    D&D 5E Aboleth Multiattack question

    Ah, drat. I failed to read that it can use the tail swipe as a legendary action. That's the whole point. Thanks guys!

    D&D 5E Aboleth Multiattack question

    Hey, guys. The MM says that the Aboleth's Multiattack ability means it gets three tentacle attacks per round, but it doesn't mention its tail attack. Does the tail attack replace one of the tentacle attacks, all the tentacle attacks, or does it stack - essentially giving the Aboleth a total of...

    D&D 5E An inexperienced DM is asking for your pennies ...

    If I'm not mistaken, Kingmaker is the same 'engine' they finally released in Pathfinder - Ultimate Campaign. We used that book. Aside from the city building, the entire army management/conquest/mass combat rules are abstract and vague as flark. They don't even tell you what happens when you wish...

    It's midnight here and I get up early tomorrow, so I take my leave. Guys, thank you, really, for all the advice and comments you gave me so far. Really appreciate it.

    How can I find people / websites to play by post? And how does it work with the dice? Trust to each others 'words'? Or does the DM roll for every single action, whether it is a monster's or a PC's?

    I know it, downloaded it. It doesn't suit him because he wants gigantic battles (2000 soldiers vs 3000 soldiers for example). When Armies Clash is set for a much lesser scale. What I bolded. Basically he wants to begin with a village hut and end up taking over the entire world. Elves, dwarves...

    You mean with webcam or something? Not sure if it is my style ... and I don't think I'd feel comfortable playing with complete strangers. I remember what the DM's guide in 3rd edition would say something like: "Don't play this game with people you wouldn't want to hang out in real life."

    *sigh* Okay, here's the thing. It's a long story, but if you're not bored, give it a read. I played D&D revised 1st edition (the Rules Cyclopedia one) for a few years as a player controlling a six-member party, with my older (by two years) brother playing the DM. In our late teens, we had...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNz6eHfsESQ Dedicated to the greatest mouth-y villain of all time. Almost all lines could easily fit into a D&D campaign.

    Considering the fact that Masters of the Universe is the cartoon that began my journey to the fantasy dragon / scifi genre ... I have to say ... I don't want this to happen. But I want it to happen. I want to fight Skeletor, the Lich Lord. No, I don't. It will screw up D&D. But ... grappling...

    D&D 5E Future 5th Edition books you'd *like* to see?

    Yeah, that too! Extremely useful book, I'd love to see one for D&D 5th edition.

    D&D 5E Future 5th Edition books you'd *like* to see?

    Sorry if this topic has been covered (to death) - I'm new to these forums. Anyway, what I'd *like* to see: - Dark Sun Campaign Setting Book (covering psionics, if it can help it) - Dark Sun Monster Manual - Rulebook for Mass Combat, Naval Combat and Kingdom Building / Management - Monster...

    [UPDATED AGAIN!] CURSE OF STRAHD Will Be Available March 15th

    Except that Raveloft isn't just a campaign setting, it's a different world than Faerun, is it not? I find it really hard to have an adventure based on say, Athas, without having a book with its own monster manual and game rules. Granted, Ravenloft is easier to pull off because the majority of...

    [UPDATED AGAIN!] CURSE OF STRAHD Will Be Available March 15th

    Hmmm ... I think ... maybe this is WotC's way of seeing if there is 'buying interest' for a new campaign setting? Releasing an adventure which temporarily teleports PCs from the Forgotten Realms to Ravenloft for *just* one adventure. If few people buy it, that's okay, it was one adventure and...
