    Charm Person before and after combat

    Iniciative is rolled when two or more sides decide to do something at the same time. You don't roll iniciative because a hobgoblin drew it's sword or because it is attacking you. You roll iniciative because you want to answer to his action. If he will try to attack me, I want to attack back! --...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you find Fantasy Grounds just too much of an investment?

    LordEntrails Thank you for the answer. The coolest feature of roll20 is the Dynamic Light that you described. Really, I and my players love it. But it is a paid feature. Although roll20 does have the Fog of War feature (free), in which the GM manually reveals the map in parts, just like you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question: Beast Companion and Barding Armor

    Ok, the Barding description in PHB says that "any type of armor shown on the Armor table in this chapter can be purchased as barding", as long as you can afford it. I assume that the beast can add it's Dexterity modifier as long as the armor allows it. (none for heavy armor, 2 for medium armor...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you find Fantasy Grounds just too much of an investment?

    Hey guys. I don't know Fantasy Grounds, but I play on roll20.net, which is a free rpg platform. It has it's own problems, but works well for my purposes and is free for DM and players. So, can someone that knows both platforms point out the pros and cons of both? Whats the differences between...

    D&D 5E (2014) Barbarians: Why Rage per Day?

    I know that it isn't balanced just as I wrote, but are you saying Action Surge alone is in par with one use of Rage? I disagree with that. Anyways, I wasn't comparing the barbarian to the fighter when I suggested the rage/short rest option, but with the barbarian as it is in PHB. At first...

    D&D 5E (2014) My shield is invisible

    Shield works well when the DM rolls the attack openly. When the DM rolls both player and DM sees the result and knows whether the attack hits or not. However, the player must decides whether it is going to cast the spell or not before the damage roll. You cast it with a raction. No doubt about...

    D&D 5E (2014) Barbarians: Why Rage per Day?

    Xeviat I don't know how much is it balanced, but I would change the barbarian to be able to use one range per short rest. This means that you will be ignoring the number of ranges/day column of the barbarian table. Also, this change is flavorously reasonable: the barbarian will rage as the...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM's: what do you do with players who want to switch characters?

    Let he do it, off course! If the player isn't satisfied with his character, he must change. You need to add a penality, however. Like "your new character will start with half the total amount of xp of your previous character". He will start at one level of disadvantage from the other players...

    D&D 5E (2014) Beast Master Ranger Revamp

    Changing the CR threshold of the beast companion isn't a good solution because many players don't like the idea of changing it's dear pet companion just because you can get a stronger one. This is cruel! :( The beast companion need to, instead, grow stronger alongside with the ranger. That's why...

    Dual Wield Barbarian Path

    Xeviat is right. The class flavor is interesting, but please read the Modifying Classes Unearthed Arcana for guidance on developing new class options for balance purposes.
