Improvised now = furniture What is this? What does it refer to?

Um, the rerolling part. Sorry, just a little joke. ;) The part that doesn't work is the sense that giving Players* a Reroll option (versus Advantage) when using inspiration will encourage them to use it more often. This doesn't work because that is already what people* do. The idea that people...

I hate to throw a wet towel on the "Just use Inspiration as a reroll" idea, but it doesn't work. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying there aren't umpteen plus one ways of justifying the idea. Just that it would require me to deal with a rule that says my character is somehow inspired by failure...

I like the idea of gaining inspiration on a natural 1, but narratively it's a strange way to be inspired. How about this instead: we gain inspiration when our opponents roll a natural 1.

I call it the Second Digitization of the hobby.

Honestly, I'm not sure I will. However, it will be hard to resist the 50th anniversary hype.

Are you extremely nervous or is your character extremely nervous? I would expect your character to be nervous, but if you're extremely nervous then that needs to be addressed. What you're describing sounds like pretty fun night at the gaming table.

Players should look for and find the adventure.

I have to agree with Vaalingrade. I also have to agree with DarkCrisis. Sometimes I want to play but sometimes I want to Play.

I used to have a little sign I would put out on the table that read, "The Metagame will not help you."

I routinely re-skin monsters to discourage this.

Just replace Breastmaster Ranger with what we're talking about. It's ridiculous.

Page 2 of your Dungeon Masters's Guide has a disclaimer (in very fine print) that gives three good tactics on how to handle being a Dungeon Master in these situations.

The question is a little too absolute for me. I voted "Yes", but that doesn't mean I don't ever create Non-Player Characters using the Character Creation rules from the Players Handbook. Most of the time I don't, but sometimes I just like to have fun creating a character. On the other hand, the...

If you're like me and find yourself playing a lot of Adventure Paths, then play modules instead. I feel like this change would help to bring back that old school feel. Seriously, I'm getting tried of playing the same character in the same adventure for years at a time.

Ooo. Did I discover something? Can we call it Lakesdifantasy's Conjecture, Lakesidefantasy's Secret Upcast, or maybe Lakesidefantasy's Notable Niche?

Yes, I am also incredulous but I don't see anything against it. In fact, there is a parallel here with casting spells from scrolls that are of a higher level than could otherwise be cast by the caster.

Can a 6th level Sorcerer, who only has spell slots up to 3rd level, transform all of their 6 sorcery points into a 4th level spell slot, then upcast something like Magic Missile or Lightning Bolt into it?

As we are wrapping up our Curse of Strahd campaign: (all 99th level) Hiled, Dwarven Cleric of Goibhniu Raubhan, Elven Transmuter Munin, Tengu Monk Malocchio, Human Warlock
