    D&D 5E First literary concept of the "Adventuring Party"?

    Tales of groups of individuals with varying skills going on adventures is older that written history itself every civilization or group of people have tales and folklore along those lines. The first instances could very well relate to stories that went along with Neanderthals' drawings on cave...

    D&D 5E Dilemmas and decisions - an experiment in melee combat choices

    I don't understand what 'Evade' does. Do you get 5 extra feet? Is your movement limited to 5' ? Any movement away from them should almost always move you out of their reach so do you just (almost) always get 'cover'? What do you mean by the get 'cover' do you mean half cover, three-quarter...

    D&D 5E The Multiclassing Poll!

    I would probably vote around a 2.5 or so. While the majority of characters aren't multiclassed it's by no means rare. I'd estimate maybe 25-30ish percent of characters multiclass in my experience. Sent from my XT1635-01 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E Should you always fail on a 1 and always succeed on a 20 for every d20 roll?

    See this whole thing is why I would prefer to play the game with a house rule I made. I do think there should be a chance your really unlucky and make a mistake or miraculously lucky and get that success for things however a 1/20 or 5% chance seems way to common to be incredibly/miraculously...

    D&D 5E Which 5E book is the best casual read?

    Seconding many of the others with recommending Volos or Scag as while I haven't actually bought them myself I've still has the chance to read through each of them some as well as seen many conversations about them they are more world lore books with a little bit of crunch in them where as the...

    D&D 5E Overpowered, Underpowered or Just Right

    It looks like others have addressed all your other concerns but no one has mentioned this so I figured I should bring it up just in case to prevent any potential misunderstandings. The swashbuckler's changes to sneak attack only add additional ways to the options a rogue has for gaining sneak...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Feats for Races

    A fan of this UA overall but what I really came here to say since it doesn't appear anyone else has mentioned/noticed it is that for some reason the URL for this PDF says SkillFeats instead of RacialFeats.

    D&D 5E Spell Cards for D&D 5E using Magic Set Editor (MSE)

    How is this supposed to work is this supposed to work? Is it supposed to add an existing set or create a new template or what? I've looked everywhere and it didn't create any sets, nor are there any new templates. I've downloaded it, put it in the data file and unzipped it but there hasn't been...

    D&D 5E Gust of wind vs breath weapon

    Personally I think I'd rule it as changing the type of area of effect for breath weapons. So as the two forces collide it causes them to swirl around at the point of impact (around the dragons mouth) Mechanically this would change a breath weapon from a line/ cone effect to a radius effect...

    Initiative house rule.

    Thanks for the replies everyone​- especially Blue for bringing up all the various things that might interact with this, some of which I hadn't considered. I don't know if I'll be using it or not yet. I'll have to think about it some more and possibly make some adjustments (and obviously...

    Initiative house rule.

    I've been thinking of adding a house rule to the game which gives initiative a bit more oomph while still keeping it fairly simple. Essentially initiative would now be a track from 1-20 with particularly high or low scores 'rolling over' for example if someone's invested some resources into...

    D&D 5E DM Help! My rogue always spams Hide as a bonus action, and i cant target him!

    pemerton Several times throughout this thread you've asked what the in fiction explanation of the elves hiding in the rain would be or the fluff. While there is no raw/official fluff as there isn't raw/official fluff for any of this I can tell you how I would personally fluff/explain it in My...

    D&D 5E Illusionist - is it as weak as it seems?

    A thought just came to mind rereading this thread that, while it's easy enough to avoid taking falling damage anyways; one way the illusory reality not causing damage could be useful is if you used that and made illusionary floor just above the real one you could fall hundreds or more feet and...

    D&D 5E In combat riding and movement

    Another thing to keep in mind for the people talking about what's possible in six seconds, and real life speeds is that the average person can sprint (dash) 135 in six seconds (15 mi/hr) which I can guarantee is possible as I've run atleast 20 mi/hr (180 ft/round)

    D&D 5E How might elven societies be different from the norm?

    I agree that trading over centuries sharing what they have and taking care of their possessions would be enough for elves to have some metal they use for things an alternative is a from of bio-metal. In pathfinder there is a kind of material called livingsteel. These trees suck up minerals over...

    D&D 5E What is the point of material components when Wish exists?

    There is also the fact if you need some lower level spell THIS ROUND but it takes too long to cast, wish has only a 1 action casting time.
