    Monsters for an arctic campaign

    Exception! Instead of tacking the word "frost" onto a girallon, you gotta rename it "Bonerfart."

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters struggling to hit players? Common?

    I do allow purchases, there's just never gonna be any +x armor in stock, and no one doing commission work knows how to make it. Ultimately, I decided back in 3e that I would be a happier DM if magic items didn't enhance attack and AC values, and I carried that assumption into this edition...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters struggling to hit players? Common?

    Reading this, I feel validated for implementing my policy of never handing out AC boosting magic items. I try not to hand out +x weapons, too, but sometimes one slips through the cracks of my laziness.

    D&D 5E (2014) Demiplane walls

    My go-to answer is that The stuff the players see in the Player's Handbook is only the tip of the iceberg of what exists in the game universe, and it's not necessarily the most common or readily accessible stuff the NPCs can access. So, the demiplane spell is just one way to create or access a...

    A GMing telling the players about the gameworld is not like real life

    On the plus side, the whole discussion can be boiled down to about five lines: 10 Playing a game isn't like real life 20 I never said it was 30 Well, it isn't is what I'm saying 40 Yeah, I know. I never said it was 50 Mother may I loop to 30?

    D&D 5E (2014) Demiplane walls

    The spell reads to me like the duration is all about the door. The creation of the demiplane itself is just a happy little accident. It even talks about the demiplane persisting after the spell ends, so I'd totally do the same with dispel magic.

    Natural Weapons; What's Your Take?

    I just have a real hard time not thinking my cat is wielding his claws when he can so readily lash out with them when I disturb his sleep. :uhoh: That said, this whole poll is unanswerable for me. Like I think the claws simply shouldn't work with Pact of the Blade because the feature is clearly...

    Natural Weapons; What's Your Take?

    I'd also like to mention that if you don't count natural weapons as unarmed, then your better treat them as simple melee weapons, or any Monk with a natural attack is hosed out of his core feature. Martial Arts only works "while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons." So, if you want a...

    Natural Weapons; What's Your Take?

    I can't answer this poll. The second answer is a non-sequiter (am I using that right?) to me. I really don't think whether the natural weapon counts as a weapon or not matters to whether it can be used with the Pact. The Pact is clearly all about a weapon that is separate from the warlock, and...

    A little help with Strength checks please

    Yeah, it's not a ruling I'd make, either.

    A little help with Strength checks please

    If your DM is giving large creatures advantage on a Strength contest against a smaller creature, I'd guess he's just using an in-the-moment ruling. It's a core concept of 5e that the DM decides when conditions merit advantage/disadvantage instead of the game providing comprehensive or complete...

    D&D 5E (2014) Kenku - Poorly thought out race no matter how cool

    Wait. Are bugbears the creation of a mad mage? This has real potential! The ferocious grizzly flea and the adorable panda roach are destined to make an appearance in my game soon.

    What are you currently playing?

    I'm playing in a D&D sandbox game where we're essentially do-gooder murderhobos without the hoboing. And I'm DMing a D&D megadungeon-crawl . . . So essentially more murderhoboing without the hoboing or do-goodery. This has been a joy to DM, at the table and during the extensive prepwork.

    D&D 5E (2014) Demiplane walls

    I can't see the answer being anything other than DM Fiat. I think I'd answer some of your questions this way: No, they aren't actually wood/stone but they behave very much like what they appear to be, so yes, you can hammer in nails and hang pictures on the wall. The wooden wall will even burn...
