    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Hex, and Short Rests: The Bag of Rats Problem

    I have no problems with characters maintaining concentration over rest periods. If they can concentrate during a battle, while eating lunch seems more than ok. The only thing I have done, is certify that you can only have up to 2 short rests per day. One in the morning, and one in the afternoon...

    D&D 5E (2014) Shove attack OP?

    I recently have a fighter thats picked up shield master. The shove attack strikes me somewhat OP. Anyone have thoughts on this? You don't need to hit, its just an opposed athletics/strength. Even a low level fighter can easily get +7 Athletics. As 95% of NPCs/creatures have neither a Str save or...

    D&D 5E (2014) To Allow Multi-Class or Not....A DM's Dilemma

    D&D 5E (2014) To Allow Multi-Class or Not....A DM's Dilemma

    Something I did in my campaign, as people were just cherry pickking one or two levels in certain classes (which I found annoying) - Every time you multi-class you forfeit the ability to learn your next feat, as the training and experience is used to learn a new class instead. :) Actually works well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Updating Improved Familiar to 5e?

Allows spellcasters to acquire a more powerful familiar. • You can acquire a familiar of any tiny or small creature of up...

    D&D 5E (2014) Pushing off a cliff

    This has come up a couple of times in my campaigns, never could find anything official in 5e either. Personally, I allow a Dexterity saving throw DC (vs. damage dealt) or an Athletics/Acrobatics skiil check DC vs the check that pushed them. If they save they fall prone at the edge, fail, they...

    D&D 5E (2014) A cleric with "Find Familiar"

    If you have a generous DM, see if he will allow this. I made it for my own campaign. Basically gives a boost so you can get a familiar on par with what warlocks get. Or, if your a warlock, something cooler. Plus it makes the familiar slightly survivable, if you get fireballed. Improved Familiar...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do so many DMs use the wrong rules for invisibility?

    One point I clarified in my own campaigns, is range. If a target is unseen but not hidden (stealthed), perception DC 10 means you can pinpoint a target to 25 feet, and DC 15 general direction out to 50 feet. Beyond 50 feet, I consider even an unstealthed creature to be effectively stealthed...

    D&D General Adventuring Company Names and What They Are Up To

    D&D 5E (2014) New Feats, what are some you have made ?

    Thanks for your feedback, made some alterations. FYI - I use the exhaustion condition. Any time a character drops to 0 hit points they gain 1 level of exhaustion. An unconscious character gains 2 lvls if they are wounded. Battlemage You are a master of the arts of arcane combat: • When you roll...

    D&D 5E (2014) 10HP Bonus for Level 1 Characters. Thoughts?

    I have a strong dislike for rolling hit points as well. Creates way to must variablity. When a character levels up they get their class average + Con per level. As I award (x3 hp boost for 1st lvl) that means a fighter with 14 Con gets 6 (class avg) +2 = 8*3 = 24 hps for 1st lvl, and 8 hps / lvl...

    D&D 5E (2014) 10HP Bonus for Level 1 Characters. Thoughts?

    I don't like having to pull punches. My firstr campaign in 5e was RAW, and I masacred the PCs innumerable times until they hit about 3-5th level. It took only a little bad luck to tpk the whole party. My new campaign I adopted the rules from 13th age. 1st lvl PCs get hps x 3. So basically as...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] The few mechanical implications of... non-magical weapon immunity and CR.

    Since 5e came out, my campaigns have all been set in Eberron. My players and I all like the setting, and i've established a high magic level for low to mid-level items. Its no big deal to grab the train into Sharn, hit a shop in the plaza, and buy an alchemical silver rapier of quickdraw...
