In my Tiamat campaign I started everyone at level 3 and gave a bonus feat. All the players who created a human actually picked the standard human and not the variant. Heavy Armor Master, Sharpshooter, Inspiring Leader, two Magic Initiates, and one I can't remember. The only change i've made is...

<veering off-topic> We put a ring of sparkly pipe cleaner around the miniatures of actors known to be concentrating on spells, so there's an extra reminder to check Con.

As free-form as the 5e rules are, I think you can just reskin a juvenile gazebo as a wardrobe without too much modification.

Sounds like a job for the 9th-level Imprisonment spell, or you could always rule, as DM, that time froze in the Abyss for some reason, with all that magic and death flying around. Perhaps followers of theirs traveled to the Abyss to look for them, and finally found their prison and released...

All this innuendo is making Eric's grandma blush. :blush:

Much of what I like has already been stated, but I especially like the section on the gods because it's succinct yet still manages to give several useful hooks for each faith. Also, I continue to be impressed by 5e's artwork. The practical clothing and equipment most of the characters wear is...

In ~20 years of running FR campaigns, it's come up a few times, but mostly as a bogeyman to scare players. I'm fine with the concept, myself, though I'd probably say that some of the unclaimed souls on the Fugue Plain end up as larvae for the night hags, if they manage to steal them out from...

At first I thought the sequel to Keanu's John Wick was going to be a pretty big departure from the first movie.

My last couple of campaigns have been set around large, cosmopolitan areas (Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter) so I've felt no need to restrict races. If I were doing a tightly-themed campaign, though, I'd have no problem restricting races and I think that my players wouldn't have a problem with it...

Now I'm pondering an overlay for the JPG that adds hexes in one layer, and the smaller towns and ruins from the volo's guides and other older sources on another.

In hindsight, it's spooky how similar the base class abilities are to the Purple Dragon Knight in the SCAG.

The profane soul order is pretty close to my 4e avenger character concept (he multiclassed into wizard and was dabbling in arcane magic in an attempt to learn the magic of his enemies in order to fight them more effectively). I wonder how hard it would be to create a new order that is purely...

I added an Engineering skill for a slightly more steampunk game to cover exactly those sort of areas. It's important to make sure it can stand on its own and it doesn't devalue any other skills.

If you can get a hold of copies of Volo's Guides to the Sword Coast and Volo's Guide to the North, do so. They are full of scads of roleplaying hooks. They're technically 2e, but they're nearly edition-neutral. They detail the sort of small-time players and places that can be put in any time...

Thanks guys. I intend to put some more work in this weekend, doctorbadwolf: I'll have to think about how that would work. Maybe a stratagem that lets you convert an inspiring word use into a nice defensive buff of some kind? Maybe just an option to sub it out for such a benefit.

Is there a physical difference in the packaging of the new and old versions of the spell card decks? If I see some at my LGS I'd like to make sure I'm getting the new versions.

WotC lied! Characters died!

First of all, I don't think there's too many people dissatisfied with the hunter, other than the problem of Hunter's Mark's fragility. For the beastmaster, the sheer clunkiness of making the beast take your action is a dealbreaker for me (same reason I wasn't too fond of the 4e version). So...

Since it's unlikely there will be an official warlord class anytime soon (because reasons), I've been working on my own. It's an attempt to retain the flavor of the 4e class while being conscious of 5e balance, including limited in-combat healing and the expectation that the class be usable...

That class section is such a tease. Wish it listed the subclasses.
