There were no Drow in Krynn, that I've ever heard of. Dalamar (and other evil elves) were called Dark Elves, but they weren't black-skinned, underdark dwellers. That is, if my 10+ year old knowledge of DL is correct..

Psionics Handbook - I love psionics. I haven't been able to play as a Psion since the original 3e version. I used the Thrall power on another PC (who was being a dick) and succeeded. His character actually ended up being far more effective in the game after being forced to follow my orders...

I'd much rather have the feat, thus my complaint. I don't like having to choose between the two. The thing I like least, however, is missing an attack roll by 1 or 2 points, and with Bounded Accuracy, there aren't a lot of other ways to raise your hit/DC.

My opinion may not be the most popular on this matter. Feats were one of my (admittedly few) complaints about 5e. Unless you roll stupendously (especially folks using the SA), it's going to be some time before you should really be getting feats, in most cases. Getting your main stat to 20...

I'm all for ways to buy/trade/sell off magic items, but I also want to stay in tune with the 5e theme of no MagicMarts. What I decided to do was apply a little bit of economics to it. Magic Shop - A huge city (like Waterdeep) may have a few shops where one can buy magical items. They're the...

I see Str and Dex swapped. When I think of a city's strength, I see an enemy smashing themselves against the walls. When I think of them attacking, I see them quickly putting a force together for a precise strike.

Double Post. :(

It can largely depend on how intricate you want it to be, but letting the PCs control the taxes/resources and see to the basic needs of their kingdoms can be fun. It can also open up a lot of story options. "The north road is being attacked by brigands, and to the south are undead. We have...

I'm teaching my kids to play D&D with 5e. They've been after me for awhile to learn, and I finally said "you know what, I'll give it a shot". I'd been a little worried they weren't old enough, you know? I didn't want my son in particular to play his character like a chaotic neutral Superman...

I like to optimize, but I don't like to take it so far that I'm Hulk Hogan to the rest of the group's Hacksaw Jim Duggan. I've just always kinda liked a shield-bashing, S&B tank character as a concept, but without a lot of feats from splatbooks, shields were just dreadful in 3.5 (never got into...

That's kinda how I saw it, since you're spending two feats, but.. since it's my character, I wanted some fresh insight to make sure it wasn't going to be too OP or ridiculous before pitching it to my DM. Adding Tavern Brawler as a third feat to make this work is just too much. Personally, I...

I know that, according to the rules now, it's not a weapon. Yet, the multiple past incarnations of it being a weapon, along with it being a very effective weapon in real life, is probably why I hoped against hope that someone could justify it.

Human fighter (variant), level 4. Two weapon fighting style + Dual Wielder feat at level 1. Add shield mastery feat at 4. Could you use your bonus attack with your shield? If so, how much damage would it do? Also if so, would you still gain your Shield's AC bonus when attacking?

Appreciate all of the advice. If the group goes with the cheap option, I'll go with the ship only. If they go the expensive route, then I'll let it encompass those items and objects within.

Basically what the title says. Is there a way to cast nondetection or a similar spell on a Galleon, and is it able to be made permanent? The target of nondetection is "creature or object touched", but I don't think that object can be a colossal-sized vessel. Can it? I may very well be...

Good call, and of course you're right. I don't want to use actual game time hammering nails and building houses. I see the PCs contributing more in the way of dealing with threats and perhaps bringing in resources, but will leave the actual menial work to the commoners and craftsmen. Much...

My real life game sessions are on hold for a bit as one of the players move. I'd decided to start an online D&D thing, in this AOL RP group I've been around for like 10+ years. This is currently in the design stages. This will start at level 1, though may involve multiple adventuring parties...

A lot of great suggestions here, and I appreciate them all. I talked to him about it, laid out my side, and he was fine with not wanting to roll a munchkin'd out Psion. We came to an agreement. I will roll up the cohort, and I've decided it will fit heavily with the character's Faith...

In a perfect world, I'd agree with you. I tend to run a rough game. I allow the players just about any build, any (rules legal) trick they can justify with a book, simply so that I can go nuts with designing hard, but rewarding encounters. So, while they'll accept me saying no.. the player in...

First off, I'd like to start by saying that I don't want to ban the Leadership feat. Let's just get that out of the way. It fits for my game, because the PCs are flying around in an Airship (and are going to try and create a base) that really needs a crew/bodies. The followers minus a cohort...
