Yeah the forces of good are vital in the last battle. Without them the encounter becomes nearly impossible as extra forces are arrayed directly against the party. The forces can also be assigned tasks which directly interfere with the summoning of Tiamat and reduce her combat ability. The module...

We play virtually in general but meet up several times a year for face to face games. We use Roll20 to hold the characters sheets so when at the table we mainly just use it for that aspect. We all use laptops or tablets anyway. Its also still useful for the DM to share pictures etc. We don't use...

[SPOILERS] What I meant was there is a way in the module to break the spell immunity and if the party doesn't they are likely to fail - but you didn't fail which is cool. And once mid level spells become an option there are more chances to try and use up the legendary resistances. The DM sounds...

Yeah you did pretty well as a party to beat her as most of the abilities are her godlike ones. The module states that unless you remove those immunities through other actions you stand little chance of survival so you must have played well as a group. The spell and elemental immunity in...

I like both worlds pretty evenly and our high level campaign does a fair bit of plane jumping between the two when needed. I'm happy this adventure seems to cover the elemental princes theme without dragging Tharizdun into the plot. I'm not against Tharizdun being a multiverse threat rather than...

Really? I mean, I know you are right but that's so mechanical.

Champion is good when you multiclass. Its abilities scale well through the game and are not level dependant like the other two sub classes. 19-20 crit is still great at high levels, whereas 4 x 1d8 superiority dice loses some of its appeal. Proficiency bonus to skills simply gets better. You...

I assume he is specifically referring to the Great Weapon Master feat which will guarantee a bonus attack a round in this scenario, two weapon fighting, or most probably Polearm Master which grants both bonus and reaction attacks against your typical orc horde

Its just that the other focus's are a bit easier to access quickly. Clerics and Paladins can stick theirs on a shield or around their neck for quick access, wizards, sorcerers, druids and warlocks are probably good using a staff and often have a free hand anyway for the expensive components...

I play fighter spellcaster...actually a fighter/wizard but the same problem as the Eldritch Knight. He uses a two handed sword so I just assume manipulating between hands takes no real effort. Grab in one hand, cast a spell, grab with two - that kind of thing. If it wasn't that way there would...

It probably rarely affects wizards since they typically have a hand free in addition to holding a wand or staff. Clerics and paladins would have their focus on a shield or around their neck so all they would need to do is put their weapon away. Other than that a spell component pouch would work...

Need to sheath your weapon before casting a spell. No particular problem except you won't be able to make opportunity attacks until you get your weapon out again. Probably best not to use a hand held focus as you won't be able to get it out - use a component pouch. I guess using a shield or two...

I'm pretty good with those answers as that's how we have been playing it. Specifically for the free hand requirement my cleric puts his weapon away if he wants to cast a somatic spell and gets it back out next round if he wants to attack. Seems easy enough. The gesturing with a shield might...

We have played a single high level session (20th) and it seemed to work out pretty well. We have another in a couple of weeks. Things I observed... Bounded accuracy seemed to work. We fought against several horned devils (CR11) and a horned devil boss (max hit points and a magic weapon) and...

It looks very good so far. Immediate choices about adventures you want to do much like LMoP. Lovely maps. Interesting encounter locations. I can see a problem with multi table encounters evenings though. Due to the fact a group can visit encounter locations in any order, somebody who swaps...

There will be a pull down projector screen with the air con controls hidden behind it. Once you raise the screen you can't find a way to lower it again and make it stay in place. The air con controls don't actually work anyway - numbers change but nothing related to heating or cooling happens.

The first section of the adventure is available on the adventurers league site if you are organising an encounters game. It contains these maps with the area details

Having just had a quick look, Princes of the Apocalypse is looking much more open than HotDQ. Plenty of hooks, chose which to follow in any order etc. Maybe you are being a bit harsh since I would say Wotc have only released one adventure path so far so its hard to judge yet. Even then some...

The main benefit of hiding during combat is so you are difficult to target since the attacker doesn't know where you are, and even if they do but can't see you they attack with disadvantage. Most of the time you don't need to hide if you are looking to gain advantage on your attack rolls. You...

When you remove the importance of initiative on attack order it becomes about movement. Moving into advantageous terrain or moving a unit to block another unit from attacking their desired opponent. So for example you could move a unit of tough highly armoured dwarves into melee with a unit of...
