    D&D 5E (2014) Can Moonbeam out-right destroy a vampire?

    I'm not sure how I would judge it either, but it might be a moot point. The vampire still gets legendary actions in mist form. Unless you could find some way to reduce a misty vampire's speed to 0, it could just keep moving out of the moonlight before the spell had a chance to take effect.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can Moonbeam out-right destroy a vampire?

    Mhm! The vampire also specifically has to fail a save against the spell before their shape shifting will be restricted, so their Legendary Resistance trait will help to make sure that doesn't happen.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can Moonbeam out-right destroy a vampire?

    I wanted to double-check a ruling with you all. I'm prepping a vampire boss fight, and one of my player is a druid who is very fond of moonbeam. So, I'm looking it over. If a vampire gets dropped to 0 hit points after failing their saving throw against moonbeam, but before leaving the light of...

    D&D 5E (2014) AngryGM: Tweaking the core of D&D 5e

    My experience is that Angry usually has something worth reading in his articles, but he buries it under paragraphs and paragraphs of dense verbiage and brand posturing. The trick is to just skim for meaning. Or simply skip the first six paragraphs of any of his posts and start reading from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving Ranger Expertise

    That's...exactly what the Ranger already has, but worse. They traded the Expertise away in exchange for those bullet points always working, instead of only working in chosen terrains. The expertise is the workhorse of that class feature, not the travel benefits. Also, since the Revised Ranger...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving Ranger Expertise

    Alright, that's fair. If you don't mind explaining how it gets that out of combat utility back, I'd love to hear it, because i just glanced back over the playtest PDF and i still don't see it. But the revised ranger certainly doesn't have any features that double your proficiency bonus, which...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving Ranger Expertise

    I mean? Situational is one way to put it, i guess. I see it as a class feature that can cover more skills than the rogue's and bard's Expertise class features, and it covers every skill you'd want expertise in to get that Expert Woodsman feel. The fact that this feature is missing from the...

    Rangers already have expertise. Check the Natural Explorer class feature. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Storm King's Thunder"

    You could have the youngest sister rush into the room after the fighting breaks out but before anyone dies and order the giants to stand down.

    List of existing teleportation circles in FR cities?

    Oh gosh. Typo, kind of. My group and I have been calling it that since I've expanded the focus on the court drama between Hekaton's daughters for our table. I guess it's become second nature. But yeah, no tie in novel. i meant Storm King's Thunder.

    List of existing teleportation circles in FR cities?

    Oh no! Well, hmm. The Adventurer's League meta-narrative has established that the Five Factions are more or less working together to face the threats you see in the modules and hardbacks, so, i think it's plausible for your character to have learned the sigil sequences of two of the circles from...

    List of existing teleportation circles in FR cities?

    Without spoiling too much, the Storm King's Daughters hardback establishes that there are permanent teleportation circles in Waterdeep, Neverwinter, Mirabar, Everlund, Yartar, and Loudwater that are associated with the Harpers.

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Marriage and cerimonies.

    I haven't had the chance to DM an in-character wedding before, but i've definitely had characters whose stories included romantic relationships or romance arcs. In most cases they were background facts, or PC-NPC relationships, but in my current Storm King's Daughters campaign two of the PC's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Post a character, get a Pic.

    Vivacity Cornerstone. Tiefling paladin. She is every farm girl's dream of a knight in shining armor. Long curly hair, a long sword, and a lyre. Not quite the tall and strong build you'd expect of a paladin, but all of the heart and then some. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone played a cleric/wizard or similar multiclass?

    Even split diviner / knowledge cleric here (currently wizard 4/cleric 5) here. It is a LOT of fun, you trade the flashy higher level stuff for pretty much always having exactly the right lower level spells for the job. You upcast a lot. She usually falls into a buff/debuff role with an...

    Faction Mentors

    High level characters who made heavy use of DM reward XP would still be relatively low ranked members of their factions. I could see a same-tier mentor-apprentice relationships arising if a DM used her banked rewards to create and play the apprentice of one of her players' Rank 4 characters...

    What is the status of Cormyr in 5e?

    Verisimilitude. Forgive my directness, but have you actually read Erin Evans' series? Out of any of the Realms' novelists, she gives the most time and attention to detailed depictions of conversation and locations. She does this consistently throughout her novels, and they give you an amazing...

    What is the status of Cormyr in 5e?

    The principle characters in Erin Evans' series are two teenaged girls and their adoptive father. Why is young women having a feel-good fantasy adventure book written with them in mind something worthy of your scorn and derision?

    What is the status of Cormyr in 5e?

    i mean, yes. But your tone seems to suggest disapproval or dismissal. I'm not sure why that's a bad thing?

    What is the status of Cormyr in 5e?

    The problem with this approach is that 4th edition covered about a hundred years or so, and the event that reverted everything back for 5th edition happened about maybe five to ten years prior to when the 5th edition AL modules and hardback campaigns are currently set. So, from the perspective...
