    D&D 5E (2014) Boy, that escalated quickly...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why does no one play Goliath?

    Our Goliath Battle Master Fighter is a complete Death Machine(tm). GWM + Sentinel plus Trip Attack. Let's see here...no disengage, 10ft reach, a hit means your move is zero feet (meaning you can't take a half-move to get up if the trip attack is successful), and the party Rogue is running...

    D&D 5E (2014) Boy, that escalated quickly...

    Also be sure to keep the players styles of play in mind. If the player is obviously shooting for the sneaky git action, feel free the fudge information a bit to make sure they have a decent chance of success. Hussar's description would make me tend to see him as a tactician like me. If you blow...

    D&D 5E (2014) Survivor Feats: UPDATE- MOBILE WINS!

    Dungeon Delver 4 Mobile 6 It's called "Dungeons and Dragons", not "Limited use feat, FTW!" No seriously. Has anyone ever even taken Dungeon Delver as their feat over the stat boost?

    Dungeon Delver 9 Inspiring Leader 12 (-3) Seriously? This is still here? Mobile 15 Observant 15 (+1) Reading lips *and* making it hard to be snuck up on at the same time? <yes, please>

    I think the D&D experience system has a lot to do with my players being murder hobos.

    100% agreement here. After level 8 or so we could just wade into whatever and beat it like a red-headed step-child. Almost zero real challenge. Tactics? My group's idea of tactics was waiting until the second combat round for the headlong charge *and it didn't matter*... [emoji31]

    D&D 5E (2014) Ravenloft= Meh

    I just can't stand a setting that basically says, "Cleric? Paladin? &%$# you!" for no really good reason. Oh, it's explained well enough, but I think it actually causes the setting to lose some of it's visceral sting. Think about it for a moment. What is worse? Just putting the screws to the two...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Skills whats your opinion

    Considering how many men walk in the front door after getting sauced after work and are completely flabbergasted by their ol' lady being mad them again...I feel you, bro.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Skills whats your opinion

    Kalshane; Depending on my mood, my reaction to a player asking to use Sleight of Hand to build a clock would range from falling over in a fit of laughter to simply to saying "No." Pretty much my reaction as well. There is a reason why there is an entire industry of highly skilled and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Rogues mostly archers?

    I spend most of my time shooting people in the face, to be honest. I have D-blocked some chumps, of course, but most of my damage has been ranged. Short bow? Seriously?!? It's all about the Light Crossbow, y'all. More damage, you can sling it to shove it behind your back to get to your...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Makes the Fighter Best at Fighing?

    I see the Fighter the same way I see Batman. He's not the strongest, fastest, toughest, smartest (but there are admittedly few that can surpass him in this category), or possesses some strange special powers. He's just a highly trained and motivated human with a metric butt-ton of resources, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Cell Phone and Electronic Etiquette at your 5e Table

    I use my phone for my character sheet so I use it quite a bit. That said, my fiddling on my phone isn't hitting up Facebook or other sources of distraction.

    D&D 5E (2014) Swift Quiver for throwing daggers

    Pretty much my thoughts on it, sir. Thanks for saving me a post!

    D&D 5E (2014) Swift Quiver for throwing daggers

    The two weapon fighting feat let's you draw two weapons a turn already and you get +1 AC when you have two weapons.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Skills whats your opinion

    In the HotDQ campaign I had used blacksmithing a few times as well as Land Vehicles. Wagons get beat on and they need repairs. The issue, as I see it, is that the DMs in question simply aren't trying hard enough. To be frank, a character sheet pretty much tells the DM exactly what the player...

    Well, I *could* say it...but I would be lying. [emoji6] Another great idea.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cloud of Daggers - magical damage ?

    Using a telekinesis effect (as an example) on a dagger doesn't change the nature of the item striking the target. It would be normal piercing damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cloud of Daggers - magical damage ?

    So the question is if a dagger made of 100% magic would be counted as a magical source of damage...think about that for a second or two before continuing the discussion.
