Again thanks folks for all your advice. Related to the total wealth. I was not aware that 5thEd was intended to be balanced without any magic items. Good to know. Based upon the various examples and lists, I think we might be slightly over 'average' on magic items. But I think we are more than...

Hmm... When we rotate DM's it is the same PC's. Whoever is DM at that point just has his PC off doing something else or down with an illness. We aren't tracking XP, just leveling up every few sessions of game time or when needed for the next written adventure. When I said the "total value of...

Ok, so our whole group is fairly new to 5thEd. A couple are new to the DM role (we rotate DM's). And a couple are completely new to PnP RPG's entirely. I understand, "the DM can make it however he wants." However, since we are fairly new and rotating DM's, we decided to stick as close as we can...

I'm still pretty new to 5th Ed, so this may be a stupid/obvious question. I have a player whose PC is a dwarven cleric of the StormLord. One of the PC's in-character goals is to find a way to get more lightning (electric) and/or thunder (sonic) spells into his list of spells allowed by his...

Yeah, I made a couple mistakes in that first post. It was supposed to say Book of Shadows was the next invocation I take. Unless I trade out repelling blast for it. And yes Hellish Rebuke is a race spell not a class spell. The other is from The Great Old One.

Would like some ideas and suggestions for the future career of my warlock. Here is what he currently is at level 3. The GM will allow us to do some retcon of the build. Tiefling, Warlock 3, Pack of the Tome, The Great Old One, Agonizing Blast, Book of Ancient Secrets, Repelling Blast Str 8...

Believe me, I understand the story made at the table. (Been playing since the old blue and pink books.) But sometimes there isn't too much for the story to build on, if all the module has his room after room of fights/ambushes/traps. Yes, I can add things for social interaction, mysteries...

Hmm... That series of 3 from the Burning Sky Saga sound great for our group. But we all agreed to just pick one so that each of us would get a chance to GM before the level gets too high. But I might ask them if they want me to do 3 anyway. Forge of Fury sounds like it might be too much of just...

So we've got a group of players most of whom are brand new to 5th Ed D&D. They have played other RPG's though. We are playing over Roll20 and rotating GM's. My turn will come up fairly soon. The group will at that time be level 4. Looks like the group is melee druid, melee paladin, wizard...

Ok, so one of the groups I play with are not real build savy. I personally like putting a lot of effort into make the PC as good as I can. In order to not dominate the table and hog the spotlight, I make wierd concepts then optimize them as much as I can do get them back up to pretty decent...

Ok, so still pretty new to DM'ing 5th ED. Am making a long term NPC that the party will be interacting with for a fairly long time to come. Wealthy father wants his son to have his 'time in the sun' before settling down to the family business. The PC's will be in charge of keeping him alive and...

Hmm... Ok, I see what you mean. However, that is really more of a bard with agonizing, repelling, eldritch blast tacked on. Rather than a warlock. So since a lot of the reason behind this character is to see how the non-vancian spell casting works out, I think I will stick with single class...

Can you explain how?

Ok, learned a bit more about the group makeup and that we will be starting at level 2 and using 27 point buy for abilities. Wizard with a focus on conjuration spells Druid with mostly defensive spells to help fight in beastform Ranger archer Paladin So I think my debuffing warlock will fit in...

Yes, that is what I meant. I actually forgot that it was the name of a specific spell.

Ok, I gave up on 5thEd Adventure League. Won't go into the why for's and how comes, but I just wasn't satisfied with it. :( For my pickup games I will stick with Pathfinder. However, we now have a group of 4+ people that I know well that want to play 5thEd on Roll20. Huzzah! :D We are going to...

Unfortunately, unless they have recently ruled otherwise, Adopted doesn't give you access to Toothy. Adopted gives you a Race trait. So with Adopted Half-Orc you could take the Almost Human or Amazingly Ugly as one of your two chosen traits. It does not give you Alternate Racial traits. The...

Yup, this one is for AL. It was supposed to have the AL tag on it. Don't know if I can add that anymore. So can't use both books. And I think I like the defensive benefits of Absorb Elements more than the Offense of Booming Blade.

Afriend of mine is probably starting up a new home campaign in a fewweeks. No I don’t know anything yet about the campaign, so it ispossible that this won’t work. No I don’t know what anyone elseis bringing yet, so this may not work with the group dynamic oroverlap too much with one or more...

Ok, been thinking about this some more and considering how our regular group tends to perform.Since i haven't yet played at level 5 (just to level 4 now), I can still change him. I'm having difficulty getting clear answers on filling a ritual book and it sounds like it comes down to table...
