I use passive initiative for creatures and NPCs, but have the players roll. If there is a climatic boss fight, positioning, surprise, or any other circumstances I add (or subtract) 2 or 5 to their passive score. I tend to homebrew, or at least tinker, with a lot of my monsters and this allows...

They are in Volo's Guide to Monsters, pg 188 There is additional information for what happens when they bathe in demon ichor instead of blood, in Descent Into Avernus pg 240 They also carry a new simple melee weapon called a Wicked Sickle: 2d4 slashing, heavy, two-handed

Not a player, but the player's animal companion and faithful Mastiff mount. The Gnome wizard was unconscious at that point, it was tough fight and the bard was only able to save one... Tito was a good boy, then he was a good meal.

I enjoy using low level creatures through a campaign, and use a pretty simple formula to convert them into a mob using the swarm trait as a template. I usually give ranged attacks a type of Volley to increase the threat and deal consistent damage. Take the standard goblin. CR 1/4, AC 13 (w/...

A Xorn may be a good creature to use as a potential source of information for encounters, or to travel to the main lair? The Xorn is scared of the dragon, but seeks it's treasure (maybe knowing certain items that are in the hoard). Maybe the PCs can bargain with it to discover a safer way in/get...

Thanks so much everyone! Appreciate it

Hi all, I've tried to look up the stats but have not been able to. Any mathletes here that can help? I have a Fighter (Champion) 5/Druid 4, and I switch between using a one-handed weapon (two attacks total) and two light weapons (3 attacks total) depending on if I am facing one tough opponent or...

No, they only get one chance to grapple unless there is a specific rule that states otherwise. Grapple or Pushing takes the Attack action and does not deal damage, so the off-hand stat bonus does not matter - this is not part of two-weapon fighting. A character with the Extra Attack feature...

Lots of good options. I haven't seen all of the movies/shows they refer to, but can see any and all of the ones I know to be able to be represented well by the cleric class. Nice list!

My last two characters (usually I DM) were both multiclasses: Triton Ranger 5/Bard 1 (killed at lvl 6). A true pirate, who could mix it up in melee and add support Tortle Fighter 5/Druid 4 (currently playing). The spore+champion subclasses makes him a dangerous melee character, with an array of...

Yuan-Ti is a powerful race, their straight up immunity to poison combined with their magic resistance is too much IMO. Dropping their magic resistance completely makes them balanced with other (non-monstrous) races. Other than that I don't see many issues

Level 6 Triton Ranger, was leading the party through a ruined city. Assassin I did not see hit me with a longbow shot to my neck and it was instant (no death saves). Missed a perception roll, his attack hit, and failed my Con save to reduce the poison damage. I was a little peeved that I didn't...
