I am pretty sure that no part of this post belongs on EN World.

They are barbarian raiders, so the party is stealing (if you want to use that word) from thieves. I stop caring about the cultural implications when the people in question stole the items being recovered. As for swapping them out with Orcs, sorry but that is silly, if you are uncomfortable with...

Read Conan and you find that rage is a very uncommon item for him. Most of the time when faced with heavy odds Conan doe what is best tactically. He will put his back to a wall if he can and if he cannot he dives among them to cause chaos and in the hopes that they will interfere with each...

This by far. Fighters are their weakest when you let the party short and long rest any time they feel like it. Then everyone can regain their abilities constantly and the fighters biggest benefit "stamina" completely disappears. The starting portion of my campaign I am running now is a good...

Buggs by far, as he demonstrated once when he starting drawing the cartoon Daffy was in Buggs can take himself out of reality and literally be God.

Amazon is within 10% of my LGS. So there is something funny about his local store if the difference in pricing is THAT drastic. If you want to help then split the difference. Buy two from Amazon and the third locally if it makes you feel better. If it was me I wouldnt hesitate to order from...

The most annoying for me is people who design their characters with some aspect of personality that lets them role play being a jerk 24/7. It does not take long in a DnD world for said character to get murdered by someone they have annoyed but it matters not because their next character will...

This depends on specific situation. Do the Kobolds know they are there hiding or is it possible the party from from the Kobolds point of view. How large is dungeon? How well did they hide or block themselves in? MY personal choice as a DM would be to make it completely up to the party. If they...

To me the balance is how the spell works. The creature is not inclined to help you. They were not sitting around the Outer Planes having signed into the PA queue just waiting to be summoned. Also the spell should not be used casually. A player better know very well whom they want to summon and...

Sounds to me like the problem is you want a very traditional game where the party cleric looks like a cleric, the party wizard looks like a wizard, where they guy in heavy army and carrying longsword and shielf MUST be a fighter . That is all your choice and it is neither right nor wrong.

Simple question Why after all this time is DnD Beyond still so bad? I decided for the heck of it to create a 9th level bard using the Beyond system. Gee, cannot select the Bardic College of Valor. Only the college of Lore is a choice. Pretty basic items to be missing for something Wizards has...

The subclasses are very fun, some are quite interesting. One thing to remember is they are NOT balanced. The game designers straight up admit what is posted in UA is not balanced in regards to multiclassing. So there are several parts of UA subclasses that allow some pretty gamebreaking things...

Favored Enemy requires you to pick a type of humanoid. So you pick orcs. Great, you are the great orc hunter. You can detect them, their numbers and location. You lead your party there and lay an ambush just waiting for the 6 orcs you were sending to walk in. Oops, those orcs are riding worgs...

Take a small army of 200 men, its no world conqueror but its enough in the medieval era for one small kingdom to send out to raid harass another. It is foot soldiers, some archers, and maybe half a dozen knights acting as leaders. That army either marching during the day or worse encamped at...

I have always wanted to imagine that if you wanted to do ultra realistic combat then hit point loss is not wounds at all. It is you getting tired or bruised on battle. Real wounds, actually bleeding injuries that make it unable to act or concentrate, and over time will cause you to die. That to...

To me there are other things to consider. As an example, in my current campaign the world I have created has ZERO crypts or cemeteries. In a world where the dead can be raised or animated without too much trouble why would anyone bury bodies in the ground? Instead in my campaign world the dead...

On the other hand a brand new player that has not read and memorized the PHB may not know that Shield block magic missile and would have the same "ah ha" moment. So why should someone that has memorized the PHB be allowed to complain if you switch up the flavor text to hide the spell in question.

I use it purely within context of the situation. Swing at an enemy and roll a 1, no big deal, you missed. Swing at an enemy while dueling on a narrow catwalk, you better make an acrobatics check or slip. Also use them for humor in the same context. Session before last the party was attacked by...

The spell says you float gently to the ground when the spell ends. So there is no risk, IF someone was the dispel the levitate then I would say you have a different story.

That is entirely possible, in which case it is VERY poorly written.
