Quick update to say we are open to 1 new player joining the party

Zombies in Dumathoin's Temple, Level 3 party of 6+

Speaking for my N of 1 nephew, they use mostly online video clips or wild imagination. Oh, there's this cool monster that's like a shark but on land, I saw it on YouTube. I want to do the monster from the Back Rooms. In Minecraft, zombies are like this... can you do that in D&D? What if a dragon...

Wand of Gulthias wand, uncommon Appearing as a cluster of tightly bound dark vines that ever so slowly writhe when touched by a living creature, this wand grants its wielder the ability to cast thorn whip at will, using their character level as the level of the cantrip. However, a DC 15 Wisdom...

Easy. We all know who wears the tights in the party.

Yes, I did a small version of that back in AD&D Planescape. I had two players (very rarely a third or fourth around holidays), one running a Sensate, the other wasn't faction aligned. I focused on a little adventure to run some faction possibilities by the unaligned PC's player... What is...

Croaking Foes of Ribbity Doom No, seriously, D&D has LOTS of frog monsters!

@Stalker0 Funnily enough, back in the AD&D2e Planewalker's Handbook where "Rogue Modrons" were first introduced as a PC race, there was an (optional?) rule that they used a static initiative score, a lot like your "take 10" idea, just for initiative.

One of the things I often do with the planes is first get a grasp on how I'm imagining that plane for the purposes of my session/campaign in which I'm using it. For example (see attached) when I was developing Qaybar, City of the Jann (with @Celebrim 's extensive help filling the city with...

Oh yes, those spells have always been extremely swingy throughout D&D's history. Less impactful in the old school days, maybe, because combat turns were shorter and the comedy of errors seemed to be embraced in the chaos. I do think D&D's spell design – not the system, but the specific language...

They’re interesting ideas with potential for sure! For Sorcerers specifically, I highly encourage reading the 2014 PHB flavor text on them. It’s very good writing and evocative of what I think the class should be. I think the point system is ok, but it’s sort of a neutral mechanic. Read that...

Hah, and they say it's a "horror" adventure. ;) @Aethmud I think with the massive distraction you can automatically pull the hitch on one sled (remember: 3 total sleds, one of which is already unhitched). However, a DC 10 Deception check is necessary to unhitch BOTH of the other sleds, and...

I’ve interpreted it that the familiar itself chooses how and where it appears, not the caster. Can’t speak to rules intent, but the spell language is distinct from other summoning spells - no “of your choice”, no “unoccupied space that you can see”, etc. This prevents any abuse and encourages...
