I love the d12. From time to time it will roll a 1 or 2 for damage. These occasions feel no worse than rolling the same on a d6 or d8. Then you will get a 10, 11, or 12. Something about rolling double digits on a single die is just incredibly fun. Sure your greatsword deals an average of 0.5...

Crafting is a downtime activity where work is completed in 5gp increments each day if the character is proficient in the relevant artisan's tools. The character must expend half that in consumed resources to purchase supplies. Crystal, 10gp (2 days) - glassblower's tools, jeweler's tools Orb...

I feel it is important to note that if Bladesong were to set base AC rather than being an additional bonus, it and Mage Armour would be mutually exclusive. To me, a wizard subclass focused on combat that prevents effective use of such an iconic defensive spell feels all kinds of wrong (in the...

This is a character who breaks into peoples' homes*, brutally beats or murders them, then steals everything of value that they had. The theft in this situation is a pittance compared to the murder. Given that this is being done outside of his duties as a law officer, I can only assume that the...

At level 6, bards gain an additional spell. Bestow Curse is a bard spell. I think that Aura of Vitality and Fireball came from Magical Secrets, and Bestow Curse came from leveling up.

It looks interesting. Other than two things that I have problems with, it's great. First, I noticed was that Extra Attack wasn't listed with the other features. After reading the whole document I wondered why the ranger only got one attack. It wasn't until I looked back at the chart I saw it...

Then when you reach level 8 you will be able to boost both Str and Cha since they would both be odd. It takes longer for the reward, but it is something to consider. Although it is not on your list, I would suggest Inspiring Leader. It will give you less THP per short rest than Tough grants HP...

I spent the last two weeks trying to figure out what should be the final threat in a long abandoned crypt/shrine devoted to Bhaal. An insane cleric kept from death without food or drink for three hundred years should be fun. A Gollum-like fixation on eating flesh coupled with the unhinged nature...

"You mop up the remaining skeletons with ease." *rolls* "As you do so, Julian and Esator each get shot by a skeleton for 4 and 5 damage respectively. The shattered remants of the skeletons litter the floor. What do you do next?" I generally give the enemies a final turn each, omitting some if I...

When your entire argument hinges on the druid's HP being different to the wildshape's HP, it really helps when the book doesn't explicitly state that "you assume the beast's hit points" upon wildshaping. Furthermore, the sentence that mentions reverting says that it occurs "if you fall...

I'm going to have to drop. My computer just decided that it was too cool to function properly, and I won't be able to run to the library often enough to play. If I manage to repair it before someone else takes the spot then I will play, but for now it would be best to assume that I won't be able...

I'll be number four if he doesn't want to. I'd like to play an aasimar, if allowed. I saw you banned tieflings, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask first. Human would work as an alternative. I'll be a Death domain cleric named Feraza'ali. From my greatest of grandfathers, to my father...

When the mummy lord has animate dead, why is it ever alone? Surely your party isn't the first group of explorers to try pilfering this tomb. A half dozen zombies blocking the paladin should buy at least a round, especially if they are armoured. For consideration, look at the Diderius, the mummy...

A black dome is functionally identical to darkness*, with a reduced radius. Objects passing through an illusion reveals that the illusory object are not solid. In most cases this is sufficient evidence to believe it to be illusory since an illusion is generally of a solid object. Since magical...

This can't be emphasized enough. There's an arcane tricker in one of my games who uses silent image to create "an opaque, black hemisphere with a diameter of 15 feet." Because he cast the spell and therefore knows that it is an illusion, he can see through it. The end result is constant...

Dominate Person. Now my wizard can rewrite the laws of reality AND hit things really hard with pointy bits of metal. The fighter just didn't stand a chance.

Although the exact numbers are probably irrelevant, twenty million miles is pretty much nothing in astronomical terms. That's slightly more than halfway from the sun to Mercury, almost a quarter the distance from the sun to the Earth, or a mere 0.5% of the distance from the sun to Pluto. For...

I'm a huge fan of the exhaustion table on PHB 291.

Don't forget the Moon Druid's Thousand Forms at 14th level. Unlimited 2nd level Alter Self. It's a good thing that slot-less spellcasting doesn't grants slots for smiting or that would make for a powerful paladin. Any paladin with unlimited 3d8 smites would be terrifying.

I run it with a very simple, very open technique. Suppose the party is low on resources, HP, and has an unconscious character. They are surrounded by orcs and looking at probably defeat. The orc captain will tell them to lay down their weapons or they will be torn to shreds. His intimidate...
