Out of the Abyss: human female druid, human female warlock (Undying Light patron) - these are twin sisters half-orc Battlemaster fighter 2 halfling bards - one Valor, one Lore (best friends from Waterdeep) halfling monk half elf ranger Princes of the Apocalypse: human Paladin half-elf rogue...

I've tweaked them - added a Concussion injury, primarily - and we enjoy using them. It's added a lot of flavor to the game. The table works both ways. (we also use a Fumble table for critical misses. One player runs a Ranger who always seems to break a bowstring every other session. Got to the...

DM is allowing me to mod my ranger to the UA version the next session, to get a feel for the changes. Or course, the big question is trying to schedule the next session...

I don't use the optional flanking rules - there are other ways to grant advantage on attack (Help, buffs, etc.). Makes for faster combat, too.

My 3rd level cleric got critted by Cyanwrath in HotDQ - he had 1 hp at the time, and took just the right amount of damage to fall below negative max hp. Basically turned into a pile of smoking ashes. As DM, I killed a 3rd level Druid in Feathergale Spire. Very dramatic. I had the Earth Cult...

58. Tells players certain races are not allowed for campaign; then lets their significant other/best friend roll that race for the same campaign.

4-5 hours. Or until the Red Vines run out.

The only NPC's left are the Quaggoth and Stool (the Myconid). Sluushar and Buppido died in the Kuo-Toa settlement when Deomgorgon attacked. The rest were either killed during the jailbreak or opted to stay in Velkenvelve. When the PC's leveled up, I added one level's worth of HP to the NPC's...

Okay, this is slightly off-topic, but an encounter during OotA tonight will definitely be adding to the fun for my group's PCs. They successfully hatched four hook horrors, and each one imprinted on a character. One named his "Captain", and another named theirs "Button". The other two haven't...

I like that idea. The ooze has no incentive to break a grapple.

I'm running Out of the Abyss tonight, and might have the PC's go thru The Oozing Temple sidequest. Black puddings, according to MM, are immune to acid, cold, lightning & slashing damage; and immune to blinded, charmed, deafened, exhausted, frightened and prone conditions. Shouldn't they also be...

Mine is a lvl 5 Halfling Warlock named Tommelin "Tomes" Underboot - kind of a nerdy, bookish Sage background kind of halfling. While studying ancient demonic lore in Waterdeep, he was tricked into signing a pact with the cambion Lorcan, and is rather reluctant to fully use his warlock powers...

I've been playing a ranger in HotDQ and the DM's been forgetting about the drop-shield-grab-bow action - the DM is going to start enforcing it next session. Which is fine because my ranger's MC'd as a cleric, so I'll cast Shield as a bonus action as required. But as far as ignoring rules - no...

Interesting build! I have a question about Constricting Veil. The stat block says the Magnitude=d4, but in the description, it reads: When you hit a creature with a shaper steel weapon attack, you can expend one d6 magnitude shaper die to cover your target’s eyes in constricting bands of steel...

DM'd PotA Saturday night. Big battle at Feathergale Spire. [background] Party decided to infiltrate Air Cult, and had won the trust of Thurl Merroska. To prove their worthiness, he instructed them to sneak into Sacred Stone Monastery and return with the head of Hellenrae. They did. Miraculously...

As player, none yet. Have 2 in HofDQ and 1 in OotA - all have come close, but Spare the Dying saved them. As a DM, killed off two, in Legacy of the Crystal Shard. 2nd lvl monk got surprised by a yeti, hit by both attacks (one was a crit), then grabbed for max cold damage. Negative double damage...

I went with Mage Hand, Spare the Dying (no cleric in my group), and Minor Illusion. I avoided Guidance for the same reason Ganders gave - concentration cantrip that would cancel out Hex.

Ront: died fighting Quaggoth during breakout T&T: they bolted as soon as the cell opened Sarith & Jimjar: left behind Eldeth: killed during escape attempt
