That’s not entirely how I read the description, although I agree it’s not meant to be an immediate combat. ( she will try to pick them off). If our Druid is along, combat is far more likely. Her backstory has a hag connection that means she goes bezerk when encountering hags. It won’t be...

Thanks! Before they met Artus, they had a brief encounter (role play, no combat) with a group of Zhents looking for Artus. I could pull some of them in, perhaps in league with Xandala to tie up Artus (and Dragonbait for that matter) during the combat.

Later today my players will reach Mbala. Their characters are a mix of 4th and 5th level; they are currently accompanied by 3 NPCs: Musharib (CR1), Artus Cimber (CR 7), and Dragonbait (CR 5). In Mbala they will encounter a Green Hag (CR 3) and a Flesh Golem (CR 5) I'm concerned about this...

Not to mention the fact that they may not even need a subscription Matt is the only one who might need more than 6 character slots. I suppose they could benefit from one master tier sub to share content, but even there outside of Matt they don't need that much content to run their characters.

We are a DnD playing family, my (teen) son in particular. One week of our summer vacation will be spent in a location with very little that appeals to him, and not much more that appeals to me. (There are good reasons for this, and neither one of us are complaining; compromise is something...

Mostly published setting (Forgotten Realms). To be honest, I don't really think much about the setting beyond the given adventure. My time is limited, and world building doesn't personally appeal to me, at least not given the time restrictions I have. There is one (rather sporadically played)...

Immediately. In my case, though, it was because I'd been away from D&D for 30+ years and found the number of rules I needed to manage daunting. So I set aside encumbrance and reactions (including OAs). Then in our second family game, most of the characters ended up with/wanting animal...

That was running through my mind, too! Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

Well, Olung is the closest river to Hisari; depending on one's starting location, it might make sense to take it. In terms of the other question, have you tried asking in the Discussion section for the product on DMsGuild? The main author of the module appears to be responsive to questions there.

There's a very helpful thread on running Tomb of Annihilation here. If any of your players have been resurrected, you'll need to think about whether you want to use the curse as is or modify it. There are several other approaches provided in the thread linked above (and a nice index in the...

Cave of the Missing on DMs Guild might be a good starting point for you. Involves the ethereal plane, which comes close to another dimension. Sent from my iPad using EN World

I voted for Artificer, Alchemist, and Mystic. The rest felt to me like they could work with existing subclasses. (Although I'm interested in hearing more about how shaman is distinct; I skipped 2e, 3e, and 4e, so I have no point of reference in D&D terms for Shaman) I thought the UA artificer...

The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was the "Domesticate Owlbears" quest from Lords of Waterdeep. To think someone (two someones?) actually succeeded!

Think about how you will help them sort out the dice. In my experience, identifying the dice is a struggle for new and not so new players, and it can rattle players that they still don’t have it sorted out. If no one at the table is colorblind, maybe you could get dice that are color coded...

I use it as a DM. As mentioned above, it is great for creating pre-gens. I run an AL style game where drop ins are always a possibility, so I need to keep some pregen’s available. I use it for prep: I’m running TOA in an in person game. My DM in a play by post turned on content sharing, and...

With Drain Magic, I'm wondering about letting the target choose the spell slot. I would think they would always choose a 1st level slot unless they were out of those slots. I presume you thought it was too powerful/unfair if the sorderor got to choose the level. Maybe make the slot level...

I won't play in an evil campaign (i.e. where the characters are expected to be evil) A little mutually agreed upon romance, light innuendo is ok, but I'm not comfortable with role playing more detailed/explicit at the table, nor will I willingly participate in a table where role playing or...

Looks like you used the "random" setting on DDB: they are very clear that the random setting is COMPLETELY random. If by generator you mean "everything is completely automated and I don't make any choices (beyond race & class)", then the DDB character builder is not for you. If one is willing...

Ah, I missed that one! It doesn't create as much as the 3rd level create food and water, but it should be counted as having an effect. thanks! Sigh. Somehow I missed that entire section in my reading. :blush: Thanks for catching my error. Ah, I did read that but that last sentence didn't...

So i've been reading the chapter on the Fane of the Night Serpent, and I've run across two items in the first part of the chapter that confuse me: -There is a table for "Slave Labors" on p. 112, but no explanation of when to use it. We are told on that same page that if the characters are...
