    Rip-dungeon-apart character

    Truthfully if you are doing this you would be full hoarder. The way an oddity shop, or consignment shop, or thrift store (however you want to think of the business) works is my having a large volume of trash others might consider treasure. You would tear down those curtains and wooden doors...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM Quits The Game

    Even worse the whole contribute more thing is possibly forcing people to act in a manner that are uncomfortable with. We have a player in one of my games, I've been playing with them for years, and they just don't contribute a lot outside of mechanically, they like playing the games, and even...

    D&D 5E (2014) New 5th edition Adventure: Baleful Coven (6th level)

    A quick question about sliding this into a campaign. Does the offense which draws the coven's ire occur in game of could I build off of a previous slight already existent in my campaign? For instance: when one of my characters was first level he participated in the murder of a hag, and was...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    Ooh man she was about to escape us too, but shoanti bolas and a monk grappling the heck out of her stopped that noise.

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    Mechanically it is fairly sound, though it does limit the benefit of having someone else around to take the hits (by spending your hit die on it you are effectively losing your daily hit points), but not too much to make it unsound. Thematically it can be a bit weak depending upon your table's...

    Here's a fun one in that vein. We never killed erylium. We totally incapacitated her and brought her back for questioning. She lived in a glass jar on my hip and she actually ended up as my cohort for a while, but then she got banished.

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    I think orik is right. Rise of the rune lords is the campaign right? Yeah he brought him in and is running him as a major shield expert defensive fighter. He covers my thundercaller's but when I roll it into melee. It was really cool to see him come back to the party to keep that story...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    Ooh yeah hit dice.. I washed to experiment with using those on a beast companion Now my question is this: as the beast master levels the hit point total of the beast goes up a decent distance from what it's hit dice could ever provide. Do you increase the number of hit dice on the pet or is...

    I actually really like beast master it has some fairly awesome capabilities when it has the right beast with it, and a major solution in my book is to give the beast death saving throws so that dropping it to zero didn't just take away a class feature, and to give the ranger a chance to get over...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    You know what thanks for trying to bring it back to the original topic here. I apologize to all for my part in the derail. I haven't gotten a chance to see this in play yet other than just tinkering around with it on my own where it definitely performs well, but white rooms always do well. I...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    This isn't experiencing a continent and it's local culture. It is playing a game, and yes if I know all the rules to the game because I read this game's rulebook, and have day at length discussing these older versions with the people that taught me to pay, then yes it is like being there...

    Nah that's not that arrogant, we play a fairly complex game that does in fact require a decent intelligence. I'm used to home games where you just ask the DM if a book or a specific option within a book is fair game. I for the most part get what's going on here I just dislike the inconsistency...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    They aren't different arguments, it's an end the argument has come to from the same exact argument, that PC death is usually due to a failure of some sort on the part of the DM and that it's consequences are not a thing people enjoy. Your stated solution to the issue of death causing story...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    Aren't you the guy who like 6 pages ago said it's pointless to play a game where death can't happen. Now you are riding this guy saying he's playing wrong because he's had death happen in the teens, and that you've never seen a game in the teens where the party members couldn't just get back up...

    I will admit I'm a tad unfamiliar with AL in total. I know a bit of how it works but haven't yet sat down to a table (life's a little tumultuous right now, and I don't want to commit to something I can't always make). However to my understanding I could take the same character from one table...

    It's also only been an issue for less than a week or two, and the spell lists one would do this with is currently quite small. However that doesn't make it not an issue, or just makes it an issue that hasn't come about en mass just yet. Ostensibly I could go around as an ee character and just...

    Cantrips are not the issue here. The issue is that tomelocks and wizards are allowed to mix and match source books as they wish, and are enabled to do so. Either by finding the proper scrolls or spellbooks, or by having a companion wizard that is based on another supplement. Ignore the...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    We actually did that with a new player in my pathfinder group. We'd "interacted" with a merc a few levels back and he was still kicking around the town that acted as our base of operations (we'd arrested him rather than killing him). The new player was coming in to replace a player that was...

    So I'm going to go ahead and say that this seems pretty unfair. I get that wizard's and tomelocks can get spells off scrolls and spellbooks, and have expanded flexibility in what they can do on a day to day basis. That's totally fine in regards to character function in a base reasoning...

    D&D 5E (2014) I don't actually get the opposition for the warlord... or rather the opposition to the concept.

    Except they are by base definition of how a warlord works. Let's say the warlord sits at a table and starts handing out extra attacks. That is entirely the warlord commanding another player character. Even if you make the extra attacks or movements optional that just makes it more of the...
