    D&D 5E How many feats is a 5e level worth?

    A feat is a level worth of class features (less a fractional increase in PB, and HP/ HD plus maybe slots).

    D&D 5E Phantasmal Force question - logical actions

    It's fair if you gave the attacks Disadvantage. He was 'covered in leeches' after all. That's disadvantage for mine.

    D&D 5E Cloner's Corner: I'm thinking of going two attacks per action at level 1.

    An attack roll does not represent exclusively a single (or multiple) swings/ thrusts/ shots. It might be described narratively as either representing a single thrust, or it might be described narratively as six seconds of (parries, dodges, thrusts, counter attacks, circling your opponent...

    D&D 5E Balancing A Playable Lycanthrope Character

    So do DMs in Monty Haul campaigns, tossing out magic items like candy. If you like your players, don't be afraid to challenge them, make life hard for their characters, and so forth. If my players get cursed, they get cursed. But you do you I guess mate.

    D&D 5E Balancing A Playable Lycanthrope Character

    It's a curse man. The DM takes over his PC when in monster form, and murders babies (and loved ones and friends) and stuff. That's how you run it.

    D&D 5E Other Strength-based / Constitution-based Skills?

    Yeah but you've made more skills, so he's now worse at the things he's supposed to otherwise be good at. Previously a Fighter just needed Athletics. Now he needs 3 skills to do all that skill does.

    D&D General A Question about Waterdeep - Where does the Drinking Water come from?

    Magical plumbing most likely. Decanters of endless water (or the equivalent), loaded in banks, feeding water to homes in the city.

    D&D 5E Curse of Strahd (and limitations on 1st level play)

    I thought they were in a building? Any good reason why you didnt have the Druid leave a few Twig blights scattered about outside the main group (using their ability to blend in automatically) as guards? For a sandbox. Chris didnt design the encounter to be run exactly as is. He expected there...

    D&D 5E Curse of Strahd (and limitations on 1st level play)

    Twig blights have Blindsight 60' radius. From Crawford re Stealth v Blindsight: As soon as a hidden PC came within 60' of a Twig blight, they're automatically revealed. There are 24 of them, so 24 attacks at +3 or 12 at +3 (with advantage). Id be rolling initiative in 4 blocks of 6 to...

    D&D 5E How do you set DCs?

    Things an ordinary human could reliably do (climb a rope or a tree etc) there is no DC. You just do it, unless there is some extraordinary complication (in the middle of a storm etc) If it maybe warrants a check (climbing a building wall, some handholds) DC 10. For most checks (difficult free...

    D&D General What Does an Archfey Want?

    1) The swamp pearls are in fact eggs of some creature. Plenty of room for ideas there. 2) Help dealing with a Aboleth (underground river etc) or maybe some Duergar who live in the underdark and are damming her river for some construction they're doing. 3) Something to do with a curse (ties into...

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    And when the DM refuses to expel him or to reset the campaign, just like the same DM refused to stop him before the bad behaviour occurred in the first place requiring the reset? Again, who has the responsibility in the game to enforce, police and stop bad behavior? When this table falls apart...

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    Hahahahahahahahahahaha. That's my point.

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    And the game is run by the DM. No, you're wildly off the mark. It's expressly down to the DM to police (stop, punish or educate) that behavior. Rock up to a table and act like a murder-hobo jerk. See who it is that tells you to pull your head in, and if you dont stop, to leave. Then go to a...

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    The USA is very different to where I'm from. It's homicide rate (relative to my country, at 10 times higher) is far worse than Mexico's relative to yours (4 times higher). That doesnt make the USA some medieval hermit State compared to Australia though, or indicate to me that I could go to the...

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    @Vaalingrade you're tiptoeing and moving the goalposts repeatedly now. You realize that right?

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    But you said before it was down to the DM to 'refuse to acknowledge the actions of the bad player'. Which is it?

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    The group cant stop bad behaviour unless the DM does. The group could be entirely against a fellow PC murdering them in their sleep, but unless the DM also cares it's totally moot. Get it yet? It's the DMs responsibility. The buck stops with him (or her). Ergh. Nice way to avoid the...

    D&D General Fighting Law and Order

    Oh so the DM has some sort of obligation to look after the feelings of the other players at the table now, and to enforce certain standards of behavior from others that overstep that boundary? Is that what you're saying?
