    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Trickster and Sneak Attack

    I guess the arcane trickster is more intended to have utility spells than damage ones. As a house rule might be ok to allow sneak attack to work with cantrips that require an attack roll. Might be a bit much with higher level spells.

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Trickster and Sneak Attack

    Ok, so a recent debate on this has left me wondering... do you add sneak attack on to spells that require an attack roll? The wording of Sneak Attack states "The attack must use a finesse or ranged weapon." I have been assuming that yes as long as you make an attack roll with the spell it...

    D&D General D&D Pronunciation Guide

    Well since there is a list, might as well add a few. The original Ravenloft boxed set included the pronunciation for the domains: Ravenloft Domains: Arak (Ah' ruk) Arkandale (ar' kun dale) Barovia (ba ro' via) Bluetspur (bloot' spoor) Borca (bor' ka) Darkon (dar' kon) Dementlieu (day' mon...

    Stormcaster Sorcerer

    So I have a player who really liked the Stormcaster PrC that is in the Stormwrack book for 3.5. The fury of the elements seemed to fit the sorcerer in my mind and this is what I have come up with so far: 1st Level: Stormborn You gain resistance to Lightining and Thunder damage types. 6th...

    Need Help with a 5e D&D Conversion!

    The new rules seem good for a multiclass caster the only hitch is as I read it, when you prepare spells you are still restricted by your class level in that class as to what level of spells you can prepare. Mystic Theurge allowed you to get to learn 7th level spells rather than only making it...

    Need Help with a 5e D&D Conversion!

    Ok, so I have a player that really wants to somehow do Mystic Theurge in 5e and I am at a total loss on how to accomplish this. I have considered trying to make it some bizarre new base class where you get the spell progression where you get access to the spells up through 7th level spells...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e XP Chart Progression Question

    Ok, so this is the xp calculations I am thinking of going with and the final XP progression chart. As I mentioned this is for a chat game and as such the XP rewards work very differently than in table top. For any given short adventure (figure a several hours of real world time) the maximum xp...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e XP Chart Progression Question

    Ooook, had not considered that angle, I will have to take a look at that.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e XP Chart Progression Question

    The reason this will not work for me is I am working with a group of DMs on a chat game. A persistent setting available to be played in with or without DMs present. The team of DMs working together to run stuff for people who are on when they have time. With this sort of setup the game there...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e XP Chart Progression Question

    Ok, well at least I am seeing what is intended. That isn't really going to work for my purposes so I will have to adjust the base xp chart and that easy to do, it just ends up making the xp required for levels to not be a nice even number.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e XP Chart Progression Question

    Ok, so I am not normally heavy into picking apart the math of a system but I was working on an xp breakdown and discovered something really odd. It looks like it is actually easier to go up in levels past level 11. That feels a little off to me. Kinda posting this up here so someone can...

    5e Dragon Shaman Conversion

    Planning on trying to get a few people to test it out a bit. Hopefully anyone who stumbles across the class here and gives it a try will post how it worked out.

    5e Dragon Shaman Conversion

    I think restricted to once per turn, scaling the power aura as 1d4/1d6/1d8 should be fine (in the end, seeing it in play will be the final arbiter on it) With the skill DCs being static in this version of the game I don't think going above a d4 is likely a good idea. Thinking about Rogues and...

    5e Dragon Shaman Conversion

    Yeah, I was thinking about that. My only hesitation with it is this is a buff granted to everyone within 30ft. That damage adds up fast getting tacked on to every hit. Hmmmmm, thinking about this what if the damage could only be applied once per turn (working kinda like sneak attack where you...

    5e Dragon Shaman Conversion

    Alright, the class seems to be almost complete, just need some suggestions on the Power Aura. Gave the Brass Dragon Dunewalker as was suggested and filled in the final missing ability as the commune power the class had back in 3.5

    5e Dragon Shaman Conversion

    Hmmm, possibly but the concern there is that technically the breath weapon is an unlimited use item that can hit multiple targets and the damage is far above what you can deal with a weapon or even several attacks more than likely. though Extra Attacks might not be bad fillers for the final two...
