Finished up running Castle Naerytar last week. Here's some stuff I implemented and how it turned out: - Undead ambushed the party as they entered the Mere of Dead men. Ogre Zombies, ghouls, and ghasts. It makes sense, given the location's history. - I remixed the top of the barbican by having...

As someone who monetizes user data as my full-time job, I'm actually okay with giving Wizards my info. At the risk of sounding like a jerk, the going rate for D&D customer data is... not very high. Your email address is worth, to me, somewhere between two and four cents, assuming you were even...

Yeah, I like the idea of having two arcs with a 5ft range, with a stipulation that the secondary bolts can't both hit the same creature.

Okay everyone, thanks for the feedback. I spoke with the player and he told me that he doesn't think he'll want to convert anything aside from Scorching Ray and Melf's Minute Meteors. I spent some time modifying MMM to make a lightning version that is more true to the AOE/flavor of lightning...

Agreed 100%. And I appreciate the feedback re demons - they don't figure too prominently into the campaign, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

What I would pay to be a fly on the wall of a catholic priest D&D session. New Goal: Run a Ravenloft campaign for a group of catholic priests.

Yeah, kind of a vague question with all the ways you could interpret elite. For me, Elite always means maxed out hp plus a bunch of minor tweaks, like raising their main attack stat to 18 if it's not already there, etc. That's my quick version of making an elite version of a monster. Maybe give...

Browsing the first issue now. This is fantastic. Content galore. Excellent layout. Editor made a comment in his article about making it easily available on smartphone, tablet, or computer, so I'm sure there's gonna be an easy way to view it on your computer before long.

Now that's an interesting idea. I might have a look at that option. Yeah, agreed. I've already told him Zapping Ray is fine, this is more of a thing moving forward. Love this idea! Offset the damage drop with a little flavor or a rider based off what other lightning spells do.

I have kind of a weird experience with this. I played D&D fairly openly in high school and early college years. After taking a break for a couple years, fearing the stigma, I told myself I was "growing up" and began to conform to what society esteems as successful. For 10 years I avoided D&D...

Good morning, fine folks of ENWorld. I was hoping to pick your brains on a situation in my campaign. I have a player with a dragon sorc, his history and backstory is heavily tied into blue dragons and, therefore, the lightning element. He is actually a very savvy player, probably the most...

Currently running Hoard and prepping to run Rise of Tiamat, love both of them. Thanks for stopping by and producing such great adventures. I have a couple fairly lengthy questions, feel free to address only part or all of each question, I tend to ramble ;) 1. You probably get this one a lot...

I love how willing MM is to admit when something was kind of a bust and needed to be reworked (artificer) and how they're using the UA articles to provide possible solutions to high-complaint areas. They really seem to be making an effort to at least appear to be listening and incorporating...

Bosses only, pretty much, and I use them to reward the party, not to challenge them. I can get the challenge by manipulating creature stats, as others have indicated. I'm a big fan of disposable magic items now, though. Finally, there are a handful of items that grant unique capabilities to...

Okay, got it. This is good to know. Suddenly Rezmir's legendary action to take the hide action makes a lot more sense. D'oh. This never occurred to me (both parties having adv/dadv and it canceling it out when both are in a heavily obscured area).

A situation arose in my group's session of HotDQ last week and I was curious if I could get some guidance/wisdom from the resident rule attorneys and other fine denizens of ENWorld. Setup: It's a combat scenario, party comes up against a wizard who casts Fog Cloud. As a first-level spell. There...

This. I'm not holding my breath but I would love some guidance on translating an epic level NPC from 3e/4e into 5e, like Szass Tam or Manshoon. I am aware of epic boons, etc but figuring out how many of them each character would have... I don't know. I should probably just create a high CR...
