Dwarf "Leeroy-Jenkins" careful diplomatic plan Or: A tale of utter desperation

"She can scare us dead?!" [D&D]

This is a neat idea: constant movement, not nitro.

First, it looks like a cool scene: ambushed while climbing a steepy snowy mountain. Here's my take on this. I'd use the 5% chance you suggested (1 on a d20) as a "complication meter". Instead of stacking the odds against one character, I'd stack against the entire party. For every X...

Under the Great Owl wings. or We're not eating their eggs!

They came from the sea...

That's a neat idea. I'll put to use next session. I recently started a 6-player game and I'm mining advices for running a large (by my standards) group. I could tell from sessions 0 and 1 it'll be a lot more taxing for me than my previous 3-player game (still active). I wasn't planning on such...

Oh, yeah. The designers kept a legacy that made no sense by 5E standards (like some other stuff). After a brief look at the standard array many years ago, I've switched to +2 fixed/+1 any, as @Crimson Longinus mentions, and it worked like a charm. Never went back. +2 any/+1 fixed is nice...

Not enough silver weapons, guys!

I know FR is the current safe bet for the setting they'll revisit, but I've being thinking about Eberron. Keith Baker is quite active at DM's Guild, and perhaps they're revisit the setting to ramp up the sales. I mean, FR sells well through the annual adventure paths already. It is a wild...
