IF there's still room, I'd love to get in on this. I did it a few times, and had a lot of fun each time.

Too overpriced to deal with the fact that they're probably closed on weekends? Where do you live? And how is that realistic? I mean, even Amazon doesn't ship or process funds on weekends.

This is the type of CharOp I can get behind. Enjoyable read, not finding some ridiculous power combos, and it's about one of my favourite classes in 5e to boot! Yeah, works for me.

Glass is half full with you all the time, ain't it? It's a weekend. Wait until monday. Give it a few days. Or, you know, call them. And be civil. Sometimes automated systems are messed up and make mistakes. Life will be much better if you stop assuming the worst of people.

Yeah, one of the strengths of 5e is that there ISN'T a rule for everything. You're on the right mark - you're trying to figure out how to respond to this perceived "gap". That's the way it should be handled... and your initial guess seems a fair way to go. Personally, I'd have the PCs make...

First off - well done for Dark Sun! It is, by far, my favourite setting, and I can't wait to run a 5e DS game eventually. Second - there are all sorts of fun ways to hinder the paladin. You could have enemy templars come after him... say, a couple of Gulgite Headhunters (Judagas? I can't...

We sit at 6 players plus myself. It could easily go higher, though - I've decided six is where I feel comfortable capping the number of players. I find groups of seven or more players a bit more difficult to GM for... at least, more difficult for me to do effectively. Our party, however...

5e vs 3.5? 5e is ultimately simpler, but with a looser rules system. It requires more GM interpretation of the rules, and isn't as solidly written. This is a feature, not a bug, but some people don't see it that way. 5e is less mathsy across the board, with fewer buffs and the like...

My experience is that the more PCs you have, even when you adjust for the number, the easier the fights become. the reasoning is that PCs have more partners to pair with (in a six player party you, you have fewer partners to pair with than in a 7 player party), and so abilities are more likely...

You know, I'm not a charop person. And I don't really like to see it in my games; the two players I have that do this sort of thing have stopped in 5e, partly out of deference to my own wishes, and partly because they saw their behaviour was not making the game more enjoyable for everyone...

Well, if my players are able to find a way to beat an encounter without using violence, more power to them.... boss fight or no. BUT, if I had players who wanted to play the entire game as pacifists? Nope. They could play somewhere else, it's not my type of game. I want sandboxy and loose...

So, Buffy was a Barbarian!? Interesting. I can get behind that. Not sure if this is as good a choice as other bbn subclasses out there, but nothing is majorly out there. I'd add that Graceful Swings should also have dexterity ability checks get advantage when raging. The level 14...

Yeah, it's totally a background, just like sailors: "I'm a parent. I come from a long line of parents. My father was a parent, his father was a parent, all the way back to my great great grandfather, who parented here all the way from the old country. In fact, you could say that parenting is...

I'll agree with you there. Think of it this way - you're new to D&D or MtG. You go to the "official" fan site, start scrolling through the forums... and find a huge list of complaints and negativity. I know I've seen it in both D&D and mtg threads... not all of them, but certainly a few...

Hm. Not entirely sure... after all, we didn't get anything for 4e, and it was much more release heavy than 5e. And 3e was pretty light on OA stuff as well,and it was willing to go into some strange directions with official releases (remember Ghostwalk?). Realistically, I'd expect something...

I had been thinking about this myself. Dragons, a very rare species, seem far too few in number to have a minimum of 10 subspecies. So, it follows that they should be able to "interbreed"... like dogs, I guess. I'm thinking of doing this in my own campaign world, but having it that a dragon's...

Oo! Fun stuff. I approve. And here's an idea I was having myself - I was gonna use it for my own druidic PC, but that game went under, so now it's just floating around and I have to share. The human companion is a guy who has always "felt the pull of the wild", but not to forests or...

This is a cool little idea you have. I love to see Rome get attention in fantasy games... for some reason, it's often ignored. I have a roman-inspired game that I run, and it's a great thing to play with... organized governments, large armies, relatively peaceful cities.... not to mention...

I've got one for the arcane trickster. An elven coin, said to be left on the Earth by some sort of Elven God of Gambling - a Dionysius sorta fellow. It gives the wielder the ability to bend luck - both good and bad. Once per day, the elf can flip the coin. If heads, the elf will get...

I don't want to slog through a whole swatch of material, but I'm liking what amounts to a pretty strong first draft. The GOOD: 1. Ambuscade is great because it replicates the early D&D ranger's ability to avoid becoming surprised. And getting an extra turn on the first round of combat is...
