If you make it a cantrip as you note, use when the caster is x level it does additional zombies with the same reaction, and just have it be as a normal zombie that you control for 1 minute. at higher levels say you can make 2-3. Don't add to the duration if it's a cantrip. If you call it 1st...

Interesting question that has come up in our new campaign. If a drow druid wants to overcome sunlight sensitivity. Will being in a wild shape form with different senses do it? I understand the limitations of being in wild shape but is it a good option in sunlight for a dark elf?

As a DM, I find that if a party is about 17th or higher and there's 4 or more of them usually, they can take on just about anything.

The higher you go, the more monsters use attacks that don't rely on weapon to hits. Spells auras, things with saves. I DM's an epic game where the big bad, a half dragon Hypereon made every save. The players failed every save and still one. Players are supposed to win usually. Just remember...

I agree, the ritual tag would fix it for me. I suppose that a player could create a version with the ritual tag if he wanted to spend the resources to do that. Thanks, I think that works nicely.

Your pact weapon in this instance is not a magic weapon. Improved pact weapon gives it +1. Then you get +2 from casting a spell Elemental weapon. The rub is that Elemental weapon specifies that the weapon that you touch becomes a magic weapon (for the spells duration). Therefore, as improved...

I've been playing with a human Hexblade. Backstory is that he was from a family that secretly adopted worship of the Dark Kami Fu Leng. When Fu Leng was destroyed his clerics died out but now his warlocks work to bring him back. Our hero was orphaned when the family failed Fu Leng and fell into...

i don't have a problem with flanking. If your game is showing it to be too powerful for your tastes, just have the enemy use it occasionally. easier to do with large groups. In 5E even weak enemies get much more dangerous when they are having advantage frequently, especially if they have a sneak...

So turn him into something big but not dangerous like a slow moving ooze or shark (in the desert) something less threatening than the fighter but with some HP.

I quite agree. Wizard has Wish at 9th level and it has a lot more versatility. Duplicate Plane Shift and zap the baddie to another plane. Cleric can use divine intervention and ask a god to intervene. A warlock has True Polymorph. Turn him into a sparrow and freeze him in a block of ice. Leave...

I've run several campaigns that reached high levels in the most recent three editions. In each case, by about 17th level when the highest level spells come into play, you can expect a party of 4 or more to handle just about anything. Don't worry about their part. Especially if Wish or Divine...

The Imprisonment spell seems to be only for flavor. Other than using it to become a lich or to make a fairly expensive trap, what practical uses does it have? For a 9th level spell especially for the Warlock who only gets one, it seems like a tactical waste compared to True Polymorph...

Just off the top of my head. Defiler or Preserver can be a bonus action cantrip. You get a metamagic effect when you use this bonus action. If you defile, you and nearby creatures gain levels of exhaustion from defiling a spell you cast. If you are the defiler, the exhaustion doesn't effect you...

In 1st level spells Magic missile is going to be reliable because it always hits unless it's actively trumped by something like shield. If you use shocking grasp, let your familiar deliver it. It's a cantrip so this can be your old standby for an attack. Invisibility is good protection for you...

Kensei is already restricted from using 2h and special properties weapons as Kensei weapons.

To make a weapon your pact weapon, you have to perform a ritual that makes it your pact weapon. There is no reason that I am aware of against doing this with a sentient weapon, but it doesn't mean that the sentient weapon has to do everything you want. A sentient weapon can sometimes possess you...

1. I agree. Mending or Make whole or the like. 50gp./hp. to repair as with other constructs. 2. This is why even though Animated weapon and Intelligent weapon aren't the same I went with the possession described in the DMG. If she does a warlock, no vocal and no material components because no...

So one of my Chaotic Wacky players wanted to do this. To play an animated weapon. Here's what I've got on the fly. You're a small construct. We use the standard array to create a character So I'm going on the idea that your soul was used to create the weapon and you have the racial mods of the...

I like that the Warlock is not just a different spell list. Having a different mechanic changes the style of play of course, but a different class should have a different style of play. In prior editions, players customized what they wanted with feats but those are few in 5E. The invocations are...

Characters in 5E by the book can create magic items if they are casters with the right skill, tools materials etc. and it may make a good use of that gold that some complain that there's not a good use for. If you're powerful enough to create a legendary item, you can make a tome and get 2...
