    D&D Beyond: Rise of the Eladrin

    Whaa........it wasn't confusing. Corellon is a god associated with the fey. He didn't intentionally birth the elves, they spawned when his blood was shed, but yes originally the elves were all fey spirits with mutable forms. The Eladrin were elves that chose to live in the feywild after the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Describe the Nerebdian Vast (48th layer of the Abyss)?

    Perfect opportunity to use viper trees (plant-like demons native to Azzagrat) http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Viper_tree. You could make them more like cacti or dessert plants but just as dangerous.

    D&D 5E (2014) Death in the Abyss

    I can see how you would be reluctant to do that for the purpose of story. A DM forcing his/her players into evil can turn into something nobody wants, and if that is the case, by all means it doesn't have to be done. But me personally? While the PCs are obviously the "main" characters of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Death in the Abyss

    If this is the actual abyss, If the player's die there then either their souls are consumed and used as fuel by some demonic creature or the abyss would reconstitute them as demons (this is obviously the better option for the players). Most likely they would come back as dretches. So you would...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your #1 wish from the D&D community in 2018?

    I think this is one of those situations where a person reads but does not comprehend. Now that I'm reading this it seems like you engaged me already triggered about the possability of losing something. I never mentioned taking out existing rules, I don't know why you think that. I am merely...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your #1 wish from the D&D community in 2018?

    You can't deprive somone of something that they never had in the first place. The game isn't supported by Wizard's past 15th level. People who are running high level campaigns in 5e and that ran them in the past are creating their own adventures. Which is practically homebrew. All I am saying...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your #1 wish from the D&D community in 2018?

    I want them to support high level content for their game or take steps to remove it in the future.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does Detect Magic sense a glyph of warding?

    Detect Magic reveals the school of magic of whatever you're looking at, so no you would not confuse Alarm (a divination spell) and Glyph of Warding (a abjuration spell).

    D&D 5E (2014) On Murderhobos

    Well for me, If my players aren't playing in Ravenloft or Dark Sun (which if you're playing there, being a murderhobo causes entirely different problems), then it is actually hard to get away with being a murderhobo. I think of myself as a reactionary DM. I try to stay away from linear plots...

    D&D 5E (2014) What makes your homebrew setting special?

    In my homebrew setting there is a fictional society of people that would be considered black. And they aren't cannibals, savages, dominated by or enslaved by more traditional fantasy cultures, or living in a broken war torn husk of a nation.

    D&D 5E (2014) How did the final battle in Out of the Abyss go for your table? [spoilers]

    In threads like these I can never understand how you don't TPK the party if you run the demon lord intelligently and don't gimp it. In the 0P's case it's double the party size versus Demogorgon alone, so yeah.... but 4-5 8th level players vs Graz'zt???? How isn't that the end?

    D&D 5E (2014) CoS Castle Endgame Crazy Stuff

    Have Strahd approach the most blood thirsty, ambitious or "evil" party member (alone, the dream spell or some sort of shadow demiplane enveloping the player would be good for this) offering either the gift of vampirism or some sort of boon in exchange for the player character assisting strahd in...

    D&D 5E (2014) SKT: The Uthgardt and Modern Sensibilities

    I guess you're assuming that everyone here is white, and that noone present truly cares about being empathetic towards minorities except to seem more personable to other white people? Is that really what you're saying?

    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annilation: Primer and Surrogates

    My guess would be that the reasoning behind the warlock pact is that Ubtao is in reality a primoridal just like Dendar the Night Serpent, so it also qualifies for pact of the old ones. But I agree that it doesn't really make sense. If you really want to go the warlock route with primordials they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse effects and Remove Curse

    There is a very simple solution to this problem and one that is built into the rules. Treat the alignment shift caused by the continued use of the dagger as a form of indefinite madness. It is stated in the DMG that indefinite madness requires a greater restoration spell or higher to cure. The...

    D&D 5E (2014) It Came from the Depths of the Abyss

    There are many, as the Abyss has infinite layers. The Abyss is unique among planes in that it can actually be considered "alive", it has a will and and can create creatures and layers on its own. Some famous aquatic abyssal layers are the 88th layer of the Abyss the Gaping Maw, ruled by...
