    D&D 5E Creating some undead themed spells for a PC

    See, that was my initial thought and thinking more like a 2nd level spell. But then others made it seem substantially weaker than it should be, but finally someone else is looking at things more like the tiers of play. Which means the spell is broken and needs adjusted. But what if it was 1...

    D&D 5E Creating some undead themed spells for a PC

    And now we're getting constructive with the idea. I can definitely get behind 1 at first level, 8 at 3rd and bump it to on par with a familiar. And the idea that it is on par, based on the 3rd level spell, with a 1st level spell (half of half of the 3rd level spell) and that it would be silly...

    D&D 5E Creating some undead themed spells for a PC

    See I agree and disagree with you. So, the purpose in the quoted post is to use already existing spells to establish a base line. We also already have find familiar and unseen servant at this level. This allows a weak summon of a neglegable cr at 1st level, and both of them have a a long time...

    D&D 5E Creating some undead themed spells for a PC

    Thanks for the input so far! Now I'm breaking down each of the undead in 5e and wanted to see what you think of this piece for Flameskulls Flame Skulls A flame skull is composed of the skull of a deceased spellcaster, brought back to life to act as a magical guardian. As a default it follows...

    D&D 5E Creating some undead themed spells for a PC

    So, my fiancee likes the idea of summoning undead and is playing a Necromancer Wizard. Honestly 5e is not kind to this play style so I'm reskinning a few spells for her (Evards Black Tentacles as skeletal hands and a necromancy spell). Regrettably the whole horde aspect of older editions is and...

    D&D 5E How small could Faerûn be?

    I aim to shrink it down and use it as a part of my own world. As it stands it is pretty huge and could definitely be trimmed up so I'm looking for a size where I shouldn't shrink it to smaller than that size. Then just find a happy medium in between

    D&D 5E How small could Faerûn be?

    How small could Faerûn be? I know roughly how large it is, however from the maps it looks way too big, 400 mile wide forests that look comparibly dinky. So how small could it be made and still be realistic? While I don't think it can handle being the size of the UK, maybe all of Europe?

    Handling secret doors and other hidden things on a digital gaming surface

    When I build my D&D table I am highly considering using a TV inside the gaming table. But the issue is, how do I hide things? Most maps I know of have hidden areas shown in the D&D books and on online map generators.

    D&D 5E Homebrew Nightshades

    Alright, the nightwave so far has been updated with a few relatively minor changes. HP and AC were changed Light Aversion was swapped with Sunlight Vulnerability And many of its actions have been tweeked. I think this should make a noteworthy difference

    D&D 5E Homebrew Nightshades

    Alright, I had wanted to do some work on them tomorrow but it looks like I'll be working my second job tomorrow and won't be able to update anything yet. As it stands I am considering a mass cure undead 1/short rest, and dropping the dim light/darkness requirement of Desecration Aura, instead...

    D&D 5E Homebrew Nightshades

    I actually had no intention on giving legendary actions to these nightshades, but am working on others for my own use which will have them. Now, initially they had a lot of negative level abilities which aren't really a thing anymore and the void there is problematic, so I filled in with some...

    D&D 5E Homebrew Nightshades

    Alright, but where do they need beefing up? I must be overvaluing constant advantage on saves and attacks in dim light and darkness, as well as multiple immunities and resistances. As it stands I dropped AC and HP heavily to mitigate those, as well as reduced potential damage output as all...

    D&D 5E Homebrew Nightshades

    Attempt 2. They have increased HP and AC, generally do more damage per round, amd the math should all be correct. Also, the Light Aversion has been replaced with simple Sunlight Vulnerability. Meaning that in Bright Light they recieve neither advantage or disadvantage, which is accurate to the...
