    D&D 5E (2014) Advice wanted for DMing a new campaign

    These hardbound adventures are almost like mini-novellas. A lot of data. I would almost recommend carefully reading through it, cover to cover and takes notes, and most definately tweak it. Make changes to what you don't like/understand or agree with (make parts of it your own). Take parts...

    HMS Victorius

    And what is a Claire? That, my friend is the $64,000.00 question – and a question which requires me to travel back in time. Back when I was a younger lad, my very first gaming group was comprised of three, high school aged employees of the long since torn down Sunset Drive In, in Bellevue...

    D&D 5E (2014) Halloween themed D&D Ideas?

    Our gaming group meets bi-weekly on Saturdays. Our next game is on Halloween! As such I have been updating and converting.....THE TOMB OF HORRORS to 5e! My players are not likely to have a warm and fuzzy for me after Saturday night. Many weren't even born when ToH was first published. Fresh...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disintegrate Vs. Druid

    The Target was a wild shaped Druid. WAS A WILD SHAPED DRUID. The wild shape IS the Druid. There is NO FORM LEFT, as the wild shaped form, which is now dust, was the Druid. The wild shape is not a shield, it is not a battery of hit points FOR THIS EFFECT, the damage itself is what is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Creative ways to use spells

    I had a Druid recently cast a Purify Water on a Water Elemental. There wasn't anything wrong with the Elemental, she just wanted to "give it a hug". Without asking for a boon, the Elemental touched her gently in return and she learned "Aquan."

    D&D 5E (2014) Disintegrate Vs. Druid

    Furthermore, in every single version of the game since Advanced Dungeons and Dragon (1st Edition) to now, the rules do give the DM/Group the ability to modify their game, the rules, et al, to fit their needs. So, coming to a public forum with a ton of experienced players and DMs and asking our...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disintegrate Vs. Druid

    OK. As a DM. If a rule, written in a book, and it doesn't pass the "makes sense/logical" step in my mind, I modify it so it does or I remove that skill/spell/ability completely. Stoneskin, as written in 1st and 2nd Edition rules was such a rediculously powerful spell that there was ZERO fear...

    Low ability score examples?

    IN the David Eddings "Belgariad" series, one of the Sorcerers was named Beldin. He was also called "The Troll" by many. He had a big heart, but he was hunchbacked, and his face was "twisted and deformed". He was one of the good guys, and very powerful - but also hideously ugly, rarely bathed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Disintegrate Vs. Druid

    I agree with you! What I do not agree with is Wild Shape Chimpanzee falls from great height. It has 20 HP. It takes A GAZILLION HP damage when it goes splat. It reverts to Druid true form... un-harmed.
