    Requesting advice on fighter/cleric for Avernus

    Hi guys, I'm playing in my first 5e campaign (Descent into Avernus) and would like some opinions on picking up two or three levels of Cleric for my Hill Dwarf Battlemaster Fighter. I was at 5th level with a 16 STR and 14 WIS and were told by the DM that we've reached 6th level right before...

    D&D 5E Paladin, How Are You Righteous?

    I agree with your main point, but it could be fun to role play a reluctant holy warrior that obeys the letter of his diety's commands but not the spirit because he disagrees with the goal. Kind of like Jonah, the prophet swallowed by the whale, who resisted warning the people of Ninevah to...

    News Digest for the Week of January 3

    Excluding people who express views that are shared by at least a third to one half the voters in a country is not a diverse and inclusive policy.

    News Digest for the Week of January 3

    Yes, it is obviously a satirical statement, just as Jonathan Swift's "Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick" was satire. Robinette is not a Nazi and calling him one is hate...

    Robinette should not have apologized or resigned for engaging in obvious hyperbole and satire. If anyone should resign it's Aughtry for failing to live up to his own code of conduct in caving in to hate speech and discrimination.

    D&D 5E Quarterstaff, shield and polearm master

    Here is an article from a HEMA instructor stating that, "arm-strapped shields also allow you to use the shield hand to hold things to some extent, such as the rungs of a siege ladder or the haft of a polearm." How is using a shield strapped to your arm (heater shield/some rodella) different...

    D&D General Pick a Theme

    Vikings because I want a sword & sorcery, low magic campaign. Eberron would be last on my list. I wouldn't want to be a pirate but a privateer would be ok. What is the best armor in your Egypt campaign? I would want to be a Dwarven cavalier wielding a bronze hammer and riding in a chariot...

    D&D General Advice how grandparents would force player take on familiy business

    Well that sounds better. I would suggest you have either an NPC, or better yet, another player say, "Hey, you keep getting accused of larceny every time you go home. What do you think that's all about?" And if he goes off in the wrong direction then have the NPC or player say, "Hmm, have you...

    D&D General Advice how grandparents would force player take on familiy business

    I think that's a horrible way to manipulate a player and will probably backfire. I think a better way would be to make the family the victim in which only the character can help. Perhaps word of his family's troubles and request for his assistance can come from an NPC he admires. If the...

    Dragonlance What do you want from a Dragonlance 5e?

    I want a Dragonlance movie tie in with any re-release and licensed Dragonlance Super Big Gulp cups from 7-11. Why not re-release the War of the Lance modules?

    Superhero Media: How much longer?

    The current movies are based on story lines from past comics that sold very well and gets old fans excited. Judging by comic book sales, the publishers aren't releasing new stories that people want to buy. So when the old story lines run out, the new movies won't have anything to sell.

    Best Licensed RPG: Discuss the Best Adaptation of a Movie/Book to an RPG that You've Ever Played!

    I'm going way back to the 80's and say James Bond 007 was the best RPG adapted from a book/movie that I've ever played.

    D&D General Why do you play non-human races?

    For me it's this and I'm a horrible role player. Playing a fantasy race helps remind me to play as a character and not as myself.

    Your Experience with VTT - Free or Paid?

    I'm in a paid game on Roll20. The going rate is about $12 per session. I can skip Chick-fil-A once a week to justify it. In fact, I'm gonna call it my D&D diet. :) We are 12 weeks in and the game seems to be going strong. We lost one player who flaked, one to life/work balance (he was also...

    D&D 5E How often do you use tool proficiencies?

    The halfling chef in our party has used his cooking utensils to help us gain back more HP on a short rest. I've tried to use my masonry proficiency to search for traps or help our rogue with his perception checks for traps and secret doors. This website has done a lot to try and make tool...

    D&D General Too many cultists

    How about gypsies? They can have the elements of a cult (fanatical loyalty to the clan) and a criminal organization. They could be a foe in some adventures or provide rumors, gossip, or services and goods not available from more law abiding shopkeepers.

    What could a scientist in my Star Wars RPG be researching or working on?

    I want to know what the OP finally decided on after seven months. If he's still looking for something, may I suggest galaxy-wide algorithmic decay: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34497501-the-corroding-empire
