I'd rule 1 or 2. Actually, I'd rule 1 or a wraith could never kill him -- it would eventually reduce his max hp to 0 but he'd retain 10 temp hp!

I will mention Metatopia, every November in NJ. It's an astounding convention designed for designers instead of players. Slots are generally 2 hours long and you can run alpha tests, beta tests or roundtables to get ideas. It's freaking remarkable. http://www.dexposure.com/m2014.html

Last game I gave my players the chance to roll a perception check when looking at something that turned out to be a hypnotic pattern, and the people who made their checks had to save with Disadvantage*. I may be a big jerk. :) * this isn't something I'd do often, but it made actual sense in...

Sounds like you're flailing. Puns like this are a snap. [/hijack] I wonder if you could effectively fight with hammer and tongs. What weapon could we reskin, if any?

I'm a little sad that whip isn't more effective; whip and rapier (or whip and shortsword) sounds tremendously fun otherwise. Hmm. Anyone want to bet that someone has houseruled a Whip feat to allow them to grab, trip or disarm? EDIT: I'd probably allow such attempts by attacking with...

Maybe elves in your world don't dream because they were too good at it, and something or someone exiled them from the dreamscape. Maybe they even dreamed the world into existence and someone stole it. And maybe your heroes can give the gift of dreaming back to elves, and their entire culture...

Webbing a dragon, using the wings as anchor points? HILARIOUS.

For #2, I think the DM's guideline is: how hard is it for the fighter to intimidate the monster? If it's easy (the big, scary fighter vs some lvl 1 forest gnomes), the DC is 10. If it's moderate (the fighter vs some goblins), it's probably DC 15. If it's hard to ridiculously hard (the fighter vs...

It's designed to protect you when you roll a 1 on the d8 (or, even worse, a 1 on a d12 for greataxe.)

Sadly, I think your kenku are overpowered. Fun, though. Here's my wilden! --- Wilden Traits Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 2. Size. Medium. Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision...

Do you mind copying them over into this thread as well? I'd love to see them all in one place.

That's true with monster damage, too; I roll damage for boss monsters instead of taking the average. Way more fun for me. Here's something you'll notice. Because environmental difficulty doesn't and shouldn't scale with level, your heroes will be really good at lots of things. That's a great...

That's not what I mean! Damage output isn't multiplied by the targets. Not that you shouldn't cheer such an occasion, because FUN.

At 15th lvl, my PCs can crank out 100 pts of damage in a given player's turn. It's glorious, and impressive.

It's time-consuming to make that many 20th lvl characters. I recommend the players make them, in part because then the players will understand their capabilities. Learning curve is really the biggest challenge at that level. You'll want to provide a variety of challenges, types of fights, and...

If so, that's a great problem. It's simply fixed with new spells, which are inevitably going to come (and which are fun for players to create themselves.)

Same here. All the questions are mandatory, but if I vote "no" on question 4 I can't answer them.

Admin here. Goldomark, if you're posting reviews here, people get to comment on them and discuss the movie. That doesn't mean you should get defensive, and it definitely doesn't mean you get to accuse folks of being trolls. It's okay for people to disagree with you -- that's normal, and...

For folks interested, the Merchant Prince group played last night. Because we've switched from 4e to 5e at 15th level, people are getting used to their characters, and I've been gradually ramping up monster difficulty. [My players: spoilers within. Please don't read.] Tonight they fought...

Actually, if I'm remembering correctly, fog cloud is amazing but situational; you need to be attacked by ranged foes for it to do its job. I may be thinking of earlier editions, though. KD, I'm most interested in how you plan to fix it if you think wizards are underpowered. That's a lot more...
