    D&D 5E Advice Needed: Converting Spells Across Elements

    Working on this as well. The Fire Scor has a marked advantage over the others in terms of spells that line up well. Fire as written is really the best mechanical choice. As the spells they learn are innate. Going with when she learns a Elemental Spell, she can decide if it will do damage type...

    D&D 5E Anyone created their own Fantasy Grounds modules with the official 5E D&D core materials yet?

    There is a tool on the MAP, you drag a corner to make a square, that is the new grid size. Many maps made for FG have a marked square in a corner just for that purpose, though any square will do. Then DM drops a 5x5 Token down scales it and sets the scale. Now all squares should match the token...

    Sage Advice: Jeremy Crawford on Ability Checks & What They're Not

    And if the grappler’s target is under the effect of the Dodge action, that action doesn’t inhibit the grapple, since Dodge doesn’t affect ability checks.

    D&D 5E What is Elite in 5E?

    In Wargaming it was Training and sometimes had Morale lumped in. Green Trained Elite Are the simple 3. So Green was your untrained or poorly trained. Trained was your Base Line troops. Elite was Highly Trained, Solider for life, The Kingsguard, that sort of thing. Green could also mean...

    [UPDATED] Dragon+: An Official D&D iOS App

    Iphones are great unless you need to like make a phone call. :) Have an old Ipad will see if it works or requires a camera so the old ones can not use. No need for a camera but Apple started requiring the check to make you buy a new one.

    D&D 5E Anyone created their own Fantasy Grounds modules with the official 5E D&D core materials yet?

    Noticed I left GP prices in that entry, gone now in my module. For the 3.5 stuff I am using the following thumb rules: +1 to 3 =+1 +4 to 7 =+2 +8 to 10= +3 Skill Bonus is Proficiency (+1 to 2) +2 (+5), Advantage(+10) So if the Boots gave a +1 to Stealth it is now Proficiency If the boots...

    D&D 5E Anyone created their own Fantasy Grounds modules with the official 5E D&D core materials yet?

    Watch the videos Xorn made on using Par5e they help. But as I am not using it to do a whole book, it has been great. Magic Items are dead simple: Carpet of Flying Wondrous item, uncommon This rug is able to fly through the air as if affected by an overland flight spell of unlimited duration...

    D&D 5E Darkvision range and light sources beyond.

    This to me sounds like Low Light vision not Dark Vision. Dark Vision is what the races and creatures who see but live in darkness use. But again your world your rules.

    D&D 5E Anyone created their own Fantasy Grounds modules with the official 5E D&D core materials yet?

    One of the great problems of the age. Even if you are very careful a word that some corp. stooge slipped in to copyright can come and sue you. So yes beware sharing, as between stooges and back yard lawyers, someone will find something and then cause issues. I find to be honest the back yard...

    D&D 5E Would you change a monster's hit points mid-fight?

    Story. If it makes a great Story for ALL, let it happen. If it means a plot NPC death that is needed elsewhere, many options. It was not who you thought it was so the fight was too easy. In this case the main one was watching the fight and is a bit more ready for them. He was not the main bad...

    D&D 5E How many attacks should a two weapon fighter get?

    For a TWF one build I like is having a thrown weapon in the off hand. Gives a bit more use out of that extra attack.

    D&D 5E Rolling Hit Points Tweak

    I have always had them Take AVG. if the roll was low. If a player rolls badly two times at low levels the Char. becomes a hindrance for the GM and the player. Just not worth it.

    D&D 5E Damage novas you ran into during play that surprised you

    At first you really can not blow the heal to do that though. With only 2 spells. Where the others can do 20 dam hit after hit. I am sure it gets better later, like I said glad it was not my first game.

    D&D 5E Darkvision range and light sources beyond.

    Dark Vision to be is when out at night after a heavy snow. There are no shadows just shades of gray. I can see under the tree even though the moon is out. If there is bright light in front of me, I lose that view. Turn my back to the light I can see just fine, after the 30 seconds for eyes to...

    Played a pick up game, the 2 Fighters were made by players, as was the thief. My poor Cleric was so under gunned it was quite sad. Mine was pregen of course. Fighter 2 Weapon fighting with the feat. Fighter Bow User with Sharpshooter. Thief Bow user with Sharpshooter. If that had been my 1st...

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    I think 4e would still be strong today, if the VTT had been created and it worked just decently. 4e was built to push that and we all know what happened, 5e is paying for those sins still today. Hasbro does not care about you one bit, only profit. No building the community, no making great...
