I want to know how to proceed on summoning and binding bad guys, elementals, all that. I am the DM, so I can do anything I suppose, but I was also a HUGE fan of spells like Cacodaemon form 1st edition and always loved that aspect of the game. Sadly, as it stands now in 5e I'm not sure how...

Good point about how the coins will be shaped different and weigh different, especially gold coins, but I think that it would work quite well gemstones though.

Lol, that is awesome. I think your right about how to play that. Low int high wis would describe someone who makes every possible mistake, but only makes it once.

Ok, so 9th level warlock, no Eldritch Blast, still good balance of offense, defense, and out of combat utility. Roger that! Taking basic human, +1 to all stats, using a 27 pt buy with max 15 on any score to start with gets me: STR 12, DEX 14, CON 14, INT 9, WIS 14, CHA 16. At 4th and 8th...

I think the key wordin the first part there is "If". You don't have to take any of that, it is merely an option. If you don't want to be a one trick pony, take something else. Warlocks do in fact have a certain design to them, and if the choices presented do not make you comfortable I think...

This sums up my feelings on the matter.

Damn, beat me to it :)

Well, for one thing one of those two class specific cantrips has not one, but two invocations aimed at improving it specifically. I'm sure if Sacred Flame had cleric only buffs that occured as you leveled we'd be having a thread about how to make a Cleric without Sacred Flame.

Is that really any different than a fighter swinging his sword or a ranger shooting his how over and over again? Giving casters a fallback spell outside of their traditional number of uses was intended as just that so they don't end up just trying to look for a place to hide when their normal...

Hey guys, so I'm putting together a dungeon crawl for my party, and before I did I was wondering if any of the creative types have any cool ideas. Party - Only 2 players in this one. Was a solo campaign for my brother, which I like because you can tailor the storyline in a more epic "You are...

Right on guys, thanks for the feedback.

So I'm unclear about Barkskin and if you get other bonuses to your AC with it. Says that you have a minimum of 16 AC with it, but do you get dex bonuses, ring of protection and such, or is 16 just a minimum? On the one hand, 16 base AC seems pretty powerful if you can add those other things...

I just want to take a moment to say regardless of your interpretation of the questions I asked AI203, I think that fight you described with your party v. Beholder sounds really effing cool. Kudos to your DM, or you if you're the DM :)

That right there made my decision. Imagining the absurdity of beholders fighting each other by rolling on the ground trying to bite the other to death, while an immensely amusing mental image, is not one I wish to make reality in my campaign. Thank you for the feedback, and our party wizard...

This seems like a good way to take out a beholder to me, as long as they can't fly out of it. Beholders seem to me to be a bit underconned at CR13, considering they have such a versatile array of spells at their disposal, can cast at least 4-6 per round, and have a solid DC of 16 to them...

More monsters, Mass Combat Rules, and generally just more campaign material. Pathfinder does a great job of turning out lots of really nice supplements for adventures and campaign areas and ideas. I'm very happy 5E hasn't gone nuts with books like 4E, but I'd like more campaign materials.

Just wasn't sure, seemed pretty damn awesome and I wanted to make sure I was reading that right. Also, it looks like 4 minutes before I posted this someone else posted the exact same question. Small world :)

I made an NPC 18th level wizard(abjurer) who has Shield as his 1st level spell he can cast at will, and MAN is that huge. His 2nd level is Misty Step. The combo is pretty sweet, and really makes me wish I could play him as a PC. Abjurationists are pretty badass, didn't really get all the...

So like a lot of tougher melee based creatures a Marilith can use a reaction to add some AC to deflect an incoming melee attack. But listed under their abilities is "Reactive - can use a reaction on each turn". Does that mean that she can use it on each turn someone else takes? Say she is...

So Mind Flayers have their basic tentacle attack, and when it hits you are grappled have to make a save. Failing it says you are "stunned until the grapple ends". If I'm reading that correctly, if you fail the save, unless there is someone there to help you out, you will remain stunned and...
