    [UPDATED] WotC To Close Forums - Including D&D and M:tG (aka "Welcome New Forum Members to EN World!

    So I guess this is a "no" as to whether they'll ever get around to fixing my malfunctioning account there? Welp, time for thread-looting! I know there was a thread where we all collaborated to make a campaign setting, that I'd like to save...

    D&D 5E (2014) Grenadier Class?

    Oh, and if the grenade has a saving throw, change it to an Int-based spell save DC.

    D&D 5E (2014) Grenadier Class?

    I made a feat equivalent of the Alchemist Savant prestige class: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5efeats/showentry.php?e=69&catid=1 A lot of the single-use throwable items feel overpriced for what they do, so I improved them and added some extra ones: Alchemist's Fire (revised). This sticky...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Another New Ranger Variant

    Ooh, I like how the spirit companions are the same as the barbarian ones! Makes multiclassing have some cool flavor synergy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Literary Clones

    When I was really little and would make up pencil and paper adventures with my cousins and pretend it was D&D, one time I made a character that was literally Yoshi, but I haven't done that kind of thing in a regular D&D game.

    D&D 5E (2014) Was I the only one doing this wrong?

    I only just recently learned that ranged spell attacks do not add your Dexterity modifier to the roll. I've been doing this wrong for like a year, adding both my spellcasting ability AND Dex to my ranged spell attacks (and adding Strength to melee spell attacks). Did anyone else make this...

    [UPDATED] Out of the Abyss Reviews Have Started Rolling In

    Well, so far so good. One "this is really great" review and one "I hate the way this and every other 5e adventure path has been organised, but other than that this is really great" review. I'm ordering this now. But man, I have to aggree with the others that some less big, less expensive...

    D&D 5E (2014) Whimsy in your game?

    WAIT. Bit of a tangent, but I just got an amazing idea: Whimsy inspired by Fleischer-era cartoons. They have a sort of uncanny, dream-like quality to them that you rarely see nowadays that makes them so wonderfully eerie. I realize a lot of this is in the animation style, something hard for a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Whimsy in your game?

    Have many of those been done with 5th edition? I remember the DMG had some interesting advice for adjusting the tone of the game (i.e. messing with rest duration, using inspiration to encourage certain genre conventions). Did you try any of that out, and if so, how well did it work?

    D&D 5E (2014) Whimsy in your game?

    I think the whimsy works here because there's a legitimate reason for it. The Underdark is now the Wonderdark because demonic insanity has infused it. Craziness that results is not supposed to feel like it fits in; the whole point is that something is horrifyingly wrong here, and with the...

    Rage of Demons: "D&D On Hard Mode"

    Oh man, I forgot how excited I was about the Wonderdark adventure. I've never bought an adventure book before, but if this one turns out to live up to the hype, I might actually buy it. It sounds delightful.

    Spells Database is linked weirdly

    This has been bugging me for a while. It is impossible to go from the description of a spell to the main list of spells in one click. The Spells link is blacked out, and the Spells Database link takes me to an empty void. If I want to go back to the list of spells, I always have to first go to...

    New D&D Monthly Survey: Mystics & Psionics

    I playtested a 4th-level Awakened Mystic. Object Reading was probably the best-realized feature; unique and flavorful without being too strong. Mind Thrust is a nice start, but with so many stupid to average monsters hitting with it felt too easy. I'd rather it just be an Int save. Conquering...

    New Sage Advice: Class Features, Combat, Spells, & Monsters

    Oh sure, I just meant you get some modicum of control over what flavor of elemental is summoned, as opposed to conjure minor elementals, where it could be any element. I like the feel of turning a giant rock into a galeb duhr, or a bonfire into a fire snake. Though not being limited to what's...

    It depends on the number of players.

    D&D 5E (2014) How to Joust in D&D 5e

    Wait, I think you left out that comprehensive guide to lava! You're lucky I remembered it from another adventure, or I'd have no idea how to handle the interactions between lava and people.

    New Sage Advice: Class Features, Combat, Spells, & Monsters

    The bigger elemental spell, conjure elemental, allows you to choose. I always thought it odd that trait didn't carry through to conjure minor elementals. I mean, the article does say you can express a preference, but still.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is the wizards site so hard to navigate?

    I can tell you one thing: when they gave me a pop-up survey asking me to rate the quality of the site layout, I didn't hold back.

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    Whatever the fighter's flaws are, they don't appear to be significant enough to discourage many people from playing them. So it's prolly fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] What are your favorite things about 5e?

    As an aspiring game designer, I love how easy and fun it is to homebrew!
