You can't "use up" your speed. If Dissonant Whispers forces you to move your speed using your reaction, that has no effect on your speed on your next turn - nor does it matter if you used all your speed on your previous turn.

Said fighter against AC 17 with Advantage would do 7*(6.3+15)*.64+(3+15)*.64 or 106.94 pts of damage. Without Advantage, he would do 7*(6.3+15)*..4+(3+15)*.64 or 66.4 pts of damage. If fighter was armed with Longsword & Shield, had Dueling, Shield Master, and Savage Attacker With Advantage, he...

Specifics would help, but by and large, I agree with iserith. PCs who go off alone, often pay the price for their recklessness. Why did the other players/characters leave him on his own? Did they think he could handle them all on his own?

This is not what the PHB says on page 190:

I would say that the reference to running water refers to fresh water, so salt water wouldn't hinder them. Vampires had to get to America somehow :)

(emphasis mine) This is the part that people are disagreeing with you on - there is nothing in the rules that says that the act of casting Counterspell would "interrupt", "inhibt", or "prevent" the caster from casting whatever spell s/he was trying to cast originally, as long as they had a hand...

I have tried spell point systems in AD&D, 2e, and others. As other posters have mentioned, they become problematic at some point, when the number of top tier spells you can cast starts to really unbalance things. The problem with spell point systems is that they still use the same recharge rate...

Ooh, good idea! In a magical world? 500-1000 years, maybe.

Maybe I missed it, but why has no one mentioned the Dueling Fighting Style in combination with Shield Master as a comparable alternative to GWM/GWF? +2 damage on all attacks; Have a good chance to knock your opponent down which controls the battlefield and allows you to attack with advantage...

Some thoughts: 1) Counterspell specifically says that it interrupts the spellcasting process; 2) Reactions, unlike Readied Actions, do not state that they come after their trigger; 3) Counterspell has a Somatic component, so it could be argued that the original spellcaster would need two free...

So THAT'S why Dwarves keep their potions in tankards!... I always wondered - they were meta-gaming :)

....Which is what the Stealth roll is for. Normal, no disadvantage. (Typically)

what form of government do they have? What type of society do they have? Who appears to be in charge? Who is really in charge? Do the people at the bottom of the social order support the social order or are they forced to accept it? What about the people at the top? What are their...

I was going to say Lankhmar, too. Sharn, from Eberron makes an excellent setting for a city based campaign.

Magical Weapons still hurt them: Golems are immune to damage from non-magical weapons that are not made of adamantine, so any magical weapon will work. Haven't seen any rules for adamantine anywhere else, yet...

Thank you - glad I could help. if you have access to Photoshop, or a similar program, this tutorial will ease your mapping woes: http://worldbuildingschool.com/how-to-generate-random-terrain-using-photoshop/

It sounds like you have a good start. I like the Pirate Kings idea. Based on my experience building and running 4e Pirate campaign, I'd make the following suggestions: 1) Whether in the Caribbean or in the Pacific around Malaysia and Indonesia, the golden ages of Piracy shared several...

This has been an interesting thread, with a lot of good ideas and suggestions, and many different perspectives have been presented. Here are few more variants to think about: 1) Use Passive Strength(Athletics) instead of straight STR to determine maximum lift/carry and encumbrance values. This...

I don't think this will break the game :) But I was looking at your original numbers: your "typical DEX based fighter" could save herself 25 pounds by switching to a chain shirt - she loses a point of AC, but isn't disadvantaged on Stealth checks, either. Or,she could invest in another point...
