    The King that Crawls

    Does anyone know if Torog is still canonical for 5th Edition? I name-dropped him in my campaign for the Halloween session, where a Chain Devil chased my party of 4th level characters through the Underdark when they happened across it during its pilgrimage down The King's Highway. I'm curious if...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fun ideas for a Diviner mini-villain

    Check out Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire. It’s a fun read from start to finish, in my opinion, and has a Diviner Duel pretty early on in the overall story.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mythological Figures: Genghis Khan (5E)

    Genghis Khan has got it goin on. He’s all I want, and I’ve waited for so long. Kublai can’t you see, you’re just not the Khan for me. I know it might be wrong, but I’m in love with Genghis Khan!

    I need a water kobold!

    You could homebrew some Blue Minions. I’m going to work on that myself, actually.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warforged Artificer

    We’re starting a new campaign in Eberron and my newbie friend wants to play a Warforged Artificer. He’s thinking to go Artillerist eventually (TF2 Gunslinger Engineer FTW!) and we’ve built his character sheet with point buy. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for how to build/play the 2019...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bank Security

    Fair point. I’m usually thinking about Forgotten Realms, since that’s become the default setting for D&D. Thanks for all the responses thus far, you have given me lots of great feedback!

    D&D 5E (2014) Bank Security

    What sort of security measures would you expect a bank to have in this setting? Assuming well-organized and educated management, what measures can be taken to, for example, ensure the stash of silver they just exchanged for gold isn’t actually wood that has been transmuted via Minor Alchemy?

    D&D 5E (2014) Portraying Portent

    TaranTheWanderer Love your name. There’s a special place in my heart for the Chronicles of Prydain. ❤️ Thanks for the responses, all! I think I like Taran’s suggestion best, I feel like there needs to be some active input from the Diviner to best fit the mechanic. Still open for more...

    D&D 5E (2014) Portraying Portent

    How do you portray Portent in game? In particular, how do think it canonically works? I want one of my characters to be a Diviner Wizard for a story I’m writing. I’m thinking it’s an intuition that allows the Diviner to advise their allies to take risks because he knows it will work out. I...

    Tiefling Hexblade

    Thanks for the feedback! To clarify, this would be for a fanfic (or a book if I’m feeling ambitious), so I want as little homebrewery as possible. Adventurer League legal, as it were. I know different authors in WOTC treat the lore very differently, so I suppose I may have more leeway than I’m...

    Tiefling Hexblade

    I'm trying to come up with a canonical lore-friendly backstory for a Devil Tongue Tiefling to have a cursed sword. Current excuse is a family heirloom, but being that Hexblades are explicitly tied to the Shadowfell it doesn't work as well for a character of Fiendish descent to have one. Maybe...

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggested nerf to the Shield spell

    I've considered changing it to be +Proficiency to AC so it's less OP early game and scales into late game.

    Creepy Cryx

    Creepy Cryx Bane Warrior Medium undead, neutral evil AC: 14 (ring mail) HP: 58 (9d8+18) Speed: 30 ft. STR: 12 (+1) DEX: 10 (0) CON: 14 (+2) INT: 8 (-1) WIS: 10 (0) CHA: 8 (-1) Weapon Master: When making an attack with a War Axe, the Bane Warrior deals one extra die of damage. Dark Shroud: While...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Of Ships and The Sea

    Any idea how one would stat up an ironclad warship? My players just commandeered one in the last game session and desperately want to keep it. This UA is serendipity at its finest.

    AoE-TotM

    How to you handle area of effect in theater of the mind? In my last session my players were attacked by hordes of Skaven, and in an effort not to allow the dramatic tension to dissipate in a single turn, I had my players roll 1dX for how many would be effected rather than measuring distance...

    Multicaster Rituals

    For the next session I want to have the enemies cast Control Weather to darken the skies so the Skaven don’t suffer from Sunlight Sensitivity, but I also don’t want to throw a 16th level spellcasters at the party. Is there any precedence in game for multiple low level casters performing a shared...

    Evocation Potent Cantrip

    It's more like if Extra Attack only worked with maces.

    Evocation Potent Cantrip

    I'm curious if anyone has a problem with how this feature works. "Starting at 6th level, when a creature succeeds on a saving throw against your cantrip, the creature takes half the cantrip's damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from the cantrip." I don't really like this feature...

    Epic Monsters: Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (5E)

    You missed the most important feature: Jaw Dropping Singer - The first time Mr. Hyde is encountered by the players, they must sit quietly while you play Alive.

    Wizard's Spell Book Allocation

    Thanks for the replies all. I’m glad to hear I haven’t really screwed up. I think it might be a good thing, since the spells he got are ones most Wizards never take since they’re not combative.
