The best Paladin I ever saw was played by my buddy. He was LG, played as the cliche, and the most racist character of all time. All demi-humans he referred to as "half-a-mans" and generally was the whole "I ain't got nothin' agin' you folk, but <insert crazy racist comment here>..." Absolute...

Just ran my first session of a new campaign last Sunday. I had to do some tweaks and give some reminders of how the rules are stated. Used point build but with 30 total points as we have a Gawd Roller in the group that regularly starts with two 18+ stats. First was the lizard folk AC thing. Two...

Hey, if that shark would have shut it's big, fat mouth then nothing would happened. You can't be talking like that and expect nothing to happen... Sent from my SM-T350 using EN World mobile app

Great read, Sir! Thank you for the brevity this morning. Sent from my SM-T350 using EN World mobile app

Oh yeah, the Inventors are going to be tons o' giggles...Thanks for the great add-ons, Leatherhead! My game I'm starting on Sunday is a reskinned Sunless Citadel set in a jungle with Kobolds and Grungs instead of Goblins/Hobgoblins. My basic Grungs will have blowguns and I'm swapping a 1/2 CR...

I see kobolds as a kind of D&D Viet Cong. They look like nothing to worry about, make the PCs run through a Funhouse of Pain, and hit suddenly when the PCs are distracted by traps only to fade away when counterattacked. Sent from my XT1254 using EN World mobile app

Huh...I just rolled SA dice whenever I shot someone in the face one of our melee guys was already fighting. Y'know, like the rules say you can. Sent from my XT1254 using EN World mobile app

One conditional immunity I would seriously consider adding is Stunned (how do you stun an undead construct anyway?) Plenty of horror stories about Stunlocked Big Bads if a Monk is in the party. Sent from my XT1254 using EN World mobile app

I regularly show my age with my gaming group that are aged 22-33. I say things that us Old Skoolerz know like "Conga Line of Death" and "I would definitely touch that with a 10-foot pole" and get nothing but blank stares...

Since I know that you're down with it, I gleefully report that I shall be borrowing this one...

I will say I find it rather frustrating that lower/equal CR Dragons get all sorts of Legendary abilities and cool ranged attacks while the Big Daddy demons get left in the cold. I will be sure to rectify this situation when my players get to the higher levels in my campaign. Sent from my XT1254...

So how many Quasit (anything Large or bigger should have a pet Quasit) and/or Vrock saves did they go through? What happened when the Glabrezu guards cast darkness in four different locations and the Balor's teleport put him into a random different one every single turn? When one of the PCs...

Complete agreement from me with Bitbrain. The Flinds, like many of the Mook+ monsters, is best used as a kicker to the normal mobs. Just sticking a solo Flind in front of a PC party is a gross misuse of it's abilities and purpose. Sent from my XT1254 using EN World mobile app

My homebrew starts with the PCs working as extra muscle/protection for a construction crew to help establish an efficient route from the capital area to an agricultural area to the North. Think slightly improving the Oregon Trail for more effective colonization leading eventually to improved...

I would add Athletics as a skill (the flavor text says they can climb and jump really well) for some grapple followed by claw/bite attacks with advantage fun. Juggling PC heads would certainly be an attention-grabbing trick...

Many great ideas here. I'm a fan of the possession idea from Dualazi, if the player is amicable, followed by the great ditty above.

I am close to violently opposed to "dumbing down" pretty much anything. I'm furthermore quite annoyed that the Death Knight and Black Guard are ridiculously nerfed in their stat blocks. That said, my post was indirectly in response to an earlier post about a bunch of supposed hardass...

I feel it's necessary to point out that most DMs simply fail at being devious enough for the true nastiness of many high-CR opponents to come out. Take a Balor, for example. It has a genius IQ, the ruthlessness of Stalin, the strength of a dozen men and leads entire demonic legions into battle...

The game world is a Banestorm knock-off set 50 years after the single biggest known magical event went catastrophically wrong. She was in an area close to the Orcish territories when a major assault happened (which the secret magical event was supposed to stop) and was left to hold the Orcs off...

Thanks for the advice, y'all. The first "Big Bad" in my homebrew I'm about to start is a female wood elf fallen paladin. She's the former leader of what was basically the elvish Delta Force (Spy background) so I have to walk the fine line of a feminine figure that has had to make very hard...
