    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    A shame that multiple answers aren't possible. FR is the default setting for our group atm but we are also all rather big fans of Ravenloft, Spelljammer, Dark Sun, and Dragonlance. FR is the setting you choose when you want the campaign to feel like a huge, living, breathing world. The others...

    D&D 5E (2014) Higher Level Versions of Existing Spells

    If a player wanted to create a spell that was essentially identical to an existing spell except that it would become a bonus action, or reaction, whereas this was not previously the case, would you allow this? If you would allow it, how much higher a level would the spell be?

    D&D 5E (2014) Why do you multiclass?

    So far I'm still a fan of multiclassing a Battlemaster/ Abjurer over other gish alternatives like the EK, whose special abilities I find terribly underwhelming, and now the Spellsinger, that will get higher level spells sooner, and ultimately achieve higher level spells, but the reality is that...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Forgotten Realms] The Wall of the Faithless

    I thought Kelemvor tore down that wall. Is my memory faulty? It's been awhile.

    D&D 5E (2014) Breaking down the Fighter archetypes.

    My impression of the Champion is that their damage output is a bit weak, particularly prior their their crit range expanding to 18-20. Even when they do achieve a critical hit those crits are gimped compared to 3E where, as I recall, all damage was doubled, not just rolled damage. I suppose...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Deities

    Leira has always been my favorite. Her return was not well explained. To some extent that's understandable given it is Leira after all but it felt kinda like nothing more than Wizards just decided to say "hey ya know what, Leira was damned cool. Maybe it was a bad idea to kill her off. Lets...

    D&D 5E (2014) Multi-classing and the fighter's extra attack

    So that sentence actually has nothing to do with multi-classing it sounds like. The writers of the PHB just picked an odds spot to remind us all that the fighter's extra attacks stack with each other? So at the end of the day a multi-classed fighter's extra attacks with continue to stack with...

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't see why they even bothered with the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide.

    I would say the biggest disappointment with SCAG isn't the lack of crunch, because that's understandable. I think they're trying to avoid bloat. I would have liked to have seen somewhat more crunch, particularly in the realm of spells and feats, but perhaps that missed opportunity can be...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM's: what do you do with players who miss time?

    The player who misses a session also misses the associated XP, but I will only allow them to fall so far behind the rest of the party. At some point I may level them up to keep their character relevant to that point in the campaign.

    D&D 5E (2014) Multi-classing and the fighter's extra attack

    "You can't make more than two attacks with this feature unless it says you do (as the fighter's version of extra attack does)." I feel pretty daft, but my brain is simply not wrapping itself around this sentence for whatever reason. As I understand it, the fighter's extra attacks do not stack...

    D&D 5E (2014) Abilities, Spells, Items That Expand the Crit Threat Range

    Recently the first player who wanted to roll a rogue in my 5E game joined us wherein there was already a Battlemaster and a Fire Sorc among others. Everyone is rather high level, and I equipped the rogue with a reasonable number of magical items for his level. While the rogue could hardly fail...

    D&D 5E (2014) Opinions on Bladesinger

    As opposed to an EK or fighter/ mage, both of which use Int dump stat, I feel as though something like a 14th lv bladesinger/ 6th lv battlemaster is the best option...although just to clarify, am I reading it correctly that the fighter's extra attacks do stack with the extra attacks gained from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Escapist article on SCAG is Brutal.

    Seems that's just what the Escapist does these days. Seen their piece on Star Citizen? They've pretty much descended from honest reporting to pretty much just trolling.

    D&D 5E (2014) EK vs Battlemaster/Abjurer

    I simply don't like to cast concentration spells like Blur on myself while I'm on the front line. Yes, I get that we have proficiency and can reroll at higher levels but concentration checks seem really easy to fail on average and in 5E, getting hit feels more probable than other editions to me...

    D&D 5E (2014) EK vs Battlemaster/Abjurer

    What's your play with booming blade? I suppose we could interpret the inability to move as the inability to attack as well (you move when you swing your sword after all). I don't think that's what's being implied here though. I'm pretty sure what they're saying is that a creature can't take a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting Out of the Abyss at 5th Level

    I intend to go hard mode. All the players start at 1st level and their stuff has been transported away. They have to scavenge for whatever they can find as described in the module. A single drow warrior would likely be too much for them in a straight fight so they will have to be clever unless...

    D&D 5E (2014) EK vs Battlemaster/Abjurer

    at mindxkiller: yea, war magic seems to become much less useful after we get our 2nd attack right? If we were going full tank I could maybe see the value. As far as someone else casting haste, I realize that you can't always rely on teammates to have your back, but most of the guys in my group...
