    D&D 5E Clarification on the UA Swashbuckler

    Thanks! It was wery useful. Maybe instead of a subclass of the swashbuckler I will made a subclass of the warrior. Signature feature: Each round that you declare the attack action, before rolling, you can choose if you whant to make the normal number of attacks following the normal rules or...

    D&D 5E Clarification on the UA Swashbuckler

    Hi, I need some help interpreting the Rakish Audacity entry (3rd level). The first time I read it, I had expectations and maybe that blind me to a more wide (or unbiased) interpretation. Furthermore I'm not a native speaker and maybe I misinterpreted someting. To the point... When it says...

    D&D 5E Phantom Steed duration beyond damage.

    I find myself in agreement with you. The caster do have a minute after the horse take damage. However... a dead phantom steed will not be a really good transport in that minute, and a 'Dispel magic' spell will puff away the steed. That is how I interpret this spell, I'm a DM, so you have one (of...

    D&D 5E What non-combat abilities should fighters have?

    I'm greatly convinced that the fighter need something out of combat, and that subclasses are the place for it. But, while talking of old editions, do not forget a really powerful feature that they had and was stripped (apart from barony). They where the masters of Saving Throws. A high level...

    D&D 5E Ritual components?

    Try components that require a little immagination on players' part and require a little adventure to procure. The shout of a mute children. The hand of an innocent murderer. The tear of a fire elemental. and so on...

    D&D 5E Feelings on Ranged Damage

    Just an idea. When a ranged character attack in his turn, simply put all the damage of all attacks and talents, skills, etc.. together and count (and roleplay) the total as if it's the result of a single shot. Some saved ammunitions do not change the game but you can have a better feeling for...

    D&D 5E Basing Casting Stat on archetype & starting Half-Caster progression at 3rd level

    Not all classes choose at the 3rd level. 2° Level is a good point too.

    D&D 5E Interesting Warlocks, particularly blade pact with an emphasis on INTERESTING

    I've played two warlocks so far: A fey/nature chainlock and a fiendish manipulator bladelock. Both singular class and both a blast to play. - The first one was an even maiden with a fey patron and a pseudo-dragon familiar. The theme was: hunter-ranger with a nature fey patron The eldritch blast...

    D&D 5E Know what spell I hate?

    I like the general idea, but maybe a limit in the level of the non-wizard spells you can cast/put in the book will not be a bad idea. Even if just to put out 9th or 8th level spells.

    Removing The Stat Penaly on Volo's Guide Orcs

    Or cap the Int at 18 (20-2) but do not give an actual stat malus. Those stats and modifiers are for player's characters, they are exceptional individuals of the chosen race. You have simply to take into consideration the malus when you create orc npc

    D&D 5E Paladinlock build advice

    In my party there is a Dwarf Vengeance paladin/Infernal Warlock (tome). He is the one that travel to 'make right' the grudges his clan has in the Tome of Grudges. He started paladin and then become warlock when he ask the ancestors spirits for help to complete a really hard mission (and a little...

    Critique my House Rules

    Nothing gamebreaking in my opinion. Some of the changes you made make sense in my campaign too. Only exception is the -4 Con and the imbalance that create (as more then one person already pointed out). How about... no CON modifier but the small races have to take the HD of the next lower size...

    D&D 5E The Barbarian Totem Warrior is a good Werebeast?

    All feats and racial traits will go away when in lycanthrope form. My idea is that of a classic curse. The character will transform on the full moon nights with a really bad case of 'wants to hunt'. Maybe also when really stressed. In time he can try to get rid of the curse (Yai! Quest) or...

    D&D 5E The Barbarian Totem Warrior is a good Werebeast?

    Not too long ago my players met a bunch of private guards. Those where the custodians of a magic school in a big city full of mages (where if you have no magic at all you are a servant or a slave) and they where all werebeasts (the school was closed at night). It was not a combat encounter...

    Custom Spell: Perfect Endurance

    I think that 4th-5th level are to be considered only if the spell casting time is changed to 1 round, if the caster has to plan beforehand. But as a reaction spell? Sixth or more in my opinion (probably shoud be more). It's not a simple damage absorber, it's total immunity from anything (except...
