    D&D 5E (2014) Rime of the Frostmaiden Previews Include a Scroll of Tarrasque Summoning

    Yea I love it. And I am tempted o provide a cursed version of it, a ring of snuggly critters. The ring first appears to be and functions like a ring of warmth until you first make camp. Then your camp is swarmed by camprats (See Greyhawk MM) who gnaw at everything and run of with items they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rime of the Frostmaiden Previews Include a Scroll of Tarrasque Summoning

    I first thought, wow, a Tarrasque but then I read "...hostile to all creatures ...." and tbh. I like that kind of player agency. So basically the player gets a one shot nuclear bomb, but is strongly advised to stay out of the impact zone. It is the players choice, whether he drops that on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Moving ASI; Moving HP, Moving Alignment, & Moving Move Speed

    " Race's provide the hit points. It would not be just the biggest gets more. It might be a halfling's lucky means they are a d10 instead of a d6." That is the most odd suggestion I heard in the whole make-everyone-equal- discussion.

    You suggest she slept with gorillas and wrote about that? Wow, I did not know that detail.

    Oh look at that friendly blue skinned guy, carries the elves across the river and protects them from the wolves with his dagger.

    No PC it has to be titled Dominatri*/xyz but that might also be not up to date because someone found something offending in this expression... :P

    D&D General A more story-based mechanic for "somewhat grittier" healing - has this been done in D&D before, and would you use it?

    Tbh. as a player (of some class which is not CON/ CON save heavy) I fear even one level of exhaustion more than being at down at 10 HP. For @ccooke I recommend try out the grittier healing rules first: Short rest = 8 hours sleep, Long rest = a weekend at the inn with comfortable beds and such...

    D&D General A more story-based mechanic for "somewhat grittier" healing - has this been done in D&D before, and would you use it?

    Just RP it, 5e (and other editions) are unfit for a wound system for so many reasons. I play DSA a lot , they have a wound system, with mechanically minus modificators for the wounded character , the more he gets wounded. But: the HP are different in DSA. It is quasi a system without levels...

    D&D 5E (2014) Necromancy Cantrip Idea

    Although the damage output seems to be in line, and the fluff is great, I must agree with @Hawk Diesel that the spell structure is pretty unusual for a cantrip. I would suggest, that you up the damage a bit plus making it, so only the second target gets damage, but instead add a fear effect for...

    DDAL Simple CANON question

    Well, technically she is a level x Commoner, but her blue crystal staff is a divine soul sorcerer, so you are not to far off. Tbh. Tanis should eventually be a spell -less ranger, otoh to me he seems like a reincarnation of Aragorn sometimes.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do I resolve competing spells?

    Holy .... A charm circle. But your resolve of the situation seems in order.

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you wish WOTC to do Dark Sun

    I do not feel attacked, the old stuff is available still, and good DMs know that and will use it, and convert it. The regular player of a newer generation will not realize, where the fuzz some of us old grognards make about some setting comes from, unless they do an in depth comparison using the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Racial Min/Maxes on Ability Scores?

    Yes you are right, when you do a more precise analysis, still maximum from attributes and assuming equipment is e.g. (fighter) about +5 (Str20) +4 (prof level 10) (+2 magic weapon) which results in +11. So you add +1 from another ASI by race it is about 10 % increase. Now compare with 3e: You...

    D&D 5E (2014) Racial Min/Maxes on Ability Scores?

    No, do not fall into that trap. I tortured my brain around this topic, especially considering the STR 20 Halfling. 5e simply is not designed for that (other than 3e), because of the bound accuracy mechanic. A meager +1 from attribute in 3e with a +10 to hit (from level 10 fighter e.g.) is a 10...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do I resolve competing spells?

    How would you resolve the situation that two casters - let us assume they are of same level and have got same spell DC for additional complexity - target the same creature let us assume it fails the saves with e.g. a charm spell at the same time? Which of the casters spell takes effect and how...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you wish WOTC to do Dark Sun

    It is ok, I did not spot the satire, shame on me. But seriously it is totally difficult to express to newer generations, who did not experience the "Kick" that Dark Sun was during AD&D 2nd times. It was like the base vanilla game on steroids toppled over a few times. The gameplay when...
