So I'm running Out of the Abyss (kinda, just using bits and pieces) and the party will be facing ogremoch's bane next session. According to the book, the elemental cloud can only banished through two different spells that the party doesn't have (Level 6 Paladin, Barbarian and Druid). I feel that...

Final draft of the weapon: The Luck Devourer +1 to Attack and Damage Upon hitting a target in combat for the first time, the blade drains all luck from the surrounding area. All creatures within 100 feet cannot benefit from advantage on any roll except for the wielder. If the wielder gains...

So, these are the four options I came up with after reading your suggestions: The Revenant Blade +1 to Attack and Damage If the wielder dies while wielding this blade, they immediately return as a revenant with the sole purpose of getting revenge those that have killed them. Once the enemy...

I found this curse The Revenant Blade +1 to Attack and Damage All Magical Damage used by the wielder becomes Necrotic. Deals an additional 3d6 Necrotic Damage to targets bellow 20 HP. Targets slain by the blade return as Revenants one week later with the sole purpose of killing the wielder...

The sword was part of a collection by a drow blacksmith said to have been aided by a devil. It was made as a last desperate act of a dying kingdom during a long forgotten war. The party found the sword in an massive abandoned duergar forge and before the forge was forced to be abandoned, the...

Nonono, he wants to re-curse himself. I purposely gave him a way out.

So I'm running an underdark adventure right now (as you might know if you've seen some of my other threads). One of the party members is an Aasimar Paladin of the Crown who has been playing it up as the honorable and good knight of JUSTICE! He came into possession of a cursed greatsword (which...

Wait wait....so you only reach terminal velocity if you fall from 1,500 ft (for a human)? Then why did Wizards make a cap at 20d6? The cap should be 150d6.

It is a bit annoying that players can jump from 100 feet and be alright though. A barbarian raging will almost always still remain conscious and I know some players jump even if they will be unconscious afterward just because they know there's healing and it would likely never outright kill...

Hey! I was wandering how you all calculate fall damage in special situations. For example: Last session my players ended surrounded by enemies on all sides while on a bridge (yes, a cliffhanger). Now thanks to their talk I know that they are planning to jump next session. When the barbarian...

UPDATE: The party opted with going for the Stone Giant Warlock. She got healed in exchange for a favor. Problem is that when they started the mission to complete that favor, they screwed up and now they are in the middle of a heavily fortified Duergar kingdom, after having killed four guards in...

They will be meeting their informant in the city and he'll know of a couple of ways to deal with the curse. I'm thinking of giving them Four Choices: 1- A Duergar Cleric that will heal her in exchange for a future favor. He can weaken the curse until the favor is done (I'm thinking of curing...

I love the ideas! The only issue is that the party is pretty much tapped out of spells and HP by the time they have reached the city and if they take another long rest, the cursed druid WILL die...because she has 8 Max HP left and it's a 3d6 roll.

So my players are currently in the UNDERDARK and have been traveling there for a while. This has led to 2 of them having permanent madness (which they seem to love), one of the mad ones having Mummy Rot and the not mad one has a cursed sword that makes him obsessed with it. All in all a pretty...

Anyone know of any way to make huge and larger sized encounters interesting? What I meant by it is that, say a party is fighting a Stone Giant...they are huge and by huge I mean that the players usually barely reach above their knees. Are there any cool mechanics such as, for example, having to...

I've never really allowed multiclassing...I view it as an excuse make ridiculously broke characters. However, my players always wanted multiclassing in our games (half of them are basically munchkins that just love making the strongest characters possible). After so long, I was thinking of just...

Part of the reason why they are OK with death is likely because they have little attachment to the characters. I've had characters that I grew so attached to that I would take such a pact, however my players in general are the type to quit and reroll chars or reject shady deals even if they mean...

They are all alright with dying, in fact it is somewhat of a theme that their characters die often. Unfortunately their characters last for about 1 or 2 levels with only one exception so far. I find this to be sad and it isn't because I constantly throw impossible challenges at them, but I tend...

So my current campaign is set in the underdark and the characters are making their way to an underground city. To get there they encountered a dungeon with a mummy. An NPC promised to reward them if they rid the dungeon of the undead because they were a threat to her home. The players went down...

Anyone else find it adorable when a player taunts the DM by saying that their character "can't be killed" because they have countermeasures for everything? My friend made a Dream Druid and now thinks that with magic and transformations they can out-heal or flee anything. Thoughts on how I...
