    D&D 5E (2014) Players Self-Assigning Rolls

    I might be guilty of this as a player actually, there has never been an issue with my DM's presumably because they were going to ask me to do it; its not a conscious thing that I do. As DM I have had players who just roll for what they are trying to do, I take no offense and I just inform them...

    I Am God!

    On that note they should basically attack the DM where he is weakest. Reality. No XP, just a lawsuit.

    One-Liner NPCs

    An NPC should be as interesting as the situation requires. If a player takes an interest in one expand on the NPC as required; it would be unreasonable to expect the DM to plan every NPC but becomes artificial if the world just turns into a video game.

    I Am God!

    Not just artefacts, make it like a 12 labours of Hercules thing

    I Am God!

    I think you need to design campaign around weakening you before you enter the world maybe through artefacts. Basically your stats are infinite unless they put numerical reasoning on you. So for example you have unlimited Legendary resistances, actions, health, speed so on and so on. Put...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you prefer to fight with melee or ranged weapons?

    Melee. It's not a choice. I am cursed with the Berserker axe (greatsword. DM was nice enough to give me my preferred weapon. Or evil enough to know I could not resist attuning to it). Now my wise and calm battle master occasionally goes nuts and when he uses the disarm manoeuvre.....well he...

    D&D 5E (2014) The best 1 level dip for fighter?

    If I could turn back time and further clarify the post I would have added a multiclass dip that would suit the majority of fighter builds; for example a +1 magic item would suit a lot of fighter builds regardless of focusing on tanking or ranged, whereas raging as a barbarian would not suit a...

    D&D 5E (2014) The best 1 level dip for fighter?

    I have to admit you guys make a solid point for the hexblade, I think that's the best choice if you want to be a charisma fighter. To further explain the one level dip, it is just a personal preference to keep my character as true to themselves as possible without min maxing. Also if my DM...

    D&D 5E (2014) The best 1 level dip for fighter?

    Agreed, typically knock my wisdom to 13 then follow up with a resilient feat into wisdom for respectable defence against mind control effects.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Defeat this Coffelock Villain?

    Have you tried simply going through the ethereal plane so he can not interact with your characters until you swoop back in and take away his implements?

    D&D 5E (2014) The best 1 level dip for fighter?

    I have been pondering about the best single level dip for the fighter (I usually prefer a single level in a class for various reasons) and I think I can make a strong case for the forge cleric. The feature that makes your weapon a +1 magic item is pretty much the main selling point. This is of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Treantmonk's Guide to Everything Xanathar

    Just go a dwarf with heavy armour with no strength as they don't get the negatives of not meeting strength requirement. Your int will not be the best to begin with but decent at level 4 (5 really) if you increase int to 16. Add a shield while at it and use one handed spell implement. Single...

    Stranger Things Loses its Mind

    Pretty sure El would have been considered a psion instead of a wizard, but 2nd edition came later

    How much back story do you allow/expect at the start of the game?

    It could. But it is the GM who will be describing what the players see as the game progresses so its probably best that they have an idea of how the world works. I would argue the game literally can not function (or reach levels of high satisfaction for all people involved atleast) if the GM...

    How much back story do you allow/expect at the start of the game?

    I mean to be fair, the players/characters are/ will have been affected by that lore in some shape or form. Also if 4 players give a novella worth of backstory its a bit much to expect GM to A) read each one B) remember the details C) make a list of hooks while going along Whereas all the...
