My son is having fun playing his 2014+Tasha's Beastmaster. His bear has its own mini and everything. It goes down sometimes, but since it scales with levels, it's up to 65 or 70hp and AC 17 at this point. He can also use its bonus action to have it attack twice for 1d8+7ish (don't recall)...

Hurray!

I might want to add THP on too. A lot of the monodrones, duodrones, etc. have sub-Fireball level HP if I recall correctly.

The average on a d20 is 10.5. Half of the rolls should be 10, and half of them should be 11. Perhaps the Modrons get the 11s and their opponents get the 10s? It's a slight edge while maintaining something approaching statistical fairness.

That does sound fun. My other problem with the Modrons is that they are all very low CR in the MM.

There was a great "how to do an epilogue" discussion about 4 years ago that I used to help shape the ending of Against the Idol of the Sun, but I don't remember enough details to find it. Include a Fallout-2 style ending recap where you give a few details about what happened to all the major...

Eh, probably not. The only WOTC-written adventure I've ever played is RHOD. I may start him with a few short one-shots from the DM's Guild, but he and his little brother have been doing their own adventures together for several years, including a long running "button quest" with buttons, their...

Is that due to adult content (language/concepts), or just length?

Thanks everyone. It sounds like Justin Alexander's book is going to be the way to go.

If your 11 year old wanted to be a DM, what is the one best resource you would point that kid to? I know there are several books out there. There are also a number of websites, although some (Angry DM) are not child appropriate. I'm specifically wanting something that covers the basics of...

Here's how my dragon encounter went. This is in my Baldur's Gate II game. The party is 14th level: Cormak (storm cleric), Ludwig (arcane trickster), Mergand (Bhaalspawn sorcerer; crits on 19-20, heals with magical kills, etc.), and Korgan (13th level Champion fighter). They have a lot of...

I've never had the time or interest in painted minis... I use minis for my players and flat tokens (Dice of Rolling/Etsy) for enemies. I get tempted to pick up enemies from time to time, but I never use just ONE mind flayer - then I need a bunch, and then I need more, etc... I will confine my...

Druids basically already have the "spellcaster of the natural elements" covered. At mid to high levels they give up the plant and animal focus for "force of nature" blasting. They have fog, storm, wind, tornado, firestorm, several mediocre-to-bad earth attack spells (creating difficult terrain...

Those are pretty dire, and not in a good way. It seems like at some point there would be a market for a computer-controlled machine able to paint minis according to a program. Combine a 3D printer with inkjet technology not made by HP or Canon, and some sensors. Or do whatever Heroforge does...

Pretty much this, except I skipped the graph paper. My Against the Idol of the Sun had Aarakocra as the main enemies and a lot of flying boats. Everything is 5' cubes, with a "floor" of the top of the jungle canopy typically 20' below the fixed cruising height of the flying boats. The use of...
