Question in the title. If Beguiling Influence granted advantage on Deception & Persuasion checks instead of proficiency, would that be: a good fix for a weak invocation? verging on dangerously effective? flat-out brokenly overpowered? Mathematically, advantage + 5 cha + 4 proficiency lets...

Obviously any sane DM should smack these players in the head with an empty soda can, but this should work by RAW, specifically: [the person being guided] "can roll the die before or after making the ability check." After defeating the bad guys, the party is confronted by a dangerous trapped...

Codex Advocare is a warlock item from Ravenloft. The relevant text: Description: The book is bound in red leather. The title is stamped in silver foil in Infernal on the cover, and the interior is scribed with the descriptions for all manner of invocations, also written in Infernal. Activation...

Good news! You have that option in 5E! (Also 4E, 3E, etc) Good news! You have that option in 5E! (Also 4E, 3E, etc) QFT about 5E. (Also 4E, 3E, etc) Even back in the caveman days, when I was a teenager playing Basic & 1E, it was immediately obvious that IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY AN RPG RULE...

The problem with suggestions about licensing or compromise is that WotC does not WANT useful resources for 3.x players. They want people to stop playing 3E (or PF, or OSRIC, or even 4E) and rejoin their party in 5E.

As Ben says, search by zip code doesn't work. Also, search by city only works for some cities, possibly based on size. For example: Harrisburg works but Erie doesn't. Palo Alto works but San Mateo doesn't. Kansas City works but Kansas City doesn't.

Hilde, afraid you're hundreds of miles away. But for the record, my group has played a cornucopia of systems: 3e 4e 5e, Fate, SR, etc.

...once again, seeking a player or two.

I'm preparing a game world, and I have a decent handle on the big picture stuff, but not so much on secondary details. I'd like to populate the background with a bunch of fleshed-out NPCs: names, relationships, personalities, quirks, and (ideally) secrets. For example, local residents &...

We recently lost multiple members to new baby, grad school, et al, and need to rebuild the ranks before starting our next quest. Usually play on weekday evenings. Open to humanoids of all game preferences. Update: all set for now, met more players on penandpapergames.com

According to google searches, there's impressively clear consensus about the new 4E Themes. Most of them are decent, although the encounter powers constitute a significant across-the-board power increase. However, everyone agrees Order Adept is too powerful while Animal Master is too weak. So...

The design philosophy in HotFL/K is easily summed up: make the classes more like they were in previous editions. This means wizards have massive spellbooks, clerics have domains, druids have A Thousand Faces, and martial classes say "I attack". (FWIW, as a 0E dino I prefer the philosophy of...

From a simulationist point of view, healing surges are clearly a kluge to make the game flow more smoothly. However, complaining your PCs can level too quickly sounds like a campaign design problem, not a rule system problem. Don't just have your monsters standing there in a nice neat line...

Fabulous moment in a game session recently: Our warlord, who had been knocked prone by the BBEG solo, used Direct the Strike, Inspiring Word & another utility ... in other words, a full turn of useful actions by calling out instructions while lying on his back. To celebrate this achievement...

From a few months ago: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/302022-list-d-d-4th-edition-spells-harry-potter.html Note the two big lists of yet-to-be-matched spells.

I completely do not understand these defenses of the existing rule. The 1 square loophole was a lazy editing error that should never have been allowed to see print. I houserule charge to allow 1 square lunges, which do not gain the attack bonus or other benefits of charging.

My preferred idea: house rule modification. YMMV. See also: Why My Favourite D&D Class Sucks ~ Rule of the Dice

The "easy mode" fighter is the Slayer. Aura defenders may have simpler mechanics than most marking defenders, but their tactical usage is non-trivial, and importantly different. Weaponmaster has more in common tactically with any of the other marking defenders than with a Knight. It sounds...
