    Jasper's DMs Season 3

    Not gonna lie, I'm actually stealing this idea for my table.

    Battle Master/Abjurer: Build Comparison (Please Help)

    Entirely depends on what style you want to play. Personally, I favor Wizards over Fighters because I find the versatility of Wizards more fun. As such, I stick at Fighter 2/Abjur+ as BM die aren't as useful as spell progression for me. By the higher levels, it matters more. The right spell...

    Unearthed Arcana Latest Unearthed Arcana Introduces Rogue & Ranger Archetypes

    Because they're not. His interpretation of the rule is correct. Just because you become "large" does not mean your damage dice is doubled. Also, holy cow that Guardian form is OP. Allies automatically gain HP at START of turn within 30ft? That means your allies are essentially unkillable...

    D&D 5E (2014) Virtual Online Tabletop for 5e

    1. That is an AMAZING setup. I'm peanut butter and jelly. 2. That's not actually a Virtual Tabletop. That's an actual table top, with a digital screen. Very different needs but it seems like the original posters is asking about virtual tabletop recommendations.

    D&D 5E (2014) Virtual Online Tabletop for 5e

    I mean you have to ask yourself, what's the purpose of using your VTT? If players and DMs want to do everything manually, they can just use the existing options or just use Skype. The benefits of introducing a computer to table top gaming is automating a lot of things so that the game flows...

    D&D 5E (2014) Retrospectives on the Yawning Portal adventures

    Every door/trap requires 11 pounds of pressure to trigger. Tada, problem solved. For doors that can be opened with less, just have Glyphs of Warding for when a Mage Hand gets within 5ft, throw Fireball at the obvious hiding/cover point within 30ft.

    D&D 5E (2014) Virtual Online Tabletop for 5e

    Poster above listed desires for a video game, not a VTT. 1. Easy to use and access online character database. Roll20 has this to some extent, but it should be automated to extra your latest character from your "binder" of characters and slot them into a new adventure. Like how characters are...

    Jasper's DMs Season 3

    The Half-plate is made of Stone (thus usable by Druids). Not sure what to run with that, maybe sandpaper to staple to it?

    Discussion - Tales From The Yawning Portal is Season 6

    Anyone wanna explain more of what those are? Are they going to be 6-7 mini-campaigns, or 6-7 dungeon crawls? Never played those old adventures.

    Highest DPR at Level 1?

    *Moderator edit* Please don't post belligerently or attack other users. -Darkness, EN World moderator You obviously haven't played much AL. The max average build will depend on whether you're playing Season 1/2/5, Season 3, or Season 4 because the enemies will be vastly different. You also...

    Highest DPR at Level 1?

    Why would you care? T1 AL Mods are insanely easy (with some very limited exceptions, none of which are in Season 5). The average DPR is going to depend a lot on which mod you're playing, so there's no one answer. You've already read as many power gaming builds as you can, so there's not much...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have you experienced very high-level (18+) play in 5e? Tell me about it!

    Most important things I've noticed from high level play: 1. DM needs to be able to adjust and say No. No, you cannot cast a creative spell that negates everything entirely (Ancient Green Dragon is roflstomped by party that pre-casts Heroes' Feast without DM changing things, etc). 2. Spell...

    Retiring old AL adventures -- good idea or the best idea?

    I've suggested that same thing several times, especially with regards to Season 4. There is a small sort of one for Season 1, but that's it.

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] A party without music is lame: A Bard Guide

    So I don't know how this didn't get brought up, but the two best spells for the initial Magical Secrets are: 1. Counterspell. You don't always need it, but when you do need it, you reallllllly need it. 2. Spirit Guardians. Take that level of Cleric for some tankiness, and then wade in with...

    Retiring old AL adventures -- good idea or the best idea?

    Wow, projecting much?? Did you even read the above posts? Obviously not otherwise you'd see the arguments actually being made rather than the ones only being made in your head. 1. Yes, it removes options for literally zero benefit. Eliminating Season 1 is a high costs, with zero benefit...

    Which season should I dm next quarter?

    Well I've been running Season 1, tweaked to account for Seasons 2, 3, and 5. I've basically designed a 'homebrew' campaign in terms of character options with content prepared to take them all the way up to level 17+ now. Season 1 is great because of both the amazing NPCs (Elisandre, Fat Mar...

    Which season should I dm next quarter?

    Are your players starting new characters (level 1) or taking their Season 4 characters? Big difference. I'm a huuuuge advocate of starting in Season 1 and building the adventures out, but that's because I know how Season 2/3/5 develop, so I can tweak the storyline in Season 1 to match up.

    Retiring old AL adventures -- good idea or the best idea?

    Short version: No Long version: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Season 1 has probably the tightest and best ran narrative that starts storylines spanning multiple seasons and even a DDAO. It allows for an "open world" approach where after Season 1 players can choose...

    Play Your Way to 20: More Changes Announced for AL

    From personal experience, high level play requires a DM that can say "No". For example, when the BBEG appears it forces players to make a Wisdom save. If you fail, you're stunned. If you succeed, you're frightened. What if you have a Paladin in the party who is immune to Frightened? Tough...
