    D&D 5E (2014) The curious case of the double-dragon sorcerer

    Counterpoint: I think full damage type immunity all the time would be fine. There's a few monsters that get the screw pretty hard in this situation, but not too many to really make it problematic, in my opinion. Go ahead and take that lava bath, buddy -- you've earned it. Cheers, Roger

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a PC perform a miracle with a stat/skill check?

    I'd probably allow this. Spend your Inspiration, narrate how you saved this villager's life. You want to make it prayer, sure, fine. What, you don't have any Inspiration? Awww, too bad, they're dead -- all because you couldn't be bothered to roleplay your Flaw. Next time be greedier or...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E PC stat block?

    I cobbled something together for my pregens file; feel free to abuse it as you see fit. E.G.: Diesa Torunn, Dwarf (Mountain) Fighter (Defense); S20 D14 C18 I14 W15 C15; 14 hp; Animal Handling, Athletics, Intimidation, Perception; Dice, Vehicles (Land); Common, Dwarvish; chain mail, shield...

    D&D 5E (2014) When PCs Burst into a Room of Unsuspecting Enemies

    Hmmm. I'd probably give the enemies the stunned condition for a round, then have them roll initiative and proceed. Cheers, Roger

    D&D 5E (2014) Inspiration wonkiness?

    Auto-natural-20 might be good enough if I were inclined to renovate.

    D&D 5E (2014) Werewolf Damage Immunity Question

    Maybe they duel with lit torches. Whenever you can smell burnt hair, you know the werewolves have been scrapping again.

    D&D 5E (2014) Any suggestions for the Suggestion?

    Hmmm I'd probably rule that the spell fails and everyone knows, more or less. The target knows something has happened; whether or not they ascribe it to magic or to something else is up to their own experiences and brainpower. Possibly not quite as much fun as leaving it all mysterious, but it...

    D&D 5E (2014) RE: Tarasque vs. 5th lv. Wizard scenario - how does Wizard know to use Acid Splash?!?

    Dang, I would play the heck out of a campaign based on the premise that the PCs are in possession of illegal knowledge. I'd better run off and write that up; thanks for the idea. Cheers, Roger

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Fonts?

    This guy knows! (I could rant about the differences between a typeface and a font, but instead, just enjoy that site.) Cheers, Roger

    D&D 5E (2014) Beefin' Up Monsters!

    Whenever I start feeling like the 5E monsters could use a hot beef injection, I consider the jackalwere. That CR 1/2 dude can solo an unprepared party without breaking a sweat. Cheers, Roger

    D&D 5E (2014) Factions in your game

    I like them in the sense of power blocs. So ye olde average towne might have: -- the nobility, being the 'legitimate' rulers -- the guilds, probably treated as a monolithic bloc unless there's something fancy going on, being the dudes with all the serious gold -- organized crime...

    D&D 5E (2014) Weapons hidden in the MM

    It's the best part! For the DM, anyway.

    D&D 5E (2014) Weapons hidden in the MM

    For the sake of completeness, let us not forget the famed githyanki silver swords. So great, those things.

    D&D 5E (2014) Multiple Standard Arrays

    Point-buy already sort-of works like this, insofar as there's a finite set of valid arrays. I crunched them all out an edition or two ago; it's not too hard to pull off. Cheers, Roger

    D&D Basic Rules Website - A Handy Browseable Resource!

    Neat. Not sure if these were available before, but the document references the five faction graphics in SVG format: http://dnd.wizards.com/sites/default/files/media/images/faction_banner_harpers.svg...

    D&D 5E (2014) Random Table of Weapons? Random Table of Armor?

    Check it out I've got +3 fists.

    D&D 5E (2014) The woes of the elf and his longsword

    No, not really. Elves don't seem like the sort of creatures that sit around wondering which weapon is optimal. They're more likely to pick whatever doesn't clash with their outfit. Your realms may vary.

    D&D 5E (2014) My PC's and the Stirge Scourge

    I am in favour of this development, for obvious reasons.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can characters give themselves Horrible Scar?

    Sure. It's not quite Head-of-Vecna levels of fun, but it still sounds pretty darn fun. (Edit) Upon further review, what I'd probably do is allow the person to roll twice on the Lingering Injury table and select which injury they'd like. They can keep trying as much as they like, or until...

    D&D 5E (2014) Most common saving throws?

    Death has been the most common around my table, but maybe I've got really incompetent players.
