    Worst character possible

    You'll have a good time. Every time I've made an intentionally flawed character it has brought out great ideas and roleplaying. The Rogue with flatulence made me chuckle.

    awkward situation

    I have to agree with ^^^. The party is f'd. Negotiating or waiting is way out of character for Duergar. The Duergar would immediately have formed ranks and started to dismantle the blockade. Hell, I'm surprised the clerics and wizards haven't already started manipulating the stone to create...

    Should fighters be skill monkeys?

    Also, don't forget that backgrounds aren't static. You can create any background you want. Create a cool backstory and give him Athletics or anything else.

    How do you handle loot from enemies with mighty or evil weapons?

    Let the PC use it. The demon calls the most powerful gnoll around to retrieve the artifact. Constant night ambushes ruin long rests, etc. I'd try to run it so the PC didn't know the flail was calling in gnolls constantly and at the worst moments. Finally get to the BBEG, well, a small pack...

    Just to clarify: Tortles are XGtE

    Excellent. Thanks for the info. We'll proceed to make some kensei/fighter hybrids. Or maybe throw a kensei/artificer in there.

    Just to clarify: Tortles are XGtE

    So some friends and I want to run the totally original idea of playing 4 tortles and a kobold monk at the next CON. Of course a few of the tortles want the Kensei monk. So just to clarify, are tortles considered a part of XGtE or ToA?

    D&D 5E New to 5e, advice re Monk/Bard?

    Bruv, do what ever you want. Google 'Monk build guide 5e' and there will be examples of how to multi-class. Be advised though, as mentioned above, even the guides will be wary of a monk/bard combo. BUT it will show you how to build it if you want

    D&D 5E Ramping up the Challenge in 5e Combats

    I have to agree with the 'play the monsters better' dialogue. Even if you're not that tactical, read up on monster tactics and apply the basic strategies. For instance, this blog helped run many goblin etc encounters. http://themonstersknow.com/goblin-tactics/ Sure, goblins are battle...

    What do I need to know for my first AL game?

    You can only start with lvl 1 characters in AL. Although, if you hit lvl 4 in the AM, WoTC will let you spend some DT to lvl up to lvl 5 so you can play tier II games. Pretty easy to do at a Con.

    What do I need to know for my first AL game?

    How many games are you playing Aco175? You can't gen tier II characters but if you start playing early, you'll have a tier II pc by the late evening games.

    Season 8 will switch to the Organized Play rules presented in XGTE

    I have a story. Last summer I attended a Con and on the last day ended up at a Tier II table for a 4+ hour module. It was mostly RP'ing and at the end our table was awarded 800xp per person. Everyone felt a little 'jipped'. It was fun but I attend Cons for the atmosphere, leveling up, or...

    D&D 5E The Unlucky Guy

    Our rogue always passes all his stealth checks until he's right up on the enemy. By himself. He'll stealth up, get information and then fail when leaving. Every... single... time.

    Pets/mounts in AL

    A couple of things happened that I have questions for. After missing a couple of sessions due to the Thxgiving holiday I came back to my weekly AL group and found out that a couple of players had pets. Ferret for the rogue, stuff like that. What are the AL guidelines for keeping/training a...

    Over Half Of New D&D Players Got Into Game From Watching Online Play

    I know I'm getting into this late BUT I know where you're coming from. I played all through HighSchool then stopped. A couple years ago I got invited to a game and have been playing ever since. Every player besides me started because of Critical Role. So I owe my gaming somewhat to CR. That...
