    D&D 5E (2014) How would you handle raising dead on a PC that didn't believe in the gods?

    Well, seeing as how the player is ok with the situation I'm not sure what the problem is. Do YOU want him raised for some reason? And whether or not the raise dead works really seems to be a matter for the Gods. Perhaps the god wishes to bring the character back and make him face the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Twist. Just DM enjoyment or OK for Players?

    Well, it sounds like you're already a bit into the campaign but as mentioned, the quest giver turned bad guy is likely to be figured out pretty quick. I'd keep him as a Vampire Lord, but make him not evil. Or at least, not insane murder everyone "just cuz" evil. Make the twist that he's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Phase Spiders and Surprise

    Yes, they can be surprised automatically. Also, what a terrifying concept. A giant spider is bad enough, but one that appears out of nowhere, grapples it's god awful alien limbs around you and drags you off to the ethereal beyond the reach of your teammates? /shudder You're either a mean...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sword Coast Legends: After the fall.

    I really enjoyed the Sword Coast Legends game. But then again, I'm not a hardcore gamer so maybe I'm not the market they need to reach. But basically, if it's even remotely true to DND and has a decent storyline where I get to level wizards and paladins or whatever, I'm probably going to buy it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about Shield Proficiency, because I'm dumb :)

    I meant what if you have a class that doesn't use shields normally, like a warlock, but would like to. Is it it's own feat?

    D&D 5E (2014) Thinking on Horror

    First off I would like to say that this is a great topic, and touches on a larger topic and issue that all DM's have when trying to make a real roleplaying experience which is "How do I get my bloodthirsty murder hobos to have their characters RP actual human responses to threats instead of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about Shield Proficiency, because I'm dumb :)

    Ok, so if you pick a class that doesn't have Shield Proficiency but wants it, how do you get it? For some reason I thought they were tied to Med Armor Prof, but when I tried to find it in the PHB I couldn't. I'm sure it's right in front of my face and I'm just missing it, but if someone can...

    D&D 5E (2014) Invisible murderhobos

    Those same arcane casters can also cast See Invis, which isn't concentration to avoid them stumbling over each other.

    D&D 5E (2014) Your Most *Fun* D&D 5e Character

    My most fun character was a gnome bard I made to piss off one of my friends. He's always hated bards, always hated gnomes, at least as PC's. So I made Fancy the Bard(shout out to Fancy the Bard of EverQuest fame). He not only irritated my friend, but proved way more fun to play than I ever...

    D&D 5E (2014) Invisible murderhobos

    A great problem to have, and good to see your characters taking the world by the horns and trying to make some changes. If you're worried about assassinations of your evil NPC's I'd advise you to take a look at the real world, because evil bad guys, and also nice good guys, have been having to...

    An endless stream of random encounters

    Some friends and I made up a whole list of random encounters we wanted to turn into adventure cards back in 3.5 days, but we never could find a good artist to work with. Here are a few of them, apologies for any lingering 3.5ness in them I may have failed to scrub...

    D&D 5E (2014) Post a character, get a Pic.

    First off, VERY cool of you to do this. Now onto the good stuff. My brother plays a 13th level male human warlock, Infernal Patron, pact blade. Wears Mithril half plate, shield, has a longsword, gauntlets of Ogre Power, and his most of his spells selections are geared toward sneaking...

    So I want some advice on how to do what i want.

    I'll give you the advice I've given to several others and that is YOU ARE THE DM! Wave your magic wand and raise mountains, empty oceans, turn the sky green, slay gods and birth new ones to change the world! As long as your players are ok with it, of course :) Having fun is the most...

    D&D 5E (2014) I need your imagination - Rise of Tiamat spoilers

    Sorry, could you clarify a bit what it is exactly your asking for help on? I am not familiar with the adventure but I'd be down to offer some plot advice, but it sounds like you are trying to figure out boons to provide that work with their story lines, right? Technically speaking you don't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Summoning and Binding Demons in 5E

    Thanks for the responses folks. And the Unearthed Arcana link. So yea, I wasn't going to count Planar Ally because it wasn't for use with a cleric, nor the listed spells pumped up to 9th because then we're just using Gate, which doesn't have a CR limit as far as I can tell. I think I like...
