    D&D 5E (2014) Why does no one play Goliath?

    I've looked at them a few times in 5e but have not yet been convinced to give it a go yet. Now in 3rd, after RoS came out I played a Goliath Bar/F with Mountain Rage alternate racial ability, so that when he raged, he actually became Large sized for all purposes. Pair that with the Fighter...

    D&D General Throwback Thursday Fun: First D&D Death

    2e multiclass Half Elf, F/MU I believe. Had a save vs spells of 2+. Rolled a 1 vs Disintegrate, was flying in mid air at the time, nothing but a rain of magic items hit the ground.

    D&D 5E (2014) How to build a Twilight Domain Cleric of Exandria's Moonweaver?

    I have a 5th level Dex based Twilight cleric with a longbow. Shooting people from outside their darkvision range is pretty funny because they aren't expecting that.

    OSR Must OSR = Deadly?

    In a 1e party, you need to have your elves and rangers sneaking along to surprise monsters 1-3 or 1-4 on the d6. Then the rest of you pile on in the surprise segments.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranger Primal Companion Options

    I think that is only for the Summon Fey spell itself.

    D&D 5E (2014) Most Humiliating Way To Go

    Oh man, I just remembered this one. 2e, another player has a cleric, we find a Pit fiend or Balor (which ever one had the vorpal ax) held in a Magic Circle. Cleric tried to banish the BBEG. Failed, broke containment, and got his head lopped off by the vorpal axe on a 20. My longest running 2e...

    D&D 5E (2014) Usefull falling damage?

    I had my 17th level Paladin do a 150ft elbow drop onto an enemy Paladin* and followed it up with a critical hit on the weapon attack. He died, I took 12pts of damage. (falling dmg split, and had a Stoneskin cast on me for half again.) *The other Paladin had just failed its save vs Hold Person...

    D&D 5E (2014) How fantastic are natural 1's?

    Nat1's are great. I love having one in my portents as a DivWiz so I can slip it to some sucker after casting Hold Person as a bonus action using (UA) Metamagic Adept-Quicken and then go on to smash them into the dirt on the same turn.

    D&D 5E (2014) Removing Concentration From Smite Spells, Including Spells like Ensnaring Strike?

    Taking Concentration off smite spells would be awesome as I can still use Spirit Shroud and spam Thunderous Smite too. UA SpiritShd is my goto damage enhancer for my Paladin. Having SS up is like a free smite every hit. I see they have reduced the higher level enhancement to 1d8/2 levels...

    AD&D 1E What makes a D&D game have a 1E feel?

    Bring three characters, expect two to die. Once you step out into the world you have no idea what to expect, no nicely scaling-with-level encounters. The random encounter table for forest has a green dragon on it regardless of what level you are. Characters had lower hp and once you hit name...

    D&D 5E (2014) Unearthed Arcana: 16 New Feats

    Good job quoting me 37 minutes after I edited the post! I'm impressed. Also after pushing them back 5ft you can walk away from them w/o an AoO so they would need to take the damage or do nothing the next turn.

    D&D 5E (2014) Unearthed Arcana: 16 New Feats

    Oh man I have a Paladin that would love MM Adept and Piercer. Quicken a Hold Person and bonus damage from auto-crits. (Half Elf Dex build with a Rapier)

    D&D 5E (2014) All weapons doing d6?

    Here's what I'd been thinking about. Characters do their hit die in damage with normal 1h weapons. Light weapons do 1 die size smaller Heavy/2h weapons do 1die size larger, with the option to substitute 2d6 for 1d12.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Boring?

    I'm stuck in a party playing DMM. I'm sick of it by this time, but the rest of the party insists on staying in it. We're on the 8th level and our characters are 13th level due to some side adventures. We're completely trashing every encounter so far despite having the world's worst Sorcerer...

    Advice for Fighter please

    Or your advice didn't fit my play style. I looked at the Critical feats suggested by another poster and plan to adopt some of them.

    Advice for Fighter please

    Forum freezes on me when I try to edit the last post (twice) so I'm going to add it here: Edit to the feat progression above, I think I'll drop the GWF @ 9th, and get Cleaving Finish. Then get Vital Strike and VStrikr,Grtr @ 10th and 11th. 12th is GrtrWpnSpec, then Critical Focus, Bleeding...

    Advice for Fighter please

    I'm thinking of taking Cleaving finish next level as I could have used that to great effect this last combat session and Impr Clv Finish @ 11. retrain missile shield for Vital strike and take grtr wpn specialization @ 12th, then improved Vital Strike @ 13th Critical Focus @ 14th, Staggering...

    Advice for Fighter please

    My group switched over to the Pathfinder system entirely for the current group. I decided to play a fighter just to see how it would work in Pathfinder, sword & board no less. Human Fighter 9 S22 Dx20 Cn16 Int15 Wis16 Cha12 AC 29 Fort 11 ref 10 will8 CMB15 CMD30 Power attack cleave weapon...
