    Kensai fighter archetype

    I still think the PROF BONUS to AC is to good. I would suggest using the wisdom mechanic (2nd level abilitiy). Then at 7th level giving the PArry feat (DEfensive something) for free. That way your base AC is still "normal" (15ish?) but you can add 3 or so once per round as a reaction. I...

    Kensai fighter archetype

    IMO, you get too much at level 1 and not enough from 2-9. I would switch the AC bonus from PROF to wisdom. It's more in line with the 5E rules. I would add 5' of movement at 3 and 6. And maybe one of the fighting style option?

    It doesn't need to be "primarily". The use of some "services" (character generator, online books, encounter set up) through a subscription brings in a income stream while being a supplement to the traditional market.

    I thought WOTC was doing this with their subscription model. I can't remember how much I paid per month to use their character builder and stuff in 3E.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlocks and there patrons

    There are two warlock patrons in my games. 1.) The Patron is a trapped Aboleth who is way more evil the character. The PC finds himself trying to hide his thoughts from his patron on a consistent basis. I only the PC to "commune" with patron in between sessions to ask questions but he is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Concentration Bugging You?

    I really like the concentration rules. It's make the melee casters (cleric, paladin, bladelocks) add the situation into the equation of when do I cast a spell. Of course, I don't have a problem when stuff doesn't work, and the way I play, stuff almost never works :) If you do have a problem...

    D&D 3.x 3ed DC to 5ed DC

    for skills or saving throws? SKills are pretty similar- Just subtract 5 or so. The old 10 is the new 5. The old 20 is the new 15. Saving throws are totally different, they are more or less 8 (or 10) + prof. bonus + stat mod

    Lingering Injuries

    I am working on a way to make "Lingering Injuries" more "lingering". I think my mechanic is a little clunky. Any suggestions are welcome. Lingering Injuries Lingering injuries can add a dynamic that improves the combat narrative as well as the story arc. When presented with a long...

    D&D 5E (2014) The curious case of the double-dragon sorcerer

    I would make the immunity a reaction that lasted for one round and then have it recharge after a short rest.

    D&D 5E (2014) Group new to 5E - what should we know?

    A character with the HEALER feat can play the role of the healing magic guy, as can a druid. The Life Cleric is obviously the best at it. Having your ranger be the primary healer probably isn't going to be enough if you're use to using wands of CLW's. I mean you certainly can run a game...

    D&D 5E (2014) Race-Class Combinations

    That's the stuff love in character creation. Some guys in my group made a "Fencing School" that produced blousing wearing, rich kid barbarians. They didn't "rage" they "focused". Some Dryad obsessed, elf barbarians is now on my list of groups to create. or Halfling Urban Rangers or the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making Sandbox Adventures

    I would like to see: * A list of the NPC's motivations. There should be some sort of underlieing conflict in the town/area. *Suggested reactions by the NPC's to actions taken by the PC's. Maybe mayoral candidate #1 is a secret rascist and will try to increase the town guard if the elves in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Race-Class Combinations

    IME, it boils down to the DM's philosophy. Is the world's history static and unchallengeable? Does the DM have a vision that can't be changed? or Is it a fluid world where the players can create a character without restrictions? If in your world, let's call it Oreo, no dwarves practice...

    D&D 5E (2014) Missing Spells

    Did Cure Blindness/Deafness get renamed or rolled into another spell? If not, how do remove a perrmanent blindness condition other than the heal spell? What about Make Whole? Is there a better version of the mending spell somewhere?

    Hobgoblins as a PC Race

    I would consider making Hobgoblin a "class". 1st level 1d8 hit points- all armor and weapons, 2 skills, +2 to STR, 1d6 martial damage dice, darkvision 60' 2nd level- +2 to CON 3rd level- +2 to DEX, 2d6 martial damage After 3rd level they would need to take a PHB class. I think this makes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you have a blog?

    Long Story Short- I need to practice my writing and was hoping someone would let me post some articles on D&D on their blog or something similar. In a perfect world, they would help me edit and be involved in the writing procress. Long Story Long- About 12 years ago, I had a couple few...

Quick use: This power only requires a free action (once per round) instead of a standard action if the battle is at...
