Not exactly what you're asking for so no offense taken if you ignore this reply... I play with a weekly group in Arlington ( by courthouse metro station), Sunday's from about noon til 6. All guys in our mid 30s However we primarily play 4e. We have occasionally done a one time session of 5e...

As someone (albeit a quiet someone these days) who has been using these boards since they started under different leadership ( back when 3e was still getting scoops and previews), one of the things I always appreciated was the no politics or religion rule. I'd go in to specific reasons on my I...

There are two conversations going on here ... What to do with the CHARACTER and what yo to do with the PLAYER The OP asked about the CHARACTER, and my gut reaction based on how my group would react is ...... Do the characters know about restoration magics? If so they wouldn't just up and kill a...

( I have not read any of this thread aside from the OP, so I am answering to that OP specifically ) In my opinion, the setting in which potter takes place does not have any racial relevance... That is to say, there aren't racial slurs or comments of a race being oppressed. For this reason, in...

Disclaimer I'm not a critical type of viewer. I find I enjoy things on some level (be it story , or effects , or , more commonly, simple escapism to avoid other stuff I should be doing) more than most people who post on these boards. So take my opinion with a grain of salt I just watched the...

If and only if you can find it on the cheap, try Drako. One player is a dragon, the other player is a trio of dwarves. A nice board and minis. You draw cards (simple cards of move attack block) as you try and take the other side out. Plays about 30 min. It's pretty simple to understand. And...

I had no costume and if I did it would not be near any sort of quality....... I envy your costume pics! ;-). Nicely done

My realms lore is weak so apologies if I'm remembering wrong ... But isn't arcane magic partially fueled by a force known as 'the weave' and mystra s focus is partially on maintaining the weave? So if I'm remembering all that maybe mystras clerics are about maintaining and such for the weave...

I'm still on the learning curve for figuring out difficulty but having said that, having 4-4th and 1-3rd should be ok but I suspect it'll be on the harder side because the adventure is assuming you have those pcs and some npc so from the prison potentially So doable but probably difficult. Just...

As odd a suggestion as this is, you can make the first escape actually a dream of one of the PCs. The adventure specifically has madness dreams as a part of it! So you'll just be adding in a new type of madness dream. (( you could even toy with the players ...' Was that first escape the dream...

I have t read the whole thread, and this point has surely already been said but I'll still say it .... If you play such that combat is the focus of your games, then sure, ranger is not the damage dealing machines like other classes can potentially be. If you're table plays such that...

I'd suggest not running a dm PC...it takes away from the players. Having said that, I'd create another NPC that's in the cell with them. I'd make it human so as to not outshine the unquiness of the pcs and other npcs. And I'd likely go with some sort of guard or soldier type, again for...

It's more the design of chapter 1 of the adventure. It is there to make the pcs feel like helpless prisoners. I know my players would hate and feel frustrated by it. If your players are ok with it then they'll feel all the more satisfied when they do escape! I , on the other hand, will be...

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm actually GLAD they don't have a new subclass for each class. It potentially shows that wotc isn't looking to force an idea for the sake of symmetry but rather stuck with what was flavorful and inspired for the concept of the book. In my opinion , designing...

If I were making an on the spot ruling at my table ( presuming I'm even understanding the situation correctly) I'd be weary of stealing a key trick of the arcane rogue, so I might rule something like .... Caster's int check vs defender's wisdom(perception). Defender only has to be aware of it to...

It's nice to see people having fun. :-)

While I do both depending on circumstance these days I lean more towards minis than not ( so that's what I picked in the poll) It allows easier communication/understanding between players and do as to what the situation is ( otherwise someone may explain something but it might be misunderstood...

My group loves performance, I think they'd cry if they heard anyone call it a waste. It's about play style. If you're more interested in the combat aspects of what you can do then sure it's considerably less useful. But if you like the social interaction parts if the game then perform can...

The way you wrote it here you seem (to me) a little bitter and resentful over the party expecting you to be the healing resource. And that's fine to be bitter and resentful, just calling attention to it since that frames the rest of my response ..... Don't look at the barbarian and assume that...

I would suggest one of three things .... 1) use an AP but don't look at it as such a negative option ( or at least do it seems by the way you wrote what you wrote) 2) don't use your existing home brew world! Your fatigue could very easily be system independent but more because you've gone...
