Very true, I agree 100%.

If a player can get to high levels, so can BBEG bosses who just might be in adventuring parties similar to the player. You don't to run everything straight out of the MM. A good BBEG is going to through out his fodder first, making players expend spells and abilities on the trash. Then he's...

Absolutely, they should have had a chance before selling the armor......if it even got that far. The players going to the magic shop and inquiring into getting information on the gauntlet and ring, without any prompting or guidance from the DM, indicates that they had no intention of selling...

In one of my games (I play in two), I played a Warlock for the past six months. I died last week, and I've never been happier to roll up a new character. I realize that there are a lot of different things you can do as a Warlock, but my game sessions felt kind of like this: Me: Do the same...

Strange that others get banned from this thread, but you are allowed to keep trolling. The players clearly never intended to sell the ring and gauntlet. If they had, they would have never asked to have the items appraised. Troll it, spin it, twist it however you want. It still comes back to...

Same argument, and you keep leaving out the crucial part of what happened. "It was then, when they wanted to check the ring and gauntlets that I reminded them that it was all in the set, that the ranger had sold. They were not pleased...and some were not pleased with me for not telling them."...

That's exactly how I read this situation.

Like I said before, just play it and have fun. D&D is a lot more interesting when not every character is 18 Str, 18 Dex, 18 Con, 18 Wis, 18 Int and 18 Cha or whatever. Use the strengths that you have and work on your weaknesses. If you live long enough, you can use ASI to balance out stats...

The class I see most are rogues, with assassin at level 3. Smiting paladins are pretty frequent in my area too.

I fully support humans getting the ability to take a feat. It solves one of the major problems of the game that has been around from the beginning: worlds are almost always human based and other races are much rarer and less numerous. Despite that, every party is an elf, elf, elf, dwarf (or...

I say go for it. Stats in D&D are one of the things people worry far too much about. A player roleplaying well trumps any stats (unless you have a DM where optimizing is the only way you will have a chance of living). I like the cleric angle myself. You are wise, with average charisma and...

Personally, I'd probably choose champion instead of the battle master if I had to, just for the ease and simplicity of it. There is a beauty to adding a champion to a battlerager, of course. Changing critical hits from 5% (1 out of 20) to 10% (2 out of 20) is pretty big for any class. As you...

But Exploder essentially calling people crybabies is O.K. ? Got it.

I think a lot of us understand that they are different people, but some of us also believe that they are still related.

The goblins are definitely going to be on guard and ready for the next raid on them. He's probably going to set up some ambushes and traps. Maybe the goblins will hide on top of the cliff. When the PC's come, they let lose with arrows as the PCs try to climb up and Agrak uses his abilities to...

Per the 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide: IDENTIFYING A MAGIC ITEM Some magic items are indistinguishable from their nonmagical counterparts, whereas other magic items display their magical nature conspicuously. Whatever a magic item's appearance, handling the item is enough to give a...

As for roleplaying or rollplaying....considering that there are books that talk about how much each statistic adds to your dice roll, how there are percentage charts to roll on, hit points to roll, attack rolls to make, saving throws to make, damage rolls to make, stealth checks to make, etc...

This isn't so much about rolling, it's about the DM giving the player a visual of what is going on. Read it like this: Ranger: "I take the armor to the blacksmith to sell. How much does he offer?" "You step into the blacksmith's shop and are surprised by how clean it is. Instead of soot and...

Yup. Nothing worse than a DM that describes an imaginary world to the players so they can get a better idea of what is actually going on. Much better to just to use vague wording and let your players misinterpret what is going on and then get mad because of it.

Dwarven barbarian taking the battlerager class ! This is my main character right now, and I've never enjoyed a character more. He's not the most powerful, I get knocked unconscious or almost die nearly every session, but he is a blast to play. He's aggressive and takes unnecessary risks if...
