    D&D 5E We are betting a LOT on the DMG.... will it deliver?

    It's going to be adequate. I pre-ordered it already, they've got my money. I'm satisfied with the PHB and MM so far, I don't expect the DMG to deviate significantly in quality. The books are gorgeous. Barring a handful of exceptionally crappy artwork, I think the books are total eyecandy. The...

    D&D 5E What Subclasses would you like to see?

    Hmm. I quite like it. The idea of being encouraged to swap between melee and ranged is quite nice and makes dagger throwing stand out compared to other ranged attack methods. I think it's still a bit behind the bow/xbow, because you're taking 2 feats instead of just Sharpshooter. You ignore...

    D&D 5E I got inspired by this picture. How do I flesh him out as the Big Bad?

    D&D 5E What Subclasses would you like to see?

    Rogue: Knife/Dagger thrower subclass. I want this. I need this. Back when I played 3.5 I remember jumping through so many hoops to make that concept work. I remember taking a Halfling Rogue Paragon class thing, following up with a dagger rogue PrC, then a dab of master thrower prc, and some...

    D&D 5E I got inspired by this picture. How do I flesh him out as the Big Bad?

    I'm going to build a couple versions of him and see which I like most. First up is the doppelganger warlock with the intellect devourer symbioses. Man, I get excited just thinking about that delicious combination. I'm thinking doppelganger warlock 14 so he can make thralls. Mechanically, wow...

    D&D 5E I got inspired by this picture. How do I flesh him out as the Big Bad?

    The picture in question. It's a character from Magic: The Gathering that I don't know too much of, he eats people's dreams or something cool like that. But I can't get the artwork out of my head. I want to make a Big Bad inspired by this. I see a creature that is a master of the mind...

    D&D 5E Sweet 4th level combat encounters in the jungles of Chult / ancient dwarven ruins?

    My previous thread about ancient dwarven guardians yielded some great suggestions. I wanted to expand on the idea and see if I could get some more suggestions. There are four PCs at 4th level. They have just landed at Port Nyranzaru on the northern tip of Chult. They must venture to Rune's...

    D&D 5E Need some good "guardian" monsters for a treasure vault (4th lvl group)

    Flameskull is a great idea but this homebrew is supposed to follow after Lost Mines of Phandelver. In fact, I'm aiming to publish this as a free module from levels 5 to ~7ish, if possible. Ugh, right?! My PCs have a knack for obliterating my big evil boss before I can do anything cool. The...

    D&D 5E Need some good "guardian" monsters for a treasure vault (4th lvl group)

    Just forge guardians. My initial idea was the dwarf clan put a security measure to make sure thieves couldn't break into their vault, or if they were under attack, their security would hold off any looters long enough for them to regroup and repel the invaders. It could be physical monsters...

    D&D 5E Need some good "guardian" monsters for a treasure vault (4th lvl group)

    Backstory: Rune's Hollow used to be the headquarters of the Thunderaxe clan, wild dwarves running a profitable business in the mountain ranges of Chult. Their treasure vault was stored safely here, a gathering of untold riches, with a powerful artifact called the Myststone as the cherry on top...

    Mid Level Blaster Options?

    Thanks for the link, I may look into it. Unfortunately since blasting is not very optimal, I can find almost no guides for optimizing such a goal, which is why I ask for advice here instead. Much easier to optimize with conjuration and the likes. Eschew Materials is there simply to give me a -1...

    Mid Level Blaster Options?

    Focused Specialist Evoker vs. Sorcerer boils down to this: - spell progression one level faster, a bonus feat, more spells known, and more skill points vs. - 3 more schools of magic and access to the best blaster spell (Wings of Flurry) at level 8 If I was making a level 8+ blaster, I'd...

    Spell Selection guides?

    I don't think they're overly harsh on damage spells. This is coming from a person who's favorite archetype is blaster caster. As others have said, there's two big problems with blasting: 1) melee hit harder and indefinitely 2) you could be doing better things 99% of the time (an exception being...

    Mid Level Blaster Options?

    I'm looking to make a sweet blaster build for an upcoming RHOD campaign. The DM is allowing basically all sources, so I expect to be with ToB melee and the likes, so I want to feel competent in my role. He has to perform well from levels 5-9 I believe. My roll is 15 15 13 11 11 10 I don't know...
