    I use The Homebrewery for my ones.

    Monster Design Questions

    Probably bludgeoning. As far as guidelines for statting a monster, I generally choose a monster that's around the same size and toughness as what I want to end up with and just tweak the numbers slightly. Hobgoblin warlords with different gear make for mean humanoid bosses at lower levels...

    Have you ever intentionally ignored a character aspect?

    I don't ignore any class or character feature, I always jot them down and consider them, even if I never actually use them in the long run. If you're not interested in having anything to keep track of, I'd go Champion fighter. That way you only need to remember that you have improved critical...

    If you could only play one---

    Human warlock or human fighter. I generally default to playing humans unless something specific in the background I throw together needs me to be something else, and the classes because they're both very versatile and again, are typically my default classes. 99% of the time my characters start...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Box (review my new magic item!)

    I would turn it into three separate items. The mechanical description is waaaay long. If I gave that to one of my PCs they probably wouldn't use it because it takes too long to read through it. Individually I love them, they're crazy powerful and really wacky, and would make for cool things to...

    Potion of undead form

    I personally would go with something like; This strange black liquid is murky and chalky, and is cold to the touch. When drank, your skin changes to a pallid grey, your lips turn blue and your heart slows to almost nothing leaving you for all intents and purposes a walking corpse. Your type...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Storm King's Thunder"

    Thanks for the advice re the kraken. I think I'm going to go with it laying siege to Waterdeep in a fit of rage once his plans regarding Hekaton and the Ordning become unstuck somewhat due to the party. Thanks again!

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Storm King's Thunder"

    Any advice for using the kraken as the big bad of the campaign over Imryth? I can't get behind the idea of a kraken bowing to a dragon and would much rather Imryth be just a giant who is a puppet of the kraken.

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggest different wild surge results

    That's the one. Fortunately the results aren't difficult to switch to a 5e equivalent.

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggest different wild surge results

    I use one called "10000 wild surge effects", and it has 10000 wild surge effects on it. It's pretty good.

    D&D 5E (2014) [poll] How much does party class composition impact your choice on class?

    I typically have three or four vague ideas knocking about when we start gaming. I then start fleshing them out and then decide which one the group needs the most.

    D&D 5E (2014) One of my players screwed up. Hard. How do I make it fun without doing a tpk? LMoP

    I'll second the previous messages; either give them warnings that it's going to happen, Res it with only a portion of its previous strength, or just don't res it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wait... why are we adventuring together?

    My group always sits down and works out character links during a session zero. Usually it's that each character knows at least one other character through whatever means and the others know each other through their common acquaintance. Or we do that they're all part of the same guild or...
