A few things... Sure, the party might be traveling on a boat for days. Where do they get the snow, and how do they keep it from melting in the 12 hours it takes to cast the spell? Tim can't make a 2nd simulacrum. Doing so destroys the first simulacrum. You can't have more than one. Why would...

NOTE: I'm running an Acq Inc campaign. If a players says "hey, I need to buy some more arrows" I don't really need to RP that interaction, it just happens. But if they go looking for something more exotic, then... In one of our early sessions a druid character wanted to go looking for an...

I'm trying to figure out what makes simulacrum in this scenario worse than the party just going and finding a high-level NPC wizard and hiring them to come along and help with a particularly nasty situation, which doesn't even require a spell slot.

Man, if I ever run a party up to the point where someone can take meteor swarm? You can bet I'm going to somehow give them a 300-style battle where they can just annihilate most of an army's worth of minions in one shot. That's an opener they'll remember... :D

Heh. I mean, it says right in the spell description, unless you're using Wish to replicate an 8th-level or lower spell, or creating one of a short list of specified effects, "The GM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood...

My last druid's only objection to metal equipment was the impact of mining operations on the environment. They wouldn't buy new, but they'd damn sure re-purpose a nice set of half-plate they took off a baddie. Up-cycling for the win.

I saw this one on Reddit somewhere - I can't take credit for it. STAT DRAFT 4d6 drop lowest, every player rolls 6 times. (For a wider stat spread, just roll 3d6. Or 1d20.) Record all the rolled results in one common pool and sort highest to lowest. Everyone roll for initiative, so five players...

Kind of like Expelliarmus-ing your enemy to death? :)

So... setting aside the barkskin argument, the easiest way for a druid to get decent AC is to get to a big city, find a shop, and say "hey, any chance you have a set of half-plate made out of umber hulk chitin?" To which the shopkeeper either says "Sure, that'll be 1,500 gold" or "Yeah, right...

The Talking Flameskulls Huey Lewis and the Gnolls Doxie's Midnight Runners Neogi (and their one hit song, "99 Battle Balloons") (I'm glad SOMEone already made the Deva reference...)

Yeah, to stop the lvl 20 moon druid, I'd aim for a weak save (INT or CHA saves can be really inconvenient...), or maybe use several big nasty critters in league with a beholder or something else that can throw a big anti-magic field to short-circuit the wildshape ability.

I'm loving these! Another one popped to mind: 1,001 Asmodean Nights

Cockatrice Soup for the Soul Turning Undead for Dummies

So, I thought some community brainstorming here might be fun. I'm looking for interesting titles of books to hide in the many libraries of the world that our parties might run across. Feel free to add your own. Some examples: 1. Of Wights and Men 2. The Dragon With the Girl Tattoo 3. Fifty...

By the time you get to level 20, it's a pretty meaningless question. You can wildshape an unlimited number of times, and you can do it as a bonus action. So you can easily become an earth elemental (126 hp) and attack, then on your next turn become a mammoth (hey look, another 126 hp) and attack...

You can re-skin the Three Goblins in a Trenchcoat write-up...

I'm kind of surprised Orrery of the Wanderer was the last one out, actually. Honestly, with the final pair, does that just say that the original artifacts included in the DMG are, well, kind of lame?

Mainly because they won't want to release a book full of spoiler-y info before they have a chance to explore an area in-game.

I pre-ordered a hard copy and digital on D&D Beyond...

Sure, but... if I wanted to play Greyhawk (never having played that setting before) I could also just go find all the maps and lore online on wikis and use all the existing 5e mechanics and monsters already published, and run a great campaign in Greyhawk. I don't need it republished - it's...
