    D&D 5E (2014) Coolest/Scairiest/Most Epic 1st Lvl Boss fight?

    Last time when I DMed, the lvl1 characters entered into the treasure room of the dungeon where they found the hoard: lot of money, two shining short swords, a full plate armor with another short sword in its belt. The armor was an animated armor which attacked them with its short sword instead...

    I know magic items are unnecessary but

    We have just started a new shared campaign where several people will DM (worked for us in the past) and have looked at the xgte magic tables which recommend to give out 100 magic items to a party of 4 over the course of 20 levels. We thought that looks like a bit much so decided to give each...

    I know magic items are unnecessary but

    So how many items do you give to PCs in the course of 20 levels?

    I know magic items are unnecessary but

    Do you have any method to give magic items to PCs? I have seen the tables in dmg and xgte but was wondering if anyone uses something different?

    D&D 5E (2014) Wait... why are we adventuring together?

    If you don't have a rule saying no evil characters and no jerks like someone mentioned earlier and which I enforce myself when GMing then you should have something that binds the opposed characters together, like inheriting something together: A pub, a castle, farm etc which they are not allowed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why penalize returning from death?

    Well, I look at in game money as to have more options to customize your character to become more effective - in combat, in variety of spells or socially. Although I wouldn't deny returning from the dead is kind of special from a roleplaying perspective, the loss of money from death makes you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why penalize returning from death?

    Wow, I didn't think this would spark such a great conversation. In 'death penalty' I meant losing the 300-2000 gp worth of components. This would penalize the character as the ones who didn't die would not have to pay this (assuming money was available) and the dead character would be weaker...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why penalize returning from death?

    This could be a general question as well but let's go with 5e because it is the newest and most modern version of D&D. So why penalize returning from death from a game design perspective? It used to be poorly defined 'loss of level' in previous editions, now it is only the gold cost. In most...

    D20 Future: Heir Occupation too good?

    I think its only an issue at level1, when a character (especially with unlimited cyberware rules) can cyber up himself and be vastly powerful compared to average characters. After level 1 when other PCs can also acquire wealth, its not such a big problem. This said I never allowed heir.

    Too obscure? Well I'll read the book again and tell you if I find something. :D

    Pathfinder 1E A Monster of Golarion

    I am pretty sure I read in some book, probably the Inner Sea World Guide, that there is a great beast who's blood grants eternal youth. Anyone remember where I could have read this?

    So You're a PC building a castle

    My PC would build a castle flying on a cloud. The castle would be equipped with a giant disintegrate ray. The main throne room would include a wall built of glassteel where the throne would face. When encountering other flying fortresses he'd just give the order "You may fire when ready..."...

    PrCs giving ability boosts

    Well I said the same for the infamous changeling/warshaper combo, and it turned out not so powerful as I thought before.

    PrCs giving ability boosts

    Thanks for the help! Meanwhile I remembered forsaker gives ability boosts as well.

    Invincible Lich

    I think by RAW the trick the OP suggested would work if you've just stabbed the bag of holding: "If a bag of holding is overloaded, or if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), the bag immediately ruptures and is ruined, and all contents are lost forever." The wording puts it in a...

    PrCs giving ability boosts

    Anyone know of PrCs that give ability boosts aside from: Dragon Disciple, Acolyte of Skin, Green Star Adept, War Chief or War Hulk?

    Celestial Armor

    Hey guys, I was looking at Celestial Armor from the core book, and was wondering if you could make something like that from mithral? We were having a slight debate whether it is made from (bright) silver or gold, or if only its colour is bright silver or bright gold. Alternatively can a...
