Just to be clear, it doesn't follow the "making an attack" guidelines simply because it is worded to state "You can direct the beams at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each beam." Nothing within the spell description suggests treating it as separate...

1. I am quite certain this sentence is about as useful as a D12. 2. Barbarian hit points would be just fine on D10. 3. I am not sure anyone proficient in the English language is entirely sure what you mean. 4. I say this, again with quite some certainty, that nobody would shed a tear because...

Tbh the biggest assumption is that each beam hits at a different time period, thus creating additional triggers. If you direct multiple beams at the same foe, why would the foe suffer multiple trigger conditions from the beams? They are hit, suffer the 10' knockback, then when you check to push...

We all know the people who love D12s need to show their affection for it because it's such a worthless dice, while the useful dice are always there. If they eliminated both the D4 and the D12 I am sure DnD would only get better!

I don't mean to be harsh but you seem to have dug yourself into a hole. Rather than digging yourself out, remember you are DM and simply pretend the hole wasn't there in the first place. Talk to your friend and explain the situation, suggest that you made a mistake and he is simply too powerful...

It costs 1 Feat to gain proficiency in 3 skills, so assuming you allow feats there is already an option for them to automatically learn skills without spending downtime (which is, in fact, a system in 5th edition to allow for the ability to learn new skills). If you would rather create a more...

8 hours is enough to move the operation. There are 2 paths to take, either the villain can afford to risk confronting the PCs or, as is more likely, the PCs are too powerful and the villain knows it. My advice would be to have the villain flee elsewhere. Pick up their operation and leave...

Bards, Druids, Clerics have access to combat options not entirely derived from spells. For example, Bards can get Extra Attack while Clerics can also gain a limited number of bonus action attacks in the War Domain. Druids obviously have wild shape so that leaves Warlock, Sorc and Wizard. Warlock...

In low-magic, banned spellcaster classes one thing a lot of people don't do is give options to make it a worthwhile change. If you eliminate magic you have to change Rangers and Paladins to enable sufficient variety in classes, or else everyone is stuck playing a Barb, Fighter or Monk. Once you...

Bless adds d4 to the result, not the dice. Thinking it affects the d20 roll is like assuming anyone who has a +5 to hit can critical only if they roll a 15 on the dice. Same with cutting words (unless I am missing somewhere where the d20 is considered "the roll" as opposed to the roll being...

Too many spells are given Somatic Components in DnD. Only ones which really require the action to create the spell (Glyph of Warding or Magic Circle spring to mind) really should've had them which is why if you focus too much on what you can and cannot reasonably do with weapons becomes the kind...

If you are looking to make an interesting story that's one thing, but imagine a player creating a monk with a Str 18, Dex/Wis 10 and then wondering why they were getting hit every time and facing being dead a lot? Or why their character couldn't dodge arrows in a cool manner like other Monks? Or...

Magical Items in general in 5th edition are not handled very well, with Table D offering 7th level scrolls before Table F giving us the first sight of a +1 Shield. Plate Mail at 1500gp is an extension of this issue wherein 5th edition has not paid enough attention to power levels of magical...

One thing to be aware of is a Monk gets the most benefit from Dexterity and Wisdom while a Dragonborn gets bonus Strength and Charisma. This doesn't mean you shouldn't be a dragonborn, it just means be prepared to accept your character will be weaker in combat as a result. You've already been...

I'd consider not having it as a +1, it seems slightly irrelevant for the item and 5th edition has done a job of trying to restrict +X items while replacing them with flavour. I love the idea of an Ego Whip, but consider the following instead: The Whip deals 1d4 psychic damage, instead of...

Are you trying to make this an archetype, or a new class? A lot of the time when people create homebrew they end up making them too strong because they only give abilities with far reaching benefits or combat bonuses - something like the ability to fly when raged is definitely an example of...

I've been watching the tv show Scorpions and I think the lead character there, Walter O'Brien, is an excellent example of this type of Paladin behaviour. His view of "the greater good" is that his friends, co-workers and even random people can be sacrificed to ensure world safety. He would...

I will always change monster hit points when I feel it makes sense. For example, low level monsters with 11hp cannot be taken out by a D10 roll, but if you manage that 10 I don't see why it isn't in the interests of flavour to allow it to knock them out in a single blow.

Ignoring wild shape for a druid protagonist is essentially turning it into a cleric with nature-domain, druids are not just about casting spells but converting from spells to wild shape and back again. The Druid is not limited by physical form and can become a drawn out encounter. Also look at...

Question 7 is too misleading. I knew it costs sorcery points to use a metamagic feat but I definitely did not know the value. I assumed the 2 sorcery point cost was normal, not paying for the spell sniper feat as additional. Please alter the second option so as to say "Yes, but you must pay...
