Points taken. Somewhere recently, I remember reading a suggestion to add the level of the spell-slot used to each missile, which would certainly up the damage potential. I'm still musing on the game-balance of that idea. To add to the mix, cbwjm posted earlier today (3 January 2016) a Forked...

There's nothing for you to apologize for. Although unfinished, it has a certain brilliance in solving defendi's problem, imho.

First, kudos to you on how you are bringing a new young player into the game. Your willingness to go the extra mile to find a PC build that will suit his imagination represents what the very best DMs strive toward. Second, I've thought about letting all players take a free feat at first level...

Inherently unsavory, yes, but not unprecedented. Remember that the man who wrote the hymn Amazing Grace went through that very transformation in his life; the lyric "... saved a wretch like me" and others in the song refer to that situation.

... and there it is, SCAG p.116. I stand corrected.

Per a recent Sage Advice, this was touched on: chrisperkinsDnD What's a good build for half drow. Also would they receive lolthtouched powers? — Roderick D. Gainey (@UndyingGotunks) November 6, 2015 I would treat them as half-elves (because that's what they are). No drow magic but also no...

This is the running list of backgrounds [official, semi-official (Unearthed Arcana), and 3rd-party) I've accumulated so far: Player’s Handbook (13) Background Page Acolyte p.127 Charlatan p.128 Criminal p.129 Entertainer p.130 Folk Hero p.131...

In the RW, people will generally seek medical advice when symptoms become noticeable. Sometimes, though, a problem will show up in a regular check up. So ask yourself: do any of the party members get regular health screenings by either the party's healer or by an NPC healer? We know that combat...

Check out this website for ideas: http://www.starwarsrpgindex.com/ The SWSE was not really popular, which had a lot to do with ending the contract between Lucas Films and WotC. This website is better than any of the others I have found over the years. The only group I played this RPG with...

Harper Pins: The Forgotten Realms' poorly developed answer to Blue Tooth. All they can transmit is your allegiance, and the "reception" they get may not be ... user-friendly. Still, I've always liked the Harpers, and Mephista's reminder about Evans' magic-tattoo work-around in the Brimstone...

Conclusion: with a few tweaks, imo it's a workable class.

The Prophet. All good. The idea of using Thaumaturgy along with Celestial Messenger - start with a little ground shaking, let your eyes start to glow, and let that booming voice out: cue Neil Diamond, it's a Hot August Night!

The Martyr. Channel Divinity: Righteous Wrath. Sweet. Extra Attack. Depending on the deity the PC worships, I can't see this as generally appropriate for a martyr. Otoh, moving Blessing of the Martyr from 14th level to this level slot (btw, you didn't specify if Extra Attack was 6th or 9th...

The Saint: Channel Divinity: Aura of Vitality. Should there be a range specified for this feature? Shield of the Faithful: I just plain like this one, but a bit of clarification re the temporary hit points not stacking would clear it up for me. Do you only mean that they don't stack with...

The base class features mostly appear okay to me. A few things: Divine Patronage: I would change the "never surprised" benefit at level 2 to simply having advantage on the roll to determine if the PC is surprised, and would make the use of the benefit require a long rest. Then, improve the...

Before looking at it (I'll get back to this thread after doing so), the fact that you're concerned that it may be overpowered at the higher levels is something worth being concerned about. Balance is important to this game. In the context of your home brew campaign, it may be less of a problem...

Here's one idea: per The Grand History of the Realms, pages 76-77, the history of the Obarskyr Dynasty shows that a commoner, Rathdar Orlenthar, was named Regent of the "boy kings" from 339-341 DR. This was during the long and terrifying decades when Gorauna's scheming destroyed everyone who...

Perhaps the gold dragon ancestor had a human paramour in the way-back-when. The liaison resulted in a child who's own offspring some generations later married into the Obraskyr family.

Just revisited this thread after receiving notice of an additional post, and I'm still very impressed with both the Physician archetype and the Plague Doctor background. Kudos to Storm! and empireofchaos. Choryukami, your suggestion for adapting the Cant feature also makes good sense, although...
