    It's a crazy mix of damage and foresight: 1 warlock 1 arcane trickster 2 diviners 1 eldrich knight 1 arcane ranger 1 war cleric 1 life cleric (maybe) 3 fighters Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    The BBEG has had hundreds of years to prepare in his ice castle. I planned on having a sea of undead surrounding the castle, (bit another NPC will show up in an airship at some point and drop a devastation orb designed to destroy undead, and it will open the way to the castle (but they won't...

    The next encounter is the Horseman of Death, then, The Legendary 5th Horseman (I still need to build this guy). Then the BBEG at the end. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    My fear is I've bitten off more than I can chew. After this encounter (at 20), they will get a Boon, then a Sub-Boss- another Boon... Then the BBEG at the end. This will be a huge deal. An evil Necromancer with 4 Simulacrum all with 9th level magic. They will have 10 PCs, each with 2 boons...

    That's the thing, this group of 5 people, (now playing 10 total characters, because those characters have never played beyond 18-20l, these players have played together for nearly 20 years. They face-roll everything, they play like a well oiled machine-each knowing their rolls and place in the...

    We don't use XP, never have. We use milestone/encounters/roleplaying segments for leveling up. Also, the group is level 20. They are very experienced and we have played together for nearly 20 years. This is my first time DMing 5th, and I am taking them into an epic finalé in 3 more sessions...

    How do you determine higher challenges with larger groups? If you have a CR 11, and 10 PCs @ level 20. How many CR 11s do you need? Or, how many CR 11s with extra mobs of lesser CR? Or, just rank up the CR 11, and add another one? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E (2014) Forcecage

    Thanks all, that was my alternate plan- to have her have a spectral scythe with the ability to destroy magical barriers as well as having the PCs make a percentage roll (50% chance) of removing all magical effects. This was my original plan. I was just looking for other alternatives Sent from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forcecage

    Gotcha... We were doing it wrong anyways.. They drew put a 10x10 and called it a cage... and were attacking the previous BBEG (Famine) and cast spells I to it. They should have drew out a 20x20 and called it a cage. So, I feel it will be a cage in the future. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    D&D 5E (2014) Forcecage

    So, the BBEG isn't a caster- She's the Death Horseman. It's a group of 9 PCs with 3 freakin' casters... 2 of which are Diviners. (Who get 3 freakin' rolls each to make the BBEG fail saves). I was hoping that a simple reaction, to use Gaseous Form as an ability, to at least have a chance to keep...

    I'm the DM, if I gave a boss a reaction to use Gaseous Form (as an ability), would that get him out of the Forcecage? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    Is it really easy? I use a couple guys on YouTube using Photoshop when making paper minis. They find a pic on the Web and cut out the background when they make a mini. (Beats having to find the perfect mini and having to paint it). I usually spend an hour erasing backgrounds for people's minis...

    D&D 5E (2014) Horseman: Famine

    Here are better pics of what I'm thinking about. Now, the Aura is the size of the platform, and Famine is on the platform and is unaffected by its tilting, (which is a Lair Action to 'Tip the Scales') There's really not alot of Exhaustion saves: *When you fail 3 saves for falling off the...

    Dave2008- The players locked down War with either a Hold Monster or a spell that caused her to be petrified. So every hit that was done was an auto crit. The DC was so high, that she had to roll a 20 (DC25). Thats why I'm making it a Lair Action to shake off magical effects so that doesnt...

    I'm actually making a round platform for them to fight on. I'm thinking of painting 4 sections of the 'pie'. 2 black and 2 white alternating. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
