With regard to the tactic of readying a spell out of sight, and then running into a room to release it without the threat of a counterspell, there is Sage Advice on this: https://www.sageadvice.eu/2017/09/15/is-it-too-late-to-counter-a-readied-spell-that-has-been-triggered/. If we agree that...

Having just received my 5e Rappan Athuk, which is awesome, I will definitely be supporting this KS. I have no will power to resist 5e conversions of adventures from the classic era of D&D (my group is currently playing through Into the Borderlands by Goodman Games). I started playing and running...

A Greyhawk boxset.

Some good ones here. I didn't see it mentioned yet so I'll add No Quarter by Led Zep.

If your players aren't willing to learn the rules of the game they are playing, perhaps this group should play a different game. Have you tried Dungeon World? The Powered by the Apocalypse system might be a better fit. The character sheets ('playbooks") and character moves are simple - all the...

Flying Snakes - 1/8 CR. Only 5 hp, but AC 14, 60ft fly speed with Flyby ability. +6 to hit doing 1 piercing plus 7 poison. Against a swarm of them, if you don't have AoE damage (or poison resistance), you will die.

"Choose one 6th-level spell from the warlock spell list as this arcanum." The spell has to be from the list specified by the warlock ability table on PHB 106. I misunderstood mystic arcanum when I first played a warlock but then after re-reading saw that they don't have spell slots. "You can...

I have a player in my group who uses dodge a lot. He plays a dwarf battlemaster with the Dwarven Fortitude feat and defensive fighting style (AC19). If he as taken some damage, he will use his action to dodge and use a hit die to heal, use Second Wind to heal with his bonus action, and then when...

Thinking back to 1979-1981 when I started playing, more often than not we were using TSR modules with the included pre-generated characters, not extended homebrew campaigns. I had a regular group meet at my house for about a year that moved from B1 into my own campaign, but that was an...

Absolutely agree with you. Based on another thread by the OP on the same character, I was assuming that this character was still being built for Adventurer's League play and he would have to choose between XGtE or SCAG for his PHB+1. In AL you can have Absorb Elements or Booming Blade, but not...

My EK took War Caster and raised Str to 20 with his first 3 ASI's and will take Resilient(wisdom) next. I wanted to have my Str maxed out by the time I get 3 attacks at level 11. After that I'm planning to go with Con increases to go from 16 to 20. Con affects so many things that matter - hp...

I would look at Prot from Evil/Good (abjuration) as one of your first spells. It gives you some condition immunities and makes a wide array of creatures attack you at disadvantage. Aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead -- that's a big chunk of the MM! If you take...

Generic Ability Feat Choose one ability and add +1 to that ability score. Then choose one of the following benefits: 1) You can add half of your proficiency bonus to any ability check you make using your chosen ability if the check does not already include your proficiency bonus, OR 2)...

Besides being on this forum... Painting minis until 2:00am on work nights Adding to my minis wishlist on miniaturemarket.com Random D&D crafts - dice trays, DM screens, dice towers made from scotch boxes Planning characters or campaign encounters and maps while at work Using the color copier at...

Fog cloud is good if you are looking for something to do besides sleep and magic missile. Who doesn't love a fog machine? When my druid first started out she was a little shy about changing into a beast in front of others. Our wizard would cover her with a fog cloud and then she would change...

Flight of Dragons--19 The Last Unicorn--24 The Hobbit--21 The Lord of the Rings--20 The Return of the King--18 Black Cauldron--12 Wizards--24 Princess Mononoke--24 Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind--20 Spirited Away--23 Secret of Nimh--26 How to Train Your Dragon--17 Kubo and the Two...

At third level I would add, "You can sneak attack with weapons that have the thrown property." Jeremy Crawford has tweeted that throwing a melee weapon does not turn it into a ranged weapon, so without this change, your strength rogue will not be able to SA with any of the non-finesse simple...

I bought Vol 1, Into the Borderlands and am running it for my group, but I think I'll pass on Vol 2. Dinos in D&D isn't my thing and if it was I would just play ToA. I wonder if the license for the OAR product line precludes anything from Greyhawk since the first two releases aren't specific to...

I'm stoked that my two T4 characters with Mithral Splintmail +1 will each get 12 treasure points immediately. Plate armor +3, Staff of the Magi, I hear you calling.
