    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    By your responses to comments in this thread, I get the impression that she is a very well-conceptualized character. She's like a staple food, nourishing but nothing to get your taste buds all a-tingle, and you're looking for some spice. She is stolid and dependable, a salt-of-the-earth type...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    What's her Flaw? Can that be worked to draw other players into taking her less for granted?

    Dnd 3.5 sewer enemy help

    Here's a thought: Steal some of the features of the bulette (MM p.34), but rework the stats to be CR-appropriate for the PC party's level, and re-skin it (re-shell it?) with the Martial Arts Adept (VGtM p.216).

    D&D 5E (2014) Aasimar Cleric build help

    The newest Unearthed Arcana came out on 6/5/2017 with updated versions of class options. The Undying Light option for the Warlock has been re-skinned as the Celestial. This might be serendipity made to order. P.S. Great handle, by the way: "Roi Cohen", it seems to me, can be translated as...

    Starfinder vs Alternity vs Traveller: Which Space Game to Buy?

    Heh. That is, if the slow, slow torment of water-drip torture can be described as "shock" therapy.

    OH! I like that warlock with a Deva patron idea. That is an intriguing concept. It might require re-working one of the existing patron/pacts (Raven Queen? Undying Llght?), which could involve more work than a player returning to the game is ready to tackle. Nonetheless, that thinking...

    - or - ... use the domains you're thinking about to sort out the deities that have those domains, then see which deity feels more "right" for your character concept.

    Starfinder vs Alternity vs Traveller: Which Space Game to Buy?

    I wanted to laugh with this, too, on account of it being in the spirit of the old Disney Mouseketeers singing the Mickey Mouse Club song, and Donald Duck shouting his own name out every time Mickey's was sung. I always liked Donald Duck more!

    what was your favorite long-running dragon magazine comic?

    Perhaps because of the structure of the poll. We each get to vote for only one. If it were a ranked-favorites kind of poll, we'd be getting a more complex understanding of what we enjoyed. Personally, I liked all of the listed comics, and deeply appreciated the skill, wit, and creativity of...

    "... back in '64 ..." and the meter of the poem displaying its "ghastly mess". This, Sadras, is satiric, sly, and delightful.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Spell: Galling Stone

    Yes; ranged spell attack. Also, as others mentioned above, make it a 2nd-level spell. There's Earned Wisdom, and there's Received Wisdom. Your example is the former; sharing it with the rest of us is the latter. Thank you for taking the bullet for the rest of us on that experience!

    D&D 5E (2014) New Spell: Galling Stone

    One more thing: Are there any other spells that allow for an object to be magically created within a target's body? I can't think of one off-hand, but I don't know if this spell would violate general RAI.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Spell: Galling Stone

    So, you've experienced gallstones, eh? And the experience left you feeling mean enough to want to inflict it on someone else. Heh-heh-heh. You're my kind of devious. I've never had gallstones myself, but I know people who have, and I've got enough sympathy for their pain that I'm relieved that...

    Players building v players exploring a campaign

    Yeah, this. I created my campaign world over a span of decades starting in my mid-teens (a not uncommon scenario among lovers of make-believe), in my case in the late 1960s, re-directing it when I began playing RPGs. I've borrowed heavily from both published material and the imaginations of...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Interjection Games Ultimate Runesmithing PF to 5e Public Playtest

    I'm still going over this, but have to leave for work. This is an intriguing concept, and you've obviously put a lot of time and thought into it. I'm impressed. Limiting inscriptions to only non-magical items and tools the runesmith is personally proficient with is a nice spin, carving out a...

    James Bond And The Espionage Role-Playing Game

    Add another to the list: Agents of S.W.I.N.G. by James Desborough, Postmortem Studios, built on the FATE system. Setting is in the 1960s. I've played in two adventures, and enjoyed both of them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Reckless Attack / Mirror Image

    Btw, I salute your coming up with a Barbarian/Wizard. As Leatherhead observed, it's something of a counter-intuitive combination. Otoh, many of us know (or know of) someone who may be brilliant, thin-skinned and hot-tempered. This class combo might become a new trope, unlikely as it may seem at...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reckless Attack / Mirror Image

    Although @Leatherhead raises valid points, I'm with @Rexwell on this one. Even with advantage vs. your PC, the images reduce the chance of your PC taking the damage from a successful hit. Reckless Attack has its consequences; mirror image moderates those consequences a little. Sometimes, a...
