The Abyss, due to its chaotic nature, is infinite in its layers. I'm sure there is an aquatic layer somewhere in that mess, but to my knowledge there is no official lore for it. So it is free for you to build off of and expand to your imagination's reach.

The Heroes of the Realm in my world were kidnapped by a race of shapeshifters. The PCs are currently trying to rescue them.

What happens when two rods of cancellation clash? Does the paradox spawn a Sphere of Annihilation?

tl;dr Chases go in initiative order Quarries can make a Stealth check to hide every turn, providing the Hide action is available Participants can freely Dash 3 + CON mod before making CON checks against exhaustion. Participants can make attacks and cast spells, but risk losing their quarry or...

This is what I do when rolling a new character... 1d10 for Race (reroll on 10), 1d10+1d4 for Background (treat max on 1d10 as a 0). Do this six times, reroll to make sure they're all different combinations. Then roll a 1d6 to pick which one - or just pick the one that intrigues you the most...

The difference between Acrobatics and Athletics can be best sum up I think during grappling. A grappler must make a Strength (Athletics) check to subdue someone by force, but the grapplee must oppose it with their own brute strength (Athletics) or worm their way out of his grip (Acrobatics)...

I was recently reading over LMoP and I believe you could fairly easily rework the campaign for a villain's perspective. Maybe the PCs are working for the Black Spider or one of his underlings and have to keep the map from the heroes? Or maybe, instead of breaking up the bandits/gang, the PCs...

Honestly, some of the best D&D sessions I've had were filled with Monty Python or Hitchhiker's Guide level of shenanigans, but they also had epic moments of badassery. I suppose the trick is finding the balance between those ingredients.

My PCs hardly ever flee from combat and generally don't stop stabbing until all the NPCs are dead. The only time I remember someone running away was the level 5 rogue when he got separated from the party and had 3 skeletal minotaurs on his tail. I've seen players with single digit level...

I think that any good D&D movie will have to be an intentional comedy.

Usually when I make a custom boss battle, I often design the boss as I would a character or take an existing monster and give it character levels. The first one was a lvl 9 death cleric. I even created a pair of celestial goddesses that are lvl 30 characters (Solar is lvl 20 cleric / lvl 10...

I don't see the correlation between these two clauses... Strangely specific requirements for the players. I would think that, providing the players can act in a mature and professional manner then they're creeds and philosophies shouldn't be an issue. My bet is that you've had problems with...

There was one game I played where our halfling fighter intimidated a building (rolled a nat 20) and all of its lights came on. Sometimes shenanigans like this happens in D&D. The most memorable and absurd things can happen spur of the moment, and I've found sessions like that are generally more...

So... This item is fueled by the power of belief? The locked door thinks you're super swell and decides to open for you?

Yeah... I really hope that's a typo. The highest a stat can possibly go on a creature is 30, and I'm pretty sure that was a demon prince. Even if you were somehow able to get a 30 score on a character through a combination of items and feats, you would need to be passed lvl 20 in order to get...

I didn't realize you posted a screenshot and I tried to click the links... I feel silly now.

That's a good point. I believe a Fighter's Second Wind ability is X per long rest, but those kinds of abilities are normally phrased as "X/day" for creatures. Especially since using a bonus action to regain a paltry 10-19 HP might actually be a detriment in the long run.

So it's basically a more specialized branch of the School of Evocation?

Yes, that would essentially defeat the purpose of lichdom if someone could off you by just dropping a big rock on your fleshless skull.

Here's a variant of the Zombie monster that allows for a possible undead plague. I used aspects of the D20 Modern Variant Rule when implementing these. ZOMBIE Medium undead, neutral evil AC: 8 (10% chance of wearing armor: 1-4 leather, 5-6 chain shirt) HP: 22 (3d8 + 9) Speed: 20 ft. STR: 13...
