    Help with handing out magic items

    I don't really want to give up wish lists for players but I do want a balanced game with magic items. In light of this, would it make a fairly balanced game if I used either of Oofta's or Blue's tables for the number of items, increased rarity by one step for all armor and ditched all upgrading...

    Help with handing out magic items

    Thanks for giving ideas for me. Just the sort of feedback I was looking for. Now I see that compared to the 'typical' campaign, my system was vastly overpowered. However I noticed that Blue 's and Oofta 's tables are somewhat different. Why is this? Is that due to the number of average rerolls...

    Help with handing out magic items

    Everyone would get their level appropriate items within 1-4 adventures after levelling which might be considered 'pretty much at the same time' I guess. Anyway we played 3.x and Pathfinder for a really long time and our group kind of got used to getting the 'right' magic items as those systems...

    Help with handing out magic items

    Please help me with constructive criticism on a system I will use to hand out magic items over the course of a lvl1-20 game with around 3 or 4 campaigns. The items will not magically appear in front of characters' doorsteps, instead they will find them at curio shops, in dungeons as loot and...

    Map of Chult Turned to Stone! *SPOILERS*

    Have the PCs make Intelligence checks to recall the map and if they fail change the adventure into a survival style game where they need to keep track of water, food and dry socks.

    Baldur's Gate Designer Leaves Bioware To Form D&D Publishing Company

    So incest and polymorph induced offsprings then?

    D&D 5E (2014) Storm giants and levitate

    Any player that has a problem with that can ask the giants to weigh themselves before casting the spell.

    Multi classing Objections: Rules vs. Fluff?

    5e Paladin/Warlock? Seems like Griffith from Berserk to me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Melee Hexblade Sorcerer with Eldritch Smite advice

    I have checked a few places already is there already advice or a build for a melee Hexblade who would use Eldritch Smite on enemies in the same manner as the Paladin Sorcerer? I know this particular build would be weaker because they get no heavy armor proficiency but otherwise looks just as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Move over Fireball and Spirit Guardians, there is a new best 3rd level spell sheriff in town!

    Actually cast tiny servants on your clothes and have them ready an action to attack when an enemy combatant approaches!

    Some random house rules for things that bothered me

    I'm admittedly don't really have in-depth knowledge of Japanese history but I'm not sure if Hattori Hanzo had to duel with a ghost. However wielding a sword from a renowned master-swordsmith indeed gives you tremendous respect (or fear) from your peers which would definitely translate to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with a death knight?

    You could give him a few minutes of conversations. He could be friendlier and more easily convinced to give up treasures if one of the characters worships or is the cleric of his former god provided that Ras T'fima wants to atone for his sins. He could also be convinced if one of the characters...

    D&D 5E (2014) Move over Fireball and Spirit Guardians, there is a new best 3rd level spell sheriff in town!

    Wait, there is more! Cast Tiny Servants on your clothes and in the unfortunate event of falling to 0 hp they can work together to disengage and carry you to safety all the while feeding you that much needed health potion. Dropped your weapon due to a fumble roll? Never fear, your trusty boot...

    NEVER let your engineer players calculate anything in any game.

    D&D 5E (2014) Emporium Items

    I'd use a number of Common Magic Items from Xanathar's.

    Sense8

    While I enjoyed the show I will go ahead, be blunt and say that statement that the show is "the kind of work that culture will remember for centuries" would be somewhat of an exaggeration. Otherwise we have long been making jokes that the PCs have a "collective intelligence".

    What year is it?

    My game is set in 1495 and onwards which would give seven years for the war against the City of Shade to calm down and all remainder of the shades states to become forgotten realms.

    Oh well, in this case we'll just continue slaughtering/dismembering monsters/commoners in dungeons/cities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    With all the dungeon crawls for DnD I'm really thrilled to have an 'investigation' type adventure finally. Looking forward to this! :)
