My advice is timeless :)

The Life Cleric in Plate(or the best you can afford) with a Shield. Life clerics can do some amazing healing at low levels, and being healers they will draw enemy fire like few other members of the party. The other classic "tank" classes are tough as nails no doubt, but smart enemies are...

A long time ago a kingdom angered the gods who withdrew their protection completely. Orcus unleashed a "Walking Dead" wave of contagious zombies and the capital city/castle was literally taken into Orcus's realm and is ruled over by the Demon who brought about the corruption. The valley or...

And here I always thought INT as a dump stat added a nice touch of reality to our fantasy world :)

I thought so too, but Scrying also has a range of "Self" and I was wondering if Nondetection just makes divination magic slide around it in general. It's going to come up in my campaign soon I'm pretty sure and I'll have to make a ruling on it which will no doubt be argued if I don't have some...

Just wanted some clarification if an invisible creature also has Nondetection up and "can't be targeted by any divination magic" if this means that See Invisible doesn't work against it. This spelled out somewhere? If so I must have missed it.

The spell is outstanding in my opinion. I had a scary artifact I gave to the PC's, not knowing what else to do with it but knowing lots of people were looking for it party wizard used Sequester and Demi plane to hide it until they can figure more out. Those two combined I figured made it...

The problem exists with the ability to stack Glyphs endlessly, put a reasonable limit on that and you should be ok. The first time I read it and saw that there was no stated limit on how many you can use it jumped off the page. Find something of a compromise, I hate when DM's just reflexively...

One of the things I wanted to do that is really simple is scale bonus STR damage with size. It's kinda silly that a Gargantuan beast with a 30 STR does little more bonus damage than a 20 STR human sized thing. Add in a x2, x3, x4 multiplier for size and big things become very scary again...

Sorry, maybe I should clarify the question. In this campaign, I allow players to make magic items. You might not, I'm not trying to make judgements regarding how anyone else runs their campaigns, but this is a feature in my campaign. My magic using PC's are not just spectators in a...

I'm sure we're all familiar with the listed pricing and suggestions and this has probably been discussed at length, but I'm trying to find something that makes a bit more sense regarding making/purchasing/selling some one shot magic items. Namely, the prices listed for purchasing them seem to...

Personally, I've always thought that the idea the DM and not the player gets to pick the creatures is stupid. Why would I use a spell, a nice 3rd level no less, when I wasn't sure what the results would be? As a DM I've always been of the mind that the players already have a lot of limitations...

I haven't run OotA, and while I think the overall adventure is well done, almost as good as the Curse of Strahd, I didn't like the implication that under any circumstances a party of 15th level guys would be able to fight Demogorgon even if he is weakened. I mean, Demogorgon is THE demon in...

We had a 2nd or 3rd level party going into the city sewers, I played a dwarf Cleric. Turns out the bad guys were goblins that had done a decent job of fortifying themselves. After we breezed through the initial defenses there was a 10ft deep bit of water, a 10ft climb, to get past the 2nd...

The age old question, which came first? The Owlbear or the eggs?

1) The PC's spot something that is clearly a griffin nest, placed in a very difficult place to get to. A mighty but sheer rock in the middle of a raging river, or just a good ole fashioned cliffside. Suitable DC check and/or approach needed to climb up to it. Inside are 2 eggs, of great...

This more less sums it up. Was Conan boring? He had a sword. He hacked people to death with it. That was it. I think he had all of 12 lines in the entire first movie. None of that stopped him from being a legend and getting no small amount of us into this game in the first place. Funny...

You've convinced me. I'm making the Sorcerers caster ability CON. All fixed!

To the OP, I would say that trying to hold anyone that can actually teleport and use magic using "basic medieval obstacles" is going to be tough. Fact is, PC's are the badasses that a normal prison likely can't hold. Usually you're used to seeing them as NPC's in movies and shows and such...

Honestly the only thing I'd do to SS is impose an initiative penalty when doing head shots, -5 or -10 or something, to represent a little extra time taken to aim the shots, otherwise leave it alone. One of the key themes to 5E, and one I like a lot more than I thought I would, is keeping...
