    D&D 5E (2014) How should I lead my players from Phandalin to Greenest?

    My characters may overhear the cultists speaking the dragon and talking about sending him off to Greenest to attack the town. I would then use the same dragon at Thundertree be the dragon at Greenest.

    D&D 5E (2014) Forging Arcane Focus or Holy Symbol into a Weapon or Shield?

    So the rules say A spellcaster must have a hand free to access these components, but it can be the same hand that he or she uses to perform somatic components. So by allowing this to be on a weapon, you could get an extra attack every few turns. Let's say a cleric was 2 weapon fighting and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forging Arcane Focus or Holy Symbol into a Weapon or Shield?

    Actually it would because they could put away their weapon as a bonus action, cast the spell is their action. Then on next turn draw their weapon again as a bonus action.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do players spend their treasure on?

    I'm going to allow my characters to rebuild the tavern that the Redbrands had taken over. If they so choose it could eventually turn into a source of income and free lodging but would be a gold sink for awhile.

    D&D 5E (2014) DM Minion 5E Released

    Microsoft Surface Pro 3, i7 processor It would just basically freeze up until the damage buttons wouldn't work and then sorta greyed out until I had to close the encounter and start over. I'm sure I can recreate it as it did it every time I had an encounter.. I'll try it now.

    D&D 5E (2014) Forging Arcane Focus or Holy Symbol into a Weapon or Shield?

    One of my players has been talking about doing this. I don't think there's been any written rules about it, but what are your thoughts about letting them do this and the cost of having something like this done?

    Are the factions used in the Tyranny of Dragons books?

    D&D 5E (2014) Factions in Starter Adventure (Mild Spoilers)

    At certain points in the adventure, the DM can choose to have characters presented with the option to join various factions. Will these be used in the Tyranny of Dragons storyline, or shoudl I just ignore the factions part? What benefit would we get from using factions? Also the Zhentarim is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does 1d4 damage from basic poison (100gp) cause poison condition?

    This is a strange part of the rules for me as one of my player's wants to use poisons but there's no real guidance. 100g for a one time 1d4 damage? Doesn't seem right. 20 days to brew one potion? Seems weird too.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone else find the arcane magic items in LMofP and in HoDQ over the top? (spoilers)

    Spoiler here as well: They didn't stop to look around the lab at all?

    D&D 5E (2014) DM Minion 5E Released

    I used the encounter part of the software for all of my encounter's this past Saturday and it made things much easier to track. One issue is that about half the time, the screen would grey out during the encounter and I would have to close the program and restart which would cause me to lose...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about Monster Actions

    Do all actions listed for the monsters get as many uses as you want each encounter? My group just fought a Nothic and I only used the Rotting Gaze once as it did around 13 damage in one hit to the sorcerer. It felt as if it was a action that would require a rest to use again, but nothing is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleric Domains and Turn Undead

    I thought Cleric's could choose a spell from any domain. They just got benefits from casting spells in their domain.

    D&D 5E (2014) And now for something completely useless...

    You have to be proficient with the healer's kit to use it. EDIT: Nevermind this is wrong.

    D&D 5E (2014) Unfortunate Wording

    A fighter could cast it. It's a one-time use, so why not? He's not learning how to cast the spell at will like a wizard. He may fail the check and it gets used up with no results though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Identify Spell vs Resting With Item

    I really like that article. The only thing I may do is have the identify spell consume the pearl for each use. I think it possibly meant to say this anyway. Otherwise, once you get a pearl worth 100g, you could cast identify all day and never have to worry about an items consequences. I'm...
