    D&D 5E (2014) How to engage a "poke the bear" player?

    If you insist on an in-game "solution", just make attacking NPCs a fatal mistake. For example: Provide all interesting NPCs with bodyguards. Lots of bodyguards. Word has got around that this PC is a psychopath so people are reacting to the situation by protecting themselves. This guy has come...

    D&D 5E (2014) Survivor Core Classes- Fighter Wins!

    Looks like we might be getting towards combat for the endgame, so I've converted 1pp -> 10gp and then 1gp -> 1hp. Feel free to undo this, though, it's only a suggestion. It makes the Mystic very vulnerable to physical attack, so he will have to fight dirty which should be interesting. With just...

    Sister Jericho casually donned her mail coif and checked her appearance in a small hand-mirror. "Foghorn," she said quietly, "Can you check my helmet is straight at the back, please?" "Sure, is it helming-up time already? Yup, you're fine." was the response. "How's my plume?" "Very dandy. Now...

    Merciless? Moi? You know how it is, when characters start writing themselves. All those people thought they were leaving of their own accord, but is that likely? All at once, suddenly? Seems to me that Mystic Moss has been flexing a few mental muscles. And have you noticed how Moss is using...

    After disgorging the Ranger, Gobblet had retreated to a corner under the bar, disguised herself as a beer barrel and sat there feeling unhappy. She was accustomed to the goblins and they didn't taste too bad even when they set themselves on fire, but she wasn't used to all these other people who...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you want psionics in your D&D?

    I knew beforehand that you would be asking that question, because I made you ask it. Your mind is utterly under my control. But you don't believe it is and that's why I'm getting away with it. *evil cackle*

    Edgiban felt confident. He had eliminated the blundering oaf of a Barbarian and he was flush with wealth. The Rogue and the Thief would be easily disposed of with a few spells when the time came. Now, all that stood in the way of his ultimate triumph were Foghorn and his moll, the bookish Wizard...

    "Guys, I don't want to worry you, but ..." called Granger, who had been staring out of the window at the distant wilderness and wondering if he was ever going to get back there, "but there is a whole pack of goblins lurking in those trees over there and from the way they are lurking, it looks as...

    After some guffawing behind the curtain, Cholmondley (pron. Chumbly) returned, holding Knife's blood-stained dagger gingerly between his fingertips. "I found this clue," he laughed proudly. "I think someone got stabbed." A few eyebrows were raised and there were pointed comments sotto voce...

    Is this a dagger I see before me? The nameless Assassin was quietly waiting out of sight behind a curtain, waiting for someone to fall convincingly by accident onto the poisoned dagger that he was holding behind his back so that he could, quite unintentionally you understand, relieve them of...

    Sister Jericho, being a Cleric of Lefthander, was something of a connoisseuse when it came to wine. That's why, when she visited the Frolicking Frog, she drank gin. She had a calm and easy-going manner that seemed to radiate reassurance and people found themselves confiding in her, more than...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Adventure Help Needed

    The captain knows the identity of the human miners who felled the oak, because he put them up to it himself. He is secretly encouraging the humans to start mining because of a personal grudge against the dwarven family that has the monopoly on iron. The eladrin know this and enticed him into the...

    "My evil plan has worked!" cried the Rogue, "As the last one standing, you will take the blame for murdering all the others! Whereas in truth it was me, stealthily stabbing them in the back one by one!" "So, you confess at last," replied the fighter. "No-one will ever believe you! I have left...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    How about, introducing a minor flaw and involving the other PC's in helping you to overcome it on a day-to-day basis? Then you return the favour by helping them out in someway. It helps with bonding. For example: she has never learnt to read. So if faced with a written notice, she asks another...
