    D&D 5E (2014) Teleport /fly /misty step the bane of cool dungeon design is RAW in 5E

    To be honest, while 1st level shorty range teleportation might be too early, then already at 3rd level you have ton of other spells to deal with a large number of normal obstacles... levitate, spider climb, feather fall and a lot others, many of which have been available at that that spell level...

    D&D 5E (2014) Teleport /fly /misty step the bane of cool dungeon design is RAW in 5E

    A lot of short range teleportation abilities require the character to see the locations, so its actually really easy to limit them. You can also use some subterfuge to bait the character to use the ability too early or trick him to waste it in some other way. In general every classic obstacle...

    UA: New Race Options, Eladrin and Gith

    So question... considering that we have a subrace option that is strongly tied to feywild and a race that is strongly tied to planes and planar travel? So is ita hint that they are working on something planar or worlds of D&D related? Coroc most of obstacles and limitations you describe...

    D&D 5E (2014) Updated Xanathar Guide Info

    The real issue was with the power of some of its tradition abilities, but not with the tradition itself. People were far more disliking that the theurge was mostly just copying cleric domain abilities and getting the most powerful one ahead of schedule.

    D&D 5E (2014) Updated Xanathar Guide Info

    Same here. i hope we get a cleaned up and better balanced version of the lore master. It seems also be a high possibility, because a lot of people have been wanting a "generalist wizard."

    D&D 5E (2014) Updated Xanathar Guide Info

    Swashbuckler has been mostly confirmed and arcana domain and storm sorcerer are obvious, but i doubt that the fourth one will be Undying patron warlock. Why? It's probably one of the least popular subclasses in SCAG and found to be meh by most players. There was also nothing supporting it in the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Death domain clerics CAN be LN. DMG suggests LN and Death Domain for Raven Queen

    Let's be honest... there is a difference between animating corpses and actually creating undead. Animate dead doesn't trap souls to their corpses or twist them, it just uses the corpses. The RQ warlock in the UA pretty much says that the RQ doesnt care for normal animated skeletons and zombies...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell me about your tieflings

    In my setting tieflings are mostly a product or in some cases a side-effect of fiendish/infernal magic. It might be that the unborn baby gets cursed in the womb or was one of the parents cursed to sire a tielfling. In other cases proximity to infernal magics or having been at some time affected...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate vampires for 5e

    Well both names are mostly meant as placeholders, although i have grabbed a few ideas from witcher for the second archetype (active use of mist form/invisibility as a combat ability). I totally agree. Atm the main connecting factors are: they drink blood, are undead and have serious issues...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate vampires for 5e

    While i can appreciate the standard "stokerian" vampires in 5e, i also have started feeling that they only really fit only certain kinds of adventures/encounters. I have a few times tried to use vampire spawn as lesser vampires and let's be hones they haven't been the most interesting monsters...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Races (classes) do you allow or disallow in your campaign?

    Didn't we have an thread with the same topic some months ago? I'm not going to answer what races/classes i ban or don't use, rather i'm saying why i use monstrous and exotic races. Rather i'm saying why i use them. For me fantasy has evolved past its roots and has room for far more interesting...

    D&D 5E (2014) What homebrew rules are you using for level advancement?

    I usually demand several days of downtime for characters to train, study, meditate on their experiences or experiment with their powers. The only thing they get automatically are hit points and probably proficiency bonus (thinking about it). his allows to avoid mid dungeon leveling weirdness...

    D&D 5E (2014) Xanathar's Guide to Everything -- new mechanical expansion/UA book! -- November 10 with a limited-edition cover by Hydro74

    So is cavalier the knight, the samurai or perhaps a mix of them? Also Inquisitive was some time ago... Considering that the "blade bard was in popular, but needing some revisions" UA. How much older stuff might we see? Having seen seeker warlock stuff in the UA makes it a possibility of seeing...

    The New D&D Adventure Is - Tomb of Annihilation!

    In 5e demiliches are considered as degraded liches, who have lost both a lot of their power, most of their physical form and often their sanity. Something to note is that 5e demiliches can become liches again, if they manage to "feed" their phylactery. Acererak is of course listed as a sort of...
