I have a hard time with that as well. I often talk to my players and ask them what they would like if they could buy stuff. Then I work backwards from that. If it's a big quest then they might get enough gold to buy what they want or just have the patron give it to them. I often say...

Wraiths and spectres cause a reduction in Max Hit Points on a failed saving throw. I think that is the "modern" mechanic.

I like the boon idea as well. 5E is so flexible with MC and Feats, I don't think you need to invent new mechanics. I would think something like: Holy Warrior of Torm Requirements: *9th level Character * Must have 5 or more renown points (essentially completed 5 mission for the Church of...

Me too! Thanks!

Me too! Thanks!

I really llike the exhaustion rules....I am thinking about adding the option of "trying really hard". The PC's can gain advantage on a skill check OR recall a spell but suffer an exhaustion penalty as well.

We are trying the exhaustion rules if you get knocked down to zero. If you go unconscious, you move down the exhaustion ladder one notch.

I always thought they were the evil version of Apollo's horses.

It's just an organization you can join. http://dnd.wizards.com/playevents/players

Our PC's are pretty good at it. The save is a 10 and almost everyone has a + from con so it's more like a 8 or so. The front line battle cleric/warlock types fail every now and then. Only one guy took war caster and he has literally never failed (5 or so rolls) in two games. With that...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The kid DIDN'T want to multiclass because she wanted the thief abilities.

I hear you....I just think that multiclassing isn't that hard. In the "new" group I am running one girl is running a thief and wants to be a "ninja". She asked me to be better in combat and I said you could take a level or two in fighter and she said to me "but then I don't get these cool...

I let the kids I DM (12-14), multiclass. I honestly don't know what the big deal is. If you have these setting specific guidelines, or want a different feel to the game , or you just hate the mechanic I guess I get it, but the fears of creating unbalanced characters seems unfounded to me.

to create fun, diverse, or otherwise interesting characters? I don't think anyone is saying YOU HAVE to include it, I think the majority are saying we use it and really like it. I asked a bunch of questions because I wanted to know your thought process. I found it rigid.

I think this sums it up: For: More options for players Against: Don't like the mechanic.

"Something like the Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer example is just a complete non-starter for a variety of setting reasons. But, say we start it anyway. Then, there is the plausibility of such an individual existing anywhere in the game world. The deity choices of the world. The structure/orders of...

Mr. Dragons: How would you respond to this Warlock/Paladin/Sorcerer build "rationale": This is my story: I am dwarf that has connected with the spirit of Bahumut. In exchange for my devotion to him he grants me powers, as I am not truly a priest, my powers manifest as a dragon's would. I...

If the story is good, the rules don't matter. One of my favorite DMs runs a totally railroaded game. There's little real choice we just follow his lead. He often MAKES us CHARATCERS and defines their motivations. But the story is great and we love being characters in his world. My games...
