    Reborn Twilight Cleric with Inspiring Leader and Chef. Hand out buckets and buckets of temporary HP, roleplaying a dapper zombie who just won't stay down.

    D&D 5E (2014) MCDM to revisit the Illrigger.

    If I remember correctly, it's a tanky class focusing on debuffing and sealing enemies.

    Don't tell Mystra. She uses that name too. :cool:

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    Not really. Across about a dozen tables I've noticed... a player will do it. Cool! Then that player doesn't do it again even if they play another melee, and because the first player did it the rest of the players at the table seem less likely to also do it. I did see it happens twice at one...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    I consider Storm to be predominantly for skill challenges. It certainly CAN be used in combat to solid effect, but is often more useful outside of combat in most situations except Deadly fights.

    D&D General Drawbacks of a World with BG3 in it

    A good chunk of it is forgetting/not realizing Verbal and Somatic components are clear arcane chanting and appendage waving. A bucket full of D&D media has these elements stripped down to bare bones or not exist at all. Heck, how many people think the verbal component of Suggestion is just...

    D&D General Drawbacks of a World with BG3 in it

    I had this happen! New player joins the table, didn't pick any spells at their first session because they thought they could swap on the fly. They were very understanding about the 5E rule and adjusted smoothly, but it happened!

    D&D 5E (2014) Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming 2024

    Left eye and left hand seem MORE purple than their right side counterparts, but don't look spectral or transparent to me.

    D&D 5E (2014) House rules based on experience with Bg3

    Those are some well known house rules that many players seem to enjoy. Go for it!

    It's more of a mess, but it depends on how much you care about the stories of the origin characters. 3 Players + 1 NPC works fine because you can swap in whatever NPC has a quest for a local area. But 4 Players means several NPCs will get pissed about missing their quests and can outright...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    Dragon, Elemental, Infernal, Demonic, and even Angelic are easy reskins. I suppose you could even go pretty far afield and do a Far Realms reskin with burning tentacles, spongey skin, mental trickery redirecting attacks, etc. Embiggening could be horrendous bloating, alien musculature, or just...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    I would personally rather have PEG than AE. Protecting my mind is often far more important to me personally than mitigating some damage. Or heck, be a rebel and take PEG and AE, but no Shield! There are better classes for being a Shield-bot than EK. :ROFLMAO:

    A necromancer crawling up from his tomb to take vengeance on the living.

    D&D 5E (2014) Saving the Childrens Menu by Deborah Ann Woll, her first published adventure.

    Yeah, I really love her style and she's quite solid on the mechanics too. If she has any flaw, it's her deep deep passion for puzzles and riddles that leaves players scratching their heads. I'm happy to support her, and eager to see if she puts another puzzle in this adventure. :geek:

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    Echo Knight is a certain kind of awesome that can make incredibly fun combat and exploration builds. The chief problem is the somewhat vague wording that means your mileage at any given table can vary quite a bit. I would personally rate it higher than Rune Knight unless I wanted to focus on the...

    You're probably going to win combat anyway. :devilish:

    D&D 5E (2014) Rune Knight Is The Best Fighter Overall IMHO.

    Battlemaster can get some decent mileage using the skill boosting maneuvers. I've seen a BM use nothing BUT skill boosters and contribute surprisingly well that way to multiple pillars. Still not better than Rune Knight overall, but solid.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cartomancer Feat

    It seems to let you "Prepare" any one spell on your spell list and put it on a card. So a Wizard could prepare his usual spells, then pick another spell he has not prepared and put it on the card. Alternatively, a Warlock or Sorcerer could pick any spell from their list even if it is not one of...
