    D&D 5E Moon Circle Druid Play Report

    The early encounters in HOTDQ were very challenging, and that's what I liked about them. When I started playing DND, that's more how the game was played. Hearing from so many people how challenging 5E and HOTDQ in particular were is what lead me to play it in the first place. This is also why...

    D&D 5E Moon Circle Druid Play Report

    If the druid sees this battlefield ahead of him, he can always pick the giant hyena form instead. 45HP instead of 35HP, a faster speed at 50, and gives up multi-attack in favor of rampage, which allows him to get a free move AND attack if he kills an enemy. If we are talking kobolds here, that...

    D&D 5E Moon Circle Druid Play Report

    Did I forget to mention that the bear moves faster than most humanoids? He's pretty good at chasing down mobiles that try to use slings. As for exploiting his weaknesses, that comes with a whole new set of issues. First, the game is not the DM vs the players. Not all enemies will know the...

    D&D 5E Moon Circle Druid Play Report

    Until the 2nd level druid came to my table, my game was challenging and fair. One day with the druid and you could see one person was having most of the fun. He was able to do solo what the other 3 party members did together. He didn't even require healing after the battle. I think their wild...

    D&D 5E Moon Circle Druid Play Report

    I think the fact that a druid's melee fighting ability is being discussed in comparison to that of the fighter and barbarian is telling. So, druid isn't really any better in melee than those classes, ok. Well, what else can they do? They're s spellcaster. They are, at least at some levels...

    D&D 5E Moon Circle Druid Play Report

    Yeah, I'm probably going to go with the CR 1/2 method for lv 2 that's described here. Those CR 1 beasts are a bit too much, especially considering the fact that it's a spell caster doing that melee fighting. The issue reminds me of the Tenser's Transformation days, when wizards were entering...

    D&D 5E Moon Circle Druid Play Report

    I just recently ran a HOTDQ game, episode 2 with a lv 2 moon druid in my party. The druid was new to the game this week, and before even playing, he warned me that he thought he might be overpowered. I didn't think much of it at the time. Well, he was. Both encounters we had that day were...
