Before I respond to the following, I want to thank everyone who came in with their opinions, and who helped me come up with some ideas, even if they didn't really agree with my personal thoughts. I'll definitely come back with more questions in the future, knowing that I can expect quick and...

Thank you, I happened to see Defcon's response first. I already knew it was in the phb, I"ve been looking through it for the past few days while helping a few others with character creation, so i haven't really gotten further than Equipment section, and really, anything that said optional, i...

Thanks, I'm on the page for that in the phb right now, but your extra explanation summed it up a bit better for me. I'll think about doing that, since it will reward her for acting on her background, as opposed to it being "just another dice roll"

I'll try to explain my reasoning as clearly as possible. The character usually approaches things with caution, often with more hesitation than is really needed (Three turns of successful perception checks in the same room to make sure no-one is going to just turn around and deck her). When it...

Let me ask a very noob question, how does inspiration work? All i've read about inspiration so far is that the gm decides if it's a part of their game or not, but haven't really had a chance to get into it to much, as i was helping the 3 who haven't played yet with their character sheet.

I guess i'm confused what you mean. If you mean, tell them my idea, and see if they want to roll with it, that could work, i'm just worried that given the choice prior to it becoming relevant, they may choose to play it 'safe'. When i asked what they were looking for out of the campaign, they...

Thank you for the input. I wouldn't really be taking away the players control of their character, just giving them an outlet to try something they might not normally think of, though i will be careful and gauge the situation and reaction.

Long story short, one of the pc has a grudge against Orcs, having watched their parents be murdered by them. They are not a Barbarian, and the player tends to always take the cautious approach. I would like to enact a roll from them to see if they keep from going into a rage when they see an...

Hi. I'm fairly new to DnD, I've played some Warhammer 40k, and a little of Pathfinders, but never could get into a group willing to teach me for DnD. Now, I have the 5e phg, and a group of friends who are also DnD virgins, so I'm taking up the mantle of GM as we learn. I'm very likely to have a...
