Title says it all. Can the bard subclass from Xanathar's use the blade flourish feature with a bow? RAW seems to support it, but RAI seems a bit more iffy. Thoughts?

As a DM reading through the Curse of Strahd once more, I noticed just how often I'm reading the phrase "Is no fun, is no Blinksky." Since CoS is a big sandbox, why not throw in the staple of a sandbox style video game: the epic scale collection side quest. The Blinksky toys would be the perfect...

This I like and it would help alleviate my worries about a possible lack of exploration in the random reading. My players are very much completionists and would love tracking down more items. Which items from the DMG did you use or how did you pick them?

I'm about to start DMing Curse of Strahd for the first time with my group and I love the fortune telling aspect of the module. I have seen a few people talking about some of the possible outcomes being lackluster or underwhelming though (finding one of the relics in Madame Eva's camp for...

First off, thanks for all the input guys! Plaguescarred I guess I should have been more clear. I meant all d20 rolls. My PC's love to toss their d20s for no reason. Mostly when they get excited. As in "I take the hide action *rolls d20*" Me: Your in the middle of the street on a sunny day..."...

Hey guys, I'm running a campaign and my table has come up with a few guidelines to keep the sessions running smoothly. Some of these came about from specific instances of trouble that just needed to be rectified and prevented in the future and some came from othe DMs' tips. I wanted to hear what...

I'm thinking about trying out a Smooth Talking character build during my next campaign. I want him to be able to persuade or decive his way out of just about any situation. The DM has allowed just about any unearthed arcana. My questions are, have any of you ever created a character like this...

Hello everyone! I am about to start running Curse of Strahd with my group and I wanted to know how other DMs deal with the Darkvision racial trait in a gothic setting like CoS. Darkness plays a huge roll in creating tension and fear of the unknown. Darkvision really seems to undermine the...

Why would I need to stop concentrating on VT just to cast VT again before I can touch them? The spell lasts 1 minute.

If I am already concentrating on Vampiric Touch and then an enemy moves out of range provoking an Opportunity Attack, can I make a melee spell attack against them? Here's the scenario: group is fighting a band of orcs. My turn: I cast Vampiric Touch and walk into the fray. I stop right next to...

My group is getting ready to start a new campaign and I wanna do something different. I normally try to make my characters as efficient as possible, this time I want to do something unique and just a bit silly. That being said, I still want to be pretty awesome in combat and not gimp the rest of...

Hello fellow gamers! So, I've got a bit of an issue with my players and need some feedback/advice. I had a session recently with my 5e group and there was a TPK. That's not the issue (why have hp if there's no chance of death?), the issue is how my players reacted to it. They walked into a...
