Put RAW and RAI on the shelf, next do what works for you and your game then toss in a little common sense. Having a CHA mod effect your AC, cool (assuming it's good). Now why would using a shield prevent the use of your CHA bonus to AC? That doesn't pass the common sense test to me so the rules...

Give your wizard a long sword and ask your GM if you can start out with it and be proficient in it. I'm running now and we're at 4th level. During character creation, i let the players, regardless of class, choose any weapon they wanted. They received it as a starting item and are proficient in it.

I could see the argument for or against class based stats. Overall, i dont care for classes, but that's DnD. I have fun playing it and so house rule to my taste. Someone on this board said it perfectly i think, "DnD is a mix between reality and the fantastic."... a mixture of both. Being that, I...

There are many good suggestions on this thread. I think talking and setting expectations are always the first steps to ensuring everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves. You'll have the occasional knucklehead and in cases where i've had them, talking has always worked. But i also...

I'm new to 5e and running a game now. We're at 4th level. I know the figher is built to fight, but the barbarian does it better. He has more hit points and his barbarian abilities give him better fighter abilities (takes less damage, does more damage). I'd rather have a barbarian, but i'll just...

I like and would say do it. I would also add, any attacker charging into a set spear/poleaxe and gets hit, they'd need to make a DC check of some sort or else get knocked down... (maybe make the DC harder the more damage done).

I like your idea of adding extra damage for size, i would do it... and many other things mentioned throughout this thread. spinozajack said it perfectly wiht 5e affirmative actioning the races. Other things i've also done, i dont listen to the 30 max strength, nor allow the various races to...

Interesting topic. I was looking for more on this. I'd maybe use the STR bonus of the mount rather than the rider... or take in into account at least. One part that has been bugging me is, when i'm charging someone and moving from my charge, my target during his turn, can probably use his...

I like the idea of double advantage or disadvantage, for the concept of increasing a crit chance and other instances, like for those players that insist on attempting something that is close to folly. I'm still playing thru 5e and after 4 sessions, still tweaking the rules to fit. (i come from a...
