Hey Enworld peeps, my players got themselves into a sticky situation and like a Mindflayer I'd like to pick some of your brains for ideas. My players went to Nangalore to retrieve the black orchid for the bird dance ritual thing that will let them fly. One of the characters, an Indiana Jones...

I feel WoTC have done a good job keeping people interested in 5E. They haven't been afraid to give us free stuff in the form of Unearthed Arcana, and the stuff they make us pay for has been good quality (except the pre-painted minis, those are mostly garbage). Heck, there's even Dungeon Masters...

Some of this stuff may have already been discussed, but here's some of the things I've done in my ToA campaign to make it more friendly to my table. 1. I've nerfed the whole idea that the adventure is a "time bomb" style adventure. I wanted the players to not feel pressured into getting to...

Weirdly enough, what to add after an attack roll. It boggles my mind how often I've had to remind a player what their attack and damage bonus is.

Goliath Barbarian. The Stones Endurance power is just the best.

I can't wrap my mind around how this is an issue. I get the idea of having too many abilities to keep track of becoming annoying, but not wanting ANY (especially as a fighter) is kinda crazy.

I am currently playing a monk and can consistently keep up with the fighter specifically because of the amount of attacks I get. Don't be afraid to spend the Ki points because they come back after a short rest.

I think I'm going to do most if not all downtime activities via text or email. If the there's a skill check required I'll handle it and give them the outcome. And to help things be a little more structured, I'm going to limit the amount of stuff the PC's can do to three things. I'm hoping this...

Hey folks, My regular Friday night games involve 7 players, and as such things can easily bog down. Now to be clear, it isn't combat that bogs down. I've got tried, tested and true methods of keeping things entertaining enough during combat for a group of 5+ that it doesn't become too much of a...

If the chief is dead, make the rest of the kobolds flee. The civilians run off to try and find a new home and the warriors flee to the Orc's, hoping to find a stronger chief. You said it yourself: The group is tired of kobolds. So why are you continuing on with Kobolds? Time to move on to...

Does anyone have a good higher level character sheet? I've used the standard, fillable PDF from WoTC, but there just isn't enough room for powers/abilities after 5th level. I've resorted to making my own on Wordpad, but wouldn't mind something a little more fancier. Cheers,

I really don't understand this sentiment that fighters should be just as good at social/exploration, as they are at fighting. That's not what the class is meant for. A small bonus maybe if there's a niche not being filled by say the rogue or bard, but if the fighter isn't stacking bodies...

My Goliath Barbarian, Lo-Kag, had his brain sucked out by a Mind Flayer. It was hard to be upset because having your brain sucked out is a good way for a character to die. But nonetheless I didn't feel like playing anything else, and reluctantly rolled a dumb high-elf Eldritch Knight. During...

I've always used that rolling a 1 is always a fail, and there is some minor set back to doing so. The opposite is true for a natural 20, in that if you do roll it, you always succeed and there's a minor benefit. Has it ruined anything at my table? Not in the least. If anything it makes the game...

The Dank Cellar Crew and Guild of Malevolent Intentions

Well, there doesn't seem to be anyone left to fill the Rogue spot, but instead of rolling another straight up Rogue, maybe add a twist. Not sure what level your party is, but I just made a Rogue 2 / Wizard 6. I know it's nothing groundbreaking, but the 2 levels in Rogue give you Expertise and...

Pretty magic heavy party, so should be a little more colourful combats, not just, "I attack the orc with my longsword," sorta stuff. The paladin and bard could be useful for party buffs.

Thanks. None of my players are rangers, so I wasn't thinking about them. Forgot that the UA Ranger doesn't need to pick a favoured terrain also. If I had to choose to ban rangers or never let the party get lost, I'd go with the not getting lost thing. Rangers don't have much going for them, so...

Hey folks! I'm hoping to start a new campaign in the near future where travel and exploration are heavily featured. Tonight, I wrote out a system for random encounters, random terrain obstacles, and a step-by-step guide for handling the travel. By no means do I believe this to be perfect. In...

I've never played or Dm'd a hexcrawl before, but this thread really got me thinking about how it might work. I was bored at work and started jotting down these notes: Overland Journeys and Exploration - Provide hex map with only major settlements or known points of interest - PC's choose the...
