    D&D 5E (2014) Shield in one hand, Axe in the other

    It depends on your class. A Cleric or Paladin can just use the Shield as Focus and therefore has no Problem. A Bard can use the Shield or Weapon as Focus if he can use them as Musical Instrument (singing Sword, Shells on the Shield, Drum on the Hip, etc). Everyone else needs a hand free for S/M...

    D&D 5E (2014) What should the backlash be? Your ideas wanted

    Thats what I would do. :) Artefacts are usually extremely hard to destroy, so while it shattered easily it just reforms a few seconds later, but while regaining the shattered pieces it creates a vortex that sucks in everything and everyone in the room and traps them in an miniture elemental...

    Put Your d20 On Trial!

    I had a D30 that was unbelievably unbalanced. It was not a cheater die, looked perfectly ok, didn't feel wrong but it showed a "20" more than half of the time (thats not an overexaturation and at the end of the Session the other players tried it themselves with the same result)!

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Reach Weapon stop someone attacking you?

    * You can attack someone without going into melee with him .. therefore you can move, attack and then move away without causing a free Attack. * With bigger reach you can have much more targets (tactical advantage, especially with multiattack). * In a narrow tunnel, you can stand behind a...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Errata "Vision"

    I think I figured out what the reason for the errata. Before Darkness/Fog doesn't give you anything since you get disadvantage for not seeing the enemy, but since he also counts as blind you get advatage to attack him .. which cancels out and you could attack with no modifier .. which is...

    D&D 5E Player's Handbook Official Errata

    What does the change in "Vision and Light" do? About unarmed Combat .. isn't one of the changes now that everyone has Proficiency in it (I don't think that this was before)? Overall I am really missing some additional Errata (-5/+10 Feats, Continagation), I hate the Ammonition Rule (makes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard's Instrument

    My Level 5 bard has the one with the Fly Spell. And while I love the Item for it's utility (Levitate and Fly .. oh my!) it has a few drawbacks that stops it from being overpowered. * Nearly all Spells need Concentration. Combined with the Bard List where the best Spells are also Concentrations...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Warlock use scrolls?

    I made the same error .. this rule is only ment for specific Scrolls. The Rules for Spell-Scrolls are on page 300.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Warlock use scrolls?

    Btw. I misread the Scroll-Rules from the DMG and thought that everyone can use a Scroll, included Spell-Scrolls! Which I found awesome (wonderful Plot-Helper for many Adventures and that made Scrolls as Treasure useful for all Players). But sadly this was only meant for general Scrolls like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Warlock use scrolls?

    Spells and therefore Scrolls are not arcane or divine anymore. This distinction comes only from the Spellcaster itself. A scroll of Cure Wounds is cast as a divine Miracly by a Priest but cast as a Arcane Spellcaster from a Bard.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D AL Play reports: Princes of the Apocalypse, sessions 1-23

    This is one of my main Concerns with the Adventure. I will GM it soon and I have no Idea how the Sandbox in this Adventure Works (Level 3-15 is a BIIIG span, even with bounded Accuracy). The clues for the different hounted Keeps looks fine too me, but I fear that the deeper Levels are too...

    Sage Advice (18 May 2015)

    Yeah, but the other Crossbows do more damage and have far better range. Like Dual-Weapon Combat, at first it is quite strong, but the more attacks you get the lower the advantage is...

    Sage Advice (18 May 2015)

    That Ruling makes the Hand-Crossbow advantage useless. Also the only advantage the Hand-Crossbow has to his bigger Cousins is that it is one-handed, which is moot if you need two hands to operate.

    D&D 5E (2014) An Introduction to the Forgotten Realms

    Thanks for doing this! Since 5E defaults to Forgotten Realms now, but has no real Gazetter, something like that is really needed! 8D

    D&D 5E (2014) Scimitar

    Just want to point out that dual-wielding Rapiers was a real combat-style. :) http://afencersramblings.blogspot.co.at/2013/07/case-of-rapiers-bluffers-guide.html What I am really missing in 5E is a reason to use the classic Dagger-Rapier Combo. You cannot use it without the Feat, but it's a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Gazetter?

    *Facepalm* The Descriptions are included in the Human-Section of the PHB, including their typical look and Names! How could I have overlooked that! :) So with the Gods and Descriptions in the PHB and the Regiondetails in the Adventure, I have already all the Info I need. Thanks for all your...
