"It's unwise to stay here for too long, residual magic you know. I normally stay for an hour every day" The priest suddenly stops his ritual. "What do you mean 'the other side?'"

Make it grant disadvantage on incoming attacks instead of +5 AC against them.

With the enemy distracted, Glau grabs hold of a rope on the mainsail with their pseudopod, then swings down, landing on the enemy deck behind the astral elves. With an unbridled fury, the Plasmoid lashes out with a chain, causing the Elf to dodge directly into the clever crosscutting cutlass...

Glau had lacked the foresight to bring some crossbows up from below. Turning back to the stairs, they saw it was filled with rubberneckers. "GeT bElOw DeCkS aNd LoCk DoWn ThE hAtChEs If YoU aIn'T fIgHtInG tOpSiDe!" The Plasmoid bubbles over with rage, and climbs the mast to a line on the...

No Timber Wolf?

I would have brought up more crossbows if I had known this many people didn't have ranged attacks.

My main problem with weapon masteries is that those features only let you use specific weapons. It would be great if you could just pick Sap mastery instead of having to pick Flail mastery. If it was formatted that way, you could even balance some of the weaker masteries by having them on a...

That is very likely to be what WoTC is planning on doing (or at least something similar). Especially given the recent trend of making class features into spells. Unfortunately, the other big Necromancer problem is that they never really felt like Necromancers until you hit level 6. They need...

I'm halfway tempted to strap Glau on a ballista bolt in order to board the enemy ship early.

Even if the wizard was deleted, the sorcerer would still be redundant. Warlocks fill the "wierd magic" niche far better mechanically, and bards have a better grip on the cha full caster role.

Glau was below decks, inventorying and packing up the belongings of the crew lost on the planet, when they heard the call. Quickly, the plasmoid gathered some nearby weapons, a Saber from Tik-tik , Skalkash's Harpoon, and a Chain from Nicklebottom. Even if they weren't here physically, they...

There is a slightly Janky way to get around fear: Blindfighting. If you can't see the target of your fear, you don't suffer from the downsides of fear, well except for the part where you can't get closer to them.

I don't like the direction of Modify Spell -> Create Spell. I absolutely love the idea of creating your own signature spell, but creating your own spell shouldn't be boiled down to copying Mordenkainen's homework and changing a few words. Instead regulate that entire mechanic into building your...

Ok, did a bit of a rework. Even went with the Dual Wielder feat, so Glau wasn't just stuck with Scimitars.

We never did figure out what those items we picked up were, did we?

I think I'm going to rebuild Glau as a playtest berserker, to give it a fair shake (though as a small barbarian, I would still need to go the two-weapon fighting route) The improvised weapon barbarian was cool, while it lasted.

Given that the new monster mechanics are less than a year old, and mostly pertain to mid to higher level monsters, its entirely possible that you haven't had the opportunity to see it in action. Here is a link that goes more in depth: In short: Nearly 90% of all monsters that only deal...

It is late morning/early afternoon on the 4th. You haven't rested since you entered the Dead Mans' Land at dawn. You have been pressing on quite hard, which is totally understandable given the hostile nature of the area you were in, and it has been slowly wearing you down (appropriate for a...

The Cathedral lies shattered. Its once magnificent stained glass windows are blown out, the roof collapsed, 7 of the great statues honoring the Host lie shattered, with the final two twisted into a macabre display of mutual destruction. The gate is locked, but there are several obvious holes...
