    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Evil and Good cleric spell 5th level in use

    Why would you rule to teleport to a space above the dragon and not to directly stand on it? Would someone teleporting down the road need to land above the road or he just lands on the road with no chance of landing 1foot below and now is buried up to his knees? Maybe I can see it since it is...

    AD&D 2E First example of official max hp at first level?

    Likely not the first example of power creep in character creation.

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Space Navies, Part 1

    Couldn't one just strap a few ACME rockets to a passing meteoroid and steer it into a bothersome planet and make everything go the way of the dinosaurs? Unless you needed something on the planet like the OP stated.

    What makes a successful superhero game?

    I'm thinking of the Endgame movie where the spaceship is raining down missiles on everyone and they are all hiding and such, then Ms Marvel comes to just fly through the ship and take everything out. Begs the question of why she couldn't just fly through Thanos to end the whole problem. It was...

    US Tariffs: $80-$200 Surcharge On All Packages Regardless of Price

    Soooo, they are saying that AI cannot even figure out how to charge accordingly? I know it is government and nothing is easy, but still.

    D&D General D&D: Literally Don't Understand This

    Without context, nothing about the art says D&D to me. If it was talking about a section in Radiant Citadel, then I guess. Picture looks more like a Chinese-Lantern themed quinceañera to me though.

    Seeking Community Input: Map Making Tools That Actually Serve GMs

    I could use printed maps like the old 4e D&D Keep on the Shadowfell came with. Maybe not a full adventure, but a double-sided map with an encounter location on one side and another 1 or 2 locations on the other side. It would better it is came with an encounter for each location that adds to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Evil and Good cleric spell 5th level in use

    It never came back up in the final fight with the ghost dragon. It did try to possess the cleric and he made the save. Then it was able to take over the fighter with a 20 AC and cloak of displacement so that make things tougher. The players were all for taking out the fighter to remove the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Evil and Good cleric spell 5th level in use

    I have the final fight tonight with the ghost dragon in its lair. I'm not sure but likely will have an auto-hit on allies that become possessed, but a to-hit against other monsters that the ghost possesses. I think it is mostly to have the player that is possessed be able to do something in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dispel Evil and Good cleric spell 5th level in use

    I thought about just not letting it work on this ghost, but also I did not want to player to not try something which was a good idea on his part. There is a lot of spells that just bypass things though. some of this is that you are or are becoming one of the most powerful people in the region...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideas for Slight Level Adjustment?

    You should be fine to run as is. This is especially true if your players are more optimized than normal since most modules are set for a 'normal' party. Keep in mind that 5th level is a big bump in PC power with extra attacks and 3rd level spells and such. You can always fudge some monsters...

    D&D 5E (2024) Why doesn't the Tarrasque have Regen?

    I question why even having the thing in the first place. But is is supposed to be iconic, but so are several other monsters. Same with tradition or providing a challenge to high level PCs. I feel that regeneration is generally weak with the other powers out there. Give it a damage...

    D&D General The ph icon characters

    I do find it cool that the new book pays a throwback to the original.

    Gate Pass Gazette Issue #42 is ruining an owlbear's day!

    To be honest, I first thought it was a modern take on an elf woman.

    D&D General The ph icon characters

    I would hate to see what they would come up with to make an iconic party now-a-days. Then to see the same characters spread across all the books and art, no thank you.

    Common Pitfalls in Game Design

    I recall a time I tried to expand the Risk game and made about three times the number of countries and regions. I added new shortcuts from South America to Australia and other options. I think the board itself was almost a whole sheet of plywood. We tried to play it once when I was mostly...

    D&D General Players Decide when to Level Up

    There is the Adventure League (AL) route where everyone levels up after each adventure if you want to. The downside is that the adventures are capped for tiers and you cannot bring a 5th level PC to a level 1-4 game. This lets the players have a few PCs kicking around that they like and DM can...

    D&D General Your last adventure in photos.

    I really like that the cave top and tree come apart in the last set of pictures.
