When you exit the ransacked house, the mist ripples like a rock tossed into a still lake with each step. You can barely see the ground under your feet, and off in the distance you can see murky clouds where buildings and the spaces between should have been. Even in these ruins, there is a way...

"Kiar! HYAH!" Argenti stays near the mouth of the small cave, offering ranged support in the best way she knew: by cursing and throwing stones at the larger of the two creatures. Unfortunately, the stone goes wide. "Crock Jon, are you well? That's the ugliest bug I've ever seen!" Goop check...

Oh thank goodness the holidays are over! I can finally get some rest and writing in! One more roll and we should be able to get back into the swing of things.

Crawdad takes a look at the bar: Toppled furniture, blood splatters, people visibly agitated. He folds up his fan and enters the bar after tipping his hat to man holding the door. "Why Mister Beltran, I do believe we have just missed out on the evenings festivities!" The wood elf says with a...

Yelisha nodds her head. "I will lead you." The reconstructed woman gives Eyrena a tearful hug goodbye, then leads the party to a decrepit back ally. The buildings here are boarded and sealed with a quick-mason solution. An impromptu barricade of any material available, topped with sparking...

I was was fully expecting this request to be to be a variation of paladin smites that do a selection of elemental damage, and work on ranged weapons. Though I will admit, it is quite a pain to juggle components when you are using two weapon fighting, I find that "stealth casting" is just too...

I do occasionally watch the Games Done Quick stream. The appeal of watching someone else play a videogame is akin to watching someone else play sports (good or bad, it's a spectacle) , or sometimes even akin to watching Bob Ross paint a happy little tree (the "zen" feeling of seeing something be...

Putting aside the general anxiety that a new DM might face, the books aren't making it easy for them. The rules for creating monsters are a bit obtuse, and don't really give a fair try for measuring non-DPR contributions to combat. Encounter building is likewise nebulous. Most of the...

"It sounds like we may have consensus soon." Vesile ponders. "I do admit, risking the undead is the last thing anyone would expect from us." So where too?

Argenti nods with Cairn, and follows into the caves.

So we have a buff cleric, a brainy cleric, and a extra magic cleric. Where are the sneaky cleric and silver-tongue cleric options at?

4th of Zarantyr, 998 YK. Dawn. Eyrna Niadh's house, Northshore, Metrol, Cyre The group would wake. Over breakfast the plans would be discussed. Bowls of ragout were set out, with a pinch of Presto (House House Ghallanda's Prestidigitation spice) to make it more palatable. "The Bridge of the...

CR as a singular number can't work. But there is no need to account for every variable possible, because that's impractical if not impossible, and most importantly not useful. CR should function as: An indicator of DPR. And an indicator of resilience. They already calculate for this, so...

The scribes wizard is literally an artificer subclass that was crammed into the wizard.

Eldritch Blast is (mostly) deleted. In it's stead, every subclass gets their own signature blast with much more flavor and potential synergies, and the old invocations that used to boost Eldritch Blast now work on those.

Combat is a Puzzle.

That's an understatement. I have to type up a 10 page rant on the wizard design principles and why the 8 schools of magic subclasses being in the PHB were a sin against the game. Sometime when the Mage D&D1 packet comes out. Imo, the worst part of the 8 schools in the PHB (other than the...

If you have Monsters of the Multiverse, the Yuan-ti are significantly less powerful, due to the monsters using more spell attacks instead of spells that require a saving throw.

"AyE, CaPItAiN!" Glau's voice burbled like boiling water. The plasmoid ran southward, picking up the Capitan as their spikes revert into a softer green gelatinous form, and then continued on at full speed toward the ship. That will put as both at W-20, if I counted right. Also ending rage due...
