    D&D 5E (2014) World Building: Commerce and gold

    right, I just want to prep at least a basic amount incase they do care. Clarks salary is interesting, because you are right we almost never hear about it. But Peter Parker is always broke living pay check to pay check unless he opens parker industries but I'm not counting that. Bruce wayne and...

    feel free, I would love the feed back even if it's the same since someone might come across this later and be there first look at it I like it, but I still want some consistency. maybe more so then reality first I love "papers and paychecks" as a supplement on D&D accounting. Second that is...

    World Building question 1 So I asked for general DM advise, because hello I am new to Dming. However I would like to start a series of specific posts asking about different parts of world building. This isn't a plus thread per say, but if you think I should not world build that is not very...

    D&D General So what is high level play like?

    oh I have seen absord ACs the armor artificer in full plate with def fighting style a ring a cloak and the armor being +2 was 23 before shield spell just not often is it a fighter. To be honest I dont see high level fighters often at all anyway.

    D&D General The Elemental cantrips mimicking powerful spells

    all of these are good but I want to add the very first thing I thought when I read shape water and have used and seen used since. Locked door or chest... pour/squirt water from waterskin, then freeze. When water freezes it expands. DO you know what happens to most (not all but most especially...

    D&D General So what is high level play like?

    how high of an AC are we talking on a fighter? I don't see many fighters but most are wearing +1 or +2 plate and that is AC 20 21 or 22 (depending on shield) it's normally the casters I see get high like I saw a warmage have a 19 but could cast shield for 24 or use the class feature for a 21. I...

    D&D General So what is high level play like?

    oh this sounds like a cool question. Is the DM there to give the players what they want, or is the DM there to do what they want and see how the players react? THe best 2 DMs I have ever met in meat space all said that the job of the DM is to make the players feel challenged and amazed, and...

    D&D General So what is high level play like?

    I have never played 1 through 20. I have played from 3 to 16 thought and once joined a 10+ level game that made it to level 19. I normally think of it as 3 "levels" of play pre fireball (levels 1-4) fireball but pre raise dead (levels 5-8) and high level (level 9+)

    D&D General The Elemental cantrips mimicking powerful spells

    I'm not sure they are powerful but useful. They are the type of open ended spells that can be used creatively to do way more then the basic idea of the spell. I love when someone at the table takes the open ended spells and totally pull off things that make the dm say "You do what now?"

    D&D General Where do New DMs Go for Help Online?

    I went to Redditt then came here. People here are nicer, but I am getting a lot of advise that is very counter to my (admittedly limited) experience as a player. However here I have gotten the most help. https://www.enworld.org/threads/help-with-new-dm.698265/

    I told two different DMs over the last few years they should write a novel. I have learned not all DMs take that as a compliment.

    yeah, no one of us normally knows it all. My experience is the DM has like a ton worked out and gives us just what we need to make characters, then we learn more as we go, including "Oh you would know this or that" from the DM from time to time

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with new DM

    I lot of people seem to dislike the way I was taught to play D&D. My first game the DM had a full binder of multi note books and folders that he had us go over for character creation. The current game I am in had about 10 pages of world lord that is now up to more then double that, and at...
