The material component for the spell is a weapon, either a club or quarterstaff, so the spell itself doesn't create anything additional for you to be armed with.

Just make a feat. Composite Bowman Req Str 13+ You may add your Str to damage rolls when using a shortbow or longbow. Any ranged weapon attack within 30' of the target is made with advantage. The advantage signifies that the strength of the bow user can penetrate the armour more efficiently.

Here's an interesting idea you could use. As it turns out, the Immortals don't actually grant the divine power, they merely help shape it into something safe. In truth, their Homeworld is a chaotic font of spiritual energies which are all derived from the last, true God who was driven Mad by...

Just because it's Medium sized doesn't have to mean it can be ridden. You could rule that, due to the strange curvature of it's body, the animal is not a suitable mount for the gnome. You could also rule that the Gnome has no ability to ride this beast, and would need to train for 250 days to...

Well in that case, hooray for magical monk parachute pants! But apart from it being incredibly bizarre, Falling Damage is listed on Page 183, and is a specific type of bludgeoning damage. Personally, RAW becomes stupid with this because a Barbarian could rage 5 seconds before she hits the...

I would let the monster heal as much or as little as the story dictated. If the monster's hit points mattered in the fight, then you could begin it wounded, but otherwise why lower the CR because they failed? Even if the PCs come back partially injured, have the monster fully heal to ensure...

The Monk's slow fall relies on the ability to mitigate the speed of the impact by using the surface to slow you down. Even if you decided that slamming into the wall causes additional damage, I would deny the Monk any mitigation effect based on this unless she was capable of moving Parallel and...

You cannot address one without the other. But the problem here is more the fact Abiliy Scores reduced to 0 are handled very poorly, with Constitution deemed "important to live" but "remembering to breathe because it's not a reflex like some believe, but learned behaviour" is not. One thing I...

Framing a response that isn't harsh is very tough here I'm afraid. You have essentially decided a player is not entitled to have play because you rolled 3d6 (failing the saving throw didn't cause this, after all, the final 3d6 to devour the intelligence did). If you lost your phone, it still...

You brought this on yourself, unfortunately. As a DM it's up to you how powerful you wish players to be. Allowing the multiclass isn't causing such inflated numbers, it's the letting them roll for stats on top of giving such an insanely powerful item (which would've been okay in previous...

i edited it slightly, let me know how this stands up to your expectations.

The sCAG has a listing for Rogue Archetype - Swashbuckler but it doesn't approach this utility. As for the restricting to Light Armour, that sounds fine. Someone pointed out earlier that adding 2 makes it worse than a shield, so instead let's follow 5th editions love of 1d4 modifiers (thanks...

Arcane Archer - Wizard Archetype: At 2nd level you gain the ability to create Force Arrow. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack, you may expend a 1st level spell slot to deal 2d6 force damage. When you use a 2nd or higher level spell slot the damage increases by 1d6 per slot level. [[Note...

Lair Actions: Time Echoes: A Vortex Dragon is capable of manipulating time and space, allowing it to strike with inhuman speed. Each creature must make a Dexterity Saving Throw or suffer 4d6 points of slashing damage. Pocket Dimension: A mysterious purple portal opens around a creature within...

My best advice is related to the toughest part of early DMing in 5th edition - the skill check. Stories can be made up, adventures can be improvised but unfortunately DnD needs skill checks to maintain the semblance of game over pure fiction. There are precisely 18 skills in 5th edition, and...

Player: Hey DM, I've got a new weapon I'd like to dual wield, if that's okay. I'll pay a feat for it! DM: Sure, what is it? Player: I'm going to dual wield Eldritch Blast-wielding Warlocks! DM: *Enjoys a short break in a Sanitarium."

EXACTLY! The entire point is to make it worse than a shield in this instance, to enable Rogues and Lore Bards to be able to wield it. The big issue you have is trying to enable it for both Rogues AND Fighters (one gets shield proficiency, one does not) so while it's romantic to allow both to...

Another suggestion is to treat Main Gauche not as a weapon, but as a tool. Main Gauche - a Main Gauche is a tool shaped like a dagger, but with a larger hand guard to assist the player in parrying blows. A player wielding a One Handed weapon in their main hand and a Main Gauche in their...

Rather than worry about it, create a new Fighting Style to support this instead! Swashbuckle: You have +2 AC while wielding a light weapon in your off-hand. You lose this bonus if you use a Bonus Action to attack with this weapon. When an attack misses you by 2 or less, you may use your...

Let's imagine a frozen tundra world, where there is almost always a chill in the air. Every day the DM requires a Constitution check or suffer 1 level of Exhaustion while exposed. Why would being a Sorcerer over a Rogue mean you should have a better chance of succeeding against something...
