    D&D 5E Help With fixing the BBEG, after he got destroyed in 3 rounds

    So if I am dead set on using class abilities, make them more powerful? Like the Magic Missile Storm?

    Thanks for the reply. I'll do away with the Bard levels, add hit points, some damage.

    D&D 5E Help With fixing the BBEG, after he got destroyed in 3 rounds

    Swap Tenser's for Otherworldly Guise? The party immediately called him a coward afterwards, but he learned firsthand about what the party can do. It was a lesson for me as a DM regardless.

    That's immensely cool and helpful. Thanks very much!

    Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that he creates duplicates? That ask the party for help destroying their creator, but are really sleeper agents? If not, that's still extremely cool.

    D&D 5E Help With fixing the BBEG, after he got destroyed in 3 rounds

    I think I made a terribly written block. His abilities often overlap, and aside from his deconstructing touch, he has little form of offense that genuinely may hurt a level 13 party. I may swap Tenser's for something like Tasha's Otherworldly Guise, to grant him flight, an AC boots, immunity to...

    Completely agree. He gets the extra 4d6 on all but the Barb(who joined later, so isn't marked with vengeance), so the Barb presents a huge threat to him(hence Forcecage to separate). So I should look closer to CR 20 monsters.

    D&D 5E Help With fixing the BBEG, after he got destroyed in 3 rounds

    Both Bel and Zariel want the characters dead, so that's not really hard to do. He is going to strike in future, when the party don't want him to(mwa ha ha), such as after Zariel strikes against the Paladin. The Paladin in question, has like a +13 to hit, and I dread to think of the Barbarian(to...

    He would probably use Scrying to pick the worst possible time to fight the party. He would have his spells cast ahead of time, and since he no longer has his allies, would need another advantage.

    D&D 5E Help With fixing the BBEG, after he got destroyed in 3 rounds

    Thanks for such a detailed reply. I chose Forcecage, because going up against 4 party members is not gonna go well, and so it was a method to splitting up the party. The lack of magic items was a mistake, because aside from Mythcarver, he was at a serious disadvantage. Mythcarver was given...

    The Upside Down from Stranger Things could either be the Far Realm or a demiplane of dread to me

    Undead Warlock was insanely strong anyway when I tried it, and Wizards really hates the Undying Warlock for some(okay it's terrible)reason. The newer subclasses tend to be stronger anyway, so they should be good

    D&D 5E [Updated with cover!] The D&D Book Is.... Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft!

    I believe it's like Wildemount or Theros. It will have a quest or two, some subclasses, some lineages(races) and some details on running the demiplanes of dread

    Fair enough. It's a fairly weird thing to add to most campaigns anyway

    Really? Despite Van Richten travelling only to Barovia, and a guide to Ravenloft shouldn't really include other demiplanes, you could feasibly make you own demiplane of dread. And have a really cool horror campaign. Also, a common misconception I've found is that Shadowfell inhabitants directly...

    I've rarely played optimistic characters, so this is right up my street. Jolly Hexblood Druid here I come! I want to see my party flip out when the sweet twin of the Aasimar calls Lightning from the sky

    D&D General why do we not have an arcane half caster?

    I think they are classified as 1/3 casters, since they get spells at a third the rate(once every 3 levels whilst a Paladin gets a level of spellcasting every 2 levels.

    I'm personally more excited for the lineages. Was planning a Hexblood Druid, and it seems to be like Vampires, Hags and Undead Lineages refer to Dhampir, Hexblood and Revived. I'll definitely take it.

    D&D 5E Help With fixing the BBEG, after he got destroyed in 3 rounds

    Hello all. I’ve been running a game for a few friends, and am in a spot of bother. This might be a long post, since there is quite a bit of context for this, so I appreciate your patience. The party consists of a level 13 Dragonborn Zealot Barbarian, level 13 Aasimar Conquest Paladin, a Dusk...
