It's not a bad question to ask. I voted once a month and our sessions run a minimum of eight hours with more than that not unheard of. Finding a day that we're all free is difficult so when it happens we make the most of it. If we could meet twice as often... yeah, we'd probably play half as...

Hi, I'm a complete REDACTED player of the worst kind. I'm going to break your game if I want to. Want to restrict feats? Go ahead. Want to cut some of the classes? You do you boss. Going to go whole-hog and restrict alignments to good only? Sweet. I'm gonna break your game if I want to. End...

I'm confused, how does the DMs opinion on the subject matter a whit? Contrary to popular belief Dungeon Masters aren't gods. Players determine the actions of their characters, not the DM. Not ever. The player needs to weigh all the options based on the information the character has available...

I use the MPMB sheet, hands down the best I've found. The automation is great and the inclusion of UA material is the cherry on top. I was using the standard, I believe it's called the colorful version, one for a while, but I've recently come to like the cleaner look of the printer friendly...

No, at least not in my opinion. If a player or a DM has experience with acting or improv those are wonderful tools to be able to call on, but they are not required. If getting into an RPG like D&D creates an organic interest in acting or improv and a person seeks them out on their own after the...

That poll is a load of bollocks. As another poster already pointed out the monk has more than twice the number of votes than there were voters making it absolutely useless in gauging how few people want to play a monk. To the topic at hand, I voted mostly satisfied in every poll, but never had...

This topic has come up before, and yes, a character can counter a counterspell with their own counterspell even if they're already in the process of casting something else. No, the rules for bonus action spell casting don't come into it because no one is casting anything with their bonus...

Well, when in Rome... and because I'm bored... Tier 1: Preferred play choices Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard Tier 2: Will happily play See above. Tier 3: I suppose someone has to play it Has to play it? Surely you mean gets to...

This is an evil question. I've been my groups defacto DM for a long time now so actually getting to play as a player is something that hasn't happened in almost twenty years. That said, I'm coming up with character ideas all the time, almost like a way to keep my mind preoccupied when I've got...

I allow all UA material in my games. It's play-test material, essentially, and you can't test it if you don't play it. That said, my players don't keep an eye out for the UA articles like I do so they don't really ask, though I keep my eyes out for stuff I think they might like and point it out...

I wasn't responding to anyone's specific scenario. I'm responding to your statement, or question I suppose: "How does something with no combat value equate to power gaming?" The fact is that being able to take on an invulnerable form will always have combat value, doubly so when said form can be...

There are plenty of damaging concentration spells... or if you want something really flavorful, maddening hex from the more recent warlock UA deals damage with your bonus action. When will the warlock lose concentration on his spells? Quoth the raven "nevermore". Just because a warlock in...

For the record, if it weren't clear, my interpretation was that the ability does not grant invulnerability. That said, if anything, this discussion highlights that the ability needs some clarification before it gets put into print. If it gets put into print, which I hope it does. And as an...

Alright, so at first I couldn't believe my eyes. Do some people really think that a level six class ability makes the character invulnerable?!? Ridiculous. The clear intent of the ability is to let you turn into a raven at-will while retaining the darkvision and advantages to perception, and...

I find these currency threads interesting when they pop up, some folk put a lot of effort into their currency systems. It's pretty amazing in some instances and always cool to read about. But for my group it's all gold all the time. My players don't like tracking silver or copper and can't...

Probably did miss the point, I was skimming the forums on my phone when I made the post and really locked in on "Wizards can do this too" because, you know, they can't. As you aptly bring to light though, I missed the point.

I'm away from my books, but just a quick correction here if my memory serves: the evocation wizards "sculpt spells" ability doesn't actually work on any of the spells you listed. The wizards ability is applicable only to evocation spells while the sorcerers "careful spell" is any area of effect...

Fog Cloud. A 1st level spell that three of the four party members have access to. It's not a win condition against ranged attacks but it certainly helps and it's available right out of the gate. Two of the party members get darkness as a 2nd level spell as well. Things only get better from there...

Any party composition can work, it all comes down to how your players leverage the strengths of their characters while minimizing their weaknesses. This party may have to try talking their way out of things more often, potentially quite easily with a lore bard in the party, and maybe they need...
