I guess the 20d6 max is for creatures that would actually survive a fall for that magnitude, not for something that the PCs should be able to exploit.

1st rule of D&D: the DM has final say on everything and can supersede any rule.

I was pretty disappointed running it too. I too was expecting the same type of setting 2e had. The beginning was pretty hard fir the players, but they found the Holy Symbol in the gypsy camp, which made undead encounters laughable early on. When the book came out, WotC didn't know that the...

The way to fix it is, Frenzy gives you an extra attack per round, not as a bonus action. This way, it works with PAM and GWM.

My 1st barbarian was a berserker. I actually didn't use it much, mainly because I was playing AL, and most fights didn't last long enough for me to even waste a rage over. But when I dod rage, I would use frenzy at least 1/day.

Thanks for the heads up. I just bought 2

Sure, ask them to make a list of the items they would like to find within the campaign, and then you can decide when, where and how they aquire them. There's nothing I hate more than getting a bunch of magic items no one wants or can use. The other route a DM could go, is have some sort of...

We don't have enough Yugoloths. I want to see the Altroloths and other Archdevils. What they need to do is remake the Planescape setting, for high level characters only this time.

It seems like at high levels, there really isn't a winning scenario. A lot of times, if the fight seems like it will be easy, a lot of players won't use resources anyway. I was thinking of maybe running a campaign where you only get HP back when you spend HD, but give them all their HD back when...

I don't think I've ever played with 6-8 encounters in a single session, let alone an adventuring day. But I do agree that based off thst, encounters need to be tougher, especially at higher levels. At some point, low level thugs and goblins will know to stay clear of the PCs, and they will only...

Why do you care about their stats? You have to remember, adventurers aren't comment people, they are exceptional. Sure it could be great of someone wanted to play someone with a low constitution and role play that out, but it becomes problematic and not fun if you try and railroad the players...

I would say, use the Vroloka(I think that's how you spell it) race from 4th edition as a template. They have more already ready for use. Maybe use some of their more powerful racial abilities as a feat package, or maybe they just don't get them at all for game balance.

I understand that, but that's actually wrong. You can do just as much damage stabbing someone with a dart as you can with throwing it. Also l, a dart does not count as or use ammunition. Those are 2 distinct qualities of real ranged weapons. You can make the argument that darts are in the ranged...

The reason darts have the finesse property, is because they are melee weapons with the thrown property. Thrown weapons be default use STR

There's no reason to slap finesse on them since ALL ranged weapons use DEX anyway.

I've thought about changing the map grids to 2.5' squares instead of 5ft squares, it seems more realistic when you use minis

Distances don't have to be farther. In our world 50 miles is an hour drive or less, but if you think about it, the walking distance of infantry is about 25 miles a day. That would be the same distance a caravan can go. So something 50 miles away will take 2 days to make the the trip one way...

I don't even count that as Ravenloft. That was just the "Curse of Strald" campaign. There was nothing in the book for doing anyrhing outside of the campaign.

I'm worried it won't be supported, like Ravnica wasn't.

Rajaat didn't die in the Prism Pentad. He was only imprisoned again. There was a follow-up book call "The Rise and Fall of a Dragon King" which was the life of Humanu, and talked about how and why he became a Sorcerer King and what happened that made the Sorcerer Kings betray Rajaat. To make a...
