To each his own, broski. I find it easier to say, "take a level in sorcerer" than to have people try to trade their proficiency in the shovel for 1st level bard spells ;) Whatever tells your story is best.

I completely disagree. If there is a mechanic you want "to work" you should map it out beforehand. I feel that classes don't dictate role, role playing, or anything else like they used to. I use classes like any other mechanic now, I don't let class dictate my fluff.

Think about this: One of the "regular" guards is actually a warlock/thief with a backed charisma, trained deception (or what ever bluff is called now), who is really getting his powers from some old duerger champion. This spirit is pissed that his clan is being run by some half demon, red...

1. Have one of the Duerger try to lead a coup against the current regime. They could offer the PC's some equipment and an escape route in exchange that they kill this kill but not that guy. 2. If there is a local Duerger enemy, this would be great time for them to attack. The PC's could...

Your mother was a squirrel (cast on a wolf)....now that I am thinking about it we use a lot of "your mom" jokes Even when you were alive, you sucked (cast on a ghoul) Do you macrame your own webs? (cast on a spider) Die Mouth Breather! (cast on a sahuagin) You used to be a minion (cast on...

Just don't be wrong. I love when I play with DM's who think of something totally awesome for my character and don't really like when DM's make a big deal how they designed a magic item "just for me" and have it be something I don't really want or like.

I like that idea but the all or nothing mechanic would be easily manipulated by my players. I would suggest an endurance (con) check (or Arcana or whatever) after each spell cast. Start it at 10 but then add one for every spell level cast. Make the checks after every combat or after every...

I use your chair example a lot when running with minis. We use terrain a lot but sometimes I just will draw a big room and say its filled with crap feel free to add stuff ( and we sometimes draw it in). I usually include skill checks to manipulate the chandelier, table, bed, pot of soup that...

Can you give an example of why its obviously broken? My main two concerns are that PC spellcasters will blow through spell slots and that NPC spell casters will be able to cast more spells than they "should". For combat spells, I suspect most melee guys will lose concentration very quickly.

Imbue with Spell Ability Evocation Level: Clr 4, Magic 4 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch Target: Creature touched; see text Duration: Permanent until discharged (D) Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) You transfer some of your...

We use mini's for battle like 90% of the time. Whenever we include some "skill challenges" in the combat we generally scrap them though. We don't forgo them often but when we do it's pretty cool. One of my favorite combats in 5E was between the party and a bunch of 1e FF Dark Creepers with...

I am a big fan of cool magic abilities on suboptimal weapons. I have had vorpal (heart piercers) spears, hand axes of speed (extra attack as a bonus), defender whips (free parry feat ability), tridents of the elements (3d4 elemental damage each d4 different) and a constricting net ( d8...

Is there a mode? Just kinda wondering.

Short Question: What's the average of the better die roll on a d20 made with advantage?

Seems appropriate.

Right Imbue....thanks guys.

I may be getting the vocabulary wrong but in older editions there were spells and abilities that allowed spell casters the ability to give non spellcasters the ability to cast a spell. There was a mechanic that allowed a wizard to cast a spell that allowed the party thief to cast invisibility...

I like skeletons as well. Don't be afraid to give one or two better equiptment (heavy armor, 2handed sword, a net,etc), a level in cleric, the magic using feat, or an extra hit die. Variety is the spice of combat!

Thanks for the ideas guys. The character is actually a war/pal/sor so I have foci out the wazoo. Looks to me like the options are: 1. Ignore the rule 2. Take the Warcaster feet 3. Take and use the still spell metamagic ability

I think I missed the original question.... Anywho, if you mean how do you make him pop, as in stand out as something super cool, then I suggest giving him a personality and goals. I would start with a motivation, and an enemy. Also, and I find this happens organically sometimes, just start...
