    D&D 4E How To Clone 4E Using 5E Rules

    How to Convert 5e to 4e - Add 10 Levels - Proficiency Bonus = 1/2 Character Level (round down). - Allow all players to take an extra bonus action by spending either an Action and/or all of their movement for a turn (Max 3 Bonus actions). - Add "Second Wind" action for all classes, allowing them...

    Show Me Your Villains

    In the Elder Scrolls campaign I'm running I introduced the party to Three-Fingers-Left, an Argonian skooma-dealer who had swollen to monstrous size by decades of ingesting Hist Sap (so, like an Argonian Behemoth from ESO, but without the insanity). He has legendary actions that let him command...

    D&D 5E (2014) RAW: Can druids wear studded leather?

    Okay, so all joking aside, the way I'd rule it is that "Studded Leather" is basically just a colloquial term for Brigandine, used by commoners who don't really understand how it's made. Ergo, it would effectively be metal armor, as it's essentially just metal plates riveted to the inside of a...

    Help with homebrew world races

    Feran A race of mammalian humanoids displaced from their homeland across space and time, they live fast and die fast, and make humans look methodical and apathetic by comparison. A running gag is that none can agree which animal they resemble most: dogs, cats, bears, weasels, raccoons, etc...

    D&D 5E (2014) RAW: Can druids wear studded leather?

    The restriction is on what the druid will do, not what the druid can't do. So, by the strictest interpretation of RAW, any armor the druid chooses to wear cannot be made of metal. Ergo, if a druid finds a suit of plate armor and wears it, then by RAW, that suit of plate armor cannot be (and...

    Ideas for a Dieselpunk Supplement

    Maybe some sort of subterranean race like the Locust, that was awakened by drilling for oil/diesel? Maybe some sort of reptilian or mole-like aesthetic. Probably a strong and/or tough race, since they would need to be able to dig. Maybe give them blindsight? EDIT So, for instance... Ability...

    Ranged Options for All Classes

    If the Barbarian is raging, they can throw rocks, dead (or alive) enemies, or even a Gnome or Halfling party member. Imagine throwing a Halfling Rogue at a Dragon's face as it flies by. I'd rule that a Sneak Attack for sure.

    Counter to Spike Growth?

    Flying monsters can, of course, bypass spike growth without issue, and the main weakness of Silence is that the zone doesn't move so dudes can just walk out of it if there's nothing stopping them from doing so. Beyond that, if there are trees or buildings nearby, the monsters can try to climb...

    D&D 5E (2014) Transformers: Is This The Next Setting After Ravnica?

    Well, since you mention Beast Wars, you could always justify it with time travel. Like, Transformers are super-advanced warforged from the future that came back in time to stop some ancient evil (Unicron?). As a racial feature, you could give them a limited version of Wild Shape that only lets...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana August: Races of Ravnica

    Loxodons seem too powerful at first glance. Or, perhaps, the other races seem too weak by comparison. The Simic hybrid is interesting, but I'd like a few more choices of mutations. Viashino is cool, in theory, but obviously inferior to the published lizard folk.

    How to Plant Land Mines in D&D 5e

    Now I'm thinking of rigging a whole building with GoW "demolition charges," all set to go off at the same time, and just collapse it on the bad guys.

    How to Plant Land Mines in D&D 5e

    Or, find a fire mephit and imprison it within a fire-proof bag, and bury it. Then, put a pressure plate attached to an iron spike on top. A monster steps on the plate, pushes the spike into the bag, killing the mephit and triggering it's Death Burst.😎

    Chameleon's Revised Ranger

    Better in terms of raw damage, perhaps, but the fighter will probably have higher AC and more hit points, as well as second wind, action surge, and subclass benefits. Plus, the fighter will eventually get ASIs and/or feats, better equipment, and four attacks by level 20.

    Chameleon's Revised Ranger

    Yes, the Ranger gets two attacks, but can trade in one of them to let the Beast attack. I took away the proficiency bonus to damage to balance out the improved action economy of the Beast; i.e., effectively, you're getting three attacks per round, and with the power Increase to CR 1, that is a...

    Chameleon's Revised Ranger

    I agree, which is why I increased the number of known spells this Ranger gets, and also gave each conclave additional bonus spells. This should, in theory, bring the Ranger up to the same level as the Paladin.

    Chameleon's Revised Ranger

    Would it be better if I reduced the range to 60ft, so that it's basically equivalent to the Paladin's Divine Sense?
