City State of the Invincible Overlord is the original urban crawl setting. It might not be sufficiently pre-made for your purpose, but every street has shops, NPC's, possible rumors and legends, and unique street encounters: Cutpurse Row 40% prob of robbery attempt if alone (-10% per comrade)...

Lots of good spells here that are always on my list, but I'm going to add Fly which I always take when I can get it. Go where you want to go, see what you want to see, skip over terrain obstacles. There are enough monsters that lack both flight and a long range attack that you can sometimes just...

75. Whenever players make a choice, later on in the session tell them what they missed by not making the other choice. "Good thing you didn't take the forest path; there was a gorgon waiting for you." After every encounter tell the players how some other group of players handled the situation...

In general I think anytime the DM disallows a specific game element it should be because it conflicts with something consequential in the campaign setting. Disallowing MC in general is fine, but if you are going to rule out certain combos like cleric/warlock then gods and patrons need to be more...

Good suggestions. I think I'll ask for a ruling that if I use Eyes of the Dark to cast Darkness with SP then the hound can see through the darkness the same as I can. Also, I hadn't thought about the "save every round" spells being much more attractive with the hound next to them. My first level...

I am playing a Vengeance Paladin 6/Shadow Sorcerer 8/Hexblade 1 in a heroic, save the world type of campaign. I chose shadow sorcerer for the free darkness spell and because the Strength of the Grave ability was a cool feature for my melee gish. Overall the character has performed like I hoped...

My cleric uses Sanctuary quite often whenever he's concentrating on a buff like Bless or Holy Aura. Turn one: cast buff. Turn two: Dodge action and Sanctuary bonus action. In a 10 or 15 ft wide corridor, he has used Sanctuary + Dodge to completely deny passage to a group of large enemy creatures...

A complete list of magic items is in the DMG. If you don't have that, there is a magic item list at DnDBeyond. It's not as complete as the DMG list but has lots of goodies to choose from. Since you only get one, you'll have to choose from something for offense, defense, or utility. At rare or...

Dungeon Levels Dungeon levels were once considered the primary feature of the game environment but don't have the same significance today. To quote the very first instruction the White Box has for DM's, "First, the referee must draw out a minimum of half a dozen maps of the levels of his...

Even if you could take Ritual Caster more than once, a player might be better served by taking 3 levels of warlock for Pact of the Tome/Book of Ancient Secrets. The Book invocation enables ritual casting for spells from any class assuming you can find them written down somewhere (spell scroll...

If you are looking to swap out Suggestion I would take Misty Step instead. Too many uses to list, and best of all it is a bonus action spell.

21. Goblins rarely wear underwear, but when they do, it's usually something special.

You might think about starting out with 2 levels of barbarian before switching to Rogue to get shield proficiency, Reckless Attack, Danger Sense, and a lot of hp for your melee rogue. You could sword and board with a short sword or rapier, trigger Sneak Attack at will with Reckless Attack, and...

There is a Matt Colville video that is on point for this thread. Check out Running the Game #27

My birthday is in April. I'll try to cast Suggestion on my wife, but she almost always beats my save DC.

This was my first thought as well. The MM says that lycanthropes that accept their curse learn to master their shapechanging ability and can assume beast or hybrid form at will. There is a class in there somewhere. Might look like a cross between Totem Barbarian and Moon Druid.
