Fey Hobgoblins make amazing Masterminds. They have a unique and powerful way of contributing buffs to people every turn. Outside of that exception, I have not seen any good experiences with those subclasses. In a friend's campaign they misread the 4 elements monk rules and had an entirely...

A Cryptozoological Camera. For some reason it is always out of focus and has a chance of showing a blurry Big Foot or UFO when you look through it. The good news it, it does Detect Undead (or Good & Evil), as it takes blurry photos of ghosts. A less silly option but, those paper offerings that...

A sheet with eye holes cut out can be used to scare ghosts. Repel Undead. A Star Wars style hologram projector of a sexy lady ghost = hypnotic pattern, hold undead, etc A ghost dog that keeps grabbing the shin bones of undead and running away with them.

I'd make them Inuit probably. You have to be tough as nails to live in the frozen tundra. It supports clan bonds. They are hunting and fighting terrifying animals both at sea and on land. That supports a hunter culture and need for strength. The land and weather itself requires that you...

My concern would be around the fact that any cliff or decent sized wall will negate many combats. One successful grapple and off the enemy goes over the cliff. It is adding fall damage to almost every grapple at worst. With a 40' fly speed, every time you grapple somebody you could just fly...

I made a domain to fit a religious order that I have in my games. They are a cult of Oblivion. They are not bad people, in fact they are generally good. They believe that nothing should be forever. In particular, they want to see an end to suffering. They are the enemies of the Dark Powers...

I only roll when: A) the result is in doubt B) It will build some dramatic tension C) It's more fun/funny that way If somebody sneaks up on a sleeping person and wants to slit their throat, is the result in doubt? You could argue that for dramatic tension the stealth might be in doubt, so they...

My experience is from actual play. It is what pointed out to me how OP the spell can be. It gets worse and worse the higher level you go. At low levels it is just a different/worse shield. When used against attacks it is fine. When used against skill rolls, it is interesting. When used to push...

It is a first level spell that can force a spell of any level through. Even if only once a day you use it for force through a banishment or polymorph, it is as if you had another 4th level spell + an extra action (not having to cast again) + a free advantage. It is insanely OP. This is made far...

I get brain fatigue from GMing for too long. I just feel like sitting and staring at a wall, doing nothing at all, thinking about nothing at all. It is a bit boring, but that is what my brain feels it needs to recover.

There is Netflix (I think) show where everybody in the world has an aura that shows visual representations of their thoughts. That could be a cool quirk. Funny interactions the first time the PCs try to deceive an enemy and the aura shows them stabbing the person in the back. I like bedir...

Have you considered the awesome combo of Fey Hobgoblin and Rogue Mastermind? IRC It lets you do a help action as a bonus action, and every time you do the help action you get another bonus, like THP, disadvantage on enemy attacks etc. I think it would suit the style you are going for and is...

It always annoys me that people that claim to be into D&D for the RP element think they can't RP if they have low charisma. That is just another type of power gaming. Having -1 or even -2 charisma makes for some of the most fun RP around. You are bad at most social interaction, why is that...

Brennan is the best, I just wish he would not take so long to introduce characters in every show except Starstruck. He takes 2-3 hrs just to introduce the characters, before getting into any real action. It has made it nearly impossible to get my friends into watching Fantasy High. They all...

Pretty much, but I would not go into detail like you did below this. I would not even really name them 'in world' just use the names for mechanical rules related reasons. You simply describe what your cool armour looks like using those very vague guidelines. Then assign a mechanical benefit to...

Simply redefine what each type of armour is. Image search The Musketeers TV series. It has great examples of different levels of armour. The light armour = a heavy tunic and maybe some ceremonial pauldrons. Medium = Leather breastplate and maybe vambraces Heavy = Plate breastplate and maybe a...

That's the really cool thing. They are playing a semi-undead race, Reborn I think. All the rest of the flavour is actually from being a Moon Druid. They are not themed around being a druid at all, that is just the mechanical chassis that gives them their vampire powers. Their bite/claws are...

I made it a class feature. It means they don't need to spend a cantrip slot on it, and it scales off Warlock level, not total level. I give the 2nd melee attack for free for hexblades too. I did not like the weak RP I was seeing in my games regarding people swearing themselves to entities, then...

For those curious, he is loyal to the previous king, the vampire lord. The upstart theocracy are usurpers, but the city can be saved from them. He was a loyal praetorian guard of the previous ruler, before he got turned into a vampire. Then he followed him into vampirism. He still has family...
