He isn't inherently crazy. That is a side effect of a particular item he is using. One of the PC's in the group will particularly like the powers of the item, but also has a great fear of magic that affects the mind. It will be interesting to see what he chooses to do.

Do you have a link?

Hmm... Kinda like the Blue Abishai. You are definately correct that as written, it is too powerful. Yes on dropping the caster level to 9th. That is still enough to scare them when the spells hit. Think I will also change the fire immunity to resistance. Drop the ability stats by 2 each. I think...

Yeah well big mouth GM (me) was just talking about some background color stuff which then somehow became a major story arc when they got excited about it. Apparently the idiot GM did too good of job making up some wierd sh.. stuff on the fly for color commentary on the city. It was deemed more...

Wow! I think 17th level is a bit high level. Though I did want this to be tough. Won't be just 1 encounter. It will be the BBEG and all his minions/allies on, in, and near the keep. I am sure of at least 1 way to reach the isle. We will see if they find/think of it. There are at least a couple...

Hmm... I didn't realize the all the non-armor +AC things require attunement. If your GM is generous with stuff (and one of ours is), I can see that becoming a bit of an issue. But still an extra +1 on your AC seems like such a huge issue to you guys? So your AC goes from 18 to 19, most decently...

Party is 7th level. Pretty good at straight standard combat. They sometimes get into trouble when wierd stuff happens though. They are only fair-middlin at social and investigative stuff. I intend this to be difficult-to-nearly-impossible if they just stupidly charge. With good tactics...

Ok, I know I'm still pretty new to 5E. I'm reading some repeats of what I've heard in the local shop. So I'm going to ask for some clarifications of some of this. Why is a Rod Of Lordly Might less 'disruptive' than a +2 weapon? Why is a +1 shield more of a problem than a +1 armor? Why is a +1...

Ah, forgot about needing hands for spell casting. I probably won't take war caster. And we are inexperienced enough that we try not to need to modify rules if possible. Ok, so I will just aim toward the rod. Thanks folks.

Our PC's have the opportunity to possibly get some uncommon magic items through a deal. But before making such a momentous decision, I need to check on some things. Can a warlock use both a +1 Rod of the Pact Keeper and a +1 Wand of the War Mage. Gaining a +2 to hit, ignore half cover, and can...

So, since there are no "official" rules for retraining. Our GM might like some possible suggestions. How would you handle it in your campaign if a player wanted his PC to retrain a couple of proficiencies and/or a feat?

Sorry, I thought you meant bardic inspiration. Well it is more that it is limiting options. We have a couple of PC's that have been using Moonbeam quite a bit. Even if it hits a couple of PC's it is worth it to hit a bunch of whatevers. Now they are needing to be a bit more circumspect to not...

We don't have anyone in our group giving inspiration. The radiance actually is mostly coming from a couple of our group casting spells with radiance AoE spells fairly often. There is another PC with persuasion and they haven't always been real happy with my attempts at deception. No one else...

Ok, so my 6th level tiefling warlock put on a "Suit of the Dead" because he thought it was magic leather armor. It fused with my skin and now I look (and smell) like a rotting zombie. Considered Undead - everyone looking at me, including other undead, will think I am an undead zombie...

Thanks folks!

So yeah, we're still pretty new at 5th Ed and these questions may seem pretty obvious to some of you. 1) A trap says the target is paralyzed (or blinded) on a failed save. It doesn't give a duration. Does that mean it is permanent? Pretty harsh if so. 2) Consumable Items 2a) Anyone can use a...

Don't want to do Hexblade with this character. My next character will either be a full out Hexblade or a barbarian. The Bard level was primarily to get a few more spells known and a few extra spell slots for things like the Hex spell. Only 2 spell slots with a group that doesn't like to take...

Ok, so the GM lets us adjust the PC's up until they have played at 5th level. I'm getting ready to start playing this guy at 5th level. If I want to make any particular adjustments, I need to decide now. This guy is a pathological liar. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending upon your...

So almost nothing that session ended up going the way I expected. Loved it! I decided to put 3 griffin eggs that were in the process of hatching. So the local ruler could start raising a flock. However the druid kept using call lightning on the caster next to an egg. Eventually I felt I had to...

Trying to think back, I think the PC's were 4th level then. I don't know, maybe it was bad writing. But the module seemed to think that the mob of attackers would be a 'significant' threat to make the party more cautious. That wasn't this group. That was in AL play. They were only 3rd level...
