The problem with that method is that you make the choice to use superiority dice "when you hit" in most cases which means after you know the result of the attack roll. I guess if you're saying die not expended on a miss then your method works just fine. I do it as written: roll attack roll. If...

It's one of the options for Imprisonment.

In my campaign dragonborn are typically born as normal human children to human parents and transform at adolescence. This traumatic experience marks the entire race as outsiders in human society. Some rare dragonborn females will mate with either a human or dragonborn male and give birth to a...

WotC has communicated. They said they are no longer working with Trapdoor on the e-tools. What more do they need to say? Until they have something substantive to say about a new partner or plan, it would be silly for them to say anything else.

Critical hits double all dice. 1. 4d6 2. 8d6

No we haven't. I need to know when and where your next 3 game sessions will occur to ensure we have proper monitoring in place. PM me please. Thanks.

Sandbox world. Primary setting (to this point) is Port Exeter which is a large island city à la Manhattan blended with Waterdeep and a heavy dose of Sanctuary from Thieves' World. Races: Human: Mastvani: roughly Eastern European with a strong Gypsy influence. Natives of the Port Exeter...

I my game the PCs recovered a magical greatsword that they didn't want. They traded it to a kobold warlord for raw adamantine ore, maps, and information to help them in their crusade against dwarf slavers (who are mining admantine). That was the first "+1" weapon I've handed out in a campaign...

Proficiency with instrument = good musical artist. Proficiency in perform = good actor or singer or comedian. Proficiency in both = front man for a badass metal band!

So, in the "good old days" of AD&D we had declared intentions before initiative, initiative rolls every round, and "simultaneous" action. I agree: that way lies madness. Has anyone out there come up with a happy medium between the madness and "stop action animation" of turn-based initiative?

I see no problem allowing the high initiative character taking her action when it's most advantageous. It makes no sense to penalize a character for being extra alert/ready/whatever. I want to see alternative initiative rules to get rid of cyclical rounds. I think that would help alleviate this...

Of course not, but they can crack the whip better than I can. :D

I asked my FLGS. They said that Gale Force 9 has not released to their distributor yet. I told them to hurry the hell up because I want my Paladin deck and I want to support FLGS.

I'm playing in Adventurer's League at my FLGS. Episode 1: one session, 2.5 hours Episode 2: one session, 3 hours Episode 3: two sessions, 5 hours Episode 4: we started this past week - 2.5 hour session - not sure how long it will take to finish

Wish granted! Here's my campaign's take on Stormbringer: Heartsbane Heartsbane is a magical greatsword +1 inhabited by a vengeful elemental spirit that demands a daily sacrifice of blood. A creature may spend 1 hour performing a ritual to attune to Heartsbane. During the ritual the elemental...

In order of preference: 1. Recruit more players. 2. Encourage the PCs to hire other adventurers to join them on their quests. 3. Ask one or more of the players to control more than one PC. 4. Run a DM-PC cleric.

The comma in this last sentence is throwing me off. Do you mean: No, the OP can't see, or that he's blind, and the rules will sneak attack him?

Psh! You must be a rookie DM. You TELL the players what game you're running. :D

I'm in similar boat to others here. No hit point healing for long rest. Regain half of hit dice. So far it has mattered only once which was not coincidentally the same game session in which the player of the cleric was absent. I've got a limited sample size, and the PCs are only 4th and 5th...

I'm playing most Wednesday nights at my FLGS in D&D Encounters (Hoard of the Dragon Queen). I'm running a new homebrew campaign in my home game on most Saturday nights; face-to-face with four players and one remote via Skype.
