    D&D 5E (2014) Evil parties that don't fall apart: ideas, suggestions, experiences?

    You must establish some reason why they are working together. Meta reasoning gets tested very quickly and stretches plausibility. Ex of meta reasoning " because you're all pcs and we want to game" Plot reasoning works well enough but only survives as long as the plot is present. Ex of plot...

    DM Advice and Ideas Needed

    If you do not want to deal with the micromanaging, you can assume it in broad strokes by .... Every month .... Roll 1d6 3or less loss 4 or more profit And use modifiers of +\- 1 or 2 for every major activity they did to affect business. So opening a new trade route seems like a big deal so +2...

    D&D 5E (2014) HOTDQ backgrounds

    Many (though not all) of the bonds and background features that i noticed in Hotdq are spins on existing (generic) ones in the phb. (example: there is a background feature about having a cover identity in the dragon cult, though there is a more generic version of that in the phb backgrounds...

    D&D 4E Student of the Plague and linked traits (4e FR)

    Like scrivener said, As far as I recall they did not add more traits for that. And when neverwinter campaign setting came out they did the spell scared via a theme rather than feat.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ran Defiance in Phlan Tonight

    Hope you're having fun! I am speaking from memory so I void be wrong but I think there is a feat that improves those I believe leveling after the apprentice tier slow down greater so after you pass these initial few levels it will slow down on it's own Anyway I love seeing reports on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druid Flavor Help

    make comments about how things compare to the forest or the trees or animals of the forest (i.e. don't start talking about the mountain lion, but rather talk about wolves and bears). only wildshape in to animals that are native to the forest speak in metaphors/similes that are about woods ("he...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Eberron dragonmarks?

    Disclaimer:I do not know anything about power levels of dragon marks ( I'm only vaguely aware of the concept) so some of this may not be appropriate..... Assuming house rules.... 1 option. Everyone gets a choice of a bonus feat or a lesser dragon mark. At the start of every tier another bonus...

    D&D 5E (2014) Building a character for Adventure League - questions

    I'm making a character to try an Adventure League game (D&D Expeditions). Could questions .... 1) Is "Customizing your Background" in the PHB considered a "variant" (and therefore not allowed since it isn't mentioned in the Adventure League Guide) or is it core/allowed in the Adventure League...

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleric Domains in PHB

    While there are other domains I'd like to have seen in initial release, I can respect the fact that more cleric space would take away space from other content in the book. So hopefully at a reasonable time in the future we can see more domains

    D&D 5E (2014) So.... about scrolls...

    If int (arcana) check ends up NOT being the way, I will almost certainly make it a house rule. I like the idea of anyone being able to use scrolls ( at least have some chance to do so). In 4e the ability for anyone to use a scroll became important plot points for Npcs to be able to do things...

    D&D 5E (2014) I have something... THE TARRASQUE!

    While I like it too, I can't help but feel that 1-3 should be half damage ratter tan unaffected, this gives some gamble or reason to try magic. As it stands now there isn't any reason for pcs to try magic and therefore it may as well all just say immune to magic and have the same effect. ( I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranger

    You might say it's a favored enemy ;-) ( but more specifically, it's just one of those classes that everyone seems to have different opinions on how it its core should be represented..)

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranger

    Disclaimer, I have not seen the phb ranger write up, merely basing my response on what I see here Keep in mind that this edition is explicitly trying to cater to three pillars of RPGs, combat is merely one of them. So the features of the class may be leaning towards more of the exploration...

    Legend of korra book 3

    So the new episodes for this season are now just posted on nick.com website every Friday at noon (eastern time). I just caught the most recent episode ( "long live the queen" ) and have to say I was surprised by the clear/direct murder shown on screen ( as opposed to death off screen where...

    D&D 5E (2014) Human Racial Benefits

    For me, it's not a matter of stronger/weaker option, but rather whatever character I'm making and which seems more appropriate for the concept and mood I'm in at that time.

    D&D 5E (2014) Making a 5E invoker

    The first question to ask is what are the core things that define the invoker. But because I'm tired I'll leave this more general and say, a subclass of warlock has possibilities but might require the most work. I tend to opt for simplicity, so if it were me I'd do cleric with particular...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Edition: How to Make My DM Cry

    It was a joke - a reference to an episode of the show Community where they played a game of d&d.
