    D&D 5E (2014) Character concepts you've always wanted to play, but haven't

    That didn't take too long... ;) I love this idea! I've got a PBP Barbarian Blacksmith PC who's really smart but just unlettered beyond his trade. It's super fun to play.

    D&D 5E (2014) Character concepts you've always wanted to play, but haven't

    I'd love to play any of the hundreds of characters I've started or stat'd out but never made it past level 5 or 6...

    What system for Dracula as horror?

    Masque of the Red Death - great addition to the setting and real fun play.

    D&D 5E (2014) Half-Elves are taking over my game! (Or are Humans underpowered?)

    Half-elves are patently more powerful than humans mechanically. Pretty sure that is on purpose to bolster the amount of play they see. If you look at the stats from DND Beyond, people still predominantly choose humans. If your home game is seeing a lot of them, I'd drop the Cha +2 to a +1 and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Goliaths WebDM Misses the Mark, but Sparks My Curiosity

    I wanted to counter with the fact that they have Powerful Build which makes them stronger than Half-orcs inherently. But since Bugbear's and Firbolgs, and Orcs (both regular and Eberron) and Loxodon's all get it, that argument falls a bit flat. That said... what game mechanic SHOULD they get...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Paladin Cure Addiction?

    I'd not thought about Lesser Restoration/Restoration in terms of the curing/restorative magics, I know I know. The restoration strain of spells can cure madnesses of different levels. But can they... uff. D&D rules don't do a good job, and I'm not necessarily arguing they should, of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Compare Spell Jammer to Starfinder

    Have you not seen the Acquisitions Inc. and Rick and Morty 5e publications? Not my cup of tea for full-fledged games, but there is definitely a market for silliness in D&D. I'd love to see SJ take on more of the horror aspects that could be present in it. I mean hell, there are planets and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Nobody Is Playing High Level Characters

    Most of those 20th level characters on DDB are probably ones created for YouTube builders like Tulok and Treantmonk ;) Either way, this is just more reinforcing data for them to not work as hard at providing support to the topmost tier of the game, which is a bummer.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters charming PCs during combat

    I love to use charm in my combats, it makes them so much more dynamic I find, the saves have weight! Though I don't try to force PC's to fight each other (unless it's dominate). I do the same "your good friend is being fought by your other friends, how do you handle that?" and let the players...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Paladin Cure Addiction?

    I would say that a Paladin (or anyone with curative magics) can remove the physical effects of addiction or withdrawl, but probably not the mental craving. The question of chronic diseases is an interesting one. Heart disease for instance. Would a cure spell wipe out the plaque in people's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Goliaths WebDM Misses the Mark, but Sparks My Curiosity

    I give them shamans who are all about "vision" and foresight who lead the tribes. Seeing things both far off both because of the altitude they occupy as well as their spiritual "vision" seeing far. It took me a while to get into Goliaths honestly, but once I did, I really came to like them...

    D&D 5E (2014) Understanding DM Fatigue

    I think my DM fatigue is usually more related to the rest of my life. Not enough residual mental energy/time to funnel into DM'ing because of things happening in the rest of my life causes me to fatigue/burn out on trying.

    Character Idea: Necromancer who wants to convince slaving cultures undead are more effecient

    This reminds me of the necromacers in Fire Sea, the third book of the Death's Gate Cycle. They had people who's job it was to maintain the undead. I could see something like this where you create two and maintain 4 per wizard. It would probably make undead actually more costly as a resource...

    WotC WotC hinting heavily that Tuque Games D&D game will be revealed at the Game Awards Show

    Yeah, that trailer has me the opposite of excited to try that game out. It looks like something they just rushed out to have out.

    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM - Your Top 3 Most Hated Spells

    Tiny Hut also has a 1 minute casting time or 10 minutes as a Ritual. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. There are ways around it, it just got suped up too much in 5e to an "auto rest", 99% chance of not being distrubed. Yes. It is a dome of force, not a sphere.
