    Personal house rules

    Why? In my own setting I point out to the players that, while they can track their wealth the way it is presented in the PHB, the reality is that their character use several pieces. To make things more fun the units do not break down in a decimal manner. And to make matters more fun different...

    Help needed badly - Bard, College of Shadows subclass

    I need help coming up with power for a College of Shadows subclass for the bard. The concept is a bard that works in trading secrets - as a kit joke from the Bard's Handbook went: "The name is Bard. James Bard." So, just as the College of Valor leans towards martial activities, and the College...

    Need Help with a 5e D&D Conversion!

    Mythic Theurge was a glaring patch class. It won't be missed. Also, you need to re-read the multiclassing rules of 5e, they are now fairly forgiving for caster multiclasses.

    The Magic of Dusk - Magic The Gathering inspired setting.

    Class and subclass specific rules for the setting are coming, but I'll likely handle them in a separate thread.

    Rewriting Magic Circle

    3 The original spell didn't answer this - I'm hoping the DMG addresses it. If it doesn't it's something that needs to be addressed for all warding abjurations as a group, not just this spell by itself. After all, your questions can be pointed at Antilife Shell or any one of the other wards in...

    D&D 5E Is this a reasonable change to planeshift?

    Normally Planeshift lets you go to any place in any plane. The scope of the spell is reduced - the planes you can go to depend on the plane you are on. From the material plane you can go any of the five outer planes. From an outer plane you can only go to 2 other outer planes and the material...

    Rewriting Magic Circle

    I found myself completely rewriting Magic Circle for my setting with the warding being based on alignment. Spells and creatures are alignment. I added a new restriction to it since it can affect native creatures in the hopes it can stay at 3rd level. Magic Circle 3rd level valran abjuration...

    Fireworks Cantrip

    Wouldn't that fall under the heading of "common sense"? A fireworks explosion at night can be seen for miles. Even in the day it should be visible for a couple miles. I have the line on how the spell is used to keep players and DM's from scratching their heads about how low the damage is.

    Fireworks Cantrip

    I think this is balanced. It is outclassed by other spells in everything but range. It has a very unusual trait for a cantrip in that it can be changed to a proper spell. Snapdragon Fireworks Shunran Evocation Cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 500 feet Components: V, S Duration...

    D&D 5E Is this a reasonable change to planeshift?

    The setting cosmology is quite clear to them. They've been to all the planes during the Pathfinder game that went up to 18th level over 3 years.

    D&D 5E Is this a reasonable change to planeshift?

    Is the following a reasonable setting specific change to Planeshift? There are five planes in the cosmology of Carthasana that this spell can shift you to. In order to journey to a plane you must have a link to it. You can shift to a plane that you have major access to its magic, and if your...

    A Death spell in 5e

    This is a crack at a balanced death spell in 5e that happens to have a lot of flavor. Smother 6th level Sodran enchantment Casting time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute You choose a creature in range that must breathe to live that you can see...

    The Magic of Dusk - Magic The Gathering inspired setting.

    Yeah, this is going to work. Let's look at just the first level spells. Abora (Green): Minor - Charm Person, Detect Poison and Disease, Expeditious Retreat, Fog Cloud, Hail of Thorns, Longstrider. Major - Animal Friendship, Ensnaring Strike, Entangle, Goodberry, Hunter's Mark, Speak with...

    D&D 5E Spell Durations

    RAW they don't end. There are flavor reasons for them to end unless they've become explicitly permanent (certain wards and created magic items). I'm inclined to rule that if the caster can dismiss the spell, knocking him out ends such a spell. If the spell is out of the caster's control then...

    How much damage to a single target is fair at 3rd level?

    Fair enough. Here is a "more interesting" revision. Volley of Boulders 9th level shunran transmutation Casting time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute You enchant up to ten stones so that when they are thrown they will change size to become...

    How much damage to a single target is fair at 3rd level?

    The caster may throw the stones (Magic attack bonus), or hand them off to be thrown by others (Strength attack), or they can be shot from a sling (Dexterity attack).
