    I had no idea Fog Cloud was so amazing.

    D&D 5E 5e Rules for creatures occupying the same space?

    A swarm that looses half it's HP can't regenerate it's hp as much of the swarm is presumably dead. I'd suggest that a swarm could only be occupied at this point since it has diminished in size.

    D&D Movie/TV What would a good D&D movie be like?

    Can't be campy. Hot chicks. Really good thespian actors for NPC parts, famous ones minus Patrick Stewart (he's done to many). Young, No-Name actors as the main cast. A love interest. Awesome battles. A halfling in a sequel (or people will talk crap and compare to LoTR, which I loved but could...

    Right thanks. I have yet to see magic items with many of those restrictions hmm...

    D&D 5E Magical Item Usage

    The thief subclass has a talent that allows them to use magic items regardless of restriction. Does this mean attunement? If a barbarian were to try and use a wand of magic missiles how would that work? Set a DC for the item and make an int/arcana check? What is a good scale for DC? Rarity...

    D&D 5E Cost of Spell Scrolls

    I saw the one that goes by rarity but it seems odd that all scrolls would be the same price for different levels.

    D&D 5E Cost of Spell Scrolls

    I dont recall spell scroll cost from the ph or dmg so I am counting cantrips as lvl .5 i have been using: 200*Spell Level for scroll costs. When it comes to spells like "Wish" 1800 gp seems cheap. I've considered doubling the multiplier each tier. Does anyone have a system that works?

    D&D 5E Wizard Spell Selection

    Know your spells. I hate it as DM when wizards are slow. You had 10 minutes to decide but all you can think about is fireballs? You can ask for specific spell advice but what you should really do is learn the spells and decide on your personal flare. As long as you are mindful of the situation...

    D&D 5E Do DEAFENED creatures take THUNDER damage?

    If there is disorientation coupled with the effect then I would give advantage on the roll. Most RAW thunder damage doesn't have that.

    D&D 5E D&D without the Cleric

    I do a healing surge variant. 1 combat action to use a single surge. Out of combat there is no limit. Short rest regains 1/4 surge and and long regains 1/2. I did this to encourage anyone who wants to play a cleric not to prepare cure wounds. I am vocal regarding this rule at my table. I feel it...

    D&D 5E Need help flavoring a troll so it is unrecognizeable - Princes of the Apoc

    All of these are great. Troll Variants especially. I didn't want to make it too obscure because we are playing in the Forgotten Realms and trolls are (from the books I have read) fairly well documented. Elemental variants also play extremely well into the theme of the game and if I don't use...

    D&D 5E Need help flavoring a troll so it is unrecognizeable - Princes of the Apoc

    Last week my encounters group spanned 9 people. A few level 3's and some 2's. I ran a drow encounter wuth an ettin. I downed 3 but it wasn't fatal. I ran a calculator and discovered they could take a CR 5. Since they are traveling with a caravan i was thinking a troll encounter would make sense...

    Unearthed Arcana Psionics Hits Unearthed Arcana

    We allowed one in game since the player was having problems with lock/druid (new to d&d). So now he is druid psionist and it is frickin powerful...might be OP. We are flexible and shaping the class to the character and an extensive background so flavor aside I see this as a fun class.

    D&D 5E What is/should be the Ranger's "thing"?

    Ranged druid is OP and I always have them in games. They are the bane of my existence as a DM. Do soooo much damage. I want to see more beastmaster but it really just seems akward with the action to attack. Is it mostly for Melee rangers Drizzt style with the help action? Great flavor but hardly...

    D&D 5E Psionics relates to Ki

    A monk goes "Hi-Ya!" With every kick or punch. A psionic goes "Womph Womph" continually like a heavy rolling bass.

    D&D 5E GM's - How do you handle identifying magical items?

    Identify scrolls work great in MMOs and computer games as money sinks but I'm finding I don't like it in PnP or even online "PnP" games. The three main reasons are that items are a pain to track (especially potions and scrolls), it detracts from the epic of conquest, and in some cases detracts...

    D&D 5E Most powerful class in 5e

    The most powerful character is the sneaky player who doesn't show his power all that often. All characters have a weakness. Show yourself to be too strong i.e., 20 dex, 20 ac halfling ranger/rogues and I will target you and immobilize you if not kill you outright. I have a player who has this...
