Here it is said that SCAG cantrips now costume the weapon, do you agree with that interpretation? That change would make them almost useless...

That is great, thanks! One think I'm not understanding is smite calculation for Paladins. I understood that you average the smites for the amount of combat rounds, but by changing Paladin levels I see no change on damage, neither by changing # of combat rounds per day. Also, when I add a second...

Hi! Only recently I started to read about Eberron, and while I have read a lot since the Wayfinder’s Guide, I still sometimes mix up the main Eberron villains: The Overlords, the Daelkyr and the Dreaming Dark. From a DM perspective, what are the main differences between them? Why would you...

Hi! My normal D&D5e campaign is in an hiatus, and we are planning what to do until we can get back to it. One idea was to play some one-shots from other systems so we can get to know something different. And so I ask: for each system you know (and think is worthy being played), what would be a...

I’m exactly at the same boat as you. I haven’t played 4E and just heard bad things, but decided to give a try reading the books. My position at the moment is that it is a great RPG, but as you said, it breaks so many conventions from D&D that I totally understand why it is so hated. Had it...

Just this last week I was thinking that maybe I should give 4e a chance, after listening to “Edition Wars” on the Tome Show Podcast. From what I could read, the Essentials line is a good place to start (even though some of the books are now very rare). But is it too dumbed down? Or just...

I have been using Lion's Den "Game Master 5" to manage my campaign. It has iOS and Android versions.

One thing you can do for this character is either to multiclass him away from rogue after getting expertise to something that you find more fitting, or even to just skip the rogue class altogether, as you can get the thieves tools proficiency from another source. Besides being good with locks...

I have never played on AL (it's not available at my country), but I had an eye on getting the Eberron AL Adventure on the dmsguild as soon as I learnt about it. As of now, I haven't purchased it yet, but it has received very poor reviews. I am pondering in getting the "Curtain Call" adventure...

Maybe you are overthinking this "hot square" thing? If the fighter is on a very narrow passage, or right in front of the door, so that nothing can pass to hit the wizard, then the player just has to say "I stand in front of the door" and just like that no monster can get to melee range of the...

Directly it doesn’t. But indirectly your Dex is already accounted for at the attack roll. Having 20 dex raises the difficulty for the roll (your AC) and thus makes the roll with disadvantage even more prone to failure. For example, attack with no bonus vs for with no armor: With dex 2, AC is 6...

I really liked your ideas! It looks similar to how Numenera handles distances too. Just some observations: 1) having no limits to how many engaged enemies you can have is a bit weird to me... there should be a limit, either fixed or dependent on class and/or size. 2) there is no way to break an...

I don’t know if it appears somewhere else, but it definetly appears at the DCC core book (page 23)

The company of the Dancing Dragon (after using "Otto's irresistible dance" several times on the dragons of HotDQ/RoT).

It surely isn't tricky, I just found it funny that the book have rules for their half-sons but not for the sea elves themselves.
