Btw, where is 'summon a friendly unicorn' on the wild surge table?

Our wild mage has made himself younger by 6 years. He started at 18 and now needs a chaperone whenever he enters civilized lands. The same character has dropped a fireball on the party, but thankfully, it was not at a critical point. The last session he got a 66 which allowed him to dole out...

Here's some out of the box thinking. Reward the PC's for researching their opponent before charging headlong into battle. If they determine they're up against a wererat, then smart PC's will research how to kill one. If they want to solve the problem with their swords and fists instead of...

In my campaign, a group of Suloise secretly left their homeland prior to the Rain of Colorless Fire. However, they knew it was important to attract others of the proper intellect and bloodlines to them. So, they constructed waystations across Oerth to test potential immigrants to their new...

I don't know which one he uses but there are a bunch out there on iTunes. I have RPG buddy on my phone that does initiative easily

I concur. My players use an app for rolling initiative. It has everyone's bonuses and I just tell the Initiative Keeper the names of opponents and their bonuses. With the click of one button each round, we have a new order. The only person who knows the order is the IK and he calls out each...

Just don't start LARP'ing DnD in steam tunnels and you'll be fine ;)

Wik beat me to the punch. Misty Step shouldn't be auto win button for defeating flying dragons. The character needs to figure out where that dragon's going to be at the moment they are able to cast the spell. Keep in mind the range of Misty Step is only 30 feet. So, they're probably going to...

I remember him crit'ing a spell at some point. So, I'm pretty sure you're right.

As a gay man, I agree with the OP that I like WOTC's inclusiveness statement. However, I'm not upset there are no openly LBGT characters in their published works. Honestly, there is not that much published material in 5e and secondly, I don't think it would add to the plot in any that are out...

In my current game, I went the 4d6 and drop the lowest of the 4 six times. Then they could arrange their stats as they like. I'd love to run or play in a game where the stats are rolled in order and from there the player decides what class, race, etc. to play.

Seems consistent from what I've read so far. You could also consider reducing its effectiveness.

Whatever gets your rocks off dude

I brought it up because you did. You seemed offended so I clarified.

Okay...

For first time players, I'd run something that was new to them. I think it would make the experience more special than something they've already read.

First, how do you explain that multi-classing isn't going to come up? It happens all the time. Players make a snap decision or find a neat magic item which would benefit another class more than the one they are currently in and decide to switch to another class. There are many reasons...

Actually, you didn't explain why characters can instantly know something they never knew before. You basically said, you don't care if they instantly learn an entire skillset which would take someone under normal circumstances months to learn on their own. To that, I said, I prefer a bit more...
