    [LPF] From Whence None Return

    Deuce Traveler @kinem Come on guys, make your saves and checks please, so we can move this on and finish up. I am beginning to feel impatient for this to end.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do I one-shot?

    You could also take a look at something like this: The Mad Manor of Astabar It was one of the adventures created for the 5e playtest here at ENWorld. I've run it as an introductory adventure for my kids and they had lots of fun with it. You could possibly shorten it (reduce the number of skulls...

    [LPF] From Whence None Return

    Celestial Tigers were sent in ahead as bait, in case they might trigger something or help alert the rest of us to the immediate danger before we enter. They have the scent ability and will be hunting down any hidden presence/threat in the room, which hopefully indicates to us where to direct our...

    Ok, cool. Cheers for that guys. (Also thanks for the laugh MerryMortician . I'm not sure what was funny but cheers anyway :) ) Mowgli Would I be seriously hampering the group if I decided to retire Relic and roll a lvl 13 swashbuckler? (I actually made up a character just for fun who would not...

    General Discussion

    A question for our judges: I'm taking a look at the new hybrid classes, particularly the swashbuckler. It has a feature called 'swashbuckler's weapon training' which seems to be the nearly exact equivalent of the fighter's 'weapon training' feature. The only difference I can see is that the...

    [UPDATED] RAGE OF DEMONS! New D&D Storyline Features Drizzt, Underdark, & Demon Lords!

    If I expressed passion it is not really stemming from anything to do with Drzzt at all. I am anti-vitriol. I rarely ever post on these sections of the boards anymore because I dislike the toxicity with which many conversations (many of them initially very interesting ones) tend to descend...

    [UPDATED] RAGE OF DEMONS! New D&D Storyline Features Drizzt, Underdark, & Demon Lords!

    I probably went overboard with my hyperbole to make a point. And I am certain that my sweeping statement will have many cases where it is completely false. But my impression is what it is. I don't hang out with anyone who embodies the worst of any roleplayer tropes, and the only time I actually...

    [UPDATED] RAGE OF DEMONS! New D&D Storyline Features Drizzt, Underdark, & Demon Lords!

    So we all know what paragraphs are for, right people? Well, I would suggest those of you who are getting all worked up about Drzzt potentially overshadowing PCs inthe newadventure should re-read the 'full announcement' with a view that a paragraph contains a main idea which is elaborated with...

    [LPF] From Whence None Return

    "Hem, Maui is thinking someone is waiting for us behind te door of cloth. Where is te magic stick and te potions that te wizard gave us before we leave te Hall of Heroes?" Maui asks trying to peak through the curtain without entering or even touching it. Seeing VIncenzo knocking back potions he...

    [LPF] From Whence None Return

    Do we have time to do anything before we engage in the encounter or is it intiative as soon as the door is opened?

    D&D 5E (2014) Changing OA/disengage rules

    While you are at it why not add a 5ft step ... you could call it ... shift? And you could say that each creture has 1 OAtk per turn ... You are probably aware that these are 4e OAtk rules. They work just fine but keep in mind that that system has a whole lot of powers and tricks built into many...

    D&D 5E (2014) Limiting cantrips - advice needed

    I think the fact that you are not messing with the warlock (which simply wouldn't work anymore as a class if you limited EB), and the fact that you are just wanting to capture the flavour of your other 2e game by limiting cantrips as this is leading to unfun situations seems totally reasonable...

    Character Level Up Approvals

    Resubmitting Relic Nevyn Changed Dodge for pre requisite Spell Focus Conjuration to meet the feat requirements of later feats chosen. Added spells learnt in DWI (I think they are properly learnt tomorrow but I don't imagine I will be going anywhere before then so I think its best I make use of...

    Character Level Up Approvals

    Ok, that's great. Thanks, and yes I know what you mean about looking at something with new eyes. I don't know how I didn't realise that feat had a prerequisite. I will nix Dodge and replace with Spell Focus: Conjuration. I will check in here again when I have updated that on Relic's sheet.

    [Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

    "Well ...no. My first port of call was that comfy chair by the fire, stretch the legs, maybe take a wee snooze, and then continue with my studies. But now that our exciting conversation has my blood running hot, I fear I must skip the snooze in that beloved of all chairs, and get back to my...

    Character Level Up Approvals

    Hi Aura, Thanks for looking at Relic. SK pretty much always checked Relic's sheet. I was not even aware that augment summoning had a prerequesite. I am not sure if there was something else that Relic had that somehow got around this pre requisite... SK always seemed very thorough. This was...

    [Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

    In a private room "Well..." began Relic, as he pulled out a tome and thumped it on the table. Relic then gave a detailed lecture (with diagrams and drawings included) about the ins and outs of demonology that was interesting, informative but above all ... lengthy.

    [LPF] From Whence None Return

    Maui shielded his eyes and Taniwha ducked his head, flinching for a moment as dazzlingrainbows erupted around them. Thespell left both of them unaffected, but by the time they could see again properly the last metal snake had been thoroughly dismantled. "Where now Upoko Nui?" Maui called back to...

    [Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

    Relic sits down and listens to the comely paladin. "Your presumption is correct. Aradra has been thorough in his retelling. The forces of darkness sought to use the pride and arrogance that those of law and order are prone to fall upon to usurp and desecrate the Order. A lesson you might well...

    [Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

    The door opened and the wind set all of the bottles upon the shelves to dancing as a shabby old man enters the tavern. Even after he closes the door behind him the wind seems to dance inside the room for a few moments, tipping hats to the floor, flapping scarves and lifting capes and skirts with...
