    D&D 5E things I changed for my game

    I am running a game for two people and have added or removed a few features, what are your thoughts? 1. No feats allowed, variant humans instead get +2 +2, these may not be stacked, but may be split up 2. rogue subclasses were changed: thief: second story work: gives a flat out climb speed in...

    Table rules and ideas, any opinions?

    they aren't really commands, more or less a list of what would get under my skin. In character monty python jokes are so overdone and so damn boring that I refuse to ever watch that movie. The list is more or less just a way for people to have a grasp of what I expect, plus I also wrote this...

    Table rules and ideas, any opinions?

    the first section is the mechanical rules, rules that directly affect the game, as such, these rules are not permanent until finalized: 1.short rests are now 24 hours, long rests are one week. Characters can take a quick rest of eight hours to gain effects of a short rest, but any HP recovery...

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    Few more things I PLAN ON MODIFYING I will never use these for new players unless they are absolutely okay with it. Remarkable athlete is terrible, I trashed it and gave the champion a better ability called unstoppable juggernaut The champion adds half his proficency bonus to his damage rolls...

    Horror & Intrigue: PATHFINDER Releases Of 2016

    to be completely honest I was attempting to end the derail and was attempting to use my brain when I was about to fall asleep. I just hope paizo eventually buys 5e and we all end up happy.

    Horror & Intrigue: PATHFINDER Releases Of 2016

    well, they could start a new system, like any sane person would do, as 3.5 is so flawed and broken that I would never try it on new players.

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    Well, I was supposed to meet my group at the local gaming shop, but my grandmother didn't get home until two and I was supposed to be there at one, the only way I would of gotten there would be to have my grandfather drive me and he smokes, I HATE cigarette smoke so much.

    Horror & Intrigue: PATHFINDER Releases Of 2016

    I am sorry for derailing this so badly, but in my opinion, they should have never made a player companion and a setting line, that is bloat, the books past the advanced players guide aside from ultimate equipment and MAYBE unchained are just bloat.

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    Uh, thats literally the description for the sorcerer mate, like, straight out of the players handbook. Rereading the warlock page says lots about research and study though, so its an INT caster that has a book wide typo in my opinion.

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    Er, kinda. However, it doesn't matter how great a person you are if you are making a deal with a deity level person, you need to be able to work an agreement out with them without screwing yourself over, hence intelligence makes more sense. PLUS charisma has too many casters already.

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    Quick question. Why is the warlock charisma based? There is no in game explaination and I would like one as it seems to be more intelligence based, also what pathfinder deities work well and what ones don't?

    Horror & Intrigue: PATHFINDER Releases Of 2016

    I only play D&D 5e now because of the fact pathfinder is so bloated and overcomplicated, but I still adore the setting and use the deities in my campaign, the world I use is a more cohesive version of golarion with a few bits removed. I even kept the hellknights, so im probably STILL going to...

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    ehh, its not that big of a deal. I do plan on getting more dice but I only want dice that are in a set and are pretty to look at. My guinea pig is rolling my gunmetal grey with gold numbering D20 die around on my desk right now.

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    well, I only have three D6 and well, I USED to play pathfinder, I own a few of the books but it just became too expensive to get all of the main line books. I like D&D 5e cause im already on top of it. I had fun with pathfinder, but it got too clunky for me. Im gonna just walk in the gaming...

    D&D 5E [GUIDE] Playing Dice with the Universe: A Slant Guide to Wild-Magic Sorcerer

    advice: Don't ever write a guide if you use the word dorf or elfieboots, because I felt like vomiting after I saw dorf, the guide is unreadable as well, please use correct terms as well, I mean no insult or harm to you as a person. Only telling you that guides should be professionally written...

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    Well, we don't ALLOW feats and not every class is MAD, however, everyone likes thieves tools and its either a skill OR a set of tools, just tools seem to be the more universal option, as traps and locks are annoying to deal with. If anything it works fine, and to bold italic, she wasn't meant to...

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    Well, the thing is, we live in the age of computer screens, video games and eletronic noisemakers, brand new D&D players are rather uncomfortable playing theater of the mind style as they do not have visual aids, I use a tactical battlemap and minis to help remind them that they can move and...

    D&D 5E Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    This is less in game advice and more I am a broke seventeen year old who got paid fourty dollars advice. What should I grab for my game next? I am eying the sword coast adventurers guide, but the amount of fluff to crunch ratio is a turn off, since I use a custom universe inspired by golarion...
