    D&D 5E (2014) Working on a Wood Elf Fighter/Rogue archer, with a likely 15-level cap, looking for suggestions

    As far as the forums go, I'm pretty sure if you tag something as dungeons & dragons, aka the 5e tag, it gets cross linked in the 5e forum. I could be wrong though. As far as levels go, I'm a big fan of the champion, but loves me some crits. Critting with sneak attack is icing on the cake too...

    [UPDATED] WotC To Close Forums - Including D&D and M:tG (aka "Welcome New Forum Members to EN World!

    Sure if you feel like telling facebook and twitter everything about you and giving them access to your life. Some of us resist the mass monetization of our lives by these companies and don't want to use them. I want to be the customer, not the product. Now we have no connection to WotC at all.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mystara 5th Edition Fan Made Supplement

    Fair enough, and I'll freely admit that I'm not as familiar with the source material. But I am a fan of altering the fluff behind a class, which is all the pact is. What about saying that Sidhe taking the warlock class are actually just developing their natural powers and there is no pact...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mystara 5th Edition Fan Made Supplement

    It's odd that they couldn't be fey loc's though. All you would need to do is say they have been selected by Oberron to be one of his agents and imbued with special abilities. Also, the fiend and GOO pacts can be complete fluff as well. You could easily fluff both of them as different sects of...

    Knight (Fighter Subclass)

    Unwise - This class isn't a knightly type of knight. It's a mechanical port of the 4e knight class which was a heavy armor & shield defender that had a built in super sentinel feat due to 4e's mechanics. I tried doing a Slayer (the 4e heavy weapon damage dealing fighter) but it wasn't as...

    [UPDATED] WotC To Close Forums - Including D&D and M:tG (aka "Welcome New Forum Members to EN World!

    I hope they will open up the 5e section to include some sub forums. One thing I like about the WotC forums is that they have separate sub forums for players, DMS, general, etc. I'm actually really shocked by this. I don't do twitter or reddit, so WotC has pretty much just cut themselves off...

    Healing Cantrip

    I like this, but I would tweak it a little bit. I put my changes in bold above. I specified the living due to some other comments about healing zombies, although I don't think they have HD, but I'm AFB. I added the willing part so that this doesn't become an offensive thing by draining HD...

    D&D 5E (2014) dealing with PCs when players leave a game.

    No, not Black Leaf!! No, No! As for how our group handles it we are doing something fairly unique in my experience. We opened the campaign as prisoners in a mind flayer laboratory and learned that some funky magical liquid metal had been put into us. So now our characters can "randomly"...

    Healing Cantrip

    Do zombies have HD? Easy fix is make the target requirement a living creature.

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with Elf Archer build

    Don't discount the fighter (champion). Critting on a 19+ , 18+ at later levels, can do wonders for your damage. You get second wind for that added bit of toughness and action surge to rally dish out the damage with 6 attacks. Having a couple of extra feats is great too. You'll be able to max...

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do with DM issues?

    Possibly a mistake, possibly by design. My question would be was the fight fun and challenging? If the answer is yes then what are you worried about? As someone who is a bit OCD on the rules I can tell you that thinking that the DM is required to follow the MM stat blocks 100% without...

    Healing Cantrip

    grant 1d8 temp HP to any target at less than half HP? These temp HP fade after an hour. Usable after combat but you can't fire up the temps and then take a short rest on top of it. A little something to help you keep going. another idea: Rapid Healing - The target may spend HD as if they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Repercussions for spellbook that got wet?

    Don't forget all of your PCs spell components getting ruined every time they get wet. And Rations too, you do track rations that spoil and you PCs starve when they're out adventuring don't you? Please tell me you also make sure to have the warriors armor rust if he doesn't spend an hour oiling...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hex question

    I'm going to have to look at the wording for poison. It doesn't always depend on a failed save, it adds dice damage with the caveat of half damage on a save, and some poisons don't allow saves. I'm AFB, but I definitely want to look it up for the poison using rogue in my game.

    Are you a Good Witch?...

    Well since a male witch is a warlock, I would say that would be a good place to start. Perhaps make it a new pact and/or pact boon. Add some new invocations and you could cover a lot of witchy ground.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Just Kill Them": Balancing PC survival and Monster Intelligence

    I haven't read the adventure yet, but a couple ideas off the top of my head are: 1. They have to take them to the place to be killed. 2. They can't kill them, they have to take them to the person to be killed. 3. Alternatively they have to wait for the person that will kill them to get back. 4...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Another New Ranger Variant

    Why not take a page from the Warlock and give the Ranger 2 decision point? This would allow the most options. Level 1 (possibly level 2) choose between spell ranger, the spell less ranger, and this new super tough ranger. Level 3 Hunter, beastmaster, spirit animal, etc I believe that someone...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D fantasy & sci-fi

    Privateer Press' Iron Kingdom settings has steam powered golems, trains, and fire arms. E.N. World has the Zeitgeist setting which includes steam tech as far as I am aware. There was also the 3e setting of Dragonstar. It was full up DnD in space with futuristic technology from what I've heard.

    D&D 5E (2014) Just read Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf...

    I had an odd thought. What if Salvatore was under a contract that he had to keep going as long as the books are popular, but he's been done for a long time. He can't directly screw-up the book because editing will stop it, so he's purposefully slowly tanking the books and making his writing...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Undermountain Book for my 5e Waterdeep Campaign?

    If you can track it down the 2e box set Undermountain is probably the most comprehensive covering of Undermountain you can get.
