I just checked out Dmminion Lite for Android. The Pay version looks whiz long term since I can edit monsters etc. The GUI works pretty well on my GS4 so far. I managed to load a monster into an encounter but I can't seem to change it's hit points. This would go along way to replacing battle...

The spear was a low point in the PHB for me. I'd rule that the spear can be used as bludgeoning within 5' and piercing at a reach of 10'. I'd also make it versatile 1d8/1d10 @ range to allow for shield wearing versatility.

Fighters get two extra feats. Lucky = advantage 3/day on any d20 Ritual Caster = Spellz':!&!: Right there you have two feats that let you still push your fighter to obscene limits of specialization yet kick ass outside of combat. The difference with other classes is you can specialize in a...

We have a crit fail and crit hit table. 1d1000. roll a 1 and another 1? You die. It will only happen a few years for each player gaming 1 time a week with 20 attack rolls each week.

I think you touched on what most people playing PnP want from D&D. We want to be able to be up and running in 20 minutes but to truly explore our creative side we need to be able to have the option for full control and randomization. Taking from the quote about "rebuilding your favorite...

My Monster Manual started (rapidly) falling apart at last Wednesday's group. I've had it since February? Less than 6 months and it does get used but not that heavily.

Is this just a combat game? I'm excited for this but the people I DM for love the RP element of the game as much as the combat. That means playing the shop keepers instead of having pre-recorded one liners. I might play it but I might just stick with roll20 and live action and keep playing...

I think it is pretty lame that she's enabling them. I'd find a new group. It hurts if you've been adventuring with them but think about the adventure you could be having. You're still adventuring right? Lots of people would rather start over at level 1 and have fun than continue to be annoyed at...

Monks aren't exactly OP in combat so I think the DM should be able to do anything for unarmed strikes that is done for weapons. At many monk levels it is just flavor anyways. A 1d6 finesse weapon or a glove that gives +'s is just fine. You can also mix up some gloves for different damage types...

So many great responses guys thanks! I think working the world around the players known actions is the best route no matter what the character sheet says. When I find he acts towards the alignment on the principles of individual freedom and chaos e.g., saving the orphans from the orphanage he...

Running a Dragonlance game and a certain player is decidedly evil. If the job is to assassinate someone, he will assassinate them. If it is to save a kitten then he'll save the kitten. This is all done for the right price. The problem is he stands by the fact he is chaotic neutral and can do...

Monks get a lot up front in base. Shadow and Hand add great diversity but the third option uses too mamy ki for minor effects. Thus the elemental monk is playing mostly base monk skills and will appear same/gimped to the other two.

Barbarian in my game raged then jumped over a 7' foot table (Athletics roll) and launched a javelin at a gargoyle striking it solidly in the back. Any character who passes the right checks can do this. The more extravagant the more chances for crit fail and wasted moves/actions. I dont see the...

Champion - boring epeen waxer Battlemaster - worth playing Eldritch Knight - sh*tty wizard That's how I do it!

No restrictions IMO Clue in Tron could be considered lawful evil and path of devotion and a Paladin dedicated to an evil god of trickery would work just as well but be chaotic. Ancients could be titans, gods and elemental forces so anything works. Vengeance? Same. The power of 5e is...

Wow those are awesome! I really like the layout of Cragmaw and cant wait to use it again. My dragonlance group never played LMoP so it will definatley make a comeback. To bad they are still in Palanthas. The threat meter is super cool. Did you male it visual so they got more and more stealthy or...

A) I was running a pre-gen for the adventurer's league and several players joined my party late. They obviously out-classed the adventure because I had more than 6 players and some were max level for the adventure. There was a fight in a swamp with three giant toads. The players were in a boat...

I would totally act like Justin Bieber. Dont give an F, show up at the king's ball in a wife beater and do burn outs in my ferrari f40 wagon drawn by 8 nightmares all over Beverly Hills Shire!

I dislike "Good and Evil" concepts because mechanically it supports ethos but for characters it boils down to individual ethics. It's probably one of the worst part about D&D and I hope things like traits, backgrounds, flaws etc. get expanded since they offer so much more enrichment to a...

Would have been a nice poll. I fall under BM > ToTM. My players just seem to prefer BMs. I draw my maps haphazardly during live games. So what if dimensions aren't perfect? Momentum is key here. I use ToTM but as previously mentioned, small interactions. Is BM slow? Yes. That is why I offer...
