    D&D General Your Best Traps +

    Let the players come across a shapechanger or two. Make a situation where they lose sight for a moment. Roll some dice, makes some grunts and maybe give a couple quick glances at one or two players. Tell the group they can can't look at each others paper and then hand out of pieces of folded...

    D&D 5E (2014) Swordsage: Homebrew

    Yeah I liked that too. It's a nice ribbon ability and I can use it for npc's as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Short rests and encounters a day.

    Maybe take a full round action that also ends concentration or it is concentration so a hit could interrupt it? Maybe it could be something like an action that ends concentration and provokes opportunity attacks. Only regain if you do not take damage before you end your turn.

    D&D 5E (2014) Swordsage: Homebrew

    How about: Silence's Initiate Squad Leader You may make a stealth check that applies to each creature you choose within 30 feet of you. Each creature benefits from any and all Silence's Initiate stances and boosts that you have active. Each creature also gains the Exploit Opportunity ability if...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making Every Class "Short Rest"-based?

    My groups do 10min short rests, same time as it takes to do a ritual.

    D&D 5E (2014) Swordsage: Homebrew

    Yeah I was worried about that. Do you have any suggestions? Oh and maybe for the 13th ability I should aim for some ribbon ability. The class doesn't seem to have one except maybe a tool proficiency. I'll need to think up a level 13th ability for the other classes as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Swordsage: Homebrew

    Yes they interact together. Initiator level is like caster level. It grants pretty much what is in the description plus a martial arts die progression and is set up that way for multi-classing purposes. I plan to make three initiator classes, three half initiator and half caster classes, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making Every Class "Short Rest"-based?

    Exactly, I use a spell point variant from time to time and when I do I only add up the 5th level slots. The higher slots are basicaly long rest abilities.

    D&D 5E (2014) Swordsage: Homebrew

    I tried to make it look clean. I would put it into a pdf but I have no experience doing that. Do people usually put it into a pdf and attach it to the post? Or is it better to just do what I did and put it all in a single post? I've never uploaded any of my homebrew before so I'm a bit new to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making Every Class "Short Rest"-based?

    I was just wondering this not to long ago. I'm not sure how I would do the casters. Probably only regain spell levels 1-5 on a short rest and 6-9 on a long rest. The short rest spells would obviously have to be reduced. Maybe use spell points and 1/2 them or something. Not counting the 6-9 spell...

    Ah thanks for the information. I was searching for the official 5.5 stuff like a fool.

    D&D General What class is Gandalf?

    Rogue Thief with Charlatan background. Specializing in deception and sleight of hand. He just used items without anyone noticing. He may have some cantrips from his race/feats or a magic item like his staff. Most of what he did was off screen, he deceived everyone all the time take. Flash of...

    I wonder how it would work if every class had short and long rest abilities.

    D&D 5E (2014) Short rests and encounters a day.

    Yeah I just heard about 5.5 yesterday, so I'm a bit behind the times it seems. I have a couple of groups I'm in and we rotate DM's. Some of us have vastly different encounter preferences. Which can really make or break some classes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Short rests and encounters a day.

    Thank you for this I haven't gotten around to this book yet but this is what I was hoping for. It's hard to balance when half the classes are working with different rules. I wonder how this will effect the Ki ability. Monk level * proficiency maybe.

    D&D 5E (2014) Short rests and encounters a day.

    How many encounters and short rest do you actually have on an average adventuring day? I'm curious how other groups usually do it. The games I play in, it is widely random. I'm wondering how it would turn out to just have short or long rests for most things. I'm thinking short rests would be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bards Should Be Half-Casters in 5.5e/6e

    I intend to make a 1/2 caster bard like class that uses some form of auras. I haven't gotten around to it yet so I'm not sure how effective it would be.

    D&D 5E (2024) My wishes for 6e: less dark vision and spellcasting classes

    Low-light vision: You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within X feet of you as if it were bright light (No more perception disadvantage from lightly obscured environment because of light levels.)
