I like it - giving this to a level one party will terrify them as they will know a dragon could toast them, they will wonder what the hell the DM is playing at! :) In the rewards section it states various rewards but then there are XP awards (CR-based?) noted in every numbered area. Are these...

I may as well jump in here as I have been emailing recaps to my players...the latest three sessions follow. Party: Elhorn: Half-elf diplomat turned unwilling sorcerer Eddie: Halfling inquisitive in hock to the Lord's Alliance Feyred: Half-elf Flaming Fist failure, who made a Hexblade's Pact...

Yeah, this isn't really a great adventure for players who want a forgiving environment! Although the lead up to the Tomb is not so deadly of course. I did have to house rule a use of Shield spell to prevent an early death by firetrap in Camp Righteous...I still agonize over my weakness... I've...

I only ever DM but my current character concept I'd play is a half-orc paladin of Kelemvor, who also makes a Pact with an Undying patron to further gain insight into his obsessive mission to rid the world of foul undead. Progression would be P1, P2, Wa1, Wa2, P3, P4, P5, ??

Everything in the OP is wrong. A door or bed is exactly the size the DM says it is. Average European male height is 5' 8" - 5' 11" depending upon country. This thread enrages me. We had enough fake news in 2018, don't start the New Year like this!

It's clickbait. I only had a vague doubt on one question and ended up with 100%. Nothing hard and barely anything educational in there. Someone here should do a better one and link to it for us...</delegation>

It's a no-win situation. If you have enough time on your hands to set up a regular game, say twice a week, then it's guaranteed nobody else will be able to join you that frequently. You'll end up playing weekly at best, or bi-weekly or monthly and twiddling your thumbs the rest of the time. On...

I love the feel of the Old World setting and I like the extra layer of detail over DnD 5e which we are currently playing. I'm considering using WFRP 4e for our next campaign after finishing Tomb of Annihilation. However, I fear the extra complexity will just be too much for my players...

A Baldur's Gate style videogame that uses the 5e ruleset. VR adventures...

My group had two goes, running off to hide in a room and heal up with spells (no rest, so it didn't recover HPs either) before ambushing it again from the back and sides down the right hand canal by the bridge, spread out. It downed one guy with steam breath but they had moved into different...

There's a few imaginative options to counter it. Throwing down a shield or other object to step on (topple the gong, in the example above) and taking a standing jump to clear 5ft+ of the growth without the damage, are options I would try to use. And since you're the DM you can give them whatever...

I generally sketch out a map showing rough positions before kicking off. It gets scrawled upon extensively, and I continuously describe the positioning in each round, e.g. "OK so now the three of you are in a line up against the one velociraptor (V3) whilst over to the left the two others of...

My PCs leg it left right and centre at the first sign of any trouble! Morale rules would actually keep them fighting longer ;) I sometimes use morale for monsters, and have them run off to warn others or just flee. I don't (or rarely) use a dice roll or save, I simply decide when the NPC or...

I don't know the encounter/adventure yet but: Just have him stop the fight for an instant (i.e. on his first turn) and threaten the PCs with whatever higher level ability can kill them unless they back off NOW. Back it up with 'your insight tells you he/she means it' There is a similar...

A problem with that skill check retry method is that it encourages players to start with the player with the LOWEST chance of success. Completely immersion-breaking in my view. I allow a retest by the same or a different player after some time has passed. Thus, in non-time-critical situations...

A more interesting post to other people in this thread might include details of what system(s) they prefer instead and why they are not keen on D&D 5e. Do tell!

(Some spoilers unavoidable...) I got halfway through, and am a quarter way through now with a PBF group. I didn't reveal any of the above information. They will probably see the Eye symbol in one of the Chapter 6 preambles. I made it a DC20 religion check that nobody got. I think a lower DC...
