UA is a classic example of "darned if you do, darned if you don't" People want options, so they place unofficial playtest options out there, and then people complain there are too many options, even though they are unofficial, or the wrong unofficial options to playtest. All the while we see a...

I once played a little kobold named Kanibink who was kicked out of his tribe for being... colorful. At first, he tried to be a druid, but that wasn't all that exiting. But as fate would have it, being a lone kobold pleading for his life, an adventuring wizard took pity on him and invited to go...

I want to thank you for taking the time to give such a well-considered response. I feel as if I actually have been somewhat myopic in my outlook of the game as a whole and your solid trouncing has encouraged me to question some of my presumptions. To be honest, my attempt to be flippant and...

Thank you for agreeing with me, but I am at a loss as to why you think I haven't had wide exposure. I apologize, it was not my intention to claim all games were the same, but that the mechanics were more consistent across tables, as the system was designed to be. I fully agree with this...

There is nothing wrong with wanting to have more official rules so that there is something on which you can hang your hat. Having player focused games allowed the books to maintain a consistency across tables, and DMs had to work within that framework. Essentially, I see 3.5 and 4E as...

Let your players help you craft the plot of your game. During play, the PCS will give you all sorts of leads and ideas. Utilize their hopes, dreams, and fears to your advantage.

Has there been an elven presence in the campaign so far other than her? if not, you could throw her into an issue with the Elven court or whatever where she is supposed to know the ritualistic responses. When she doesnt, shes forced to reveal that she has been human all along, and only wore the...

I used it to by the 5e PH for my nephew. He will be thrilled. Thanks for the heads-up!

I only run homebrew games and setting canon is absolutely essential between campaigns and storylines.

You are the leader with the highest stats, wouldn't you think it would be appropriate for you to sacrifice yourself? There is nothing more honorable that offering yourself to save your friend. And since you're in the photo, there is a reasonably good chance the rest of the party will be able to...

Exactly this. As a DM I have appreciated how it has required spell casters to be more thoughtful about spell choice and strategy. Other than bounded accuracy, it its my favorite aspect of the new edition.

I think the concept of the idea you have is awesome, but in practice a little like trying to reinvent the wheel. is there a way you can modify the subclasses to better reflect what you wish to accomplish? For example changing Evocation Savant to include a line about adding half your level to the...

My current campaign will soon be introducing a time manipulation storyline so a modern interpretation of Chronomancy would be nice. I'll end up doing that myself, I'm sure. (I know there have been several others out there) Elementalist (I rather liked OAs Wu Jen take on this in 3.5) Truenamer...

Thank you for the kind words. it is encouraging. I have yet to see Dr Strange as of yet, but am looking forward to it now! I did find it. it has some really interesting ideas. thanks for the heads-up!

Of course! it's rather embarrassing that I did not so that in the first place. It is sometimes the most obvious which escapes our notice. Thank you. Yes! Thank you. That is much more elegant.

Greetings, In a few weeks, I will be bringing a time element to my games. As a part of this, I will also be introducing a monk order which has the ability, through enlightenment, to understand and manipulate the tapestry of time. I would like to share my concept for this Monk Archetype to...

I believe this is an excellent and elegant solution. Thank you for suggesting it.

Getting an opportunity attack on someone casting a spell or using a ranged weapon. No matter how often it comes up, someone always has to remind the rest of the table.

My current character is a Dex based Ancients paladin and she is an absolute blast. I took the Dueling fighting style, the Defensive Duelist feat, and possess a scimitar of speed. The combination of the scimitar and Divine Strike allows me to absolutely shred. And since I use an adamantine...

Aurumvorax Giff Phaerimm Saurial Time Dimensional I'd probably save the Phaerimm
