It's worked fairly well for us though I think it should have come into play a few levels earlier. I don't toss that many incapacitating effects at the party or the fighter specifically so I'm not sure I want it more effective. More effective might basically mean immune at that point since...

I just impose disadvantage. I feel the rogue is supposed to sneak up on enemies. If these senses were more rare I might lean that way. But way too many creatures would come off my use list if it caused a auto fail. I'd want rogues to auto fail in stealth about as often as I want to blanket large...

I guess it's a difference in play but I allow stealth to beat those. He's stepping lightly enough or in a way that the vibrations aren't detected or seem natural, moving in ways that they seem part of the landscape to blind sense etc. it's one of the legs up stealth has over just casting a...

At low levels I get it. But the rogue will quicky be at +10 or higher in stealth targeting passive perceptions in the 15 or less range outside things like beholders. I'd rather have a totally clean stealth run with a bit more risk for the rogue than consistently getting spotted but no risk to...

Okay, what's with the find familiar fascination. What makes them great scouts? They don't have amazing stealth skills as far as I can see and I'd think spotting a angel owl would stand out. Or do people rule it's celestial etc origins don't stand out at all. Or is it just the it's disposable...

I find it odd that polymorph is a wisdom save. I think that exaggerates its power. The big solo monsters usually aren't strong there. Nothing like having a cool purple worm encounter foiled with one spell. If it was a gamble to take them down that would be one thing but when the worm needs to...

6' diameter will comfortably fit 3 people for relatively short times. My couch has 6' of sitting space it easily fits 3 guys. Shoulders don't even touch. Now in plate if think it would. Still that's 6 foot line not diameter. Throw down 3 chairs and they'll be fine.

I didn't initially. The sage did. Multi attack is one attack. I try to play by RAW as best as I can in my first campaign to get a feel for how they rules work. I modify things as I get a better understanding of what the impact will be.

it won't fit every situation but isn't that what bullseye lanterns are for? You illuminate directed small areas not revealing yourself to everyone for miles. It allows you to navigate in total darkness and you shut it down when you close in on dimly lit areas that have people you have to sneak...

As I've got more comfortable with the rules I have been modifying monsters. I haven't done it for grappling yet as I said I'm easing up. This is our 2nd 5e campaign and I used it a lot in the first one. Got to keep it fresh. It's many months off but I get to play in the next campaign. I can't wait.

I primarily DM. And I'm trying to ease up on grappling. I overused it in the first campaign. Though having the dragon tunnel through the flying ice castle bottom to pop up grapple the fighter, drag him under ground through the bottom of the castle and drop them to their almost death(made 3 death...

Can narrate. Sure. Narrate well I haven't seen it yet. Just because you narrate a story doesn't mean it makes any sense. Noticing something at the last second is all well and good. That's a perception check not a dex check. Enough rules and class abilities are tied to this that I don't bother...

I think my main beef is I hate the summing spells. Who wants to deal with a dozen mephitis attacking or spoons with animate object. Concentration + bonus action to command with a 4e summoned creature model and I'd of been happy.

He can easily craft his spell list to be wizardly+. With the massive known list bards get having a spell book and preparing isn't much of an advantage. And they get access to spells a wizard never will. Want to summon things in one action instead of one minute boom take the Druid spell. Wizards...

Hell id say the wizard should be better at it. All the wizard is is spells. He has the worst hp, AC, saves, class features outside spell casting. Make them a better summoner when playing a conjuror.

I kind of agree with the bard. Probably the best caster in the game with by far the most impressive class abilities for a caster. At least lore bard. Want to play a great wizard play a lore bard you will be s better wizard than the wizard. Sharpshooter it's a damage feat that increases your...

Ok, cool. I kept reading things like expanded spell book is a waste of a feat. Everything was focused on making a X wizard, like summoner wizard, fire blaster wizard etc. While I am more of a generalist what spell seems cool at that level wizard. I probably should drop my int to nat 16...

Given that one of the epic destinies is non-inherently evil lich I'd say you can be a heroic undead character. Animate dead is already a spell for wizards and taking it does not make you evil. Does focusing on it somehow always make you evil? I think not.

Okay I've ran some 4e, but never really played it. and we were all new enough to the system powergaming was limited. I know when it was coming out they were talking about they didn't want you to need system mastery. And while I never saw objectively bad characters being built in previous...

I don't have the 4e FR book so um what is the difference? If in 3e elmisnter was running around all powerful level 30+ and in 4e he is strutting around at a level 30 epic doodad, what is different. Do the high level NPCs in 4e just sit around drinking tea and baking cookies, or are they...
