That's why you wait until they're 150' up and half way between the ships when your own wizard casts dispel magic. =)

I like it, but I think that your monthly profit may be a bit low for some of them. Consider a shop doesn't even pull in enough profit to provide for one person. If you considered someone was really rich and could own multiple shops, it would take that rich person owning 3 shops just to provide...

Do your players return every item they find? When they defeat the evil orc warlord do they then go and return all of the treasure and items that the orcs have looted and pillaged? Are they looting ancient tombs and then returning the property to the rightful descendants? If not, I think you...

One simple method is to come up with an amount of net profit, hand-waving the gross amount, and a 1-40 chart going from really bad to really good. Then around monthly in game time have the players roll a d20+20 and the DM rolls a d20. Subtract the DM's roll from the players and look up the...

One method I've seen for those who don't have regeneration handy is petrification, a couple of stone blocks and the stone shape spell, and reverse petrification.

Create a variant of a charm or compulsion that puts temporary knowledge in your mind that is the lie you want to tell while blanking the real information. You don't know that you are lying and believe that you are telling the truth. Once the pre-set time is up, your real knowledge comes back...

The biggest suggestion I have here is don't worry about having mechanics to represent everything. You don't need mechanics to say that they have a special bond with their mounts. But if you really must, just say that they're especially well trained and give the rider advantage on all animal...

Cha-ching! My subscription just got locked in for while. Any teasers on the release timeline?

I usually do left to right when it's a bunch of rolls. So wherever the dice land on the table is who get's what attack roll. If it's several monsters with one attack a group of characters I'll sometimes call out what color is who or go left to right and around the table.

I've been planning on a character that uses AoA a lot. My plan was fighter 1 for heavy armor, con saves, heavy weapon style, and a small HP boost. From there I would go infernal warlock till the end. If I go human I'll grab heavy armor mastery at level 1. If not, level 4. Infernal warlock...

That is one interpretation of the fluff of the warlock, and a completely valid one. Another is that the warlock is taught the secrets to power and the rest they learn on their own. Under this way of looking at the warlock, Int is a more appropriate casting stat.

I'd say that if you have declared all of the attacks in advance then the circumstances behind those attacks are also set. So no auto-crit and 2 auto-failures. Otherwise go, with rolling one at a time.

I can picture a cleric keeping himself alive for years sealed away by casting death ward every day. His body is gaunt and weak, but he survives through sheer will. =)

I'd say that survey is a bit biased. It's like going to an auto parts store and having a survey about whether people prefer to fix their own cars or take it to a mechanic. WotC's survey's would be the best way to tell for sure, but unfortunately we don't have access to that.

And this is why the magic item system failed from 3e through 4e IMO. It became a system where you had to improves specific things or else you couldn't keep up. I much prefer the 5e and the AD&D systems where magic items aren't a required part of the system. I like being able to have my...

Whenever I hear the argument that published rules are automatically better or more accepted than house rules I always come back to this movie.

What I wouldn't mind seeing is the Champion getting enhanced options for one of their fighting styles so that they can mix them a bit. For example, Dueling is no longer restricted to no weapon in your off hand but only applies to your primary hand. Heavy weapon allows you to re-roll 1's on any...
