    D&D 5E (2014) Milticlassing Dip-schticks

    I've mostly seen multiclass dipping to achieve a certain concept of character. Others do it for mechanical reasons. The fact is, people play the way they want to. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. That's why they are optional rules. Just do whatever works best for your table.

    D&D 5E (2014) Balance of Power Problems in 5e: Self created?

    In our game, we make what we want, allow MC and feats, cheer each other's successes, comfort our failures, drink beer, have a good time. We aren't worried about balance because we get ourselves into some many different situations we're happy that one of us can help us out of it. I can't recall a...

    Plane Shift: Kaladesh - More MAGIC THE GATHERING For Your D&D Game!

    The Pyromancer sorcerer origin is clean and succinct. Could easily be adapted to another damage type and given a pithy name. I approve.

    D&D 5E (2014) Need a better houserule to fix Bladesinger's mechanics not supporting lore issue

    This. The DMG clearly states: Note, it does not say you have to have proficiency in ANY armor, only that you are considered proficient even if you LACK proficiency with medium armor. Therefore, by RAW, any character, regardless of class or proficiency, may use Elven Chain. That would include...

    D&D 5E (2014) Prestige Classes in 5e: What do you want to see?

    With the system designed as it is, I believe old school prestige class concept is anachronistic. Since each class gains archetype abilities at different points of advancement, a traditional prestige class would be untenable. This leads to an entry point requirement that is consistent throughout...

    D&D 5E (2014) If you've ever left D&D, what made you come back?

    Started withe AD&D2e. In the early 90s, I left for Champions and eventually moved and stopped playing RPGs altogether. Found a new group about 10 years later playing 3e. Then there was a drug & sex scandal in the group, which caused everything to implode and I just didn't have the energy nor...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is adamantine a metal?

    What strikes me as odd, is the fact that they choose not to use metal armor, but have no problem using metal weapons. So the dagger, the Scimitar, and the sickle are all examples of overworked metal instruments that Druids utilize. Why are they not limited to "naturally" obtained weapons like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is adamantine a metal?

    Once upon a time, there was a lesser known bard from the far away Empire, Britain the Greater. The bard was known as a radical in a time when conformity was the norm, the great age of Thatcher and Reagan known as the Eighties. One day, his songs traveled far to the land of America, and he became...

    D&D 5E (2014) Capricious Home Rules and DM Pet Peeves

    Whilst reading this thread, I have become thrilled with the fact that I am not the only anti-halfling DM out there. I have no logical reason for my hatred of them, I simply know that halfling (kender) PCs annoy me to tears. So no halflings in my games. Also, I hate the lamification of the drow...

    Magical powers does not equal devotion to a god. The Fighter who is a priest may be quite the tactician and serves in a role of philosophical debate and education within the parameters of the church. The cleric gained magical powers despite being a fairweather worshipper due to the fact his god...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: What's up next?

    As a DM, I have a world, hypothetically speaking, in which only one sorcerer exists, and a player at my table plays that sorcerer. It makes no difference to me as to which sorcerer bloodline he chooses, because he's the only one. I don't know that I would decry his potential choices of options...
