing a bard in a new campaign. We got to roughly 500xp this weekend and should probably hit 3rd level next session. I'm still not sure if I want to go Valor or Lore myself, but I won't get into that discussion...

By far, Stealth and Perception. This is probably based on my DM's style. Arcana and Investigation come up often, too.

Ok. Got it. Thanks so much. This is a pretty exciting opportunity!

First of all, thanks for the concise summary. I just want to get something straight, and I think people here can help. I've read the FAQs and rules on the DMsG website and before I commit to writing my own adventures and sharing my partner's art, I want to be sure that I understand the...

I actually did let the players control the NPC. We used the point buy system and drew him up together. It was actually quite funny because after a couple of hours with the NPC, neither of the players liked him. I scrapped it because the NPC seemed to just get in the way of the players' own...

Thanks for the resources! Ath-kethin - I think I've gotten much better at adapting the game to be a bit less overwhelming to the players. It's funny that you mentioned players feeling like they have to confront everything. This attitude just ended another campaign in which I was playing...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anybody knows of any published campaigns or adventures that work well with parties of 2? As of now, there are only two people I have who will consistently play. Occasionally a third person shows up, but not frequently enough to be relied upon. I've downloaded some...

It's hard to say exactly what you can do because it depends on the types of encounters. What does the party consist of and who are the enemies they've faced so far? I'd suggest starting by bumping AC on a few enemies, but not all of them. I'm also a fan of throwing in one or two tougher...

Thanks for all of the insight! I think I'll just be patient and wait it out for the next couple of sessions. I'll need to get a better feel for the rest of the party and how the adventure starts to unfold. After all, the decision doesn't have to be made yet! Cutting Words is powerful, but I...

Hello all, Thanks for reading my first post! B-) I'm looking for some feedback or insight to help me on my party's current adventure. We just started out a new campaign at level 1 and our party consisted of a Dragonborn Paladin, a Halfling Rogue, a Half-Elf sorcerer, and me, a Variant Human...
