I often wondered where they came up with the idea of an Ancestral Guardian barbarian. Is it from a book or film? I thought it might help role playing the special abilities if I knew how it was originally described rather than defaulting to, "I use my reaction on spirit shield." If anybody has...

How does your DM handle traps and such? Is it the Perception/Investigation/Thieves tools combo? I hate that because that's too much depending on dumb luck and I don't think rogues should have high wisdom scores or else they would have gone into a more sensible profession. I disagree based on...

He bases his damage off of the avearage damage a warlock could do with Hex + Eldrich Blast.He's assuming +7 to hit by level 5 (which is higher than his optimized Shepherd druid). Pasted from his video:

So the Level 5 druid above with a Wisdom of 16 with a +1 Moon Sickle would get a +7 to hit on his fey spirit? That's awesome. That means the DPR for a druid summoning the fey spirit and attacking with cantrips after that is going to have a lower DPR then Treantmonk's baseline of 16.5 DPR...

The way our DM presented it was that there were these strange attacks against towns and villages controlled by the various factions all across Faerun. So we (the party) were made up of representatives of the various factions assigned to work together to investigate these attacks and discover...

Thanks for clearing up the proficiency bonus guys! I'm assuming the benefit of multi-attack by the polar bear at +7 is cancelled by the fey spirit's bonus action Fuming that gives it advantage on its single attack roll. My very rough calculation for average damage showed that the polar bear...

Hey guys, Can someone please someone confirm the correct attack bonus for the summoned fey spirit from Tasha's Summon Fey spell? I think it is either +3 😩or +6 😲 for a 5th level Druid with a 16 Wisdom. Below is the creatures stat block. Highlighted in yellow it says that the "Proficiency...

I like them both. I'll run them by the DM to see what he says. The multi attack works well if people use mob rules since the to hit bonuses and damage are the same.

#5 Should be Run Away. In a recent encounter, we ran into a group of werewolves. Our spell casters threw down area of effect spells between our party and the werewolves so that they would take massive damage trying to get to us. So the werewolves just ran away. We had to drop our spells and...

Thank you! I thought the black bear's multi-attack made their AC and HP so low. But recently I saw a thread mentioning CR 1/4 Velociraptors that have multi-attack and pack tactics. So I have no idea how they balance these things.

Supposedly it's the eight wolves that makes them overpowered and an annoyance to some due to all the dice rolls. Even if you use mob rules, eight attacks against an AC 14 creature will statistically hit for about 25 to 30 HP per round. No other beast comes close to that under CR 2. So four...

Maybe have one (if your DM uses flanking rules) or two wolves (using the help action without flanking if each help will assist on separate attacks; I don't know if that's RAW) assist your GWM barbarian so he doesn't have to reckless attack the enemy? My druid is at level 7 and our party is not...

That is like Adventurer's League speed of leveling. Frankly, I would not like that. I would want to be able to test my super powers in many different situations before gaining more super powers. Our group never gets analysis paralysis in combat because our DM defaults the player to the dodge...

I found this thread while searching for a 3rd party CR 1/2 beast to replace the wolf for Conjure Animals since my DM is butthurt that my eight CR 1/4 wolves are wreaking havoc on his encounters. I believe most people regard the wolf as overpowered but there isn't a decent alternative to it...

Toenail of Vecna This magic item consists of a fist sized reliquary suspended from a pole by a short length of chain. Inside the reliquary is the toenail of Vecna. It has 3 charges per day. A creature hit by this artifact takes 1d6 bludgeoning + 1d4 necrotic damage. By expending a charge...

CoS is known as a gothic horror campaign. If you remove those elements then you should tell your players up front so they can choose to pass or not on the adventure. For the Vistani, you can re-flavor them to Scotts-Irish settlers of mountainous regions of the mid-Atlantic coasts travelling in...
