    D&D 5E (2014) Revising a few feats for balance in my home game - Thoughts?

    It does offer a benefit beyond just bonus damage, but the bonus damage is fun killing. I might still revise these, but I don't mind adding minor changes to get similar style of benefits. +10 damage is just too powerful. That is what it comes down to. I've seen dragons killed in a single round...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising a few feats for balance in my home game - Thoughts?

    I agree that Lucky should have been listed as a nerf, not as a boost. I think its just too good as written.

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising a few feats for balance in my home game - Thoughts?

    I'll be honest, I think it might need both. I want Martial Adept to be an option a non-fighter might take so that is why the attribute option. I think I will also make it two dice, because I don't see that putting it beyond other mid-high end feats.

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising a few feats for balance in my home game - Thoughts?

    You think it's too good compared to which other feat? Currently every class has whatever weapons they need for their class. In a game with multiclassing, it really is just saving you a 1 level dip to fighter or cleric (and you get less for it). I honestly was thinking it needs to be better. I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising a few feats for balance in my home game - Thoughts?

    2d6 becomes a 2d8, 1d12 would likely go to 1d12 + 1d4 is my thought, or just 2d8's also.

    D&D 5E (2014) Revising a few feats for balance in my home game - Thoughts?

    I am looking at a few of the feats that I see that stand out as exceptionally weak, or exceptionally strong and trying to pair them back to a more balanced baseline. I would very much like to get some feedback / ideas on these if there are other options you can think of or others I might be...

    Here's That Hi-Res Sword Coast Map

    I got the same print done, but where did you get the frame/backing for it? I would really like to get it laminated but, I can't find a machine big enough :)

    Yeah, basically, more exclamation points == EVEN MORE VERY BAD! :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Dealing with rogue solo burglaring in town

    I think I would just use something along these lines: PDF of the same thing: Quick and Dirty Thieving Tables It would be very easy to define out the Very Bad or the guards, but this leaves it more free form. Additionally, This could take whatever amount of time the DM thinks. I generally...

    D&D 5E (2014) What If?

    Just be aware that a +1 to hit is worth way more than +1/-1 damage.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Do Monks Survive At Low Levels?

    I am playing a 6th level Wood Elf Monk currently, and to be honest? I use a long bow 75% of the time.

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Deities

    I'm not sure why you were horrified, Lathandar was original Amaunator before he became Lathandar. There are entire novel series that talk about these events, but you are probably best going to the FR Wiki. http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

    D&D 5E (2014) How badly did Sword Coast Legends damage the brand?

    And it never stops being true. They go hand in hand that way. Anyone that watched a trailer or saw anything they ever released showing game play *clearly* knew it wasn't a 5e tabletop simulation. If you somehow saw a Diablo-esque action game and said "that looks like how we play D&D", and were...

    D&D 5E (2014) How badly did Sword Coast Legends damage the brand?

    Basically they released a D&D video game that wasn't a 100% translation of pen and paper and a lot of people nerd raged. It is more of a hybrid turn-based/real time video game adaptation that plays fairly well with a few quirks and additions that are being added/fixed.

    D&D 5E (2014) How badly did Sword Coast Legends damage the brand?

    All my friends that don't play D&D love Sword Coast Legends... they play it constantly. The people that play D&D all nerd rage over expectations that were never promised. That said, the most recent patch notes and upcoming changes, likely mitigate any complaints anyone could have about it.

    Tracking

    I think I really like the idea of returning synergy bonuses here... Trained in Nature: +2 when tracking outdoors in a natural environment Trained in Dungeoneering: +2 when tracking in caves and underground Trained in Streetwise: +2 when tracking in cities.

    D&D 4E 4E Sample Combat: The Terrasque

    I have run the game, grock the rules and have managed many combats now. I am saying, when you are running one and scanning for rules like critical misses, and the rules is surrounded by test on multiple sides saying "this isn't an actual rule" and then you additionally make the rule even worse...

    D&D 4E 4E Sample Combat: The Terrasque

    Why are you running this combat and trying to pass it off as anything if you don't even know the basic rules of the system yet? ~Edited out stuff ~ Cut out the insulting language please - Plane Sailing The fact that you are using "critical misses" and then house ruling extra rounds lost on...
