I put "almost never" from my own player perspective. In a small group of 4 players I think we can adhere to the rules with minimal disruption. As a DM my group has at a minimum 6 players and an average of 9 it is very difficult to follow the rules and keep everyone engaged. I'm constantly...

Oh snap! My group was considering moving from Roll20 to Fantasy Grounds but this is good news.

I think it depends if the statue is intentionally a cue. If the statue functions as the "tripwire" to allow access to a secret room or disarm a trap then at the DM's discretion there could be a perception check to see if there are any visual cues e.g., less dust settled where an appendage is...

I think it is that the average person (commoner statistics) will die to just about everything. Hit points is a very "meta" concept. As a DM the tiers are just something used to scale the difficulty of the encounter and/or subsequent encounters. From the Trap-Setter perspective much of the time...

Drag and Drop. Can you elaborate? The price for the books isn't competing with FG. It's the price for the miniatures and paints for the live game that compete with FG. That said, I also subbed to roll20. I'm aiming for current campaigns to be done when it ends (around Feb) and was thinking of...

I haven't so I clicked "No". "Haven't" mean's "Have not yet". One day I may click "Yes" because I want to run a Smurf campaign complete with J.J. Abrams lens flares, Michael Bay explosions & an M. Night Shamalanabanana twist that isn't a very good twist (Smurfette is a brunette) so people think...

I'm up in the air as well. I currently subscribe to Roll20. I've bought books, and DM AL so I get adventures. I bought all of Devin Knight's fantasy tokens a while back because I like his art style. I also buy figurines and I just started buying ones I can paint (and therefore bought all the...

I don't know what your DM shared with you or how close to the book he is staying so I won't spoil anything. As written; travel speed has a very large effect on a party's ability to survive in this module.

I like the system. Players stacking advantages discounts what the NPCs do to stack their advantage. I don't want to spend all my time answering questions anyways so someone can get a +4-10 on their roll. I want my games to be creative every round and I want them to flow. That said, I do give...

Healing is fun in MMO's where you can draw agro and can be just as fun if you draw agro for healing in D&D. Clerics come to my table and states "I'm not a healer". I say "OK Cool". If the party complains I tell them "He's a holy servant. That doesn't mean he's been granted the power to heal...

Hitler was lawful evil.

I would say no because I can fix this with a magic +great sword. Make it a quest. Make it a reward. Make it sentient and force rolls of some opposing action. For instance you can make a sword that has +'s based on tier of play. The damage from +'s more than makes up finesse. Make it so than in...

The forms are a "shift" so I can see the druid dying but the caveat is that despite a shift reformation to druid form doesn't account for a gaping axe wound and massive blood loss. In the name of fun I would choose either based on the availability of resurrection. If it is readily available...

Neuromancer *drops mic*

I say allow it. The world will place it's restrictions on their choices i.e., a tiefling in DL would likely be met with antagonistic actions no matter their alignment in any civilized area. They will have to work harder for it. The only hard requirement I have is for them to figure out how this...

I feel the same way. He is going to give in to his rage and kill people sure, but he won't be caught. I almost got one NPC killed but the group rolled 22 Charisma and he sheathed his weapon peacefully and grumbled a bit.

Goblins, Kobs and Skeles for sure. The balor idea is great but consider using a boss monster after the fight as well. Level 1 NPCs who take a hit from a goblin are going to be hurt. Emphasize a bugbear or hobgoblin's power by having him casually swipe at a goblin later on, crushing or...

I have 3 sorcs, a fighter, two rogues and a cleric in my game's group. A lot of firepower right? Sneak attack is great steady damage for rogues who get advantage but there are ways to remind rogues they are glass cannons. The sorcs are easy but rogues can have decent AC. 1. Extra NPCs. I...

I don't think he has one. IIRC the answer was "Just Chuck".

I think you just ran into the WotC automatic response bot is all. That or they're outsourcing to Mumbai. You have to admit though...that's a pretty impressive spell check it has.
