    D&D 5E Small tweaks to improve Out of the Abyss [DMs toolbox; SPOILERS]

    My fighter PC who wants to learn spells at 3rd level is currently dreaming of the library but I suspect they will get spells long before they get that far, so not quite sure how that will fit in yet.

    D&D 5E Small tweaks to improve Out of the Abyss [DMs toolbox; SPOILERS]

    The one change I made to the outpost was the cavern had enough Faezerness that the humans weren't in pitch blackness, and the drow might be going mad and single mindedly chase the prisoners across half the known world.

    D&D 5E Small tweaks to improve Out of the Abyss [DMs toolbox; SPOILERS]

    So I started the game which went ok. The absolutely essential things were understanding the NPC's in the cell and having stat sheets that the players could have to control them if they managed to escape with a lot. How should the were rats be handled in combat if they escape with the players...

    D&D 5E Small tweaks to improve Out of the Abyss [DMs toolbox; SPOILERS]

    I am starting this tomorrow. How do you envisage the hollowed out stalactites? Do they have holes for windows, or arrow slits? Otherwise it seems the only way for the drow supposedly guarding the prisoners to see them is to leave the door open. My current plan assuming they wait for Jorlan to...

    D&D 5E How Do Monks Survive At Low Levels?

    I am playing a human monk with the healer feat. This made me very useful to the group at level one as no one could heal much yet. The world we are playing in has little metal so finding decent armor will be a problem for others. So far I hid behind the paladin a lot and healed people. Some of...

    D&D 5E DMs, how are you managing the Lucky feat?

    When we started up a 5th ed game I pointed things to our old 1st ed GM that he might not like or think were overpowered. I flagged lucky and he decided it was not allowed. I am about to run a game and have allowed it for now and will see what effect it has if anyone takes it.

    D&D 5E Does Darkness the spell dispel Faerie Fire?

    For example PCs cast Faerie Fire on a bunch of Drow. Drow cast Darkness, does this dispel the Faerie Fire?

    D&D 5E Are players always entitled to see their own rolls?

    Imagine you had 5 players who walk into a room with a magic box for a game of d&d. The players simply sit down and state what their characters are and what they are doing, the magic box now states the outcomes of their actions and tells them things they can see in the world and what the other...

    D&D 5E Bards, muscical instruments, spell casting and spell casting focus

    Just checking I understand the rules for bards and musical instruments. At level one a bard has proficiency in 3 instruments from the class. They can use an instrument as a spell casting focus but as far as I can see they don't have to be proficient in that instrument to do so. They add their...

    D&D 5E Does magical armour change size to fit the wearer.

    I know in much older editions if an hobbit tried to wear a suit of man sized armour that was magic it would change size to fit them. Are there any guidelines for this in 5th edition or does the new greater realism less powerful magic mean you have to have it altered by a wizard and a smith or...

    D&D 5E Out of the Abyss - opinions and ideas requested

    Personally I am very worried about my players managing to escape, if this was my game I would instigate the demon attack now. That should keep the drow occupied, you can have fun with the priestess against the demons and the party will be scared to death and probably run screaming out of the...

    D&D 5E Out of the Abyss Small Party

    I think having an extra initially NPC in the prison with a really small group is a good idea. I am about to run this with 3 players and will add a 4th character to the prisoners that can be taken over in the event of a player death. Assuming your players manage to keep at least some of the...
