    A "Convention" in my house

    I think this is a great way to go! And as a group we could all roleplay and discuss the shared stories before going back out and doing our respective tasks! Brilliant! I guess I better get to writing a good story....

    A "Convention" in my house

    Dear ENWorlders, I could sure use some advice! I play D&D with friends of many years...decades. We are older now with careers, spouses and kids. And as it is, life gives and takes away. I decided we would do something big and silly. We decided to have a multiday convention in my house. How...

    What is a druid?

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I recently wrote a thread about messing up characters. For me, it starts by veering off the vision. So going with the renegade elf in the swamp is important and should be front of mind. Second, I like the idea of a custom background. Bad reputation is a...

    What is a druid?

    Your point is well taken. I was thinking g about a giant wolf spider to sneak, spy and climb...what an unsettling vision that would be!

    What is a druid?

    For the first time, I find myself interested in playing a druid. I have mostly played warlocks in 5e with only one exception. Somewhere recently I thought it would be interesting to play a druid. full disclosure: I want to play a character that has a lot of creepy witch-like potential. I...

    Things your table should do, but doesn't do- The Fun v. Efficiency Thread

    We don't talk about roles. There is no preplanning a party. We hear "no evils" and scamper off to make something fun. All fighters? Get ready to stab. All wizards? Sleep em or die! We just play and we play what we feel like playing! No 'tank' 'healer' 'skill monkey' 'striker' etc. no...

    Wrecking characters

    It actually sounds like a fun challenge! I am having a mini con for friends in my basement this summer. It would be wild if we all did that!

    Wrecking characters

    It ends up....OK when I tinker. But you are right---if I so much as remind myself to stay on target---at each decisionnpoint, I will do fine. I think for me, it's less the feats and more the multiclassing that can miss the mark

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the Help action broken?

    The thread is so old I tried to laugh and give xp only to see I had done so years ago for the same posts! Yet I read it again like it was a new discussion! Funny. Just so happens I have been thinking g about it this again lately as I was thinking about a familiar for an arcana cleric..:

    Making a Formal Party Charter

    For evil characters, yes. When we were teenagers in high school we wanted the novelty of being villains but wanted to be able to actually have a party function for more than a session. Oh! The lazy days of youth and marathon DnD! (1st AD&D).

    Improving melee for a cleric

    I am about to venture into the realm of the cleric. As with warlocks, I greatly prefer melee focus. I understand other choices might be "better" from an optimization perspective but this is the class and the focus for me. i would like some suggestions about making a better melee focused...

    GWM without advantage

    Well I don't know if battlemaster is the class selected necessarily. But then are we saying this is the only fighter that should take it? I guess I am wondering where people say the line is for value. For me, it's horseshoes and hand grenades. I want the fun of an occasional intentional big...

    GWM without advantage

    So a question just came to mind as I began plans to play a cleric. specifically I have been debating a war cleric and an arcana cleric. Going against the advice of some, I planned to take GWM at some point. With the war cleric, channel divinity for. +10 seems a natural fit. Sure, it's limited...

    Classes and damage

    No, just curious. When someone says some character sucks at damage, I just wondered what that often means. I understand that if you cannot fly or teleport your extra damage won't change that fact. And frankly I have lived it. In the days of fighters with specialization (1e) the rogue...
