    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] D&D 5e good spell combos

    Find Familiar + anything requiring a spell attack e.g. Fire Bolt, Ray of Frost and Witch Bolt. How? Summon an owl as your familiar. It can't attack but it can use the Help action. Order it to fly in, Help and fly out. Its movement away doesn't provoke because it has Flyby. Ready your spell for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Grappling & engulfing - how do they work in 5e?

    Thanks, iserith. My DM used B as well but didn't allow attempts to break free. According to him, the only way out of a shambler's engulf is to kill it from the inside (or the outside if you have companions). It's his prerogative to run the monster however he wants of course, but I suspect his...

    D&D 5E (2014) Grappling & engulfing - how do they work in 5e?

    I need some help with the 5e rules about grappling and engulfing, specifically in relation to shambling mounds. Is it... A) the shambler makes two slam attacks on the same target and, if they both hit, the target is grappled but gets to break free on its go with a DC14 check or, if...

    GF9 is updating the D&D 5E SPELL CARDS

    I did the same thing. I'm playing a wizard, so have categorised my spells as "Prepared" and "Unprepared". I printed two baseball card sized sheets with those words on them to put in my folder to indicate whether I had remembered those spells or not. If I change my prepared spells after a long...

    Lego goblin raiding party

    I buy and use third party pieces from too many sources to list them all. However, if you mean for the goblins pictured: * most of the legs are from BrickFortress (Lego doesn't make articulated short legs), * the sniper's body armour, quiver and crossbow are by BrickWarriors, * the soldier's...

    Lego goblin raiding party

    The latest wave of Lego collectible minifigures, Series 13, was released recently. It includes a very cool goblin. I used one to create the front centre goblin in the picture below. He's almost as sold except that I replaced his weapon and gave him short legs instead of standard-sized ones. He...

    Lego minifigure: Mind flayer

    I've had the Cthulhu figure since early 2008 and can't remember where I got most of the parts from. I think I got the wings from a set that included a dragon whose wings I replaced with a different colour. The rest, I got on BrickLink if I recall correctly. Cthulhu's head is an octopus which is...

    Lego minifigure: Mind flayer

    Lego minifigures are sold individually in blind packaging. The most recent wave, Series 13, isn't available in all regions yet. A few have appeared in the US and UK. Their official release date is January or February depending on your region. You can see the Series 13 minifigures here...

    Lego minifigure: Mind flayer

    Your betentacled overlords are pleased. You will be rewarded. Even though I'm heavily into both D&D and Lego and most of my Lego minifigures are fantasy themed, I've never sought to combine the two. I know some people do: for example, there was a Lego-based game at an RPG convention I went to...

    Lego minifigure: Mind flayer

    Yeah, I know, the skin and eye colour are wrong, but this is the closest I could come to our friend the mind flayer. At least the number of tentacles is right. The head is from the very recently released Series 13 of Lego's Collectible Minifigures. It's not yet available in all locations but...

    Lego minifigure: Mind flayer

    Funny you should say that. I did consider creating a Cthuloid minifigure, but a) I only have one of the tentacled heads and b) I already have this guy in my collection: . WARNING: Staring at this thread too long can cause a permanent loss of sanity points. :p

    Lego minifigures: D&D 5e classes

    Thanks! :) Congratulations to you and your partner on your impending parenthood! Minifigures aren't suitable for newborns, of course, but when little nerfherder is a few years old, you should check out Lego's Collectible Minifigure line. The Xena-like barbarian, silvery-grey paladin, Robin...

    What are the powers of the One Ring?

    Yes, it's true that the Witch-king may not have heard the prophecy directly and that it may not have been passed to him verbatim. But the fact that he understood it to mean that he could not be impeded by "man" is the salient point. It's his misinterpretation of the word - whether heard...

    What are the powers of the One Ring?

    Apologies for the digression away from the topic of the powers of the one ring, but there's no reason to believe that Tolkien was making a feminist statement when he had Eowyn (and Merry) defeat the Witch-king of Angmar. The Eowyn + Merry vs Nazgul fight tells us nothing about Tolkien's...

    Lego minifigures: D&D 5e classes

    Hasbro already does a crossover between Kre-O, its construction toy brand, and D&D. But here are my version of the D&D 5e classes in Lego. Most of these minifigures are what are called MOCs (My Own Creations) in the Lego fan community, basically kit-bashes supplemented by some third party...
