[Aside alert!] The real advantage of Meteor Swarm is its one mile range, outside the range of Counterspell and hard to detect the casting in the first place. You have an enemy spellcaster flying or teleporting around with a bunch of these on scrolls and your party is toast if they don't start...

If everyone - including yourself - is having fun then you're doing it right. Everything else is secondary.

Some years ago I suggested that spellcasters should recover some spells - up to their Proficiency Bonus -1 for full spellcasters - on a Short Rest and 1 spell per spell level on a long rest. The base number of low level spells got halved. So you just restrict the number of long rests that the...

Don't be afraid to apply the Mythic trait (from Theros, 1/day instant resurrection to full HP) if things go too easily. Possibly along with the dragon's mate arriving. Remember that minions can have lair actions too

Since the thread has been resurrected, let me offer that a good way to go is short mini-campaigns. Say one tier. Then you can finish relatively quickly and do something else and maybe come back at some point (like this thread) or segue straight into the next mini-campaign.

Jill Bearup's short review: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4LgmPGLebAw

Oh well. But while I think that's fine for the Archery fighting style I think that with respect to Sharpshooter it fails to mark the difference between a weapon that just happens to be thrown - think of Robin killing the Sheriff at the end of Prince of Thieves - and a weapon that's designed for...

Has anyone tried it with thrown weapons? Say a Machete-like character?

Apologies if this has been covered in the 224 posts I've skipped but when is the pee break? That is, the scene you can safely skip to go and have a pee.

The attendants with whom I spoke knew nothing about it. And when I put the catalog number in the Wallace Collection's website it produces nothing.

But it's not studded leather armour for a person; it's a protective leather binding on a spear. It's in the far corner of the Indian / Persian hall. Object 2196 FWIW

Is Burlew down to one a month now?

I'm a big fan of the "Has X's story finished?" style. D&D is, among other things, a collaborative storytelling game and many players are invested in their characters.

I don't have the PHB to hand but I think that Hunter's Mark only needs to be upcast to 4th level to last all day, and a ranger can do that without multiclassing.

Do tell. For me the canonical example is Hunter's Mark where with upcasting you can get it to last all day. Do also remember that multiclass characters may have high level spell slots but no high level spells. A Wiz 9 / Cl 9, for example, will have a 9th level spell slot but only spells of up to...

How about spells that are upcast to 6th level? Are there any interesting effects there? For instance, Mordenkainen's Private Sanctum increases with the cube of the level increase - at 6th level one casting protects a volume 300 feet cubed.

Something else to try is the Mythic Trait from Theros. Basically resurrection with full HP. Or, if you want to be nasty, when the PCs are congratulating themselves, have the other dragon show up. And because the PCs are busy celebrating it attacks fully prepared and with surprise.

Have you tried nets? Or the Web spell.

I would make each night a Short Rest.
