We use the Revised Ranger, but I tweaked and modified it quite a bit to be less crazy. I still need to make some changes to it, because the beastmaster companion has survivability issues; my player who loves Rangers and pet classes ended up retiring the character entirely after a while, because...

I am interested in these! Think you can dig them up?

You know, I actually agree that the fighter could use some stuff; not because its not possible for a player to use background stuff and whatnot to make themselves useful outside of combat, but because if a new player comes in with a fighter and doesn't use that stuff, they're kind of out of...

Meh. I see it as working fine; the only thing that might need a massage is the free interaction to draw a weapon, to make it easier for a dual-wielder to draw two weapons instead of just one. The feat does just that, but feats are optional, technically. Probably just add the ability to draw two...

My players have PTSD from me running that adventure... Its not originally what I had planned on running next; my original plan was, after this current campaign, start a new one in the southern half of the continent and have a full-on Kingdom building sandbox. However, every one of my players...

I've never once had an issue with two-weapon fighting, since the game came out. I don't understand why people don't like how it works...

I'm not even mad. My players begged me to run a pirate campaign, so this plays right into it.

RAW is that you can stow a weapon as a free interaction, or draw a weapon as a free interaction, but not both on the same turn (PHB, pg 190, Other Activities on Your Turn, and the Interacting with Objects Around You sidebar). That being said, however, there's no wording I can find that says...

I always do FGG adventures by taking certain things in the plot and making them Character Hooks! Unfortunately, this is usually my only complaint when it comes to FGG's stuff, and I really hope they fix it whenever they get around to doing a 5e version. The book does provide some stuff for...

If I had to give an overall ratio, I'd probably say 55 combat, 20 exploration, 25 social. But, it does vary session to session by quite a bit; some sessions are all combat, but some sessions there's no combat at all. I generally have a few sessions, like a dungeon crawl or similar thing, and...

Hm. Quite a few, but none really important to the overall campaign; they've left a few bad guys undisturbed (because they haven't figured out where they are and have more important things to do, they feel), and left a few things undone because they were in a megadungeon and didn't want to get...

I've only had to step in like that once, fortunately; the guy got so ticked off about it that he just quit before he even got to play a session. The players I have now know that's something to be avoided; in the case in question, it'd be like if you were playing a nordic warrior-priest, and he...

This is the correct answer. A corollary, however, is that I also will veto a character concept if it impugns upon another character's niche. For example, if there's a druid focused on nature, animals, and survival, I wouldn't allow another character to bring in a ranger focused on nature...

I am by no means an expert on Forgotten Realms; you'd be better off checking the Forgotten Realms wiki, Sword Coast Adventurers Guide, and/or Waterdeep: Dragon Heist for that. However, if I had to come up with a full identity, I'd probably use the This is My Life stuff from Xanathar's Guide to...

What scares me right now is that my players have zero inkling that they've done everything the true villain has predicted (this link is to a TvTropes, you've been warned), perfectly, and if they aren't careful, they'll be the ones to end the world after destroying several very innocent men, and...

I have a slightly modified table (the basis of which was stolen from the DMG) that I've been using for my players to sell magic items. The basic idea is that selling a magic item, any of them, is like trying to sell rare art. Its a seller's market. I've actually been considering using the rules...

I'm actually thrilled when my players bat above what I expected them to. That means I can dial it up a little bit more. My players have always had a tendency to hit above their weight, however. I'm just waiting for the time when their luck doesn't hold out. Oh, my soul.

Alright. I admit I'm intrigued. I love playing smart characters, and making it an interesting class without spellcasting is intriguing.

One of my players is considering exactly this, now.

......is this something that people wanted? I'm just kind of flabbergasted that they felt the need to put this out there. I mean, if you can use it, by all means! But it seems...unnecessary?
