    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set: Lost Mines Resources

    I would look and see what's going on in the city of Neverwinter from The Sword Coast Adventures Guide. Also if you don't mind looking at some of the 4E material, the Neverwinter campaign guide will give you a little more background information on what has gone on in the region recently to so you...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E: The Best and the Worst

    Like:. Rule simplicity on the player end (advantage/disadvantage roles, flexibility in ability use, story flavor to help players visualize what their characters are doing, etc.) Dislike: The lack of solid tools for the DM to make exciting encounters. This is one area that I feel that they...

    Psionic Mantras (Rituals) for 4th Edition

    I love it! I also agree that there a lot of things that need more love and psionics is definitely one of them. 😁 Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk

    D&D 4E Throwing ideas, seeing what sticks (and what stinks)

    I think that would make it more complicated than need to be. If you're looking to make combat more deadly, that can easily be taken care of by increasing player damage options and increasing damage produced by monsters. I am personally a big fan of the idea of attack Powers as minor actions...

    Looking for NPC stats on epic Forgotten Realms Icons

    I should probably clarify, they are not fighting El and Silver, they are fighting along side. I was going to have El play a controller and Silver play a leader (being a Bard and all) to support the players in combat against a adult red dragon that is the chosen of a evil god. And they are not...

    Looking for NPC stats on epic Forgotten Realms Icons

    My party is on the verge of rolling to Level 11 in this big epic combat challenge, similar to what they did with Reavers of the Harkenwold. For the final confrontation, I was going to have them fight along with two major figures in the Realms.... Elminster and Storm Silverhand However, I need...

    Thanks! It was a really helpful guide.

    Options for swapping ability mods for skills

    That was my suggestion. He ended up using skill training feats, but was still curious.

    Options for swapping ability mods for skills

    Quick question for folks. I have a player who wants to use Wisdom for his Diplomacy and Bluff Checks instead of Charisma. Any options?

    D&D 4E Who's still playing 4E

    Maybe on the player end, but not the DM end. The tools were not there to truly challenge the players, at least from what I saw. All the 3/3.5 DMs was more of back seat narrator. Perhaps your experiences were different, but that is what I kept running into and based on what I have heard from...

    D&D 4E Who's still playing 4E

    I am running LFR adventures with my home crew and they are great one shots to help the players get a feel for FR. Although I will admit that one if the main reasons it is working is because I am digging into other sources for story fluff to get the feel of the environment. As for SC, I...

    D&D 4E Who's still playing 4E

    If Mr. M. M. Is who I think he is, I think he does whatever his bosses tell him to do. If he is not who I think he is, then he can remain anonymous. [emoji6] As for the rest, I agree with you and yes, it is complicated. There are different types of encounters and there are different ways to...

    D&D 4E Who's still playing 4E

    I think that had as much to do with combat duration then anything. Depending on how good the DM was at building encounters, combat could drag on and exhaust the players as much as the characters. So the players are motivated to stack as much as possible so they are not personally tiered when...

    D&D 4E Who's still playing 4E

    Touching base on the dual weapons use, I know a ton of folks that took full advantage of the attack powers that were minor actions as their two weapon fighting options. Granted, there was not alot if them, but it was an option. My personal opinion is that they should have done this with the...
