    D&D 5E (2014) MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools

    First...thank you for putting these sheets together, they are awesome. Not sure if this has been addressed elsewhere in the thread, but my search-fu blows. When I use the spell sheet to create multi-class casters, the section headings get skewed. The slashes cover up the Subheadings...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Dealing Death: Handbook of the True Assassin

    I think you may be missing the point of the original guide. The OP has put forth an idea that with only 3 levels of rogue, he's figured out a build which can be more deadly than a straight rogue/assassin. Your mileage and opinion may vary, but any build which starts with Fighter2/Rogue3...

    Thoughts on feat for an archer

    Thanks. Ended up going with the Resilient (Wisdom), which turned out to be a good choice (at least in the short term) since we promptly ran into a mind flayer who tried to dominate me. (Int saves still suck...) I think Magic Initate and Defensive Duelist may come in later. DD may be the...

    Thoughts on feat for an archer

    Thanks for the ideas. Resilient (Wisdom) was something I remember looking at when I created the character (and may have been why I left my Wisdom at an odd number). For Martial Adept...at 8th level, I already have 5 maneuvers and 5 dice which recharge with a short rest. Voort, have you been...

    Thoughts on feat for an archer

    So my archer (battlemaster fighter) just hit 8th level, and I'm waffling on what feat to take. He's a variant human, so the Sharpshooter feat was taken at level 1. Dex maxed with ASIs at level 4 and 6, plus he picked up an Amulet of Health early, so I'm not bothering to increase Con. Wisdom...

    Running OotA at Home - How do I award DT and Renown to the players?

    If by published adventures, you're referring to the hardcovers...there's no well defined rule. An AL Coordinator can (and should) correct me if I'm wrong on this, but the ALPG (p5) states "If you’re playing adventures with multiple episodes (including adventure products like Lost Mine of...

    Secret missions in AL

    It *sounds* like you're assuming that the intent is for anyone to be able to reach Rank 5 during S4...or even for a lot of people to be *able* to reach it. The idea of PCs being "leaders" in the faction needs to be defined. If they're going to define leadership as meaning that a Rank 5...

    Secret missions in AL

    One thing that comes as a surprise to many people is that the secret missions are *only* in Expeditions modules, not in Encounters or in the published adventures. So if you leveled a character up to Tier 3 via Rise of Tiamat or Princes of the Apocalypse, you've essentially leveled past *most*...

    The players know too much

    To this point, not all players who come to game stores are "good players". It's the nature of a public league. We've a few players across the stores I play at that play there...well, because they don't get asked to play in private games. People are going to know things. Especially if...

    D&D 5E (2014) 215 D&D 5E Character Sheets!

    I've been using the MorePurpleMoreBetter sheets lately. There's a bit of automation in the sheets, which saves me the need to do a lot of typing. Plus it comes with a spellbook creator, which is exceptionally helpful since it contains blurbs on what the spells do.

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Dealing Death: Handbook of the True Assassin

    What Crossbow Expert gives you by removing the Loading property is essentially give you a way to have a crossbow's rate of fire keep up with a bow. Not counting action surges, hastes, or anything else, a 11th fighter can shoot 3 arrows with their Attack action. The loading proficiency of a...

    Changes or No Changes

    You only touch on the primary problem. The Expedition modules are not all released at once. Many are tied to release dates at cons, others are later in the storyline. So when a store runs through all the available modules for the season, they can rerun the content from previous seasons...

    DM Encounter Flexibility for Published Adventures

    I'm late to the game here, but I've found two things to be helpful when making encounters more challenging for players...especially when you have a table of 6-7 players who are 3-5 levels above the module's recommended party level. (We do need a rating or three *above* Very Strong) 1) If you...

    Exclusive Adventures for DnDAL

    It's an interesting way to try this out without opening a Pandora's Box. But, Inviting the admins to LGS seems like it would only work for larger stores, not ones which can only get one table worth of players. Especially considering most LGS are mom/pop establishments which aren't going to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bardic Lore: A Basic College of Lore Bard Guide

    What Mordie said. Also, Fire Bolt doesn't give the target a saving throw...you have to hit the target's AC. (You were a little unclear as to what you were saying) As you take different attack spells, consider not just how much damage they do, but what defense they target. * Against the...

    AL Intro Pamphlet for Brand New Players

    Sorry all, got distracted by RL (friend went into the hospital, he's fine now). I took the feedback and incorporated it. https://imgur.com/h3UMSXa The plan is to have 3/sheet, but I'm wondering how common it will be for people to have access to duplex printing...it's easy for me to get...

    Starting with Magic Items in OOA (Spoilers)

    I had a chat with the player with the item, the DM with the new character, and the DM of OotA (Tonight was their Session Zero). We suggested that they would likely be happiest if they started the game without magic items. Once they realized something was up, they went with this suggestion...

    AL Intro Pamphlet for Brand New Players

    Here's a first draft. Room for a lot of improvement, but it gets us a strawman to start with. Going with Koren n'Rhys's idea that 3/page might make good bookmarks, since people who would want to actually push this kind of things could stick them in people's books. So ignore the middle...

    Starting with Magic Items in OOA (Spoilers)

    Except that it's been pointed out in other threads that the DM reward cert is only allowed on a brand new character. So thanks all...I kinda got the basics of what I needed to help the three people in question: * There is a place in the module where it makes sense for players to recover their...
