    D&D 5E (2014) Can you craft Cantrip Spell Scrolls?

    I treat them as special 1st level spells. You only get limited Cantrips but you can prepare additional spells as 1st level slots and cast them as 1st level spells. Just from a game world view that you couldn't gain the ability to learn them in the first place if you couldn't actually cast them...

    D&D 5E (2014) I would really like a return of the old Bard class.

    Fighter 5 then 6 Levels of Rogue then take Druid starting at 12th level character. Recipe for True Bard.

    Inspiration is a PC-on-PC Social Skills Question

    I rarely have clerics in the party anymore. People refuse to believe in their power source.

    D&D 5E (2014) Too many weapons?

    Now a four-armed warforged wielding a maul, hand axe, and dagger with an animated shoulder-mounted heavy crossbow turret would be pretty cool. As long as the action economy was maintained that would be fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the Healer Feat Broken?

    I find "whack-a-mole" distorts the framework of the game so I use Lingering Injuries/Wounds at 0 hp.

    Water, water everywhere, Nor any drop to drink

    Thanks for the info. Sorry you self-fulfilled your prophecy My effort is proceeding at a pace I'm happy with.

    Water, water everywhere, Nor any drop to drink

    It wasn't a Warlord class. It was a Fighter archetype. To someone wanting a Warlord class yet another Fighter archetype is a non-starter. Because Battle Master does a small slice of Warlord (Bravura) very well. The Warlord disguised as an asskicker fighter.

    D&D 5E (2014) What would you put in monster manual 2?

    300 evocative illustrations, 200 creature ecologies, backgrounds and hooks for adventure. Another NPC and Beast section - but with fantastic animals. Dozens of innovative creature abilities. And, I guess, a bunch of numbers. And I wouldn't try to revise the monster math to make the creatures...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tunnel Fighter + Veng Pal 7 + Command (Approach) + Polearm Master

    I really thought you were referring to a new Multiclassing/Feat combo. "PAM/Sentinel" is so 2014. At our tables we do the "Blade Gandalf". It's like a combat god, or at least angel. I saw it in a DMs Guild product.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tunnel Fighter + Veng Pal 7 + Command (Approach) + Polearm Master

    That would be a nice addendum for Tunnel Fighter

    D&D 5E (2014) How "optional" are rules like feats and multiclassing?

    I also remove the 'never get cover' and no disadvantage at long range and replace it with +1 dex. So "Sharpshooter: you gain +2 Dex."

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell me about 5E at 11th level

    I feel like there is a disconnect between the why and the what in the game. "Why did you pick that feat?" Because it makes my character better. "What is the result of being better?" Things are easier. Repeat with char op, choose that magic item, and multiclass. So at 11+ you basically have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell me about 5E at 11th level

    After my group fell apart and I started DMing AL and I get many more of these. I find it quite refreshing.

    D&D 5E (2014) OotA: Long rest in Grey Ghost alchemy lab?

    They will get the benefits of a long rest. And still have some Gray Ghosts left to fight the next day.

    5th-7th level PCs vs. Orcus!?

    I think it would be very likely the PCs have a shot at taking out Orcus if he doesn't have his 500hp of undead already or they roll poorly. If the party stays spread out he can't kill them fast enough to win before his Hit Points run out by himself. He needs a Necrotic Fireball not his small...

    Inspiration is a PC-on-PC Social Skills Question

    Battlemaster can do the Bravura Warlord - check. I too believe that 5e has room at the table for a Warlord class - covering some flavor of the other 5 builds. A recurring theme is that 5e does not have room for a Warlord class, and I do think that would lessen it. But I don't see that as an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tunnel Fighter + Veng Pal 7 + Command (Approach) + Polearm Master

    No desire to disprove the combo because it would be RAW if Tunnel Fighting were RAW.

    Inspiration is a PC-on-PC Social Skills Question

    I appreciated Jeremy's take on "magic". The magical but not "Magic"al Warlord nears completion. ... with the magic of friendship. And ponies. And beer.
