I have just uploaded Modify Your Monsters to the downloads area. Here's a d100 chart to help inspire people to modify or build monsters using current monster abilities, PC feats and PC class features. I like to make some of the elite monsters or leaders of groups more fearsome so sometimes...

In a number of situations (not the cage match vs. 1 opponent), +2 AC may actually be statistically more beneficial than a +2 to hit. For example, if the PC is defending against more attacks than he/she is dishing out, then defense gets weighed more heavily. (I guess defense is also more...

Lol. I hate typing on my phone. This was a good one though! Cheers. I'm also an English teacher so we can laugh even louder.

In my experience, people multi-class when they grow bored of other options or to create a character concept that isn't available as a single class. It seems a natural extension for veterans of the game, and I don't find it more difficult to DM for. It is far more difficult (and perhaps even...

To add, as others have said, you could play up the black and white limitation of darkvision too and make sure that rooms/areas have more interesting objects of varied colors and use clues/puzzles that need to be seen in color. But, from my experience, even just forcing them to make perception...

This is one reason why I love running my 5e games online using Fantasy Grounds. The monsters have the spells attached and easy to read/use. I do agree that the stat blocks in the mm were better in 4e though.

Like others, I think that dakvision limitations (disadvantage to perception and investigation in dim light or less) should keep balance enough. Heck, I'm playing in a group now where my Bladesinger may even take light cantrips (at 4th level) so that we can see better without having to use...

The original Mad Max and Road Warrior. They always hyped me up when I was a young laddie back in the 80s.

Here is a better version of the modifications (taking out some that will rarely be used, like ambusher, turn undead, etc) and adding others. 1 Action Surge (Fighter) Add one additional action and bonus action 1/short rest 2 Advantage on Save or Saves 3 Aggressive (Orc) As...

Ok. dave2008 and others - here is a chart with descriptions (some are directly from rules, some are slightly changed or made up). Name Description 1 Action Surge (Fighter) Add one additional action and bonus action 1/short rest 2 Advantage on...

Doesn't Legolas' kill count exceed Gimli's? Just a thought. The movies do a good job showing Gimli's competitive frustration.

"Rope and Reel" can also be used by a number of monsters if they use a whip or a lasso. That can make for a much more interesting encounter, as foes can restrain and drag PCs to their doom. I've always thought that the whip should have more interesting properties so that PCs and NPCs can do...

It's funny how making ranged weapons work a little better makes the game much more realistic. Now, if 10 bowmen fire on one PC, it can be devastating, so bad guys can actually threaten PCs by aiming multiple ranged weapons at them. I'm not one to argue that my fantasy game needs to be...

cooperjer, Bitbrain, Satyrn....great comments. This is the type of thread I like best. One where members all add constructively to inspire creative play. Bravo!
