Yeah, sometimes, depending on the story. I usually run my dungeons very dynamically, so it's not that uncommon that a group of organized bad guys just go wave after wave against my players. Like a time they tried to infiltrate a keep, but unfortunately sounded every alarm. That was about 60-70...

At our table, continuously casting cantrips for more than a minute or so would gain you a level of exhaustion. As would extremely long battles (more than 5 minutes of continuous fighting) We also use the houserule of gaining an exhaustion level when dropped to 0 HP

That is certainly something I am considering playing with. I'll try it after I test my previous idea!

I'm still not 100% sure yet, but I'll start with something along the lines of 5 casts per short rest, and go from there. One of my players did some math work, and he arrived at the following conclusions: 1. given that we usually have 5 to 7 encounters a day, lasting usually between 3-4 rounds...

On a side note, while we are all gamers, we ABSOLUTELY HATE anything too gamist, or anything pop culture/ gamer culture related for the matter, when playing D&D. Just wanted to add that. Cheers!

Thanks again for the feedback, guys! We are certainly a peculiar group. We are all family members - myself (DM), my other 2 brothers and 2 cousins. We are the exact same group since we started playing regularly in 2000. Our tastes are very much alike, and we were inspired by Gandalf, Conan, the...

Yes. In fact, rolling initiative every round was the standard. Speed factor was optional, although most people I know used it.

I did it already! Never had the chance to thank you enough! Cheers!

We began using the speed factor rules in our PS campaign. We liked a lot, not so much because of the speed factor per se (it just adds another layer of complexity to the game, and it's boring as hell to keep track of, specially for the DM, let alone it being not much balanced, IMO), but the...

Thanks for all the excellent replies! I think I need to clarify some points: we don't have so much problem with the possible exploits of cantrips because they are at will abilities (like the incinerator Fire Bolt case presented above). I am fortunate enough to have very reasonable players...

Greetings! I am curently DMing a Planescape campaign to my 4 players. They have a tiefling Warlock, an elven Wizard, a dwarf Cleric and a human Paladin. We originally started the campaign back in 2014, using the old 2e rules. When 2015 came, we decided to try and convert it to 5e, and it worked...
