    D&D 5E (2014) Grind fest is imminnent, how can I prevent it?

    Funny that you suggest this cooper. I tried it the first time around and they just slaughtered the volunteer. One of my players jokes that his favored enemy is NPC's.

    D&D 5E (2014) Grind fest is imminnent, how can I prevent it?

    In my session last night the party was meant to have a final assault on a kobold lair. We have been fighting Kobolds for awhile so we are all kind of sick of it. My intent was to offer the party ways to defeat kobolds and their chief without kicking down the front door. They did take the bait of...

    D&D 5E (2014) How might this custom magic item be broken? Try to break my campaign.

    Yes if you are also holding a stone. They lose the ability to hear person C and you gain it.

    D&D 5E (2014) How might this custom magic item be broken? Try to break my campaign.

    The receiver would be another individual. No, they will not function in a line. There needs to be a conscious mind on the other side. Yes they are ALL considered paired. I did not realize sending stones grant comprehension. This is helpful information thank you. I think I will eliminate that...

    Well DUH, but I didn't think that would be an issue.

    D&D 5E (2014) How might this custom magic item be broken? Try to break my campaign.

    I'm thinking of putting a magic item(s) in my game. They are modified sending stones, here are the differences: 1.They only work when you are one foot or less from each other. 2.They only work when you and any other individual is holding them. 3. They DO NOT grant comprehension 4.There are no...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Mystic Class and Psionics

    Can anyone point me in the direction of the latest and greatest version of The Mystic class. They are at least two versions and I'm not sure which is the latest. Also thoughts and reviews? Have you used the class and psionics in your campaign? Balanced?

    D&D 5E (2014) Sandbox Noob Needs DM Advice

    I have a sandbox world that I am running. There are a few adventure sites with hooks and such. Of course the party just wants to walk in a random direction and explore the area around the village. An area where there is exactly nothing. I'm not really in a position to shift the adventure...

    D&D 5E (2014) I don't use Passive Perception

    So you don't use it for traps? Even my secret roll method? If the players don't bother to check they just spring the trap?

    D&D 5E (2014) I don't use Passive Perception

    As A DM, I don't use passive perception. I think it ruins the fun of things that are supposed to be a surprise. Traps or Hiding monsters comes to mind. With passive perception what is the point of a trap? The player either automatically finds it OR I jack the spot DC and the player...

    Wow, that doesn't seem like enough.

    D&D 5E (2014) XP for a partial encounter?

    So....Wait.....WHAAA!? The adjusted XP is not meant to be the xp reward? You still just add up individual monster xp's and divide among the players?

    D&D 5E (2014) XP for a partial encounter?

    They are not static. If you use the DMG they can are adjusted up or down based on the number of Monsters vs the numbers of players. a 4 goblin encounter is worth 400 xp to a party of 4 first level adventurers OR 100xp each an 8 goblin encounter jumps to 1000xp or 125xp each.

    D&D 5E (2014) XP for a partial encounter?

    I award XP based on the killing of monsters mostly. I also give RP awards. The problem I'm having is the number of monsters skews the xp in one direction or the other. They killed 4 monsters, but they were 4 of 7. I would imagine the xp they get for killing those 4 monsters would be slightly...

    D&D 5E (2014) XP for a partial encounter?

    The party ran into a pretty hefty encounter (Deadly) with a sizable xp award. However they were forced to retreat. They did kill off about half the monsters before they ran. Would you award partial xp? how would you calculate it? When they return I assume the xp award would be re-calculated for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Long Rest while trapped in an alert Dungeon

    It's a pretty small dungeon. But they are in a room that hasn't been used in awhile. If they wall themselves up good enough, there is a chance that the kobolds might not find them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Long Rest while trapped in an alert Dungeon

    The mine is a 5' vertical shaft with 5' tunnels opening out of the sides. There WAS an elevator that has been destroyed. They even broke the rope it was connected to, so that's no help. They are in a tunnel at the very bottom of this shaft. It's a 5' tunnel that goes relatively straight before...
