    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for feedback on my cooking homebrew system

    Well, I'm not much of a Pathfinder player, but while that class looks cool, I prefer a simpler approach, especially since I'm looking to add a crafting system to a player of an existing class. Fair enough. I'll make sure that he understands it's not cumulative (unless he gets the DC 22 bonus...

    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for feedback on my cooking homebrew system

    I've considered upping the DCs, but I think I'll see how it plays in-game first. I've told the player it's experimental and I might change things along the way (and I'm not telling him the DCs anyway), so it's always a possibility. As for the cumulative bonuses, you mean that every higher-tiered...

    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for feedback on my cooking homebrew system

    Thank you very much for your feedback! That's something I might look into in the future, but I don't think I'll go into something more complicated then a Survival (Wisdom)/(Dexterity) check, as long as he describes well enough what's he doing (or, even better, if he asks his ranger party member...

    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for feedback on my cooking homebrew system

    I've came up with homebrew cooking system intended for my group's barbarian, a chef from another dimension, mostly taking on inspiration half-cover.com's gourmand feat. Might be worth mentioning that we're playing Tomb of Annihilation, and that it takes place mostly in the jungles of Chult...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideas for a magical whip used as part of a duel-wielding combo

    Yeah, but I did say "in my current campaign" - that's a house rule that I'm using.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideas for a magical whip used as part of a duel-wielding combo

    In my current campaign, the Two-Weapon Fighting Style gives you the option of using the second weapon attack as part of your Attack Action (think of it as another Extra Attack), instead of using your Bonus Action. One of my players plays an Aarakocra Ranger, and I know that the guy is kind of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running a randomly-generated dungeon one-shot

    I don't have time to be a DM on a regular basis, but now I'm going to have a few weeks off, so it leaves me a bit of time to design an adventure. Is the dungeon you mentioned inspired by the one in Planescape: Torment? Because it kinda gave me a few ideas, but I've always felt it was too random...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running a randomly-generated dungeon one-shot

    Honestly, you're right. However, I won't become an experiencd DM anytime soon. I don't really have time to DM at the moment (honestly, I barely have the time to be a player recently), so gaining lots of experience is not going to be so possible. So, when I do have the time to run something, I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running a randomly-generated dungeon one-shot

    I thought of using it, but it loses the gimmick of making up the dungeon as we go.

    D&D 5E (2014) Running a randomly-generated dungeon one-shot

    Fixed. I don't think it has to be that complicated, I'm just trying to think of ideas how I can make it simple.

    D&D 5E (2014) Running a randomly-generated dungeon one-shot

    I've decided to run a one-shot for the group I play in. The only DMing experience I've had so far was running a one-shot dungeon crawler that I designed myself, which went pretty awesome... But with one adventure under my belt, I can't really call myself experienced. Anyway, after letting ideas...

    Making a custom play mat

    After using a laminated black and white A3 grid paper as a map/game mat for a few months now, I've decided it's time to upgrade to mats with backgrounds for each area... Grassland, dungeonfloor, mountains, city... You get the vibe. Does anyone here has some good backgrounds (preferably gridded...

    D&D 5E (2014) Aasimar & Tiefling offspring

    I'm pretty sure there's no official answer to this (do correct me if I'm wrong), but what's the result of a tiefling and an aasimar, uh... Commencing in a, uh... A vertical grappling contest? Is the result either a tiefling or an aasimar? Maybe a pure human (both cancel each other out)? Maybe...

    D&D 5E (2014) Critique my first one-shot adventure

    Dude, that's probably the most thorough comment I could have ask for, I'm basically speechless. Thank you so much! I'm going to sleep right now, but I'll reply when I get up. Thank you for your thoughtful, detailed comment. That's just amazing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Critique my first one-shot adventure

    So, I'm a player in a group of friends playing D&D 5e (in real life) once a week, and I've decided to run a one-shot adventure for my friends, as a DM. While our DM is a good friend of mine and offered to help as much as possible, I don't want to spoil the adventure for him. Anyway, I have a...

    Video Game Influences

    I'll admit that what got me into RPGs in the first place was the Baldur's Gate series. When I first played it (2002 or 2003) I was 10 years old (and English is not my first language), so I didn't get very far, but I was so enchanted with that world, that it just drew me into this D&D thingy, and...
