    D&D 5E (2014) Are powergamers a problem and do you allow them to play in your games?

    I get what you mean especially when potential to abuse mechanics are pretty obvious, the problem with powergaming is that you just go to the next best thing and you still shine just a bit brighter than everyone else at the table (pretty much what is happening with the banning of magic the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are powergamers a problem and do you allow them to play in your games?

    I thought the question was relevant. Of course we all know that guy who only picks classes and features to show off and be the hero at the table through abusing the system, but would you say a person who optimizes their character to fulfil their character concept while remaining very efficient...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Battle On: The Fighter Guide

    And on that note I now have no arguments with your list. I would say archer should be red but that would be my immature side coming through wishing it had been a different archetype for fighter (monster hunter)

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Battle On: The Fighter Guide

    Personally I think you should own what the archetype enables instead of worrying about AC, and that my friend is slaughter the enemy and with the pole arm move away after attacks due to reach with your 40-50 ft of movement on horse. I would do it like this, my example will be a level 6...

    D&D 5E (2014) What makes your homebrew setting special?

    My world, Terra (creative naming isn't my strong point) has been expanding for a long while now, I did a one off about 3 years ago (was beta material at that point) which was basically the end of the world in a kingdom called Argentum and I kind of mixed a lot of established d&d lore (I would...

    D&D 5E (2014) I have the worst Paladin ever!

    Yeah, I suppose I have not had the best experiences when it comes to paladins. Some paladins were fine and caused no issues, but I have never seen a "interesting" paladin character (which of course is probably more a reflection of my own tastes). And agreed, however it is ultimately their own...

    D&D 5E (2014) I have the worst Paladin ever!

    Sorry, went a bit off topic on the last part about paladin, my point was that a paladin becomes a concept when they take on a oath i.e. a paladin who has made an oath to uphold the law will likely uphold the law if they are doing their job correctly. Now if the party wants to break the law for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Survivor XGTE New Subclasses - SHADOW MAGIC WINS!

    D&d is a lot bigger than just the games you run. If the subclasses are not to your taste fair enough, but I know many settings where the concepts would be more than fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do about a player... A little advice please

    Is he basing his character on a character called Iskander from fate zero (who is based on Alexander the great)? My advice is to just give it to him straight and tell him that his character needs to earn his status. And it's not always about class abilities. I myself have made characters that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sub-classes and World Building

    The short answer is when there is a will there is a way. Typically for classes that get their archetype later on I expect my players to be showing some potential of their development between level 1 and two i.e. a ranger identifying monsters and their weaknesses through actual knowledge before...

    D&D 5E (2014) I have the worst Paladin ever!

    My first reaction is yeah your paladin is pretty much a psychotic person, but then to be fair everything you did sounds in line with what a Templar might have done in history if that is the approach you are going for. I do not understand why you would want to role-play this kind of character...
