    D&D 5E (2014) Can Dragonborn play a flute?

    A firebreathing dragonborn playing a flute might look really cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUG8Em_wMUw

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin Smite Damage Cap

    This is how I parse it. The sentence is describing the nature of the extra damage the whole time, so the maximum refers to the total extra damage, not just the total extra extra damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) Where do you get silver powder?

    I was noticing that the PHB states a divine spellcaster can make holy water by expending a spell slot and 25 gp-worth of powdered silver. I'm trying to understand why that would be useful. I mean, powdered silver sounds like it would be almost as hard to procure as holy water, and it costs just...

    Looks Like Goodman Games Has Another 5E Adventure!

    That's Saturday, June 20th for those wondering! Edit: I don't know how to read.

    D&D 5E (2014) What solution for blind character ?

    I think the lack of a tongue is the bigger problem. I'm not sure how you could overcome not being able to say the verbal components for spells other than multiclassing to sorcerer and taking the Subtle Spell option. OH! Wait! I think I just thought of something! Multiclass to warlock, then take...

    D&D 5E (2014) House Rules That Make The Game Better

    No, you still use Dex to modify initiative rolls like usual.

    D&D 5E (2014) House Rules That Make The Game Better

    Well, I should preface this by saying I've only done this for a three-character game, so I don't know how it works with a larger group. But I'm inclined to believe it won't be much different from my experience. The main thing is that it removes all the time wasted by players who weren't prepared...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Updated 2019] Fralex's Expanded Alchemy: Ingredient-foraging rules, extra items, and more

    Oh yeah, I was just talking with someone else about this problem. I'm thinking of making it so that any magical item also requires half its base price in supplementary alchemical reagents. You can buy these reagents in some towns, and you can find a small amount of them in addition to the...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Updated 2019] Fralex's Expanded Alchemy: Ingredient-foraging rules, extra items, and more

    UPDATE (2019): Oh jeez, tinypic done bit the dust and erased everything here! I've reuploaded the missing images just for the sake of archival purposes, but to be honest, this version of the system is super-outdated anyway. There is a new version now! Fralex's Expanded Alchemy v2.0. I was...

    D&D 5E (2014) A different way to roll stats for 5E

    Actually, there is a solution: use card draws instead of dice rolls! Make a deck of 24 cards, containing four cards of each number from one to six. Then "roll" 4d6 by drawing four cards, dropping the lowest, and adding them together. Do that five more times so you've gotten every die result...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate Warlock Flavour

    I love everything about this. I can also verify that programming is, in fact, magic.

    Galem Builder: An Alternative to Pathfinder's Summoner

    There are two kinds of golems: galems and guyems. Guyems like galems, and that's why we have golems!

    D&D 5E (2014) How to Adjudicate Actions in D&D 5e

    Pretty cool, is3rth! I'm kinda inspired to make a few illustrations to go with the story, if that's OK!

    April's D&D Feedback Survey Results

    Just filled out the survey. I made sure to tell them about the swashbuckler suggestions me and the others collaborated on back when it first came out.

    April's D&D Feedback Survey Results

    Hey, what if we just advanced our characters two levels at a time? Would that mess anything up? Now I'm curious...

    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for a DM who doesn't mind working with DnD noobs.

    Well torak190, I'm out of school now and just got an account on Roll20, a free video chat service that incorporates a bunch of RPG tools like digital character sheets and a board. When would you like to embark on your adventure?

    D&D 5E (2014) What do intelligent, fire elementals want?

    What if you do a Prometheus thing? He has taken a powerful secret and wants the rest of the world to have it. Or maybe reverse the story, and make the material plane have something powerful that he needs to steal and share with the elemental plane to start a revolution. Alternatively, he wants...

    D&D 5E (2014) Detect magic and Gargolye

    My general rule of thumb is: If putting it in an antimagic field wouldn't change or destroy it, it's not magical in the detect magic sense. It's just unnatural with respect to the real world. Like how dragons can breath fire. Nothing implies that the fire is magical (read: wouldn't work in an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Organized play character creation vs home campaign games.

    I've done one AL campaign before, and for the most part everyone was fine. One or two players were annoying, but I began to make friends with a couple that I liked so it evens out. For me the main difference is whether or not I can try out my latest homebrew experiments.
