Oh, did they move Epic Boons from the DMG to the PHB?

That's up to you. Play with the action economy, too. Give them multiattack or two bonus actions or extra reactions (don't forget Uncanny Dodge!). A 20th level Arcane Trickster with pretty good gear is only CR 15.

I would add some epic boons on, like being immune to divination spells, +10 to Stealth, +30' speed, etc. It makes them a lot harder to pin down. An array of poisons to apply to weapons? Also, blindsight. The rogue 10' blindsense in 5.14 doesn't give blindsight, so fog cloud or an eversmoking...

Use the following: -a 5e adventuring day (5-8 encounters between long rest) -Terrain, cover, distant foes, and 3D movement (ledges, cliffs, fliers, etc.) -Reinforcements -2-3 enemy types per encounter -Enemies that hit harder (to drain hit point resources) but are also squishier. One of my more...

Ah, with only 4 ASIs you're probably using them all for CHA and can't bump your DEX up or take Moderately Armored for half plate + Shield (AC 19). Drums, Mantle of Spell Resistance, and Tome? Mirror Image will eat 3 attacks, but with an AC of 13 on the images, it won't last too long. Greater...

Sorry, Mantle of Spell Resistance.

With only 3 magic items, I'd stay away from martials. That's ridiculously underequipped as you have only 1 weapon, 1 armor, and 1 open slot to cover movement, utility, defense-boosting, a secondary weapon (ranged/melee), etc. You could get your AC up (+3 shield, +2 armor, +2 weapon or a flame...

Nope. Monsters should be interesting.

I voted Other as one of my reasons, which would include unhappiness with the design direction of WOTC from Tasha's on. I don't trust them to actually make improvements. My somewhat houseruled 5e games march on. I've taken the few things I like from 5.24.

What are your favorite crafting systems / DM's Guild publications for 5e? Magic Item pricing? I'm aware of the Sane Magic Item pricing and am not a fan of the huge numbers and over-complication in it. I'd like something better than the basic DMG "around X-Y range per rarity" though.

Isn't that how it's been since 3 or 3.5 when you could have a cleric of X ideal RAW? Falls-From-Grace was that back in PS:T back in the late 90s. This is of course DM dependent. My games still require clerics and paladins to have a specific deity if there's a focus on moral choices and...

PERFECT! Thank you.

Did you happen to have a specific source for those, or are these just particular buildings you were familiar with? Both look great!

I am planning an upcoming campaign that could involve infiltration and/or attack of multiple noble families living in the same city. I don't want to re-use the same map, and I also don't want to have to re-invent the layout of a 20-50 room manor every single time. Most of the "manor" maps on...

Don't you still have to clean dust off the heatsinks occasionally?

I'm not entirely clear what the value of the 6th level Sylvan weapon feature is. You turn into a tree as an action, but there's no listing for AC or HP, and I can only assume it takes an action to turn back from a tree into a a weapon. What is this good for? The space restrictions make it...

Wow, this looks really cool so far. I'm going to go buy it on the DM's guild now. I have a campaign I'm planning that this would work well in. I suspect it'd be best for someone who doesn't care so much for the tactical aspects of the game. All you have to do on your turn is cast a spell or...

Cell phones have, but computers? Not really. Graphics get a bit better for high end computer games I guess, and if you want to run AI toys you have to have Win 10 because they didn't program them to work with 7, but PC hardware speeds haven't gone up by a factor of 5-10x in 10 years like they...

In the US, the average age of cars is around 12.5-13. My pickup is at 20 years and almost 280,000 miles. We only buy Toyotas because they last. I'm going to keep it as long as I can... the newer cars with touchscreens and all the extra internet-connected stuff are just loaded with more...

My complaint with VTTs is the lack of the face to face/IRL human interaction that lets me build relationships with real people. Videoconferencing is not a substitute (although it's better than a phone call for sales work). I guess a secondary complaint would be "My prep has to be more than...
