Brigandine is called "studded leather" in D&D for some stupid reason. In D&D 5th edition, scale armor has better base AC, but it limits your Dexterity bonus and penalizes your Stealth skill. So a character with really good Dexterity might prefer "studded leather."

All timekeeping in the D&D multiverse is based on GMT: Greyhawk Mean Time.

Here's what I did: Low Deck: Use Ace thru 10. Swords = Swords (obviously) Coins = Pentacles/Coins (make sure not to accidentally read these as "stars") Stars = Wands (the wizardly connection) Glyphs = Cups (communion wine, I guess?) You could try to match the results with the pictures, but...

What is the point of Charm Person when Dominate Monster exists?

The following post is intended for the DM. I've run I6 in 5e a few times. There are about 3 sessions worth of content in it (about 2 sessions of good content--skip the crypt crawl if at all possible). A highball estimate would be about 12 hours if you're just running the village and the castle...

Here's what the rules actually are: "Lock. A key is provided with the lock. Without the key, a creature proficient with thieves’ tools can pick this lock with a successful DC 15 Dexterity check. Your GM may decide that better locks are available for higher prices." So the adventure and the...

It doesn't require any components. If it did, it would say so. The marilith's "Longsword" action doesn't require a verbal component either. The Innate Spellcasting trait works however it is written for a particular monster. For example: "The couatl’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell...

I thought all maps in all adventures were only for the DM. How do you normally use maps? You don't have to draw it in isometric projection:

Not even a little.

"Expedition" has less-goofy names on the crypts.

Curse of Strahd, page 119: "They have dark skin and hair, but otherwise they are similar to wood elves (as described in the Player's Handbook)."

Where is this lore from? I have the original module. Here's the first sentence under "Lands of Barovia:" I took that to mean it's always cloudy, and there's never direct sunlight. Here's the ending: So the sun only comes out after he's dead. In the section on Strahd, it never mentions a...

Drow race: Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight. Drow monster: Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the drow has...

If it doesn't hurt vampires, it doesn't hurt drow. Seems pretty cut-and-dry to me.

1. In the age of digital distribution, why would a glut be a problem? 2. Don't we already have a glut? It's not like the 3.x stuff went anywhere. 3. Why should WotC care about avoiding a glut? They are selling premium products with exclusive IP and expensive art; no one can really compete with...

It says "create an image of an object," not "change the appearance of an object" (cf. seeming). Can you cast it over another object? Sure, since "things pass through it." Of course, "physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion." Nobody would be able to pick up the illusory...

Hard to answer that question without knowing what the PCs' goal is.

Ah, then you're looking for the Optimization forum: http://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?363-Character-Builds-amp-Optimization That's where you should post threads purely about mechanical optimization.

There are a few references to the Great Modron March (the subject and title of a Planescape adventure path) in the MM and DMG. Wow, I didn't even notice that. How embarrassing!
