    D&D 5E (2014) Attacking on an ally's space before finishing your move?

    Hi guys, This came up during a session last night. With every DM I've played with in 5E you can move into an ally's space and attack from that space so long as you don't end your turn in that space. I'm wondering how all you Enworlders manage it at your table? One player at our table pointed...

    Worlds of Design: WANTED - More Game Masters

    I don't think you can teach those skills in a book and I doubt WotC would know how or else their campaigns wouldn't need so much work. But YouTube has tons of material for DMs that does exactly what you suggest. You can also find quite a few very good DMs online if you're willing to pay...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd question for DMs (spoiler warning)

    I asked before starting the campaign and we agreed I could choose the summons excluding pixies and I would control the summoned creatures. We play on Roll20 which takes care of a lot of the work already and I've really limited the use of my creatures to a half dozen or so above CR 1/2 (so four...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd question for DMs (spoiler warning)

    I'm playing a Circle of Shepherd druid. We are in the Castle Ravenloft and have searched Rahadin's office where we found a file on each member of the party. Mine mentioned that I was a summoner and that forbiddance has been cast all over the castle. Is that part of the module? When we fought...

    D&D General Continuing a Campaign (with the same PCs) after a TPK

    If your players are taking notes you can assume the characters are writing in journals as well. So as long as their bodies aren't completely incinerated you can assume their journals are found by the next adventuring party so no campaign knowledge is lost and continuity is maintained.

    D&D General Do you care about lore?

    Lore is basically history. We can't agree on our own history so it is no wonder that fights about fantasy lore should erupt. If WotC tries to change the lore, just consider it the product of some heretical offshoot cultist group and ignore it. So no, changes in lore don't bother me (unless...

    Beadle & Grimm's Legendary Edition of Curse of Strahd: A Review

    A decent GM can earn $90 running a three hour session on Roll20. Do that for a month and you can almost afford the B&G boxed set. I personally know a GM that was running six campaigns on Roll20 to make up for lost income when he was laid off from his managerial job at the start of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) How to defeat creatures with legendary actions?

    Our DM likes to target spell casters and will ignore high AC martial characters in favor of chasing down spell casters. How do you deal with enemies that can use a legendary action to move after another player without provoking opportunity attacks and can choose to save from a spell? The next...

    D&D General Leaning into the tropes

    In game terms, yes. But acrobatics includes leaping.

    D&D General Leaning into the tropes

    I think you are missing the point. Having finesse polearm with reach would be a welcomed option in a fantasy setting. Beyond that, leaping into the air to bypass an opponents defense to deliver a slashing attack is more of a dexterity move than brute strength. I think a strength based...
