    [/B][/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/SPOILER] I do. What does it mean that the Duke won't seeus? Is the he just barricading himself in his house or is he under some influence? How far is the journey to the Dragonspear Castle? Will we have to camp outside or will there be places for us to rest in...

    It’s kind of like fate points. Compel complications based on your flaws and background

    D&D General Doing Tragedy in D&D

    I disagree. I don’t think you need specific games mechanics to have deep characterization. You can of course but I don’t think it’s necessary - at least from personal experience. I’ve played games with those systems and they work too.

    D&D General Doing Tragedy in D&D

    I’m not sure you need game mechanics to work in tragedy. It’s an RPG. The story is the story. I think there’s been several D&D examples already in this thread

    D&D General Doing Tragedy in D&D

    I have one. The PCs start the campaign in their home village at an annual festival where assassins poison the well and half the town dies. The PCs vow to avenge the town. As the campaign advances, we find out the assassins poisoned the well as part of a prophecy to summon a dark god and bring...

    [/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/SPOILER] "Oh, is that so....if you'll excuse me, I just remembered something." He smiles awkwardly and hastily leaves the room, and hurries down the stairs. He looks around for the other and gives them meaningful looks to follow him outside. Once outside, he sees...

    D&D 5E (2024) Life drain needs to be replaced with Exhaustion

    What is the current exhaustion rule in 2024?

    D&D 5E (2024) Non-Human Party - Campaign help!

    I was thinking the dragon would be more of a mafioso than a chaotic evil standard dragon. Villages paying tribute to him (protection racket) etc… If he’s smaller than people think, he wouldn’t be too keen to attack people or anything and he’d be protective of his secrets and his territory...

    D&D 5E (2024) Non-Human Party - Campaign help!

    I love the concept of a swamp-based campaign! I think undead works well in a swamp and can work for a pollution/corruption theme. Maybe a tomb was flooded long ago and things are now able to climb out. Maybe it’s a section of the swamp people avoided but now it’s able to spread. I like the...

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

    Just an fyi @Tellerian Hawke you don’t get the bonus move from Haste because both Haste and your horseshoes add an enhancement bonus to movement so they don’t stack.

    D&D General Limiting Utility Cantrips

    I don't really think they need to be nerfed. I dislike the flavour of damage cantrips. That's way more boring than using Mage Hand to disable a trap. So nerf damage cantrips that get spammed round after round before you nerf a spell that might get used semi-creatively. So I voted 'Other' but...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    [/B][/td] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/SPOILER] Morgan, who was leafing through his book, looking for the required spell, looked up at that news. He sighed, closed the book and pushed it away. Leaning back in his chair, he scratched his beard absentmindedly, "There's no point. Both Locate Object and...

    D&D General Have you ever used Acquisitions Incorporated?

    Yes but not sure I enjoyed it. I think it was partially how the DM ran it. He used the characters from the books and the contracts seemed so illogical so I’m not sure he was running the franchise properly. Having the franchise was cool but why were we paying so much money to Aqu. Inc? We...

    AtG Howling Crag (5e PBP) OOC

    Almost! Yes to the flying of Doc and Gimlak...They will just fly around to avoid the radius of the torches before they dip into the gorge. Colonel is casting levitate and can be tethered to someone to pull him to the window. (I think we are avoiding tethering him to the flyers because that's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Knight/Bladesinger Multiclass War Magic-Extra attack class features

    I didn’t watch it. I feel like a lot of Sage advice stuff is just them reading RAW without even thinking about the fluff or making ad hoc calls on weird situations they never thought of - Essentially, doing the job of a table’s DM and making a judgement call. I never take Sage Advice as...

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Knight/Bladesinger Multiclass War Magic-Extra attack class features

    Considering that bladesinger isn’t a core PHB class, I imagine they never thought of how the two might interact. If it were a core class, I’m sure there would be less overlap or have some kind of guidance in the rules. The same way it says multiple attacks don’t stack from different classes...

    D&D 5E (2024) Level adjustment from 3.5 and how to handle it in 5(.5)E?

    Besides the fact that 5e seems to be getting rid of species traits, lots of people don’t use xp much anymore for levelling so level adjustment might not matter as much. I’d be more inclined to use extra features when you take a racial level and it comes with HD. Essentially, it’s its own class.
