MM Errata: Damage Resistances/Immunities. Throughout the book, instances of “nonmagical weapons” in Damage Resistances/Immunities entries have been replaced with “nonmagical attacks.”

You got me, Merric! I just read the title of the thread without re-reading the entire thing. I play a thief with a dragon mark and was thinking from that perspective.

Correct, however, as a thief they can use their bonus action to 'interact with an object' again.

Unfortunately, that logic makes the monk's 6th level ability Ki-Empowered Strike (PHB p. 79) pointless. The only reasonable explanation is unarmed strikes are indeed considered weapons for purposes of overcoming immunity to nonmagical weapons. Characters lacking non-magical weapons facing a...

I think the only 'iconic' characters are those who have been mentioned in every incarnation of the of the core books. Those would include: Tenser, Mordenkainen, Bigby, Nystel, Otiluke, Otto, Dwamij, Leomund, Rary, Vecna, Lum, and Kas. Of course, this list is not exhaustive.

Another side note: you can make an opportunity attack with your fist for 1 hp if they want. Or, I'd allow an attack with the shield as an improvised weapon.

So, what if you implemented this house rule to allow death saves when KO'd and you get KO'd and then followed up by an actual death save scenario in the same fight? Additionally, if you already failed on 2 of your death saves on regaining consciousness, you'd be stuck on your 3rd save in the...

Is there any reason why these 2nd level characters need to have magic items?

Ravenloft is about the mood and setting. If he wants to straight up fight monsters, you might want to go with something more straightforward. That's not to say Ravenloft doesn't have monsters to fight, but I think he might not appreciate everything else the setting brings to the table.

It's been a long time. I think there might be some reference to a 'dread' mechanic, but I think the information to use it is included in MotRD.

Here's a link to Masque of the Red Death (sorry for the earlier misspelling) on DrivethruRPG: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/127234/Masque-of-the-Red-Death-and-Other-Tales-2e

The best DnD horror in my opinion is Mask of the Red Death. It's an Earth-like setting in the 1890's. If you like Penny Dreadful, you'll love Mask of the Red Death.

Fantasy Grounds has a built in character generator.

The rules are so wonky on this. First there's learn the properties of an item during a short rest rule. And then there's the Identify spell. I have a wizard player in my campaign with identify, so I've ruled more towards the 1st edition end of the spectrum where an Identify is the only way to...

I don't mean to be overly nit-picky, but for purposes of being explicitly clear there is one other action that can be taken each turn. It's the Free Action which is typically used to draw one weapon, but can be used to interact with any object within reach. I realize this isn't part of the...

What a bunch of stand up people! I wish more businesses across all industries operated this way rather than grabbing at every penny they can! Bravo Zulu!

Pardon me, I have not read the entire thread. The Watchmen comes to mind as a prime example of someone who has the best of intentions, but is lead astray.

The stalagmite could be wielded as an improvised weapon, so no damage. There aren't any rules currently about monsters are sufficiently powerful enough to overcome immunity to weapons afaik. So, based off what we currently have, no a giant would not do any damage with with a non magical non...

I don't know how plainly I can state this without sounding condescending. So, I'll repeat the line in the Monster Manual which states: Damage Immunities: bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered. I've also provided you with the definition of an...
