Can a perception or investigation check determine if an Alarm spell is on a door? What about Detect Magic?

Yes, you are correct on the name. I am also running Rise of the Rune Lords. And I sometimes call it Rise of the Rune Kings. {doh!} Good point on Maegera. It also gives a good reason to lead the party around some more. They were planning on heading to Citadel Felbar assuming the dwarves there...

Oh yes it will certainly help with plot hooks. First though, I need to figure out what he needs to do to join the various factions. Any ideas on that? Anyone have any ideas on what they can get made with the chunk of the Vodinod?

Ok, so we are running the Storm Lord's Thunder campaign. Possible spoilers. 1) The party has the chunk of Vodindod(sp?) from Triboar. They have decided that instead of selling it, they want it made into items. I said it isn't solid adamantine, it is an alloy (mostly to buy me time). So they are...

"... As a realm of pure ideas, the Astral responds to what its inhabitants believe to be true. Being able to manipulate or convince others to believe a certain way – whether through judicious use of spells/magic items, skill checks, or clever roleplay – could be of benefit in certain scenes...

Ok, so our campaign has kinda suddenly taken a hard left turn. GM and players are looking for ideas. It has been mentioned many times that it is my character's fault. It was late, I was tired, and forgot about a rule that 5E has kept in place. So ... Bag of Holding, Handy Haversack, and unique...

Just thought I'd let you folks know the direction his thoughts are currently leaning. He thinks he might try to make a deal with a vampire to turn him then release him.

I would think a vampire or lich could pass as normal if someone wasn't looking too closely. Plus there are always magical disguises and spells.

Wow! A lot of responses very quickly. Don't know esteban1997 Unless horribly disruptive I am generally open to trying to make the in-character goals playable in some fashion. the other PC's are also going for kinda wierd stuff. I'm ok with that stuff. We are playing a modified Storm King's...

Ok I have a player whose PC can't stand the thought of eventually becoming old and weak then eventually dying. He want to become an undead and live forever. I am willing to work out something with him for this. He's not sure if his character is vicious enough to sacrifice large job lots of...

One of my players is running an arcane trickster. There's a few things he wants to do that haven't come up before for me. 1) He wants to use Silent Image or Minor Image to something like make a duplicate image of a door a couple feet forward so he can crouch behind the illusion, pick the lock...

As I said, I’m new-ish to 5E. I’ve played and DM’d DnD 1E-3.5E and PF1 for decades. I’ve been a player in a 5E campaign for levels 1-10. I’ve DM’d a couple of 5E singleton adventures. Now I’m going to start a new campaign with a small group (3+ players) and will be playing on Roll20. (Actually...

Yes, fairly new to 5E. Very experienced in PF 1st Ed. I am in one 5E campaign with a single class warlock. I may be joining a second 5E campaign. It is going pretty well. Breaking out into something a bit more complex for the second campaign.

Ok, thanks for the responses. I will definitely have everything written up on all the likely forms well before hand. That is a must. Does 5th Ed have any sort of magical armor properties that can allow you to put it on quickly? Some games systems do, some don't. If not, it would obviously only...

Mistwell, Pretty decent guide. Still reading through some of the feats and abilities and considering the implications of some of that. Especially looking at his reach weapon suggestions. I'm not going entirely with his recommendations on skills. I wan't to at least have a chance at some out of...

Ok, so obviously you want to be a Circle of the Moon druid if you are aiming to fight in animal form. Because that lets you use the higher CR shapes and gives magic attacks. Correct? If I'm reading this correctly, your 3 physical stats are fairly irrelevant since they are replaced when you...

Wanting to build a barbarian. This is a bit of a departure for me since I am usually a magic user in any game system. Also fairly new to 5th Ed. GM is going to let me use Goliath race. I'm figuring bear totem path. Kinda figuring on going for mostly the shrug off any attack attack and just...

Thanks folks. You have given me some good ideas to consider. Oh absolutely. This is more in the nature of putting a scare into them. They should be able to easily go around this encounter. Of course if they choose to go in, that risk is on them.

Going to have a few things come up in the near future and curious how you would handle them mechanics wise. 1) There will be attacks by creatures with harpoons (with rope attached) and pincer staff. They will want to be dragging the PC's into the water to drown them. Harpoon could just stab...

I probably would for a F2F game. Since this is on Roll20, I have to have a digital map. Scanning them never seems to give good enough definition.
