    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM, do I kill the entire party at the end? Im torn?

    I think you go with the flow. They might be able to legitimately retreat from the battle if they realize it's not going in their favor. They might also choose to plug along, even if it becomes dire. There's a balance here, they'll still have player agency if they comprehend that they've taken...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Revenant Subrace, Monster Hunter, and Inquisitive

    "Monster Hunter" because "Witcher" was taken. :) Oh, and as an afterthought: Rogue: "Sleuth" might be a better choice than "Inquisitive."

    D&D 5E (2014) Revivify - where did that come from?!?

    "Hard to die" is different from "easy to bring back from death". I've no problem with hard to die, but it's "get out of death free" spells that are problematic. Entire religions are founded on people coming back from the dead. The several spells of returning from the dead cheapen the enormity...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revivify - where did that come from?!?

    Raising a character from the dead is my one D&D pet peeve. I don't mind when it's a rare and momentous event, but once characters have low level, mid level and high level access to such power, it cheapens the meaning of existential threats. I've never changed it though, because its part of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Old School adventures for 5e

    I'm running Against the Giants. We've completed Steading of the Hill Giant King and are on Glacial Rift. I'm running it with characters who are 15-16th level and have a few NPCs with them. I'm using the numbers found in the encounters but using 5e stats.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many PCs have you had die?

    I primarily DM, and we've had a few character deaths in 5e. Three out of four characters died escaping from the dungeons of the slave lords (converted 1e module, which I never ran with this bunch, despite gaming with them since I was a teen). It was really a case of poor decision, followed by...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the point of material components when Wish exists?

    Ghost, if the wish casting character is not in the middle of an adventure, he could spend the time he needs saving on material components and resorting to the most powerful magic he knows to duplicate lesser (some by a degree) spells. If he's on a epic quest against equally dangerous foes, it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd spoiler-filled general discussion

    I personally loved the Gulthias homage. Sunless Citadel was an excellent adventure, and it was the first D&D adventure I ran for my children, a good friend and his son. They loved it and enjoyed the entire Ashardalon cycle, and they're still playing those characters converted to 5e, so I...

    My deity would kick me out of Valhalla for asking to be reincarnated as a red-headed, female bugbear. Just sayin'.
