    Warlock Changing Patron

    I really like this. Ties in nicely with warlocks being the folks that make bargains to get the cheat sheats to magical power. In our ongoing campaign world, a warlock can change a patron - tho depending on the patron the repercussions range from disgruntled ex-cultists to Jihad levels of...

    6-8 Encounters a long rest is, actually, a pretty problematic idea.

    I find it helps to mix up encounter types and of course, having failure as an option. If a table cannot handle failure then... well, that's really their problem and not the game system's. Example of varied adventuring day: Party of five characters, each level 8 attempting to extract a person...

    How lovely, our first nightmare with hiding in combat!

    Well, as we know full well, stealth values are relative to each table! :) As a general rule, I find 'keeping things going' trumps everything else, as said things-that-are-to-be-kept-a-going are typically player attention, investment and of course, entertainment. I mean, I'm sure there's...

    D&D 5E How strict are you with vision and illumination rules?

    Generally, it only comes up when called out ('Hey, how can you see X, its pitch black and you only have a torch!) or when its fun. For example: - we've run dungeon crawls where nobody is bothered that much about lighting after its been established the cleric has 'Light cast on their shield...

    Random summoning tables for extra surprise! Now, if everyone would like to place their planar gatekeys in the bowl, we can begin! Actually, now... I'm wondering if this solves the mystery of what exactly characters get up to after they hit level 20. I mean, there's only so many crystals...

    D&D 5E What have you found to be the hardest thing for new players to understand about 5e systems?

    Team work, to be honest - not so much the intent to work as a team, rather the knowledge of how the various class and character choices can better support each other - because it relies on a fairly hefty knowledge of the system. A session 0 where new players discuss their characters' abilities...

    Divine power drawn from a place/object?

    How about having clerics/divine casters simply return to these sacred sites once they level in order to gain access to new 'levels' of divine power? Then they're free to trundle off doing divine castery things. As a reward at higher levels, they can be granted responsibility with securing a...

    Invisibility /stealth / hide with a rigid DM what can i do instead?

    FLOW CHART! Ok, but before someone shares it: First, have a chat with your DM about stealth. Ask them to give you examples of scenarios where your character could and could not stealth. You at least need to know where they're coming from. To be clear, the PHB stealth rules are very much open...

    ''Parental figure, what's an orgy?'' ''Well horrible spawn of my loins, when Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Geoff and Uncle Geoff's on-off girlfriend and our neighbours the O'Rileys and the plumber and Dave from marketing love each other just enough....'' Heh, time to parent up!

    D&D 5E Your Adventuring Party Names

    The ongoing party name at our table is, 'The Furious Few'. And the airship is named, 'Girls Love Diamonds' - because the entire campaign kicked off over a desire to find & secure a diamond mine.
