I had a very similar situation arise in my game. One of the players was throwing coins into the shrine's fountain. The first time he did this I said that Tymora smiled upon him. I gave him 1 luck point for the day (from the Lucky feat). This has only happened once. Player still quite often makes...

In regard to the Circle of Dreaming, its obvious that the mechanical abilities simply don't match the idea that is put forth through the fluff description. In my mind a Druid Path that deals with the Feywild should accomplish the following things: 1. Give the druid access to additional...

I've always been of the opinion that bows should also use the Strength to determine the range rather than just one set arbitrary range of the bow. So for example range could be X ft + Y * (Strength Bonus)ft or something along those lines. Thought being that the further you can pull the bow...

Forge Domain Domain Spells - Don't like shield being on here. Other than that, good list. Bonus Proficiency - Sure, I guess. Seems appropriate enough. Although additional tool proficiency seems more appropriate. Maybe they figure you are a Dwarf or have the background to have proficiency in...

Absolutely agree. This should be moved to the Protection Domain in place of Compelled Duel.

In addition to the quote from Gimble there is one from another of the old 3E iconic characters that references two other of the iconic characters (forgot their names off hand). Also, in the Tabaxi write up, there is a quote in the beginning from Toblin Stonehill, proprietor of the Stonehill...

This is exactly how I would and am handling things. PURE ROLEPLAYING. Let's see.. 1) You have to find an animal. 2) You have to convince the animal to hang around you. (Maybe judicious use of Animal Friend). 3) You have to train the animal in the tasks you want it to perform. If won't know...

While reading through this thread that is similar to an idea I had. Basically give all the specialists at 2nd level, that they can cast a spell of the specialist school at one level higher for free, recharges on a long rest. But the problem of course would be that not all spells have an option...

Those are all some really good points, and your post got me to thinking that I really don't like the 2dX mechanic of the temp HP all that much, because with my luck, the group would be consitantly getting 2 to 4 temp HP. I really think this should work more like: Spend you Inspiration die and...

Do temp hit point from different sources stack, or do you only take the highest source? I can't remember and don't have access to books at the moment.... At any rate combined with Inspiring Leader feat as well, would be really cool. Or multi-class with the SCAG paladin that also give temp hp.

Truly, truly, truly outrageous??

These are all really good, I have almost no complaints (which is rare). Some minor quibbles: Path of the Ancestral Guardian Consult the Spirits - Neat ability, but the limitation of three times per long rest seems oddly arbitrary. Why not number of times per long rest equal to Proficiency...

I have a very similar set of rules that I have been wanting to try with the following changes. Whenever you are the subject of a critical hit, rather than taking double damage, you take normal damage and gain a level of exhaustion. I also did away with death saves so would not have that roll for...

Just sat here for a few minutes rolling d12s to get some hag names. That Hag Name chart is so damned delightful

My group has tried speed factor initiative and it didn't go over well. Too many questions about, "What if I change my action?", "What if I want to switch weapons.". And after awhile it just became a standard modifier to everyone's initiative as the modifiers weren't varied enough to make a...

That is a possibility. With the change I mentioned the Battle Master would basically be the "expert" in the Maneuvers/Superiority Dice, but it would still maintain all the other abilities that it has. Really this is more of an attempt to allow the Champion to "compete" with the Battle Master...

I'm of the opinion that the core Fighter should have access to Maneuvers and Superiority Dice, not just the Battle Master Archetype. I actually sat down and reworked the core Fighter progression a little bit, was easy to do. Basically give a couple of Superiority Dice and Maneuvers at second...

Here's what I did for my campaign. Really I simply let the players come up with their own backgrounds and that helped to define the location itself. Then I just played off what they did.... First let me note that three of the player's backgrounds actually tied into Thundertree. Two of them...

Why not just take a standard beholder, lower the average hit points and then remove some of the rays? Basically that would all represent the beholder having had one or more of its eye stalks sliced off. Another option could be to make the middle eye blind, possibly even punctured, so that it...

Ah I see. Interesting. Hadn't really thought about other classes as this was supposed to be a Ranger discussion. At any rate, the Scout would probably have to go through several changes as well because the Natural Explore trait gained at 3rd level mentions Favored Terrain.
