    D&D 5E (2014) April 1st Encounters

    So, our Wednesday night Encounters fall on April Fools Day next week. Any DMs out there plotting pranks on their tables? I think I will be announcing that a Hasbro/WotC product placement deal with the Divergent movie series will be adding five new factions to the League: Dauntless, Amity...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tiamat Strikes Back

    You need three levels of bard, sorcerer, or wizard to cast Invisibility. Then just follow the party around and use your two hours of invisibility every day to sabotage them. Poison their drinks in the tavern. Steal valuables & plant them on the "heroes". Make sure any secrets revealed to them...

    D&D 5E (2014) Cruella (or Cruell) De Vil for AL?

    Keep in mind, taking Magic Initiate can also give you a couple of attack cantrips.

    D&D 5E (2014) Killed with a sword NINE LIVES STEALER

    The sword's write up just says it tears the soul from the body, nothing about trapping the soul. Presumably they can be resurrected like any other victim of a violent death.

    CON save or take a level of exhaustion, perhaps?

    D&D 5E (2014) Why go Strength over Dexterity?

    This exact scenario happened last week at one of the other tables in my FLGS. The party of a rogue, bard, monk and wizard wasted most of their spell slots opening a barred door because the barbarian was out sick.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lord Cupcake's Will

    Lies. Lord Cupcake is a warlock in league with that candy cottage witch.

    Fighting in the Same Square: Back to back!

    It's not elf-compatible, but the Swarmfighter feat from Complete Fighter lets up to four small-size allies fight in the same square (and adds morale bonus to attacks for each ally in the square). The drawback is that each character needs to take the Swarmfighter feat.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tips and tricks for organizing a new Campaign

    Welcome to the forums! Always good to have another DM in the mix. I'd offer two bits of advice from my own experience. 1. Make your players flesh out their PCs. At the very least they should be able to tell you where the character came from, who their family and associates are, and what they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give my Dragon Encounter More Bite!

    A couple problems with that approach: 1. That kind of zero-subtlety frontal assault doesn't match the tactics or personality of green dragons in the MM at all. 2. If you plan on running this group through Horde of the Dragon Queen, a very similar event occurs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Give my Dragon Encounter More Bite!

    Your dragon really needs to hit the party with tactics that nullify their previous tactics. A few suggestions: -give the dragon a small tribe of goblins or kobolds to do her prep work (and die for her fleeting tactical advantage) -is there a body of water nearby, or some way for the minions to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Interesting items needed for Legend of Zelda type dungeons

    The best item in a Zelda dungeon is the compass that tells me what room has the villain.

    D&D 5E (2014) Developing new plot line - Rebellion!

    There could easily be a few of the king's daughters still living, but only a son could claim the throne. Or perhaps the other heir joined a religious order and gave up the family name. Heck, there could be great-grandchildren of the original king who were never acknowledged as royal heirs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Handling Grenade-like Weapons with AoE/Splash Damage?

    Skip the attack roll, just give the PCs in the detonation area a saving throw for half damage. I'd treat a hand grenade just like a Thunderwave spell centered on the target square.

    D&D 5E (2014) CSI: Faerun

    Do the PCs have access to divination spells? Seems like just the job for stuff like Locate Object/Creature.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cursed(?) Ring of... Watery Air?

    Sure. A strong swimmer could use it to float over pits, climb without ladders, maybe even use it like a modified Feather Fall. It would be a bunch of neat tricks, at least until you wear it into an ambush...

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about Razorclaw Shifters.

    Pretty sure the Razorclaw specifies DEX for the attack & damage boost on the bonus melee attack. And the Hex spell is your friend when you want to increase damage on said bonus attack.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best class for GWF

    Not in Adventurers League. A standard array or point-buy paladin is just too dependent on having a high score in multiple stats to take feats and have the needed STR.
