    D&D 5E (2014) Concentration mechanic can ruin plots in adventures

    But D&D players are not competing with NPC like in a Mario race. If you want to use a Mario race as an example it would be like the kart racer complaining that the guy who starts the race is flying on a cloud.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why sleeping shouldn't be a long rest

    My healing version (condensed) Breather: 5 min. Heal for 1 HD Short Rest: 1 hour. Heal for 1 + Con mod HD (min 1). During which you do nothing more strenuous than light activity like eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds. Long Rest: at least 8 hours long, during which you sleep...

PC: I try and figure them out DM: What was you wisdom save again? Never mind I remember. rolls die and scribbles...

    D&D General She Rolled Two 18s.

    He effectively said he was making a joke at the beginning, and then replied that it was fact a joke. Yet you keep insisting that you are mind reader and refuse to take his statements at face value. @Richards Sorry about the repeated quoting. Hopefully this the last of it. Something of this...

    D&D General She Rolled Two 18s.

    When I get around to starting my campaign, they'll be doing stats a bit weird. There will be only 2 newish players so I'll be letting them be above average. Start with a 6x6 grid. Everyone (including me cause I don't want to left out) will roll and fill in a spot on the grid. When the grid is...

    D&D General She Rolled Two 18s.

    Just because I enjoyed reading it. ;) Contradictions in bold. It called a play on words. With 2 meanings available, it is on the reader to decide how to interpret it. But that also means that the reader does not gets to decide what the intention was. Nor does the reader get to decide...

    D&D General She Rolled Two 18s.

    I wasn't planning on reviving the derailment, but if its already off the tracks . . . Talking to a random women about her "pair of big ones" would be creepy even if she was wearing 12 inch hoop earrings (or some other large items she had). But This is clearly not the case. This entire...

    D&D 5E (2014) Setting Idea: Bronze Age Utopia

    He also mention that iron was banned, which would need a reason why. You can also add in that cast spells while holding iron has a penalty (spell failure, DC lowered, uses higher spell level than normal) Giving Iron clear advantages does a few things: PC want to use it, but it would get them in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Setting Idea: Bronze Age Utopia

    While that is all true, I believe in tormenting the PC. Letting them find something that is clearly better than anything they have, but that they can't easily keep, would make things more interesting.

    D&D 5E (2014) Setting Idea: Bronze Age Utopia

    You'd want a clear reason why someone would want to use iron. Weapons give +1to hit,+2 to damage. A concentration save from iron damage add +5 to DC. Iron armor give save bonus from non DeX saves. Use jewelry to designate social class. With lower classes using gold. Lower Middle class would be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there some kind of hoard rules somewhere?

    Just a random idea that popped into my head. The concept of the PC's have to defend an area against a theoretically infinite # of enemy. Armies of orcs or zombies. Sort of like a swarm. Any hit on an individual enemy would drop them, with a constant flow of new enemies. You'd track total hp...

    D&D 5E (2014) Learning skills during downtime without gaining levels

    So I came across a house rule that allows gaining expertise (double proficiency) through practice, study or training. Now this would for a narrowed focus, ie: swimming expertise instead of athletics. You can learn swimming even without athletics. The original had you make an attribute check...

    D&D General The senseless achitecture in most official products

    While most creatures dont leave a tunnel, anything with a dig speed wont be leaving solid rock behind it, it'll be loose stone.

    D&D General The senseless achitecture in most official products

    Between magic and creatures that dig, excavating can be a lot easier than what we are used to. If you can dig 100' tunnel just as easy as a 10', why not?

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideas for 1st level encounters

    Just looking for ideas for simple encounters, things that could be found on a Job Board in a small town. There will only be 2 (newish) players so 1st to 2nd will sort of be a 'tutorial'

    D&D 5E (2014) Philosophy: Devil's Sight

    I agree with allowing Hide in shadows working vs DS or DV, I may allow advantage depending on circumstances. Unless the hider knows to account for DS/DV.
