I ran a character that specialized in counterspells, and I recall it looking something like this: I ready an action to counter the opponent's spell. Opponent begins casting a spell, triggering my readied action. I roll spellcraft to identify the spell as he is casting it. If I identify it, and...

If the adventure doesn't start with a roller coaster ride, I suggest we boycott.

Wouldn't the name, "Dragons of..." imply the default setting to be Krynn?

Ignoring the beastmaster for a second... Suppose you had a party of four players, and instead of the usual (each character offering their passive perception) two of the characters announced that they were helping the other two on their passive perception checks. Is this RAW legal? Supposing...

If you were going to run this in a pastiche of viking-era europe with D&D trappings, how might you run this?

Are you sure these are dogs, and not human followers in dog suits?

With clerics, it depends on the deity, and the cleric. Some deities are going to care about things like "was his heart in the right place?" and others are not going to have time for that nonsense. Kinder gods are more forgiving; wrathful, jealous gods are not. And then it depends on where the...

Yeah, it's certainly not a table rule. Which comes first on the rainbow, light blue or dark blue? :unsure: But it certainly works for my set.

One use I have found for color is dice: I have a set of clear dice, 1 or each of the rainbow colors. Sometimes when you make attack rolls the order matters. As a time saving mechanism, if I pick up 3 random d20's and roll them, they come in the order of the colors as they appear on the rainbow...

I think OP will continue until paradox gets a 5th edition game on the table. They are still producing a Werewolf book (the Apocalyptic Record) which is something like Beckett's Jyhad Diary only for Werewolf, but that's it; maybe this means Werewolf 5e is not far off. Meanwhile Brucato has been a...

According to the Mass Effect wiki. You have unobtanium in your body, allowing you to mess with gravity. Amps just increase your natural abilities. To me, it's telekinesis, just in a roundabout, science-fictiony sort of way. YMMV

Kaiden's L2 implants result in migraines, other L2 implants result in far worse mental disorders. It is heavily implied that in the early days of biotic study, companies would manufacture accidents so that they would have more biotic humans to study. Also, biotics are more or less Telekinesis...

Bards can heal as well but they aren't great at it, not like clerics... 🤷‍♂️

For me what would help: Elemental restriction: Fire, Force and Psychic. Leave electric, thunder and acid for other classes or subclasses A preference for single-target rather than multi-target effects. Multi-target effects should be centered on the caster (vortex) Excel at divinations...

I voted a new system, but I do think there may be a middle ground between "reskin" and "new system" Every class has their differences. Wizards have spellbooks. Sorcerers have a limited selection of innate spells. Warlocks have a collection of at-will abilities, etc. These all exist to give each...

I understand the criticism of shoehorning in sorcerers. One of my potential players brought up a character concept that was a spontaneous caster, and I said as much as you probably would have; that they weren't part of the setting and we left it at that. And then last night I was playing Dark...

Ultimately, the problem with spontaneous casters isn't the extra spell slots, or their freedom in spending them it's how they learn their spells. Arcane magic on Athas only comes from study- no creature has inherent magical ability. Psionics, yes. Magic, no. So how to rectify a Sorcerer who...

I like the game where I roll dice and pretend to be a wizard.

Sure, do as you please. All I am saying is that the DM who feels pressured or exhausted by this supposed "need" may want to reassess what it is that has them so worried. If the Warlock is a one-man fly-casting machine... what's the big deal? Sure, bye-bye climb checks, but your player chose this...

I'm 40 years old, and I've been playing D&D since I was in my teens. I know what D&D is. My point is that maybe the problem isn't really a problem. You are supposed to be able to take frequent short rests. Classes that benefit from short rests are going to benefit from more frequent short...
