Well, as they noted, the demons tend to emphasize a particular trait, whether it's rage, self-deception, greed, etc. The Far Realm is pure madness; it doesn't make sense, because it's not from our reality.

Cap, I think you're overestimating the effects of GWM, SS, and PM in comparison to other feat and fighting style combos. Here are some examples: * the charismatic swashbuckler, fighting with a rapier and a cape - Take the Defense or Dueling fighting style, and Defensive Duelist feat or the...

Comprehend Languages, although that depends on how detailed a world your DM has created. Detect Magic is good, too. Expeditious Retreat, even though it's concentration, because having Dash every round makes you hard to pin down. Feather Fall. Grease every round could create some hilarious...

He's multi-functional. He can use his twin rapiers, or pick up a great axe and be as effective. The point was that was HIS choice as a player, to be multi-functional. As opposed to my example of the player who focused on ranged attacks, this guy wanted to be effective with any melee weapon...

Yes, we know that. The combination allowed him to use the bonus action for his attack if he didn't get a crit or reduce to zero. He is an 11th level fighter, with 3 attacks.

Cap, I see your point about feats locking in fighters (and to a certain extent, other classes; Defensive Duelist, Dual Wielder, Elemental Adept, and Medium Armor Master come to mind) to certain ways of playing. A GWM fighter will not take a magic longsword as first choice, of course, because...

Cap, My group has played various campaigns at low and high levels. We've noticed the same things you have, although from different perspectives. Our melee fighters emphasize Dex or Ranged attacks at higher levels. Ranged can be as deadly as Melee, when the fighter takes Archery and Crossbow...

A spell scroll contains a cantrip or 1st through 9th level spell inscribed upon it. "A spell scroll bears the words of a single spell, written in a mystical cipher." (p 200, DMG). Further: "If the spell is on your class's spell list you can use an action to read the scroll and cast its spell...

Which issue is this in?

But aren't a lot of those side effects also associated with Adventuring?

Or do Wedding Crashers, D&D-style. Who knows what kind of hot demonic bridesmaids she's going to have? Plus all those single succubi looking for a man in their lives...

Here's another thing my group has noticed. It depends on how long you plan on playing your character for. When you multiclass, you gain short-term benefits at the expense of greater power later on. If you know the campaign isn't going from 1-20 (or you know from experience that your group...

TOTALLY stealing this idea for my current campaign!

So what did you end up doing to calculate encounter XP? My thought would be to wait until AFTER the combat was over and see how the PCs attacked the building. Was it one massive fight? Successive waves? Were they smart and broke it up into smaller encounters? Of course, the total XP is the...

Our group was talking about fiddling with the attunement rules, so I finally broke down and did a quick-and-dirty analysis of the magic items in the DMG: - 329 total magic items (includes splitting out the +1/+2/+3 versions of items) - 50 are consumable, leaving 279 permanent items - 167 of...

Thedren eases into the trees, his coloration and clothing blending naturally into foliage. His bo staff is held at ready, as he awaits the results of Nemaer's investigations. Hide check (Mask of the Wild, Stealth @ 1d20+3) - [roll0]

Thedren stood quietly in the back of the room, politely refusing the tea the Mayor's daughter offered, though with a warm smile. He watched the assorted individuals with a keen eye, taking in the details of their armament and gear. They all seemed to be capable sorts, able to handle...

Thedren nodded. "We are. The fortress holds a great many secrets, and may provide clues as to the great evil the heroes sought to eliminate on their failed expedition. The cause of the Light may be advanced by learning those secrets." He gestured back at the inn. "We are currently taking a...

"Yes, Laron. This expedition certainly is a propitious event. We can learn more about these heroes and the evil they were to face on their failed campaign. Perhaps this will give us clues as to where to seek the evil threatening the land." He smiled over at Laron. "And you can gain material...

Questions for the DM and Skarsgard: DM: What does the holy symbol of the Healing Light look like? Skarsgard: Does Herger openly wear his? If so, then Thedren and Laron should recognize him as a member of the order. I can use that in my next post to get Laron and Thedren to introduce...
