No film ever makes a profit. That's Hollywood law.

Those of a sufficient age should read Elliot Kay's short story Days of High Adventure. If you can find the original, so much the better. Neither are PG so I won't give a link, but it's centred around D&D, involves wizards good and evil and a dragon, and the hook is one that will appeal. And...

Your sample PC has better than average stats and better than average armour and a magic weapon and higher than average HP and has DR 3. So I'm not surprised that the CR is higher.

I'm afraid not. Sorry. I've just been looking through the index and nothing registered.

A tweak if I may: no noble would leave their signet ring as payment, so likely Desphina stole it. This plot sounds like a reverse of the background to an adventure in Dungeon where an evil archmage went into voluntary exile to raise an evil prince. It's totally awesome, BTW.

This was trivially fixed in 3E by using a standard progression table and making the classes give a +2 class bonus.

Looks like the Househunter is back!

How about romance? The BBEG is an immortal evil wizard-king, one of the last of his race. The PCs accidentally (?) discover a magically entrapped woman of the same race who can communicate with them. Naturally, he desires her, and tries to use the PCs' connection to her, so the PCs have to work...

I like the idea of a series of mini-campaigns. Possibly - but not necessarily - related. Maybe one per tier. That way you can have buy-in and commitment for 4-6 months rather than 2 years.

Take a look at Sepulchrave II's Chronicles of Wyre. It's not quite what you want because normal people are still normal levels but the PCs now contend with epic-level friends and foes and wield real influence.

Valhalla awaits! Such stories are what make roleplaying so fun and memorable.

Give them pre-generated characters. Get them up and running quickly.

Do they stack?

So the extra smite damage doesn't carry over?

The text says you cannot add your stat bonus unless it's negative, but what can you add? The weapon's plus? The weapon's special property damage (bane, flaming, thunder, etc)? Sneak Attack (or similar) dice? Radiant damage from Paladin?

I beg to differ: it's banned. :)

The Fighter seems to compare poorly with the Ranger and Barbarian unless you use Action Surge for an extra Attack action.

My notional Celestial Imperium of Oerth is a society of dragonborn and lizardfolk so use of herbivorous dinosaurs as beasts of burden is a given. Smaller raptors take the roles of cats, hunting dogs, rats, and the like, but the larger carnivores would have been restricted to the more...

TLDW: adventurers (vice military in the video) are more likely to choose a broadsword over a rapier because the rapier has big issues vs multiple opponents and is less likely to break. And three other reasons.
