Leave snik dead. They will move on and name a future familiar snik in honour of their first slave.

Devils fork is another one I saw. Rocks dropped from Urds is another.

Re-skinning is on a gradient, there's the orc with lipstick reskin (no really, its just a very angry barmaid) and then there is the take a base monster and convert it with different abilities to what you want. Depends I suppose on your definition of reskin. I do this all the time with...

I changed mine to be a bit different. The bar fight happened, but they didn't go to the manor to finish the fight. There was a good old fashioned shootout/duel in the middle of town, when the reinforcements showed up. There was some jawin' then it went downhill. Townsfolk diving in barrels...

On of the historical advantages of a weapon with the shape of a trident is that the fork can be used to trap or block attacks, arms swinging etc... but you really don't take that into account with a trident. They were used by Roman gladiators and in some Korean martial arts. Also military...

So I have some weapons issues to ask about and wonder what the community here thinks about them. The first has probably been gone over. What is the point of a trident? I mean can't it be made even a little bit different from a spear in a good way? I understand morningstar/warpick...

The characters loose a fight but instead of a TPK they are left for dead and thrown out in the trash (to the elemental plane of air) and find themselves in a strange land with distrustful villagers. Then the BBEG who beat them up and left them for dead out shows up and the party must defend the...

I laughed when I read this... I'm doing almost the exact same thing! Both with the Keep on the Borderlands basis and the Lost mine adventure all with a Western feel! However the Keep exists, outside of town as a monk school of eladrin who aren't overly open with the population of Phandalin for...

Elves use longswords because of the artistic component. Swordplay is an art form as is magic. A longsword equipped eldritch knight is the epitome of elvish warrior culture because it imitates Corellion. Intelligence, dexterity and strength combined in a spectacular whole. Elves don't value...

Horrible scars can manifest in many different ways, including a bad Charisma score. Which may be the reason I can't intimidate, people just feel sorry for me.....etc... But a mechanical bonus comes with a mechanical cost IMHO. Drow don't get 120' darkvision for free any more, and neither...

Emphasis mine. I loved minions at lower levels as well. It feels like it takes something out of the game when you just kill 2 goblins at 1st level, or 4 kobolds etc... It significantly reduces the potential complexity of an encounter, when the weedy kobolds were there for flavour when the...

I've played a number of editions but have mostly played 4E with proper rules (as I was to young to fully understand the older editions specifics). My gaming group has a lot of tactical gamers in there (Game-workshop junkies) so the miniature combat was relatively quick and easy for us, and the...

There are a couple of ways to go with this relative to actual history and the simplified nature of combat in DnD. Historically muskets, arquebus and pistols were much worse that their crossbow and longbow equivalents up to the invention of rifles and automatic weapons when used by a trained...
