    D&D 5E Dark Gifts from the Amber Temple and being "coerced"

    Careful, Spoilers ahead for Curse of Strahd Hey everyone, I´m running CoS for a couple of friends and they just entered the Amber Temple. After reading the specifics for the Amber Sarcophagi, a question came to my mind. You can not accept dark gifts if you have been "manipulated or coerced"...

    D&D 5E Aura of the Guardian against damage that drops the paladin to 0?

    Hey everyone, I have a redemption paladin in my game, and he had a theoretical question that I couldn´t answer. This is probably one of those "just do it as you wish at your table"-things but just wanted to know if anybody had an idea how to handle it RAW. Lets say we have the redemption...

    Do Maintenance Costs include Lifestyle Expenses?

    My party had a lot of downtime recently, and most of them lived in a modest lifestyle (1GP/day) during that time. But while they were resting they also had someone build them a fort. Now that the fort will be finished soon they asked me if the costs in the future will only be the 50GP/day...

    Artifact Ideas (Vestiges)

    The next one I don´t know if I´m super convinced cause a lot of it´s abilities are just spells because the abilities I had in mind already existed as spells (in came out as spells in XGTE) Rift: Rift is an ethereal shortsword with the power to manipulate the space around his user. In the...

    Artifact Ideas (Vestiges)

    Yes that is correct, the usual riposte is only possible if the enemy is in striking distance, but with this skill you basically make an unbelievably fast lunging attack and immediately go back to your position.

    Artifact Ideas (Vestiges)

    Sounds like a cool alternative :D I have a few other items I´ll just post one after the other here too, so I don´t spam new threads^^ This item was born out of the fact that there is no benefit to one handing a weapon without a shield. (I have an arcane trickster in the group that wants to go...

    Artifact Ideas (Vestiges)

    Yea I thought about making the second getting expertise in a skill for one check 1/day (or maybe 1/short rest), because proficiency isn´t really much considering jack-of-all-trades, but getting expertise in something youre usually not proficient in would be a +9 for one check at max proficiency...

    Artifact Ideas (Vestiges)

    Hey everybody, inspired by Critical Roles "Vestiges of Divergence" (for those who don´t know them they´re basically really powerful magic items that start good and slowly become legendary), I wanted my players to have a "personal" magic item, too. These are meant to be artifact level items...

    D&D 5E Keoghtoms Ointment VS Aboleth Disease

    Thanks for all the replies, probably gonna let them use the ointment then (if they remember they have it... they have the habit of forgetting items they dont use for some time^^)

    D&D 5E Keoghtoms Ointment VS Aboleth Disease

    It´s been quite a while since they found it, but I think I told them what it says in the book. So if they tried it and it wouldn´t work I probably would have to tell them (maybe make a roll what they know about aboleths) that the disease of the aboleth is too strong to be cured by anything but...

    D&D 5E Keoghtoms Ointment VS Aboleth Disease

    Im planning to have a fight against an Aboleth for my (currently lvl 7, might be 8 till they meet him) party of 5. Once I read about the disease he inflicts upon getting hit I wondered what my party could do to heal somebody. The disease says that it can only be removed by "heal" or another...

    D&D 5E Getting skills from another class after a soulswap

    Hello everybody, I´m DMing a group of 6th lvl characters, of which most have played these since first level. To give my players a little variety, I had (as part of an ancient spell in an old ruin) them "swap souls". But unlike the usual "you keep your mental stats and take the physical stats"...

    D&D 5E Darkvision + Skulker = Blind sight?

    Hello everybody, I'm running a D&D 5th campaign and my players are soon hitting lvl 4. Now I have a player (Wood Elf/Ranger/Beastmaster) whos interested in the feat "Skulker". When we read over it I brought up that the 3rd bonus "Dim light doesn't impose disadvantage on your wisdom(perception)...

    D&D 5E Labyrinthine dungeon in the feywild

    A shambling mound might be to hard with cr 5 (depends on if they're still lvl 3 then) but I love the invader idea, finally a reason to make them fight demons without a whole part of the campaign being about it^^

    D&D 5E Labyrinthine dungeon in the feywild

    That's a lot of ideas thanks. To be honest I don't know a lot of them since we started with 5th edition and only have the monster manual, the dmg and the players handbook. They've just fought blights so those fall out because I don't want to use them again this soon.

    D&D 5E Labyrinthine dungeon in the feywild

    Hello everybody, I'm running a 5th edition game and my players just stepped into the feywild. They're on the hunt for a displacer beast(they have no idea what that is yet except the name and the fact that it has tentacles;) ) and I'm thinking about having them go through a maze of bushes and...
