    D&D 5E The Village of Forest green - free resource

    Jaddith: Why do you think you ONLY faced that number? I was holding back the Horde, a man can only be at one place at a time so it was *insert deity's name*'s blessing that you were around to avert the disaster.

    D&D 5E Thoughts on playing Elf in Out of the Abyss [SPOILERS]

    It's the Underdark and the Drow, definitely some Dark themes there. And if you're familiar with the Drow, torture and humiliation is a good motivation to keep a PC alive. The PC could have a Flaw accordingly, death vow against the person(s) who tortured them. Or some fear aspect instead...

    D&D 5E Hit points -- how do you roll?

    Ok, seems player survivability is the goal here. Any reason not to just make it the HD max then?

    D&D 5E Command

    I'm pretty sure swimming in Armor is considered directly harmful though....

    D&D 5E Hit points -- how do you roll?

    But... then wouldn't every player want this option? Seems like it's the average or higher always. Assuming a d8 with the prescribed average of 5.. If my roll is 4 and below I get 5, other wise I'll get 6, 7 or 8. Seems like a no risk and all gain option. Essentially you're saying to roll a dice...

    D&D 5E Thoughts on playing Elf in Out of the Abyss [SPOILERS]

    For females: 1) The Drow have been having their way with me. I wonder when they will tire and slay me. However, every day I live is a chance to escape. For Males: 2) I'm not sure how much longer I can hold on, The Drow Priestess' "games" are wearing me down. I've lost track of how many times...

    D&D 5E team-building quest

    Btw, their Greatest Fears? Are TOTALLY immune to their attacks and attempts, they regenerate from ALL damage dealt, in a REALLY obvious and flashy way. Only a team member can help destroy another's fear.

    D&D 5E Spell Preparation: Leaving Slots Open

    I'm personally inclined towards the "leave a prepared spell slot open variant myself". So if you would have had 7 spells to prepare based on your INT or WIS. If you prep 5, you can fill the other 2 later PROVIDED you have the requisite time to meditate/study, which the PHB states to be 1 minute...

    D&D 5E Beguiling Influence mod: advantage instead of proficiency?

    Actually, I use it a different way... in the PHB on Backgrounds it reads Proficiencies Each background gives a character proficiency in two skills. Skills are described in chapter 7. In addition, most backgrounds give a character proficiency with one or more tools. Tools and tool proficiencies...

    D&D 5E Awakened Mind

    Hemlock: Ahhh, unique mental signatures as an authentication method, how intriguing. Yes, I've been reading some of Julian May's work so I know what you mean. Though even in her works, skilled psychics could fake their mental signatures and even downplay their auras to go undercover. The Hydra...

    D&D 5E Awakened Mind

    Cool, nice to see both sides of view on this ability. So far we've been having the rogue attempt to communicate back to me, but before I've initiated the "telepathic channel", so most people just thinks he's talking to the voices in his head. However he's playing a character that's convinced he...

    D&D 5E Awakened Mind

    Hi, provided a telepathic 'channel' has been opened. Can the target respond back? I'm basing this off the general Monster Manual text on Telepathy. So if I have started the chat, the the other person respond? "TELEPATHY Telepathy is a magical ability that allows a monster to communicate...

    Give the Ferret a Cantrip...... Vicious Mockery, have fun saying what Regi-ferret would say :p

    D&D 5E Confer Spell Like Ability

    Only similar mechanic now seems to be the Ring of Spell Storing? But you gotta: 1) have a nice DM who allows you to have one; 2) Convince the party spellcaster it's better on someone else

    D&D 5E Astral Projection

    And... that pretty much answered all my questions! Thanks :)

    D&D 5E Astral Projection

    Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but it reads.... "Your astral form can freely travel through the Astral Plane and can pass through portals there leading to any other plane. If you enter a new plane or return to the plane you were on when casting this spell, your body and possessions are...

    D&D 5E Upgrading the WoS Monk

    And how would I get access to the light spell exactly? If your solution is to multiclass or use another player, that doesn't really solve the issue Also, assuming that there will be dim light cast by a light cantrip doesn't apply in an already bright environment. It doesn't dim an areas...

    D&D 5E Upgrading the WoS Monk

    Ah to update, I came to an accomodation with my DM. The spell Darkness is now called, 'Shades of Darkness' and applies to everyone who can cast the spell. As casting you decide the level of darkness or shade to throw, and it remains so for the duration of the spell. So you can either cast dim...

    D&D 5E Banshee is Nasty!

    I don't get it Is the Banshee a CR15 creature? How does a party of 5 6th level players take one out then? I thought the CR rating meant 4 15th level adventurers could take it out? Or is it 4 15th level players would mop the floor with her? :P

    D&D 5E Salior Variant: Bad Reputation

    You punched the Captain of the guard's Son, Grandmother, uncle or whatever. Not being reported to the authorities and not being noticed by the authorities are two very different scenarios I'd say.
