Wanted to make heavy armor Strength base builds feel more tanking if that make's sense? Want to reward them since in D&D dexterity is considered a god stat

That would be an interesting idea medium and heavy having different affects, armor and shields seem to me pretty dull but perhaps I am thinking to hard about the problem??

As someone who is relativly new to D&D and TTRPG in general I did not know that about OSR games thank you for that information. as for the micro math that is a concern and would in general slow the game down which combat is something that can take a good chunk of time as is. I have though...

Never played 3e but you do have a point of dragon scale and other enemy NPC's who are wearing armor but I would be more inclined to let the players have that benefit not so much myself but I suppose that would look funny. As for you idea of a fix to allow full dexterity is flawed in that the...

As the title suggested was thinking on the lines of armor damage absorption with armor having hp of some amount before the adventure needs to go get it repaired. This would apply only to medium and heavy armor to make armor wearing players get a benefit for doing so since thematically they...

All good thank you for your input I did go and read the priest class in the Shadowdark which seems like you could go the Paladin route with it. Myself and a few others in my group do like the paladin archetype which is good that we could go that route

You might have missed the part in my post that I want to import the spell check aspect of Shadowdark to my 5e game to replace the current spell slot magic system. That is why I asked the question for paladin since they exist in 5e. Not to import a paladin class to Shadowdark. I haven't gone...

Thank you for your reply I appreciate your input since having ideas rattle around my brain sound good in my head until you say it out loud. I will definitely have to ponder the idea.

As the title suggested I'm looking at this new Shadow Dark game that is on Kickstarter and immediately back it since it is the system I think it is closely to what I want to try as an OSR game that I want to try in the near future. It uses a roll check for spellcasting and no spell slots I find...

Can always change the supply issues with a twist I know with spells like create food and water being the most for front. The domain of dread could have adverse effects on creation type magic and the yield is lower then normal as an example. Also bare in mind that spell is a 3rd level spell which...

I see, My first though would be if that's what you want you can always add it in yourself. I am also new in comparison to yourself I started with 5e so I am a young pup. I am starting my homebrew Ravenloft campaign using CoS 5e as my skeleton frame work this week and a number of people in the...

What do you mean ?

More flavor for each dark lord for the DM,s to come up with there own stat blocks ?

Grim Hollow by ghostfire games has a great book about Lycantrhopy, vampirism, Lichdom and some others. Its a great book for horror if you want something now vs the official material. Its up to your preference as well

I'm not sure how much control Strahd has over the vampire spawn I know they cant go against him directly but I think they can indirectly. For example she could give information to the adventuring party about castle Ravenloft in subtle ways or even give them items indirectly to help them defeat...

Little backstory I am preparing to run a homebrew campaign in Ravenloft and I am using Strahd as the BBEG I have immerse myself in the lore of Ravenloft new and old and have merge a few of them together. Patrina is a dusk elf that wanted to be turned into a vampire by Strahd but before it could...

Just wanted to asking anyone has seen a forum somewhere about secondary variants for the spell in the spell description it list some options and something the DM can offer instead. I was curious what other options would be viable as well ?

I did purchase the pdf and physical copy I'm a big proponent of hand outs I'm still working on my technique of describing a scene. I like illustrations and other means to set the scene feel it helps describe and capture what your saying. Thank you for your advice also what stormonu said work...

Thank you everyone you chimed in on my question. Will have to take some time to digest might look at a different adventure or make one from scratch with heavy inspiration from the OG module and tales from the yawning portal.
