I have started a 5e campaign for my son and his friends, however, I also am running a 3.5 campaign for several years now. We chose not to go to 4e, because of limitations on the classes, and drastic differences between 3.5 and 4e that would have required major changes to the characters, and the...

Ok, so the logic works. That is the same solution I get.

You are on the right path, and yes everything after those straight forward are related to each other, but also some of the clues are actually directly associated with each other, and that is a conclusion that has to be drawn. For example: Clues 4 and 5 are referring to the same two heros. So...

This is the end of a module through a tower where they PCs face five challengers from what they are told by five ancient heros. This is the sixth and final challenge. If the PCs have paid attention to the challenges they should have most of the information that tells them how to work the...

With conjure animals this becomes much simpler. The animals get the Perception Checks and collectively should have little trouble locating the creature. The party just sits back and starts attacking thr space immediately in front of the bears once they all start attaçking the creature.

My first question would have to be why is everything, including the arrows the party brought to cast cordon of arrow also invisible. It would seem to me that there is some object in the room that makes everything entering invisible. This means that even the PCs will not see each other. I suggest...

That is almost exactly what I did with Einstein's Riddle. Unfortunately, I am able to solve Einstein's Riddle with a litte work so it makes complete sense to me. Whether or not it makes sense to someone else is a different story.

I designed a riddle based on Einstein's Riddle for my group as a capstone to one of my modules. Its intended to make the group think and challenge them. My problem is that to me it makes complete sense. I have handed it to a few other people and all of them simply refuse to try it. The...

You are equating all dwarves as drunk scottsman, and I have seen few players that do that. I have never played one that way. Greedy, yes, but never the clique dwarve, that is just insulting. Your argument that you deny races because of the standard tropes is just bunk and implies a view the...

I think you misunderstand what I am saying. I create a role for my story idea. Similar to what an author does. EX: The Worshipper - Extremely devote individual willing to defend his religious beliefs against blasphemy. The Abomination - Loyal to his hometowm of {insert village}, but different...

I can honestly say, I have never had a player that was just annoying when he played one particular race. I have had plenty that where simply too immature for one of my groups and annoyed that group, but I usually manage to find a place for them somewhere else, either in another of my other...

I had a player play Jim Adler the "Village" Hammer once, and it was a blast. Of course, he actually chose to play a gnomish illusionist. He also happened to be a local advocate, and over time, he gathered followers that would tail the village security and report to them anytime someone was...

That sounds like a it made for a great story and it something I would have most definately encouraged my players to try.

You don't need a specific ract to be a specific archetype, but its so much more fun rather than being the human I am every day when I wake up. That is the point of roleplaying in the first place. Becoming something you aren't and developing a collaberative story from there. That is what makes it...

When I design my campaigns, I usually have set roles that I need filled. EX. My current campaign had five roles, the Abonimation, the Noble, the Wanderer, the Seer, and the Worshipper. In this case the worshipper is a Dwarven wizard, and the roleplaying fun we have as he debates the merits of...

It seems like you are working extra hard to avoid something that is rather minor. Again, that is more work, than it is worth. Why not just allow the race? I have an entire island chain in my world run by Duegar. Goblins inhabit the islands, but the Gray Dwarves rule from the bowels of the...

As I said in a different post, I am fairly liberal in my handling of race. I believe that everu monster should be able to be leveled up starting from level 1, and I sat down with the 5e MM shortly after it was released to determine how most of the humanoids would work as a race in my world. I...

I don't disagree with this, but I would argue that if you are that stuck on something, you are missing out on the opportunity for excellent roleplaying that can make a fantastic story. You are wrong again, in the campaign I am currently running, the original DM quit, because my character had a...

I generally do not, and I am fairly liberal with using monsters as races as well, because to me, as the DM I should be able to determine what makes a level 1 dragon just as easily as a level 1 human. Now, seldom do any of my players ever ask to play a monster, but I have actually gone through...

You have to consider what is trying to be achieved here and how it is being achieved. Mechanics aside, my perspective is from a storytelling perspective and considered general physics. You have an arrow stuck in the ground that quickly flies to a target and vanishes. The target is invisible...
