    D&D 5E (2014) King Arthur vs Robin Hood - how would you do it in 5e?

    Well it's tricky because they were from vastly different time periods, but here goes... With Arthur and his knights returning from the Crusades, where they've been searching for the holy grail, conditions at home have worsened. Robin and his merry men are fomenting open rebellion across the...

    D&D General High Event Play vs. Low Event Play

    I run some relatively high-event games. Here are some tricks that I use. 1. Don't "save" your good ideas. I used to come up with really great ideas, like a vampire medusa or a Tharzdu'un-worshiping shadow dragon or giving all the PCs hippogriffs, and think, "Oh I'll save this for a special...

    Survivor Dragons: BLACK DRAGON WINS!

    The more I think about this, the more transparent Puff's psychological manipulation of poor Jackie Paper becomes. What green dragon could meet a youngster with the amazing ability of astral travel and pass up the chance to guilt-trip the kid into defeating his foes, some sort of extraplanar...

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew items, spells, and sundry that you've added to your campaigns

    Well, I like to create whole subsystems. My favorite is my simplified Party Base system: Party Base Also since I'm running a Saltmarsh campaign, I created some unique stats for ships and CANNONS: More Ships of the Sea

    D&D 5E (2014) If a PC had his brain "eaten" by an Intellect Devourer and then goes into an antimagic field...?

    Came here for Scanners. Post did not disappoint. 5/5 would read again.

    D&D 5E (2014) [How to slay a dragon] Final battle against Cirothe

    Act II is all about prep for the fight so that sounds like the perfect time for it!

    D&D 5E (2014) Understanding Adult Red Dragon

    Even fantasy lava is dense, but an adult red dragon has a Strength of 27 so I think it will work out fine. Heck, if a blue dragon can burrow through sand at 3mph, I'm thinking that locomotion through dense materials isn't a problem for dragons. (Also, if it's still inside the volcano, I think...

    D&D 5E (2014) If a PC had his brain "eaten" by an Intellect Devourer and then goes into an antimagic field...?

    OK, I've run the numbers, and it appears that when you put someone infected by an intellect devourer into an antimagic field, the buildup of thaumaturgons inside the cranial cavity will overcome the negative Δ3-wave pressure from the field resulting in an acute volatile exothermic reaction. (The...

    D&D 5E (2014) [How to slay a dragon] Final battle against Cirothe

    At 7th level, the party should have access to a few gonzo save-or-suck spells. Banishment is surprisingly helpful in allowing the party to pause, heal, and prepare for some super smack-down. Polymorph could also be used quite effectively. Of course, Legendary Resistance may impede these spells...

    D&D 5E (2014) Understanding Adult Red Dragon

    If I recall, Cirothe's lair has a lake of lava. Since she's immune to fire damage, she could plausibly pop in and out of the lake, black-dragon-style. This would let her pop up, breathe fire, pop back down, behind total cover of lava, all in a single round. The only way for PCs to affect her...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are your biggest immersion breakers, rules wise?

    Non-lethal damage. Player: "I swing my mighty greataxe at the foul villain, and roll a... natural 20!" DM: "Wow! Roll damage!" Player: "...30 slashing damage. Oh wait, I forgot rage, make that 32 damage." DM: "An explosion of blood bursts forth as the enemy is cleft in twain by the jagged steel...

    D&D 5E (2014) PrCs: Anathema, or just lack of interest? (Pick two!)

    For me, the thing that would make a Prestige Class worthwhile is if it were truly Prestigious. Like, the Archmage example is good, because you can't just be an Archmage at 1st level. Similarly, things like High Priest, Guildmaster, Grand Champion, and cough Warlord seem like they should be...
