    D&D 5E (2014) How would my group fight a Poltergeist?

    I made some changes to the poltergeist, like allowing it to speak, specters cant speak, and made it an innocent little girl, that spoke to the party. Since they decided to go along with the antics of essentially a 100 year old neglected child long enough, they passed the encounter. They played...

    D&D 5E (2014) Building an Undead Army!

    Why not all 4? Or at least don't cement yourself to one. Let the legends be unclear about exactly what the leader is/was. Maybe even throw them off by having an exceptionally strong minion of the BBEG be one of the 4. Or the 4 are just puppets like the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. M.Night...

    how many attacks should be allowed per round before its just nonsense or a pain for running a game.

    I ran a spider summoning drow druid in either 3.5 or 4e. I honestly can't remember, but i was making 6-8 attacks a round. I sped all this up by rolling damage ahead of time and just slashing through it as I hit. It was fun, but still cumbersome even with the pre-determined damage.

    "I don't know, where am i supposed to go?" Alice sniffles a bit, rubbing her forearm across her eyes, before letting off a slight giggle. "It's not time for hide and seek silly" she says to Ramas. She walks over to the box he ducked behind. Looking back at the party she eye Tarukka curiously...

    I'm sorry, I think the ISS just did pass-over. How does one even calculate chance to hit? If this is already explained somewhere else, I don't want you to have to redo work. I'd like to use this knowledge to do some calculations for myself as well.

    You should read the link i posted toward the end of the previous page. Granted, a DM can rule however they want... For the extremely lazy among us.

    Luthor feels the spirit of the High Captain, a feeling he had not felt since setting foot on the Manor grounds. Ramas' tattoo is reminiscent of Dragon Marks or the fabled tattooed monks, both of which granted the recipient with powers. Reaching the end of the tunneling the party heads back...

    Except booming blade doesn't prevent anyone from moving... but let's get back on topic. Does anyone feel like explaining to me how you guys come up with the damage per round calculations? What's assumed based on chance to hit, etc. Or just point me to a thread that already explains this. Sent...

    If that is truly the case, then i misinterpreted it. The use of the word 'hover' paints the picture differently in my head. Fuel for your fire, sir.

    Under flying movement (pg 190 PHB) Flying creatures enjoy many benefits of mobility, but they must also deal with the danger of falling. If a flying creature is knocked prone, has its speed reduced to 0, or is otherwise deprived of the ability to move, the creature falls, unless it has the...

    Kulan: Knightfall's Heroes of Carnell Game [IC]

    Aureus retrieves the key from one of the many pouches on her belt. She extends her arm for one of the guards to accept it. Her poor command of the common tongue makes her think twice about speaking. She looks to her companions to try and convey the message she's sure they are all feeling right now.

    Tarruka has 13 hp, the 8 damage you did to Mr. Creed revitalized you a bit... Anyone trained in religion who think their training would include knowledge about undead can make a check as well as people trained in history who believe their studies might have included undead.

    The floating lights seems illusory in nature, as they float through objects. Closer inspection reveals them to be very tiny butterflies... strange.

    Would never argue to the contrary, however a honey-pot style succubus is just the right amount of crazy to interest me. Which was completely unrelated to the math statement in case there was any confusion.

    You're saying what I've been content to just keep in the back of my mind and apply as an overlay to these calculations. The one game I play a fighter/warlock almost never gets to fully use GFB. Same goes for the bladesinging wizard in the game that I run. I'm not into number crunching, but I'd...

    As the wraith vanishes and the parties tensions start to fade they notice a number of things. There is a plethora of glowing firefly like orbs floating around randomly. They emit enough light to clearly light the area and cling to the party as they move about the chamber and beyond. Stone...

    Starfinder: Red Dawn (OOC/ FULL)

    I can work with that. Perhaps rewrite the last bit about being sold, but keep the part about being created to be an assassin. Would it be an ok flair to be able to change my hair color at a whim like in aeon flux?
