    D&D 5E Point buy or Dice?

    I understand that the point buy system does have the advantage of making things even for the party, but I disagree that if one person has better stats than the rest of the party that he will shine, you can counteract your stats with race, class and feat options (if feats are allowed in your...

    D&D 5E Point buy or Dice?

    I've had situations like that where in a group I was DMing one character rolled way worse than the others, I told him "give the character a chance, play his strengths", once he picked his race and class, he actually wound up being the leader of the group because he used everything he had more...

    D&D 5E Point buy or Dice?

    I love the dice roll, whether I'm playing or whether I'm DMing, it adds some cool curve balls, I don't like point buy because in life, we don't get to pick out bodies, and it seems cheap to me and it restricts characters from developing cool attributes, I love picking up my dice and giving six...

    D&D 5E Do You Purposely Split Up the Party?

    I do split up the party, not frequently though, the most severe split was actually in a different game system. I was running a Rifts campaign and the party decided to challenge a god, he's alignment allowed them to survive, they got decimated in a few rounds and he let them live but teleported...

    D&D 5E What is Over-Powered?

    I agree that it isn't a good measure of overpowered, but as a DM it is important to recognize game features that you and the players dislike and homebrew the hell out of it until you get the most enjoyable game possible, and I think that is what SirAntoine was trying to express. It's a really...

    D&D 5E What is Over-Powered?

    By no means am I suggesting it should be every encounter, I mean when you want to have a critical battle in story line moments, that's how I do it, I make sure that the enemies are tailored to the parties strengths, in a campaign I was a player in the DM got tired of us dominating all the...

    D&D 5E What is Over-Powered?

    I don't feel like the first situation and the second situation have a different solution, I deal with these situations by picking monsters/enemies that each have the ability to really mess with at least one of the party members, like if I'm dming a party of five 3rd level characters that has...

    D&D 5E Magic Items in the campaign

    I plan on making a short (now complete) list of all the items by rarity, then making a random roll chart for the number of items and which items they have in stock at any random village (the die rolled for quantity/rarity) determined by size of the town/city. I will make sure I post these...

    D&D 5E Magic Items in the campaign

    See, I haven't DMed with the 5E system yet, I was finishing a different campaign on another system before I was willing to take on another campaign, but I have played 5E and the inability to buy say a Folding Boat or Hewards Handy Haversack kinda bums me out, like the handy haversack in the old...

    D&D 5E Magic Items in the campaign

    I like that system, I feel like this is a trickier balance than in previous systems but that by saying less is more it has given greater freedom for the GM to have a happy group.

    D&D 5E Magic Items in the campaign

    They can still be found in the world but the need for a magic weapon is far less felt than it was in previous editions. So I don't feel like I will be creating a disadvantageous position for the tanks. But selling the weapons and armour due to their rarity can be extremely profitable.
