That is interesting, is there a section in the adventure which recommends to the DM, that he shall brief the players, that there might be intra party conflicts at some point in the game, which go beyond Player X is dominated (for some rounds) and attacks player Y?

Still 500 is a different number than 5000. IRL cities with 100.000 inhabitants were quite rare and the equivalent of megacities today, back in the middle ages, so 5000 would be a large city already.

I very much agree. On some occurrences, during my current greyhawk campaign, I was forced to wing it a little, in that I had to DM without planning for it. The 2e Ravenloft settings came in handy. Just interweave my own big plot kidnap the players to a Ravenloft domain, run this and have them...

I wonder if the rock ramp behind the tower is part of the building (since there also is a tunnel drilled into it (left of the tower base). It would make sense to me, otherwise you could access the tower top via the ramp eventually.

It reminds a bit of GoTs wall, true that.

With you on this and also with @Sword of Spirit on the population, but the only shadows I can see are those of the enumeration circles, and they are rather SW so maybe I got tomatoes on my eyes or it is visible better in the printed map?

i just want to point out to you guys that an improvement to the game would be to have options in how to handle the game. one to cater to those who say i am in the middle of nowhere, no mage academy around , no lab so i can research on my own, no comrade mage so i can copy from their spell book...

see and some want the same for fighters, and since * every* fighter wants to become king with an according ruleset e.g. every fighter gets a castle and some men at arms granted at level 9 - no matter the campaign. so you are in the middle of Barovia and hit lvl 9, how convenient that Count...

different, bards similar, the learn it at some college. Ranger is divine so he prays for them. Warlocks get.them from their patron. Sorcerers are the exception for them it is innate. still if any spells are not (or not easy) to acquire, for what class ever, i communicate that in session 0

while basically correct taking all your assumptions into account, it is these very specific assumptions you make which give me a headache. e.g. In some of my games the wizard has access to every spell he desires, if he got the dosh to buy himself a copy of it at the local wizards guild. In...

Just houserule it to your liking, it is in the books. Do not like something, change it. Apologies if you are mainly running AL because then you got to live with the compromise.

Well that depends totally on how your campaigns are made. Of course a wizard can shift everybody to another plane, but if the fighter does not protect him there he will die. A god or other epic being will crush either wizard or fighter alone, but as a cooperating full group they maybe find a...

Like your honest judgement, but again, if someone wants to run around with 7 weapons he has to aquire a carriot and a mule in my games, I do not use encumbrance rules, but it is either a two handed weapon or a shield. A ranged weapon a sidearm and 1-3 daggers, and that is it. And with 5e as you...

Yes i did push it a little, because the discussion is not leading to any improvement of the game. If you want everybody to be a king at a certain charlevel then play birthright, it supports that playstyle.

Yeh it is like this: If you play in my campaign, which goes to level 20, and you got the opinion, that at level 9 you should be the proud baron of an estate, with 200 level 1 fighters equiped with chainmail, shield and spear, for you to command them around to your pleasure, than that might be...

I find it absolutely unjust that a level 1 mountain dwarf can start with 17 STR and a level 1 human not. That is why i only allow hill dwarves. I got no prob with halforc being as strong or stronger than human, and i got no prob with dwarves having higher HP and CON, but lvl 1 Conan is not...

And i think nat 1s instead should also have an effect, if the DM desires so (i play it like that when i dm and it is part of my fun) e.g. nat 1 on a save, it the spell gos crit. Nat 1 on a climb athletics, down you fall, double damage. What kind of softening up the game do you seek - that is...

5e magic is much weaker compared to other editions. Only 1 spell to concentrate on, only 1 slot of level 6-9, the only thing that makes up for it is the weak saves. Damaging spells are much weaker especially. Where in other editions a fireball could wipe out a group of enemies, no matter if they...

Yea sounds good. N.p. to housemake these for 5e, yo ujust have to tune things a little. I rule that these kind of spells (if available in my campaign) are something like 10th level magic, they either require a scroll, or if a level 20 mage wants to remember this from his spellbooks, then he has...

These two might be far to powerful, especially the second one. The bag can be used to collect every piece of gear (and sell it of) that mobs leave behind, but the rod allows for evil shenanigans if you know how to do it. That said, @TheSword , every +1 Weapon (not +1 armor or shield or Ring /...
