    D&D 5E (2014) Is Intimidate the worse skill in the game?

    except the moderate DC for level 8 is...16. in fact, the only level where 14 is a moderate DC is level 4. that tells me that the level being considered isn't the character's.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Illrigger: Why I hate this class and love what it could have been.

    the only change i don't like here is "knave". it sounds like an alternative rogue. ironically, i think "varlet" sounds better.

    Looking Back on 2024 – Looking Forward to 2025

    i had a few big things in 2024 - the planestrider's journal, voidrunner's codex, and monstrous menagerie 2 for level up pop up in my mind first. ironically, the latter (which is the latest release) is the one i've actually used most so far. war of immortals for pf2e was also notable for me, even...

    ZEITGEIST Cypherblade's Zeitgeist campaign

    my understanding is that there's two sets of gears - the first set is at the entrance of the gyre and grinds each plane down to being about 30 miles across. the second is the one at the end of the gyre and that one destroys planes entirely (and possibly reincarnates them but that's not super...

    ZEITGEIST Q's About Running the Zeitgeist AP [my players keep out!]

    the SCP is a thing that already exists within risur. there isn't really any detail about it but i believe the NPC that gets you to slate at the start of adventure 6 is part of it. that could work - just give the acronym a meaning, give the organization some detail, and there you go.

    ZEITGEIST Q's About Running the Zeitgeist AP [my players keep out!]

    well, it's not quite the full police force, but it is a sizeable (50 strong) task force.

    D&D 5E (2024) Bracers of Defense vs Ring of Protection +1

    i'd stick with the ring, personally. saves can be way nastier then attacks.

    Level Up (A5E) Multiclassing and maneuvers

    yeah, and you count as an 11th level ranger for the purposes of determining the highest degree of maneuver you can learn.

    Level Up (A5E) Who are the great wyrms?

    neither - they're seafaring lightning breathers.

    Level Up (A5E) create groups of same enemy into mobs

    see, the problem here is that you've completely misunderstood the trait. the damage and Healing trait doesn't multiply the damage and healing the squad receives - it multiplies the damage and healing the squad DEALS. so, for example, if the base creature can deal 1d8+2 damage with an attack (or...

    Level Up (A5E) Horde Monster basic question

    a horde monster is one monster that's intended to be run as part of a larger group of horde monsters. so one horde monster is one monster. the kobold dragon warrior isn't too crazy. it has 25 (8+con mod of 2+cr of 15) hp, has the attacking ability modifier (+5) and proficiency bonus (also +5)...

    Level Up (A5E) Heroic monsters and animal companions

    it's only one specific use of it that's at odds with player features. there's still plenty of other reasons to use heroic monsters.

    Level Up (A5E) Heroic monsters and animal companions

    the simple solution here is to just...not use the heroic monster rules for party pets if a player is using one of these subclasses. you could also let that player swap subclasses and have the heroic pet instead.

    Level Up Gateway My attempt at an Aragorn!

    are these supposed to be the characters at the start of fellowship? because if it's supposed to be them by the end of return of the king, i feel like having sam only be level 1 is slander.
