    D&D 5E (2014) First character---need help

    That is pretty cool. If a player gets to freaky about the numbers they can make a human monk variant with Magic Initiate and the proper spell to simulate dragon breath. Then just put that cool image in the character description. I think it is also important to find out if you are rolling stats.

    D&D 5E (2014) First character---need help

    If this is your very first character I advise you to not make a level 1 dragon-born Monk. Instead, make: Scales Kahn, of the mountain fortress monastery. The swirling red fist, the disciple of the pure self. Then come up with whatever class works with that concept.

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you change a monster's hit points mid-fight?

    Sometimes I ignore rolls and sometimes I roll just to make the players wonder what is going on. Same with a monster's hit points. Sometimes I will give them one hit and sometimes the battle rages on beyond the mechanical.

    D&D Goes to Work Part II: Professional Game Masters

    I think a gaming club could work but you might have to offer more than D&D. Dues would have to be enough to pay for the clubhouse and utilities, too. Gamers would probably game in the evening so your hours would have to shift to match. Doing it online, you might have to slide a VTT host some...

    D&D 5E (2014) Version 2: Commander Class

    IME, first and second level go by so fast that the risk is worth loading features later. You can make the features beefier when they come later to encourage staying in the class and avoid cherry picking a front loaded design. I guess what I mean about the Battlemaster is that you could make...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e looking to create the ultimate support character

    After a bit of playtesting my build I probably would replace Fog Cloud with Sleep. You can replace Sleep later if you want. Take Hold Person and when bad guys get higher saves you can trade that out too.

    D&D 5E (2014) Version 2: Commander Class

    My first impression:I am kinda seeing a Battlemaster with additional maneuvers to choose from. Then after digesting it, the Warlord subclass is almost a Battlemaster with two additional maneuvers. Expertise seems kinda of wedged in to fill up a level feature. How about Rally Cry allow another...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e looking to create the ultimate support character

    If you mean dump Charisma to 13 then you can multi-class. I think you mean to dump something else. Unless you think dump means to raise your ability. Leave bard entirely. Try half-elf 13 ST, 10 DX, 14 CON, 10 INT, 16 WIS, 14 CHA Get Skill proficiency in Perception and Insight Take Outlander...

    D&D 5E (2014) Level 6 Wizard (Necromancer): Where to go from here?

    I would start on ranger and go beastmaster . That way you have a constant supply of bones.

    D&D 4E Is there any 4e Retro Clones out there?

    I wouldn't mind looking at another exceptions-based game but I don't know of any attempted 4E clones. I certainly won't spend any money on it. I would have to be smitten by its design, plus I would need to be able to find players.

    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    I am part of the big blue slice on the left. Homebrew for the win! When I am not in Mystara, that is.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's a Warlord? Never heard of this class before.

    Hey man, nice shot. Not sure what fan faction has to do with answering the OP. The warlord class has already been described well enough on this thread and was omitted from the core PHB by the DESIGNERS on the basis of whatever information they had and through significant playtesting. At some...

    November's SAGE ADVICE Is Here!

    I read them as a preemptive measure to ward off rules-lawyers and those that feel the need to quote Jeremy at my table. But alas, I mayhaps have overstepped my bounds and I concede. Read on, fans.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do Classes Have Concrete Meaning In Your Game?

    They got rid of Elf, Halfling and Dwarf classes long ago, only to emerge again in the OSR. Unless your OSR was adjusted to leave them out. /blank look

    D&D 5E (2014) Do Classes Have Concrete Meaning In Your Game?

    Interesting. I am one of those DMs that go out of my way to make sure the Rogue is having conversations that no one in the party is aware of. Thieves' Cant was left out in 3x and 4E as far as I know, and I suppose it was included for those that liked the feature pre2000.
