That’s essentially a better Divine Smite, much better on a Fighter since they get 4 attacks so you’re quadrupling the effect of a single spell slot.

I misread the ability, I thought it said when you make an attack, you get a bonus action attack. My apologies.

Good stuff! I think the capstone needs work, since this essentially obviates two weapon fighting, GWM, PAM and Crossbow Master, and clashes with Shield Master. I came up with divine subclasses for Fighters and Rogues some time ago, you may want to try them out...

In the last session, my party defeated a 7th level Wizard and I allowed the party Wizard (4th level) to find his spell book. It's full of non-combat utility spells and rituals, so it won't have a huge impact on combat but I expect it will come back and bite me on the azz sooner or later. I'm...

We just had our weekly session tonight, and I am just giddy with joy at how it turned out. My party has been hacking through the Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure (with ample homebrew changes) and they just defeated the final boss. I changed Nezznar significantly, as instead of an evil drow mage...

My players will be exploring the Underdark in a week's time, and I want to come up with a list of non-combat environmental encounters for them to overcome. What sort of challenges could I throw at them that one or two characters might be able to handle at a time? I'm planning on running this...

I have an artist in my group who has done individual character portraits for herself and a couple NPCs, but not the group yet. I’ll hold the mascot hostage until she does. :devil:

I recently started listening to a show called Not Another D&D Podcast and one of the players has invented a hilarious rendition of the Fey Knight subclass. His name is Beverly Toegold and is a member of the Green Teens, a sort of Boy Scouts Order of Paladins with an adorable theme song that he...

Good idea, but I don’t think it works here. Monkey Paw carries a certain negative connotation of a backfired wish, where this item has no drawbacks. It also doesn’t fit the aesthetic. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I like weapon damage being relevant for the sake of realism and uniqueness between weapons. You bring up a fair point, but I’m sure plenty people are fans of the Witcher series and don’t mind carrying multiple weapons to deal with different threats. A few ways to mitigate the pack rat mentality...

Good stuff! What do the highlights mean? So I've decided to roll with the badge idea, and I know just how to introduce it in the next session. Here it is: Badge of Authoritah Wonderous item, uncommon (requires attunement) This magic badge changes appearance to match the insignia of the nearest...

Thanks guys. I figured it would be more hassle than it's worth. I just wish weapon types made more of an impact.

Indeed, but this also wouldn't be a feat, just a feature of the game. Would it be a dramatic shift in damage? Would it be OP with Sneak Attack, or should it only work on the weapon damage dice? I'm curious what people think.

I forgot that was a thing since I've never seen anyone take it or talk about it, but yeah. Not just one attack per round though.

What sort of effect would this have mathematically? I've been thinking about ways to make physical damage types more relevant (bludgeoning, piercing, slashing) but I find Vulnerable to be too big a swing. Perhaps against heavy armor, bludgeoning damage gets advantage, medium armor piercing, and...

Unfortunately one of my players was out of town last week so the timing is going to be off, but I have decided to run with the Chain Devil idea in about two weeks time. I’m thinking of running essentially a mini-session of Dread. My players will clear Wave Echo Cave next session and learn that a...

Definitely voting for half speed and exhaustion if overused. Up to your discretion how much use is overuse.

Seems legit to me. I might have a high priest performing the lair action far out of reach of the players or somehow protected until they cleave through the lesser foes. Another option though is taking inspiration from Dark Souls 3 Deacons of the Deep boss fight. The Arch Deacon is a spirit that...

During our game session last night League of Legends came up randomly in conversation and it got me thinking about the items, so I decided to translate a couple to 5e. Check 'em out! Lightbringer Weapon, Legendary (requires attunement, any bow) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUiOylPbfV0 You...
