    D&D 5E (2014) Wait... why are we adventuring together?

    http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?325177-Cattle-Driving-Necromancers-Bizarre-Campaign-Journal This is an example of players coming up with a central theme for party composition while building their PCs, and it worked out wonderfully, let me tell you. So, if you can tie all of your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you use/allow custom backgrounds?

    If they can make it make sense and not be just a way to grab free skills that aren't on their class list, sure they can go for it.

    D&D 5E (2014) PCs with mental problems and a new Background

    Oh yeah, I see your point for sure, but that being said, I don't think that's much to do with the crazy part, but more to do with the zealot part- I believe a Paladin parading his faith around in a similar manner could get his group in just as much trouble (just like PCs with races which are not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Finesse Lance

    Aaaw right, awesome, thanks for the input :). Now we just have to see if I can get my DM to approve it. (Well actually, first I have to convince one of my players to DM). Anyway, I'll look for the post where I found the rules I listed above and see if I messed anything up. I'll post it here if I...

    D&D 5E (2014) PCs with mental problems and a new Background

    Aaaall, right, I was just trying to give a PC reason to have personality traits from a background he doesn't actually belong to (although technically you can still do that in 5e, but it makes little sense to me how a sane person could, say, grow up in the woods and believe they were raised in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Finesse Lance

    Well, that's what I got as a framework, so I worked off of it. It very well may be flawed, or maybe there are just some interactions between properties I overlooked. Anyway, what would you propose as a stat block for this weapon, since you don't approve of my line of reasoning? (It's cool if...

    D&D 5E (2014) Finesse Lance

    Partially, yes. And, as I said, I was thinking more about the whip than the lance when I concocted this, hence the lack of disadvantage within 5 ft. And the whip's damage sucks (but it's still cool and I would use it for a martial character)

    D&D 5E (2014) Finesse Lance

    I believe the standard for melee weapons is the longsword (I saw a post calculating this somewhere) The logic was something like this: Base martial weapon damage is 1d8, base simple weapon is 1d6 A longsword is 1d8 and versatile (1d10) A rapier is 1d8 and finesse, but can't ever get to 1d10...

    D&D 5E (2014) PCs with mental problems and a new Background

    Do you have any experience DMing or playing a PC that had something very wrong going on in their brain (either created that way or as a result of trauma/magic in-game)? Was it a problem/disruptive to your sessions in any way? How much crazy is too much crazy? Would you outright veto a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Finesse Lance

    I was thinking, would it be game breaking to make a weapon akin to the lance only with the finesse property? My take would be Finesse Lance -Name Pending- Damage: 1d4 (1d6) -Properties: Versatile, Finesse, Reach, Special Special: if you are mounted, you may use the Versatile damage of this...

    D&D 5E (2014) World building: magical trends

    Haven't quite actually changed any of the societal standards for magic, and in my world magic does indeed come from the Weave, but I decided to make an origin story for it as well: TL;DR: the guy that created the universe broke his body down into the Weave to trap his ancient enemy and so his...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Question of Balance (the Inquisitor)

    Awww right, done! I't up in the OP. I removed all the subclasses except Heretic Hunter and Witch Hunter, as I felt they didn't fit the flavor I was going for. Added a third subclass, which hopefully has a "support/disabler-y" feel and hopefully isn't overpowered as hell.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Question of Balance (the Inquisitor)

    It's comparable if it gets bigger IMO. I'm working on my rework, I'll have it up soon, so you can critique it. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) A Question of Balance (the Inquisitor)

    Well, it needs something, doesn't it? Also, do you mean you get to stack 2 judgements twice per short rest or you get two uses and can decide to stack them?

    D&D 5E (2014) A Question of Balance (the Inquisitor)

    Not general balance of the game, just this one feature. You see, I have been looking for quite some time for a decent homebrew class I could use for an Inquisitor. I found this http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/ry-M8IV4g , but I had some problems with it. First off, page editing, but...

    D&D 5E (2014) Survivor Capstones- BARBARIAN WINS!

    Yup :) Edit: Because I can visualize the difference between a lvl 19 and 20 Barb (he gets totally ripped, somehow grows taller) because his stat increases go beyond what is normally human(oid). A lvl 20 fighter... Just hits another person. Granted he can make an attack every 1.5 secs, but I...

    What are your strengths and weaknesses as a GM?

    Strength: -Pretty good improv. -Nice concepts for adventures and campaigns Weakness: -Bad at building fleshed out worlds/characters/places from my ideas (or at least really slow at it) -Tend to rely on improv a bit too much -Make encounters that are meaningful to the story in my head, but give...
