Vicious Mockery. I have lost count how many kobolds have died from our bard's yo mama jokes. It has become tradition to hurl an insult every time something dies from it. Adds a lot of fun to the gaming table.

Speaking of poisons. I haven't seen any indication that a poison is used up after the first hit. From the text I have read, it seems that a poisoned sword stays poisoned for the whole minute. As someone who was perpetually disappointed with poisons in 3rd, I am happy so see that they might...

Of course the actual reason has nothing to do with fantasy economics, but gameplay. Magic loot tends to be way more valuable than mundane loot (some exceptions at the low end magic spectrum and high end mundane spectrum, of course). If you craft magic at the mundane rate, it takes approximately...

I think that this is a question a lot of DM's struggle with, myself included. A couple of relevant and semi-coherent thoughts I had while considering this. 1) It is different for each group. One person's dark and disturbing is another person's nap time. You know what I find to be one of the...

In the pact magic section of multiclassing, it says you can cast spells from other classes in your pact magic spell slots. Also, I really like the "songs sung before mankind existed" idea. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

I though someone had mentioned things like gaining fire immunity and such. Also, is it just me or does + Ability Score Increase not equal + 9th level spell slot?

That's okay though, my best friend works directly with nukes. And he has flat out said that I'm one of the few people preventing him from losing his faith in humanity. Tremble, world, tremble. MWAHAHAHAHAHA...*HACK*..*COUGH* P.S. That has likely changed now that he has a newborn. Miniature...

I liked the "miswritten rule" much better. Maybe will allow anyone trained in arcana to attempt to use a scroll in games I DM. Not sure yet, though.

+1,000,000 points to improving world creation. Makes for some of the most interesting games in my experience.

I recently had number 1 come up. I let them throw it as their free use an object, but the character on the other end had to make a DC 10 dexterity check to catch it. Roll failed, and the sword stuck point first into the ground, so the character had to use their action to pull it out. It was a...

I think it depends. In the OP example of a warmonk, hex+flurry of blows adds in more damage than extra attack. (Though you do have to spend a bonus action on it). Furthermore, you can get hex NOW, instead of waiting, say, two more levels for extra attack. For a fighter barbarian, getting rage to...

You can prove nothing!

This makes me realize that I have to stat up a limited use artifact for my campaign. It will be a "modern weapon", one use artifact, of which there are only 3 of in the world. That is 3. The number is 3, neither 2, nor 4. 5 is right out. I think I'll have it do quadruple damage to rabbits, and...

Mine too doctorhook. Hate to say it, but if the MM and DMG hold up no better, they won't get another dime out of me. I still have 3.0 books that have been put through the ringer and aren't missing a single page. Though I love the content, the quality of the book itself is abysmal.

Hmm, that's a good point. Both feat or fighting style ideas have merit. I had actually recently worked on some new fighting styles just a couple of days ago.

So awhile ago, I realized that there wasn't much in the way of making a thrown weapon warrior. Characters with multiple attacks couldn't draw and throw, and there was no specialist feat. You could make do with sharpshooter and two weapon fighting, but that didn't really solve the first problem...

I'm currently dming, but I love the idea of a warlock/bard. It works right out of the gate at level 2. I may be overestimating this, but I think being able to cast healing word and have it recharge on each short rest is gonna come in real handy. At Warlock 2/Bard 1 you can have a 1d10+Cha...

Well, when I think agile katana wielder I think Rurouni Kenshin. So you have a character focused on speed, either killing the enemy before they can act, or avoiding most attacks. Also, parrying seems to be a staple of samurai combat in lots of media, though I've heard it isn't very historically...

Transmutation, because at high levels you can remove annoying conditions like poison, disease, and death. That's right, I don't need no stinkin' deity to raise the dead. I went to medical school!
