    D&D General One of my favorite challenges is party vs party!

    Funny part is, I never played 4e except once at a convention for Adventurer's League. It appears they too saw the merit in it.

    D&D General One of my favorite challenges is party vs party!

    One of my favorite ways to challenge my players is an NPC party vs their party. This tends to work no matter what level the party is, because as the DM, you decide when and how to implement the NPC party, and attempt to match the players' power. You make the characters around the same level...

    D&D General Need wheat. Too dangerous. (worldbuilding)

    There are several ways to combat this: The agricultural area is also walled in. Guards patrol the agricultural area with some towers around. If monsters are a looming threat, perhaps farmers are taught the basics of weapons combat with their tools. A powerful "witch" lives nearby, and she...

    D&D General A Goliath and a Dwarf have a baby, describe it!

    When I started doing 1/2 races back in 3.5, my method was you take the the stat bonuses from both races, add them together and divide by two, rounding down. Then, you take the better vision and the better speed of the two. You get the language of both parents. And finally you take the number of...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do Custom Backgrounds work?

    Yeah, their ability. So the player and the DM would need to work together to make a Custom Ability for the Custom Background?

    D&D 5E (2014) How do Custom Backgrounds work?

    This is the way I have assumed they work, first you come up with a Background idea, then you choose 2 Skills, and any combination of 2 from Tools or Languages. These additions must make sense for the Background. Then, each Background has its own unique Feat. So, you team up with the DM and make...

    Follow up question: Do Grapples do damage? So say for example a Monk deals 1d8 unarmed damage, does the Grapple do 1d8 damage as well?

    D&D 5E (2014) Let us "fix" Expertise!

    The "problem" with Expertise are a few things. It disrupts bounded accuracy (Should a DC be higher than 30, which is marked "near impossible?). It is only available to a select few (Bard; Rogue, well, that was true until Tasha's came out, assuming the DM uses Feats and allows the Tasha's book)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let us "fix" Expertise!

    As we know Expertise in 5th edition is double your Proficiency bonus. Normal Proficiency is from 2 to 6, while Expertise is from 4 to 12. Expertise messes with the Bounded Accuracy a bit, but, can always be adjusted if the DM is so inclined. But that is another subject. What are some ways to...
