    D&D 5E DM campaign disputes.

    I think its fine for the DM to have multiple campaigns in a single world and having the things each group does have affects in the rest of the campaigns, that's cool, but he should definitly let you know about it because I think it falls under the Houserule umbrella. Waking up married to a...

    D&D 5E Easy Berserker Barbarian fix

    A save for exhaustion sounds pretty cool. Plus a Con saving throw is something you always do in every other aspect of the game where you might get a level of exhaustion (is there another example where you automatically gain a level in exhaustion in the game other then Frenzy?), so it makes...

    D&D 5E Smoke inhalation - when PCs do silly things in enclosed spaces

    I think a Con Save or be Poisoned is good enough. If they fail, once they're completely out of it for a minute give them another Con save to shake it off or else it'll take a Short Rest. If they're in an especially thick, black, nasty smoke (i.e. more then a smoke cloud) and they're coughing and...

    D&D 5E Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    I'd like to point out that if your friends are playing a prancing, lute-playing, bright-clothed, stalking-wearing, over-the-top-joking, whimpy, mood-killing Bard, it is 100% NOT 5e's fault. The portrait that 5e used to visually embody and imply what a Bard is supposed to be like (I.E. the half...

    D&D 5E Ranged party member keeps running off the map

    I think something you should remember to do is keep the fight dynamic for the sniper that's off the map by keeping the terrain interesting. Since he doesn't have the benefit of the natural dynamics of being in the actual battle you'll need to pick up the slack so it doesn't feel like he's...

    D&D 5E Berserker Barbarian good or needs fix? What Fix?

    Ya I feel you lol. 3/4 of my post is more adjacent thoughts rather then answering the question specifically. But I don't think getting rid of the Exhaustion is the right solution. It looks like some of the intent of the feature (Aside from giving Frenzy a cost) is to have a class that interacts...

    D&D 5E A Barbarian, A Ranger and a designer walk into a bar

    Maybe add one more level of Exhaustion so there's 7 and make it so you can't add your proficiency to Ability Checks. That way, at first, it only feels like a -2 to a fraction of your Ability Checks, Something that feels annoying but not crippling. Plus it's Thematic "You're too Tired to be...

    D&D 5E Berserker Barbarian good or needs fix? What Fix?

    I remember Mearls mention their approach to 'fixes' that was interesting. He mentioned that sometimes the real problem isn't the problem everyone is complaining about. That when a mechanic is pointed out as needing to be "fixed" (And they agree) the first thing they try to do is look at...

    D&D 5E Mike Mearls Twitter Poll: "The druid gets one of the following: Spellcasting | Shapeshifting | Animal companions. Choose."

    I just saw a youtube video where Mike specifically address Wild Shape during the play test. The October Survey Analysis showed that Wild Shape was the most disliked feature of the Druids, i think it was below 25%. The specific issues that they tried to address were: -- Not enough damage output...

    D&D 5E Good disadvantage for missing heart?

    Maybe he doesn't have to and/or doesn't enjoy eating, drinking, sleeping (No more Dreams) anymore. And make a flaw for him to hook onto, something like 'Can't enjoy the finer things in life.' So it makes him act a little bitter. Or better yet, go the opposite with the flaw, he still doesn't...

    D&D 5E Crawford on Stealth

    Wouldn't Reliable Talent nullify the -5 from Disadvantage from dim light or any other source of Disadvantage when using Passive Perception, or when using any other Skill Passively? So it should still be useful.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Feats for Races

    I like a lot of these Feats and how there's batches of them playing with different themes and angles. If nothing else I think they're heading in the right direction for the majority of these race feats. Using Feats to expand on already existing race features; with Bountiful Luck, Critter...

    D&D 5E Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    I think you can get what u want if u just change Tools from any three instruments of your choice, to simply any three tools of your choice. Also change Song of Rest to something like...idk...Art of Rest, or Trade in Rest, or Storytelling( Actually, Storytelling sounds really cool, i'd pick that...

    D&D 5E Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    I'm new to D&D and RPGs, so i've only seen 5 Bards in games: A guy from Critical Role who sings parodies of Pop songs when he gives out Inspiration. He's such a great singer, and his parody is so funny that everyone either joins in singing or laughs out loud. A girl from Rollplay west marshes...

    D&D 5E D&D Class Design Criticism

    I think you can get what you want if you accordion class, and subclass features, but leave Proficiency Bonus, HD, Spell progression, Extra attack, Sneak attack, and ASI the same. The basic 4 classes look interesting. Thief Rogue: 1st lvl - Expertise, Sneak attack,Thieves Cant, Cunning Action...

    D&D 5E Buffing the Champion Fighter

    With the idea of keeping things simple, keeping the Champion player engaged between his turns, and incentivizing melee, and making the Champion the obvious DPS sub-class. Why not give him Retaliation at 3rd lvl. It feels like it would be cool to have a sword and board Champion with protection...
