    D&D 4E Edition Experience - Did/Do You Play 4th Edition D&D? How Was/Is it?

    It wasn't the steaming pile of crap everyone makes it out to be, but it wasn't great either. It was just okay.

    D&D 5E (2014) You encounter 20 orcs ...

    Sometimes a battle can be won without brute force slaughter. And sometimes you just have to run away or die.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon's breath weapon vs wall

    Full damage each section. Even with resistance, the dragon would obliterate the wall very quickly. An adult red dragon is a force of destruction. Don't gimp it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Changing How Wizards Use Cantrips

    Here's my house rule. Can cast a number of cantrips per day = your spellcasting modifier + proficiency bonus. If you try to cast more than that, make a CON save. If you fail, take 1 HD damage, the spell fails, and you can't try again until the next day.

    D&D 5E (2014) Advice on Setting Creation

    They don't define the exact steps because there are no exact steps. Write your campaign, and develop the setting as you need/want to as you go. You need very little to get started, but many DMs enjoy spending hours and hours going overboard detailing the weirdest unnecessary things.

    D&D General Not enjoying the urban adventure I'm running

    The next time they call the cops on someone, have that cop be corrupt and friends with that person.

    D&D 5E (2014) Detect Magic and hidden (unseen) objects

    I've never heard of any DM going down the path of "the answer eventually becomes..." That's the absurd part I'm talking about. The spell doesn't become stupid the instant your party gains its first magic item.

    D&D 5E (2014) Detect Magic and hidden (unseen) objects

    RAW/RAI makes perfect sense if you don't intentionally overthink it to absurdity just so you can claim its dumb to justify ignoring part of the spell. You can sense the presence of magic nearby. If you spend an action you can see an aura around the item assuming you can see the item at all. It...

    D&D 5E (2014) Detect Magic and hidden (unseen) objects

    Carrying a potion doesn't block sensing that there are other things. I think a caster would know the difference between sensing items they're carrying and the presence of something else new in the vicinity.

    D&D 5E (2014) Detect Magic and hidden (unseen) objects

    You would know something nearby, maybe even specific enough that it's something in that bag, but without the glow, you wouldn't know it was that cloak specifically. If the PCs have time the DM can simply say you find a cloak that glows. But if they're in a hurry, that changes things, and the PCs...

    D&D 5E (2014) Detect Magic and hidden (unseen) objects

    It says there's magic nearby, it doesn't say, "hey, there's a magic cloak in that bag."

    D&D 5E (2014) Detect Magic and hidden (unseen) objects

    How does seeing the aura matter? It tells you what's magical!

    D&D 5E (2014) Detect Magic and hidden (unseen) objects

    The cloak would glow, but you wouldn't be able to see that unless you opened the sack, and could, you know, see it.
