You’re assuming Range is synonymous with Area. They aren’t. Earth Tremor’s radius is its area of effect because it emanates from you...

I would hate it if the game was exclusivly tested by power gamers and I think 5E great popularity precisely came from the fact it was not.

It’s a very good point about verticality. If you play on Foundry there is the facility to use dual level tokens. I’ll probably be...

It varies a lot. Some encounters are very self-contained, others are in larger areas. Even in places that are one large area, like the...

Would you have the PCs set up a camp? I quite like the idea of a semi mobile group joining them. A bit like a wandering bastion. Could...
