    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss Advice Requested

    5, but If you check xp encounter, you'll see none of encounters in Blingenstone are above medium to lvl 5 player, and Blingdenstone is the "hardest" city. Really few parts of first half let you do the recommended 6-8 encounters day too, that's help a lot with the easy part. The 7th lvl...

    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss Advice Requested

    5th lvl was exaggeration. But at 7th you can get a +2 magic sword that gives desadvantage in half of enemies you'll encounter in underdark, and there is more itens and even blessing to all characters (that work like a stackable magic weapon), PCs can forget that last one for one legendary magic...

    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss Advice Requested

    You didn't get my point, I completly agree with you about prision, isn't to fight the drows, you need to run, and keep running about Underdark. But after 1/3 of advanture, 90% of encounter looks like was planned to lvl 3 players, and you're in 5 or 6 with powerul magic itens. The random...

    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss Advice Requested

    This is sad because is more true than it should. The same way break prison looks really hard for lvl 1 PCs, most encounters later with lvl 5+ are a piece of cake. If the group enjoy difficult encounters, Dm will need to change almost any encounter after 1/3 of the advanture.

    D&D 5E (2014) Save Your Campaign with the Tomb of Horror

    Yeah, I agree with the OP view with how to deal with ToH, now it's about "how many lives you need to complete", instead of "how far can you go before take hours or days to make another try". And in fact, most of deably hazards in ToH can be avoided with caution (you can't avoid all). But I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Save Your Campaign with the Tomb of Horror

    Yeah, I see your point. ToH is really unfair, but I think is what it propose too. Like many "choose wrong and die" from steve jackson's and ian livingstone game books. What you do later? Try again, with another option. Ghosts ‘n Goblins is really, really unfair, until you memorize any step and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Save Your Campaign with the Tomb of Horror

    Ghosts ‘n Goblins = one of hardest games ever, 80's game. Kirby's Epic Yarn = 7 years old finish, new stuff.

    D&D 5E (2014) Save Your Campaign with the Tomb of Horror

    I was readding the Dungeon #213 now, with the ToH for D&D Next, we will need to bring that back, because they'll not. 2 videogames, one I never finished and don't even want to try anymore. Other was the first videogame my niece concluded.

    D&D 5E (2014) Save Your Campaign with the Tomb of Horror

    yep, looks like everyone expect 5e ToH will be more like Kirby's Epic Yarn than Ghosts ‘n Goblins. Wouldn't be a great surprise if we're all wrong? If we're right, see you guys here to enhance 5e ToH to what it should be.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bonus action spell cast and readying to cast a spell

    Yes, I'm talking about that too: "If you want to wait to act in response to something, take the Ready action, which lets you take part of your turn later." - SA Compendium This spell is part of the same turn you casted the bonus action spell, so you can't cast a bonus action spell and ready...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bonus action spell cast and readying to cast a spell

    "Ready action" still part of the same turn (Oficial Sage Advice in Wizards website), so, no, you can't do that. Same thing with sneak attack for ready action, if you did with your bonus action in your turn, you can't do it again with ready action, because is the same turn.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Mass Combat

    Depends of the quantity of that creature in each unit. And many times an unit doesn't have just one creature type. What is good in this is you can emulate some units atributes with creature features, like siege monster, parry, falange formation, vulnerable to piercing, resistence to slashing...

    If max level were 8th, which Fighter would you choose?

    But you'll start at lvl 1 and go up to 8? You only get war magic at 7, so biggest part of the campaing you'll never have war magic. Battle master with polearm master and ripose will do 2 attacks since lvl 1 (human v) or 4 the rest. And more attacks using your reaction with ripose. Enviado...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Mass Combat

    I think most of us are thinkig too big. A 800BR unit is more to a legendary unit than uncommon. Normally, most part of units will be CR 1/8 to 1/2. So, most units don't reach BR100. Need to be some advantage of a BR 78 to a BR 76, make a +1 for each 50BR isn't a balanced option. The real problem...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can't Touch This (Eldritch Blast, Shilleilagh, Polearm Mastery, Sentinel Build)

    Well, quarterstafd isn't arcane focus RAW, isn't a "staff". But there is a lot of magical quarterstaffs that work as staff in DMG. This would be a problem with shillelagh too, you'll necer be able to get a magic weapon and use shillelagh on it. About the dissonant whissper + bb, you'll use...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Hex, and Short Rests: The Bag of Rats Problem

    Today I saw something worse than bag of rats. Imp can carry 45lbs, kobolds can have only 15lbs. Anything that imp carry is invisible and keep invisible while imp doesn't attack. Now we have a invisible flying kobold warlock (maybe with a bag of rats). Enviado de meu SM-G900MD usando Tapatalk

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana Mass Combat

    and if this was like I propose to convert unit to one single creature following the monster construction in DMG? 10 BR in 1 level of CR table (page 274), starting at 1/8 100 orcs are like 20 BR, or 1 creature of 1/2 (exactly 1 orc), just get orc stats 5 young red dragons 60 BR, 1 creature of a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock, Hex, and Short Rests: The Bag of Rats Problem

    Good, if you only care for mechanical part, you can short rest while concentrate, because the game was designed that way.
