F e a t u r e : D i s c o v e r y The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the...

The entrance to the lich lair is actually the entrance of a Mordenkainen Magnificent Mansion. Once inside, Lich casts higher lvl banishment on PCs with bad Charisma saves. Then he dimension door somewhere where the remaining PCs can't find him easily. After one minut he comes back, but now 2-3...

Why do ppl watch football on TV instead of playing it themselves? I guess it's the same reason. I'm 38, and a follower of Critical Role. I watch (well, listen to) CR every week, not only because it's enjoyable, but I also learned A LOT about DMing by following Matt.

I don't understand... is this just a collection of old adventures, updated to the 5e rules? That's... it? I'm a huge fanboy, really, DnD can do no wrong for me... but this is just... lazy? Maybe I got it wrong?

Nothing happens. It clearly mentions that for disaster to occur you need to place the bag into an extradimensional space created by an ITEM. Rope Trick is not an item. Magnificent Mansion is also not an item.

Maybe its just semantics, but I don't think that in Faerun you can say "I don't believe in the gods". The gods exist, and disbelieving that is foolish. That said, you can always say "I don't pray to the gods, nor do I respect them". For those familiar with Planescape, look at the Athar faction...

We ended ToD at lvl 15, and CoS at level 10. My own campaigns run for a year, which brings us more or less to level 15. Currently I'm DMing a Planescape campaign, and I'm planning to go at least to lvl 18, probably making that final stretch to lvl 20.

I'm currently DMing a Spelljammer campaign using 5e rules (http://spelljammer1.blogspot.be/) and I would also like to integrate Rogue Trader mechanics into it. Any chance you would share your notes?

Ruleswise, as many have stated before, it takes an action to activate a single rod, so I guess the problem is solved right there. In the rare case you manage to grapple someone with it (looks pretty situational to me), nothing stops the target to push the button again and free itself. But what...

I needed one for my next game, and couldn't find one on the interwebz. so I made my own. Astral Dreadnought Gargantuan fiend, chaotic neutral AC 20 (natural armor) Hit Points 20d20+200 (410) Speed Fly 180 ft. Str 30 (+10), Dex 7 (-2), Con 30 (+10) Int 5 (-3), Wis 14 (+2), Cha 18 (+4)...

I think the DM was just tired of the campaign. Apart from a TPK in Death House, we steam-rolled through the whole module. We met Strahd in the tower where the "heart" was. We had already destroyed the heart from a distance, while fending off some vampire spawns. Maybe the DM thought Strahd was...

Unfortunately, we only met him at the very last. He was vanquished in less than one round (only 4 out of 6 players got to act, then he was already dead...). Biggest disappointment of the whole adventure.

Why not just use "spell points"? If they understand hit points, they will be fine with spell points.
