I am really excited about a more organized story for the upcoming season. We run 2-3 tables twice a month at a local gaming store. We play for 4-5 hours, so if 2-hour adventures are available, we double them up. We had a lot of trouble running a coherent story for the Rage of Demons season. The...

Look at the map at the top of Page 104. There are some russet-coloured squares in the Goldwhisker Caverns (Areas 23-26). Happy gaming!

I don't think it will work that way. A shield, even if used as an improvised weapon, does not have the "light" weapon property. I would rule that it doesn't even work with the Dual Wielder feat, as a shield is not a "melee weapon" either. The only time that this is really useful is when you lose...

Only if the material component is 30 silver pieces.

I agree that playing in a game where your character can't contribute in the way you anticipated is not fun and something should probably be done to rectify the situation. I wouldn't put all of the responsibility on the DM for this though. One of the problems is that the OP designed a ninja-like...

You're right of course. You can still have the owl scout ahead (it's pretty stealthy itself) and watch through its eyes. An owl familiar also has many other uses for a stealth-oriented character. But really I think the best thing you can do is go back to the nearby city and see if your...

1. Take Magic Initiate as your 8th level feat. 2. Select wizard as your spell casting class and select Find Familiar as your 1st level spell. 3. Get a familiar with darkvision (owl) or blindsight (bat). 4. Perch your familiar on your shoulder and use your action to see through its eyes. Problem...

The basic rules for wilderness exploration. The Player's Handbook (p. 183) refers to rules in the DMG for navigating through the wilderness, tracking creatures, and foraging. These should probably also be in the basic rules. Happy gaming!

I find that taking one level of Wizard works really well for my arcane trickster character. My arcane trickster doesn't use spells directly for combat--he's still got the full set of rogue's abilities for that. Instead, he uses spells to supplement his exploration and thieving activities...

I have a few questions about orogs and orgrillons. Are orogs just tougher orcs or are they the result of a male orc breeding with a female ogre? Are ogrillons simply orc-ogre cross-breeds or are they specifically the results of a female orc and male ogre breeding?

Thank you very much! This answers so many questions I had. Happy gaming!

Thanks a lot! My 'friend' appreciates it. I'm hoping that the regional effects will be more help spur adventure ideas. I'm toying with the idea of having a unicorn in a wilderness sandbox adventure environment. If the characters can befriend it/help it out they may have a source of emergency...

What can you tell me about unicorns? Asking for a friend.

Here's a few ideas: - Every time you spend a hit die to heal, make a Con save or progress on the exhaustion track. The save DC could increase with the number of hit dice spent. - Every time you fail a death save, progress on the exhaustion track. Both of these are fairly simple to implement...

I'm not a cryptobiologist, but I'll chime in. - About a ton. - A 10 ft. cube. Enlarge/reduce lasts a minute as a second level spell, but I would let it last longer if cast as a ritual on an object (maybe using up a fourth or fifth level slot). Happy gaming!

What I like to do is have everybody roll stats but then let the players choose their stats from any of the rolls. That way you still get the random flavour of rolled stats but no one player has much worse or much better stats. This does result in slightly higher average stats when using 4d6...

Depends on who you play with. There's plenty of rules for fumbles in D&D, just none in Basic. Happy gaming!

I agree as well. It's fairly simple to apply, even without using miniatures. I suspect this is why the ranged fighter received a +2 to hit--it counteracts the fact that she'll be firing at foes behind cover fairly frequently. Happy gaming!

Double post.

Thanks for posting your simulations. I am interested to see if you get the same results I did when you run your simulation with one standing back and using its bow. I found it was hard to keep the melee hobgoblin alive long enough to reliably give the hobgoblin archers Martial Advantage. I ran...
