    Monster Design Questions

    My base seems to be a mimic with some ooze mixed in. I am not aiming for a specific CR but am iffy on how to place it when it is finished. I may not have work today due to the blizzard in the midwest so I might get to do a write up tonight.

    Have you ever intentionally ignored a character aspect?

    That is very similar to the system Pugmire uses. Your class and race each have their own feat list (some classes overlap) and you get a feat at each level. It lets you focus on a specific aspect of your class if you want or creat a more balanced character. All sneak attack and no evasion or...

    Monster Design Questions

    It is going to take me longer than I thought. I need time and space to spread out all the references I need to see at once away from small hands that like to 'help'. That said my ability outline is coming along and I think I need to drop the damage to compensate for all the resistances and...

    Mobile Interface

    Ugh. I'll need to figure out my passwords if I lose those cookies.

    Mobile Interface

    I accidentally hit something that switched from the mobile interface to the regular web view. It is not great for navigating on my small touchscreen but I cannot find a way to go back. Anyone know where it is?

    D&D 5E (2014) Duergar and "nonstandard" races

    It looks like duergar evil (I have only the most passing knowledge of them) is a completely different brand of evil. As a society they are bitter, paranoid and pessimistic. This has fostered a strong get them before they get you attitude with the assumption that everyone else will hurt you so...

    Quick aside, what damage type would people consider being sucked against a small opening by a strong vacuum or wind? Bludgeoning?

    D&D 5E (2014) A Lich with a Clone?

    I don't know if sane and live forever can coexist. The mind eventually breaks down under the weight of memories and you begin to care as much about those short-lived Humans as much as you care about your pet goldfish, fun but disposable and it doesn't really matter if they die today, they...

    About the War Cleric......

    Do I have an incorrect printing of the PHB? My war cleric has martial weapons.

    It is probably going to overloaded with abilities, at least until the drafts get checked. HD and HP are a struggle.

    Monster Design Questions

    I hope to have a rough draft of at least one of three (probably the lowest powered one) up in a week or so, depending on family and work.

    Monster Design Questions

    I am starting work on my first 5e monster (well a progression of three monsters) and was looking for some guidelines. Is there a recommended progressin of Hit Dice and damage by CR? Should there by a limit to the number of special abilities a monster has? What is a good way to determine AC?

    About the War Cleric......

    Anyone else think a dip in a fighting class for Great Weapon style can lead to a fun little burst for a war cleric when they don't want to use a spell? Especially with a great sword and divine strike.

    About the War Cleric......

    Of course you can't respec in AL once you have hit level 5. I think of war cleric like dragon sorcerer, you get that little boost at the beginning to help get you to the point you don't use it anymore (a high level sorcerer probably shouldn't be taking many attacks vs their AC)

    D&D 5E (2014) Might&Magic: the linear fighter and the exponential wizard

    I like this, but right now it is a table-by-table thing. Lately about half to a third of my spell selection is themed. I find it much easier on a sorcerer than a wizard though. I feel my party expects me to have staples like fly, invisibility and haste, regardless of my "theme."

    D&D 5E (2014) UA: Order Domain Cleric.

    I understand the desire for Chaos, but the idea of an organized church of chaos seems strange to me. Much like old variant chaotic paladin's with a code they had to follow. I feel like a 'cleric' of Chaos is actually more like a warlock or sorcerer who channels Chaotic energy more than an...

    About the War Cleric......

    Part of the issue is this forum's general value structure. On the whole people on here evaluate based on a full 20 level progression, as well as for a fairly focused optimization. This is exactly the type of ability that fails those criteria. It is fairly strong when you get it if you have a...

    Cleric of Gruumsh in a party with an Elf

    I like the idea of the god just not paying enough attention to know or care. Another way to go is a bit warlocky. The cleric in some way got access to Gruumsh's divine power without the god's knowledge, blessing or consent. In at least one play test for something I saw an idea that clerics...
