I think the first mistake that I see people making is assuming that just because a character doesn't have proficiency in a skill then it sucks at that skill. Proficiency is only a 10% to 20% difference for all but the most powerful adventurers. Just because someone doesn't have animal handling...

I once played a cleric that required tithes for healing. At first the other players weren't happy about it, then I explained that It wasn't a lot. I was only asking for like 3gp per spell level and you can pay after the battle if need be. It was such a minor amount that it was basically a...

Personally, I'd just make it automatic and get on with the fun. There's nothing that can kill the fun more for a player than sitting around not able to participate. My 2cp.

I think we have a Ben Kenobi point of view difference here. From my point of view it is based on the DnD 5.0 rules. It has many of the thematic and story elements of 5.0 as well as many of the abilities are there in name. The only place it differs is in the execution of the adventuring...

A rose by any other name...

As a player I am perfectly ok with cutting character themes. If you don't want any warlocks, or divine classes I understand, but if the DM is open to re-skinning a class and allowing the mechanics with different fluff it's a good middle ground. For example the above warlock as a re-skinned...

It sounds like this is sort of bringing your game to a halt or at least leaving this player sitting high and dry. I would just use his Divine Inspiration for a greater restoration and recover his int.

It looks like it's based on the 5e rules to me. I see many elements in the game. It's just not a 100% recreation. Based on doesn't mean re-printed, it just means that it is based on it. The 5e rules would not make a good multi-player game.

I'm having a lot of fun with the game. Demanding that it sticks 150% to the TTRPG rules is a bit unrealistic for a computer game. Especially a multi-player one. If it was a single player game it could stick closer to the book rules, ala the temple of elemental evil game. For a D&D computer...

My computer is about 5 years old and I haven't seen any issues with graphics. I play with about everything maxed out. Granted it was built as a gaming computer so it's not just a regular off the shelf PC. The camera works fine for me. You use WASD to scroll it around and if you want to...

I was going to suggest the Elenium by Eddings.

En5ider just released an article on undead templates that might help

I'd rather go with the option of allowing a warlock that has bound a specific weapon to support that weapon or keep that one in the void and summon up a generic magic weapon. The at way they can have thier special weapon and still have the option of the flexible utility weapon. There's an...

I think that the miscommunication is that Yunru is looking at a subset of the larger probability set. Both are correct for their particular sets.

I've used almost every method under the sun over the years and I can't really say that I have a preference. I like the idea of rolling and getting that awesome 18, but at the same time I like points or array to ensure that there isn't a super character in the group. I have been wanting to try...

First hunt down some stirges and take their hypo-noses. Attach them to arrows with vials on them and strings tied to the vials. You'll probably have disadvantage on the attack roll since they won't fly straight, but if you hit you should get at least half a vial per arrow.

I never would have guessed to look there. Guess I'm getting too old for these interweb dealies. Thank you Morrus.

Interesting. Thanks for that. I wonder if I'm the only one that sees me name in blue.

I look at it as HP and attack bonuses are plot interaction effects and that PCs are the few that are no longer bound by fate and the will of the gods. So Redgar the city guard may have had a +3 to hit and 20 hit points but that's only because that's what fate and the gods (the DM) want him to...

I'd make it something along the lines of: You can use this ability once, at the end of your turn roll a dX and on a Y+ you regain the use of this ability. I might use this for my Slayer conversion. Making power strike a recharge ability would allow it to be used once per encounter at a minimum...
