    D&D 5E New game for me. Is this acceptable?

    If I were DMing, I'd allow a +0 self loading hand crossbow for a fifth level character. But then again, I still hand out bonus xp for written and submitted character backstories.

    Venting on Sorcerer build

    Yeah, as a power level thing, weapon proficiency is fairly weak in terms of power, everyone who really benefits from proficiency in a weapon already gets it. For sorcs that only ever get 1 attack, light crossbows are pretty great. Heavy might be better, sure, but not by a whole lot. In my...

    Venting on Sorcerer build

    Adventurers are supposed to be special. In the hands of an adventurer, or their antagonists, proficiency with a longsword is not just the knowledge that you're supposed to put the pointy end in your enemies, but rather that you spent the years mastering the weapon to the point you can actually...

    Nature's Remedy: 5E Herbalism

    Unfortunate, no download link. That doesn't seem to be working as intended. Having to wait two weeks will be annoying.

    D&D 5E Hit Point Recovery Too Generous

    Hit points are best viewed as an abstraction for me, they are plot armor, destiny, or as I prefer "John Mcclane points". A person is a person with a similar amount of capacity to take physical harm, give or take size and pain tolerance. What sets aside our heroes, their allies and their foes...

    D&D 5E Druids + necromancy: Help me make it make sense!

    The Shadow Druids come instantly to mind, but for your situation it sounds like you want an Anti-Druid. In the same manner that fallen paladins appeal to the evil powers and they take glee from granting them new and terrifying abilities (all the better for evil-ing) traditional powers...

    D&D 5E What awesome thing happened in your game recently?

    A routine teleportation circle activation went horribly wrong for the person using it, thanks to some PC tampering. The NPC's final destination is unknown at this time, but they left behind their skin, lungs, all the bones of their legs, and all their bone marrow. It is the general consensus...

    Armor as Damage Reduction (how to make it work for you)

    Forgive my ignorance, but would this style not lend itself better to electronic execution than with dice and a pencil? That would allow you to more effectively add in all matter of variables such as armor resistances to each weapon type, as well as allowing you to implement a bell curve and...

    Planescape/Star*Drive: Renaissance (Updated 15 December 2003)

    First off let me say that I am new here and and am unaware of any protocol on story time boards. If I commit some blunder please forgive my ignorance. Over on the wizards boards I saw Star*Drive and jumped on the link in your sig. I must say I am quite impressed. Your characters are quite...
