If you want to stick to the rules, the 5E DMG p.38 indicates for a high level campaign 5th level characters would have 500 gp plus ldlO x 25 gp, one uncommon magic item, normal starting equipment. And, there's a handy pdf on the wizards' site for Magic Items by Rarity, so finding Uncommon...

I felt an hour was too long and just changed it to half an hour. To me this seems plenty of time to catch your breath, bandage wounds, wipe the blood off, have some refreshments then get ready to move off again.

This bit I have trouble with. If the players are all the kind who like to play video games on easy mode with mods that make them godlike and that's fun for them this might be true. But if they're the kind that like to enjoy the satisfaction that comes from victory earned through clever triumph...

I was surprised to read this. I don't know anyone who's been tasered but I know police who've been trained in taser and they're told that recovery can often be near instantaneous, especially when the subject is violent. When properly deployed tasers deliver electricity through the subjects...

It's well worth reading the original blog but my take is... 1) Every time the players "spend time" a dice goes into the pool, or all the dice in the pool get rolled (DM's choice). If the pool isn't full and a 1 is rolled, a dice gets removed. If the pool is full (has six dice in) AND a 1 is...

This thread has been exceptionally interesting. I've always been in the camp thinking pact blades were relatively gimped or at least lacking compared to other pacts. Especially if one is contemplating anything other than fiend pact. "Warlock" feels like it should be associated with dangerous...

Not at all ridiculous. I've always enjoyed hybrid characters, so the mix of skills and magic inherent in the bard mechanics appeals but I personally simply have not an ounce of musical talent or ability in my entire being so I struggle to imagine roleplaying a musical character. On top of...

You're certainly not the only one to find the concept hard to visualise and/or roleplay. I love Critical Role's Scanlon Shorthalt (Sam Reigel truly brings the musical bard concept to life) but I just can't see anyone at my table coming remotely close. If/when I ever play a bard, it will be...

he called me and I don't think are pretty much the crux. I think Tglassy gives a great summary of different interpretations but no matter how the "community" defines these terms, it may or may not align with your DM's opinion and any meaning he may or may not have meant to imply with his...

Actually my response was to accept your point and try to tweak my suggestion so that BW remained less powerful than the Battlemaster Parry. If your experience indicates my tweak is still overpowered I'll keep pondering and considering opinions whether you help anymore or not. Thanks for your...

I think I like this best and I’m inclined to include it as an alternative casting option so that if you know the Blade Ward cantrip, you can cast it a/p PHB standard for protection against multiple weapon attacks for a round, or as a bonus action for protection against one attack.

So I’m trying to fix something that doesn’t need fixing, provided you’re an Eldritch Knight or a Sorcerer? Powerful points, but it feels like the spell is too limited to compete with other cantrips as is. What about an addendum to the standard PHB wording:Alternatively, the spell can be...

I'm trying to decide on a house rules fix for Blade Ward to make it an actually viable choice. I'm leaning towards either a Duration-Concentration variant, or a Casting-Time-1-Reaction as follows: Blade Ward; Abjuration cantrip; Casting Time: 1 Action; Range: Self; Components: V, S; Duration...

Tharashk I found hard to pin down. They have prospectors, inquisitives and bounty hunters but their ECS magical abilities are mostly divination around finding directions or objects. Survival helps find nourishment in the wilderness as well as finding your so no reason it couldn’t fit prospecting...

On the road at the moment so can't check my books but from memory I only recall Skilled which gets you +3 proficiencies. I don't have the statistical talent to be confident on the power creep merits of advantage vs bonus proficiencies, I just have a gut feeling that the inherent unreliability...

That would be a nice fit for Sivis for sure, but… I’m inclined to agree with earlier comments along the lines that granting extra proficiencies encroaches too much on class abilities. Advantage is a nice general bonus that’s reliable enough to be appreciated, but not so much that you can count...

Investigation for House Kindarak didn’t feel right so I went back to the Eberron Campaign Setting book, re-read the dragonmarks section (p.63-67) and realised each Least Mark gave a bonus to a certain proficiency. If we convert that to advantage on the 5E version of each, we get…...

It’s been so long since I’ve found and interesting Everton chat, this thread is awesome 😊 Thank you so much. I was sure I’d seen a write up and map of Thronehold but just Could. Not. Find. It. Again. Myself. Agreed. So far I think they worked best as a prestige class but I don’t see prestige...

Nice, thanks for the pointer.

Ok then, the background for the rise of dragons in Khorvaire according to Tersival… After centuries of searching Azaryanis, an ancient blue dragon sworn to the Talons of Tiamat, a Cult of the Dragon Below, followed hints of the draconic prophecy to a long buried cavern beneath the Demon Wastes...
