    D&D 5E (2014) CR 3/4?

    Typically, any creature is alive > 1 year has a mating season or at least some external conditions. Breeding season is in autumn for the D&D staple creature race Thri-Keen (a.k.a. a mantis) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis#Reproduction_and_life_history

    D&D 5E (2014) Best class for the 5 minute adventuring day?

    Your question is too vague. The answer depends too much on character level and the number of social encounters/skill challenges. Wizard X/Knowledge Cleric 1 - nova blasts, *some* heals in case the party drops, decent skills.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters as characters?

    Don't overlook RP and equipment issues. DMing a similar group of freaks, our group really missed the incremental upgrades from loot. Yes, could have been fluffed, but a dragon doesn't use a +1 sword. Laughs each time they found items they just couldn't use in their forms. The team ended up so...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favorite uncommon magic item?

    Philter of Love - so much RP goodness. When I DM for random magic objects I do so in front of the group. It can break the story but it's always good for laughs and makes the PCs feel clever when a random item saves the day. Helps personalize my story telling too.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dual wielding and improvised weapons. Technically broken?

    Sadly, this only slightly improves shield bash damage by an average of 1 (spiked shield is 1d6 vs 1d4). Much better to take the feat Shield Master and use your bonus action to shove enemies prone, or increase your attack stat for the better to-hit/damage. Advantage >> small damage from shield...

    Laser cleric of Pelor power stacking issue

    Thanks everyone. Final clarification, Astral Symbol gives +2 to range so makes Lance of Faith into range 7. Not ideal but as the primary healer I'm basically a two-trick pony: heal/debuffs and dpr lasering when nobody is dying.

    Laser cleric of Pelor power stacking issue

    I'm hoping to get some clarification about some power stacking with my level 7 laser cleric of Pelor. Specifically two powers that caused some grumbling when my group saw them... It works out I do dX +18 damage on my second turn. feat: Power of the Sun: When you use a power associated with...
