    D&D General "HOW I RUN IT" - I made a D&D 'zine! (copies of Issue #5 - detailing stat drafts - rediscovered!)

    Who did the art, in particular the portraits for the "Out of the Frying Pan" campaign?

    D&D 5E Goblin Barbarian

    Pole arm master using either a spear or staff with shield. You can always re-flavor the weapon to your liking. You'll be able to choose between a bonus action attack or disengage/hide. And a reaction attack when they come into your reach. Since you are small, get a sled dog (RotFM, uses...

    D&D 5E Fix 5e.... in one sentence

    Protection of evil requires a sprinkling of holy water or powdered silver. Apparently a lot of DMs think a first level spell is too OP and should require the whole 25 gp vial of holy water or 5 pounds of powdered silver. 🙄

    Pathfinder 1E What is the point of self-hindering grab ability?

    The description of the annis hag is horrific. I assume she grapples her victim while slowly dissecting them with her free hand to make her skin suit while the victim is still alive. 😱 I don't play pf but I see she has fog cloud and blind fighting. That would be a powerful combo in D&D...

    D&D 5E Bag of Beans killed 2 PCs, solo bosses suck, and where to go from here....

    1. PC #1 is now a greater zombie (Tales from the Yawning Portal) in service to the mummy lord. I would keep the artifact on the greater zombie. 2. The mummy lord uses his divination spell to find the nearest ruins or burial ground. He animates any corpses he finds to create more undead...

    D&D 5E Fun things to do at a rodeo?

    If there is a bard in the party then you can have dueling musical instruments like in the movie Deliverance or the song The Devil Went Down to Georgia. If the bard wins then his opponent transforms from a humanoid into either a devil or djin and curses before disappearing into a cloud of smoke...

    Why do Americans pronounce centaurs "centars"???

    Appalachian English is closer to Shakespearean English than that modern RP stuff you do in the old country. Maybe there is a user near the Blue Ridge Mountains that can settle this pronunciation question for us before this thread goes nukular?

    D&D 5E Managing Minionmancy

    Sly Flourish's mob damage calculator Sly Flourish has talked about this a lot. He uses average HP for each minion and calculates their attacks and damage as a mob. I played a circle of the shepherd druid online and the other players said it wasn't a problem. The DM didn't like it though...

    D&D 5E How does “optimization” change the game?

    An unoptimized party leads to DMs complaining about the five minute adventuring day where the party insists on resting after every encounter. The DM will also complain about whack-a-mole healing of downed characters. An optimized party allows for the standard 6-8 encounters per adventuring day...

    D&D 5E Proposed Fix for Whack-a-Mole Healing

    You can move it 60 feet with a bonus action and it is regained after a short or long rest.

    D&D 5E Review/Critique Soul Gems for 5E.

    It's similar to the Phantom rogue's Tokens of the Departed. With that feature the soul tokens created by the phantom rogue from a dying creature's spirit give advantage on constitution and death saving throws and allows a use of the rogue's Wails from the Grave feature for free on a successful...

    D&D 5E Proposed Fix for Whack-a-Mole Healing

    Circle of Shepherd druid's Unicorn Spirit (a second level ability) plus healing word will restore an additional hit points equal to the druid's level to anybody within 30 feet. It only takes a bonus action to set up the Unicorn Spirit and then another bonus action healing word each turn. It is...

    D&D 5E Proposed Fix for Whack-a-Mole Healing

    Your comment I really enjoyed your comments as it is apropos to our DM's current homebrew campaign and I am eagerly awaiting to see if CCS responds to a four year old thread. 🧟‍♂️ I'm not sure that is true if you look at any street brawl or gun fight recorded on YouTube and it's definitely...

    Need some refugee bickering ideas (Solved)

    D&D 5E Assaying Immersive Rests (updated)

    If you want more immersive rests then I suggest requiring one use of a healers kit per hit die restored on a short rest or breather as you call it. Angry DM needs a good editor. His stuff is so long and meandering that it is unreadable.

    D&D 5E The best solution for longswords

    Out of curiosity, did you include a finesse weapon with reach other than the whip which gets crappy damage? Edit:. And that is a simple weapon for non- martial classes?

    D&D 5E Best Magic Initiate spell for a scout Rogue

    If you insist on going with Magic Initiate then I suggest Gift of Alacrity for a 1d8 bonus to initiative for eight hours. I think a better option would be Crossbow expert, hand crossbow, and a riding horse. You'll get two chances to hit your sneak attack, 60 foot movement, and a free dash or...
