    D&D 5E (2014) Pixie's are pretty awesome

    Lol, seriously. I dislike them almost as much as actual nazis. Or is that Nazi's? :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Pixie's are pretty awesome

    Is that correct? Seems odd. The spell description just says that you summon some fey beings, but doesn't state that you do or don't have control over the selection, and I'd always assumed the caster did. Is there something concrete that defines this somewhere?

    Deck of many things

    Man, that is a great storyline. Kudos to you. Also, I have a big bad Necromancer in my world that is about to make an appearance, a Lich that keeps coming back every hundred years or so. I think I'm going to steal your idea of a Revenant bad guy who hates the world.

    Deck of many things

    Decks of Many Things are good for one thing, throwing a massive wildcard(literally) into your campaign. If you are going to give a deck to the players to use, be prepared for the consequences. Frankly unless you have a really good Dungeonmaster AND really good players I wouldn't use it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranged party member keeps running off the map

    Couldn't agree more with all of that. I bet you're a great DM.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pixie's are pretty awesome

    So I think Pixie's should have a higher than 1/4 CR rating. With Conjure Woodland beings, using a single 4th level spell you can summon 8 of them. Flying helpers with superior invisibility that can cast Detect Thoughts, Dispel Magic, Sleep, Confusion, Polymorph, Fly, Entangle, Phantasmal...

    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM, can I just say, Screw Paladins :)

    Those are all certainly options, but I really don't like specifically tailoring encounters just to screw with a class. What you said is what I'd do to challenge any party. My particular beef was with how Paladins really really shut down undead, especially vampires, but then again, that is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispute about Rings of Elemental Command

    I meant does Ring of Fire Elemental Command grant advantage on say an Efreeti or Salamander, or just specifically on "Fire Elementals".

    D&D 5E (2014) Campaign being throw out after a year

    I'd start by clarifying a few things. Which character murdered an innocent child? Is that the druid with the 1 INT now? And are either the murderer, the druid, or the paladin who doesn't like his character the same people as the two players that want the new campaign? Seems to me the 1...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispute about Rings of Elemental Command

    These rings say they grant advantage on attack rolls vs. elementals of that type. I wanted clarification on whether that meant any creature of the subtype "Elemental" or the actual specific creature Elemental of that type. Thanks.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sorcerer - No Spell List

    This is pretty similar to how I treat Sorcerers in my campaign. They are more like spellcasting mutants, they have a theme to their powers, like mind control, or summoning, or fire/ice magic. I let them choose from any caster list if it falls within their "Theme", and also to pick from the...

    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM, can I just say, Screw Paladins :)

    Funny you should say that, as my brother has just recently, since we played that adventure, started reading Dresden, and the comparison lept out at him as well. As far as the Death Knight goes, it's job was to protect the Heart of Fire, and the PC's rescued him from the Dao, so there is no...

    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM, can I just say, Screw Paladins :)

    Well the Death Knight wasn't a free roaming Death Knight. There were a bunch of Dao who captured this guy known as the "Heart of Fire". He was well protected by a contract with some powerful creatures. The Dao defeated those guardians with great loss, and imprisoned the Heart of Fire to a...

    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM, can I just say, Screw Paladins :)

    I actually love all the classes, and as DM it's up to me to forge the story to accommodate my players enjoyment of the game within the confines of the rules, and since I can do anything I want in a campaign world I don't feel like I'm handcuffed really in doing so. But that being said, screw...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Sorcerer Fix

    What I did is say that sorcerers are more like arcane mutants in my campaign world. They pick a theme, still have the sorcerer spell list, but from that theme they can pick from any classes spell list. I've used them mostly as NPC's as none of the players I've worked with really are into...

    D&D 5E (2014) Blade Pact Warlocks and Conventional Wisdom

    I DM a campaign for my brother, it was originally a solo campaign, and he plays a blade pact warlock, and he works just fine. He's pretty solid in melee, uses med armor and shield, and for STR got his hand on(in) some Gauntlets of Ogre Power. Just hit 14th, his roommate wanted in on the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about Necromancer's "Grim Harvest"

    Ok, so I was wondering if the creatures killed by the undead made by a Necromancer activate Grim Harvest. "Once per turn when you kill one or more creatures with a spell of first level or higher, you regain hit points..." I never thought about it before but it doesn't specify that it has to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Question about Paladin Improved Divine Smite

    Ok, so I'm sure this has been asked and answered a billion times, but I suck at finding old topics. Also, seems to be clear to me but had a dispute. Paladins get an additional D8 radiant damage at 11th, and at the end it says this damage also adds to the bonus damage when activating divine...

    D&D 5E (2014) We need more spells known

    Well, that's kinda my point. In fact, if you said you have a sorcerer(or two) in your campaign, and they were combat oriented, I could have told you they chose those spells, because they have to. Basically your description of what they do affirms what I said, not the other way around. If...
