    Monk Attack sequences

    You don't need to spend a Ki point to make your unarmed Attack. Only if you want to use Flurry of Blows. The decision to bake it into the Attack action is unnecessary, as there is no Ki to manage. At Level 1 you get 2 attacks a round, effectively, which is (a) amazing and (b) ties to your real...

    D&D Beyond: Halflings

    I prefer to lose half-elves completely, and replace them with Halflings. Some of my reasoning is below. One: 'Halfling' is not a name for a people they would embrace, IMO. Seems pejorative. But it fits a hybrid race, much like Half Orc. Two: The children of elves and humans have 'Luck' because...

    D&D 5E (2014) BECMI 5E Modules All of It?

    I converted (read: frantic scribbles on the margins of) When A Star Falls (UK series) for 5e and it worked well, although typical of the UK modules it is full of Fiend Folio beasties such as gibberlings and so on, but a bit of googling got me to where I needed to be. Actually worked really...

    D&D 5E (2014) Resting and the frikkin' Elephant in the Room

    How about, if the PCs are mid-high level, you - as DM - decide that the random encounters are less monster based and more story/NPC based? How do they treat the diseased peddlar? What if its really a polymorphed wizard? Or a gold dragon? Have them encounter a crazed mystic who tells them...

    My lot called themselves Tyrant's Bane, having captured the Black Spider and killed Venomfang and then going on to kill Strahd. Since then they have had two PC deaths and been banned from Neverwinter for nearly dropping a floating island directly on top of the city and then getting gobby about...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls Twitter Poll: "The druid gets one of the following: Spellcasting | Shapeshifting | Animal companions. Choose."

    Having just watched Song of the Sea and been inspired to make a coastal circle druid, it is a shame that it's not possible to assume swimming forms at level 2. It would be nice to not only have circle spells but circle forms too. Would add flavour. Whereas a Moon druid can change into...

    D&D 5E (2014) Clerics vs Druids in an Animist Setting

    Clerics choose the spirit they follow; Warlocks are chosen by a particular spirit? Most likely a (Fey) trickster type, mischievous more than wicked. Coyote for example.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls Twitter Poll: "The druid gets one of the following: Spellcasting | Shapeshifting | Animal companions. Choose."

    Personally my favourite thing about D&D Druids though stems from AD&D where at high levels (Christopher Lambert terrible Scottish accent) "there can beee only waaan".
