    D&D 5E (2014) Are monks proficient in Unarmed Strikes?

    Sorry. Just checked and you can silver any weapon. I'm really not sure why unarmed strikes aren't weapons, really. After all, it's not like your hands and feet are weapons all the time. Only when you hit people with them. The rest of the time, you'd be doing more damage to yourself than your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Caster feats

    There's always Tough. +2 HP per level can be helpful when dealing with the Wizards d6 Hit Dice. I know the Abjurer already has the Ward subclass feature, but it's not foolproof: big hits or concentrated attacks from multiple opponents can blow through it. On top of that, one of the Abjurers'...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e completely nerfed charm - for YOU, anyway

    Actually, one of my favorite possible reactions to the Friends cantrip wearing off is for the victim to cast Friends right back at the character, and then convince them to do something incredibly stupid.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e completely nerfed charm - for YOU, anyway

    They just aren't the psychotic and reckless types. :D Don't worry. Joker is friends with everybody he kills. They're in on the joke.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e completely nerfed charm - for YOU, anyway

    It sounds like a joke, but some people really will murder friends at the drop of a hat. Evil alignment for the win!

    D&D 5E (2014) Why no Proficiency bonus to AC?

    What if... When PCs leveled up, they also got fatter? The amount of fat on their bodies could represent the amount of HP they have, and grievous wounds could now be dismissed as 'It's nothing, it just hit your belly.' I want to add a smiley to this, but I don't which one is appropriate.

    D&D 5E (2014) Guns with a kick! Effect on game world?

    Divide armors into two new types: bullet resistant and not. Not has a set AC of, I don't know, 10 vs. people with guns. Resistant gets to keep it's AC. You could either make up new armors entirely, or decide that the old armors can just have additional padding built into them or magic or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ravenloft NPC reactions to the various PC races

    The Domains of Dread have a tendency to drag PCs and villains (and entire geographic regions! See: Barovia) in from anywhere in any DnD setting. So as far as I know, any and all creatures can be found in the realm of the Dark Powers. How people react to each other is of course, totally...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Skills whats your opinion

    Athletics broad capabilities skew the entire skill system. It's by far more useful than every other skill in 5E, simply in terms of the many, many different activities it permits characters to engage in (swimming, running, jumping, wrestling, climbing, and marathoning. If DnD had bikes and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why are Derro weapons so stupid?

    So that the PCs will kill them and take their stuff.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Skills whats your opinion

    Athletics is mechanically too strong. Acrobatics is fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Skills whats your opinion

    I dislike the athletics skill. Taking away from it results in an annoying system with lots of unnecessary skills . Leaving it as is makes it too strong. It needs an optional rule for breaking the athletics skills into many smaller skills.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ravenloft and the Shadowfell

    Shadowfells DMG page literally calls out the Domains of Dread as a part of the plane. Pg 51.

    Free DM's Guild Five-Star Freebies

    You can always just put in a 0 in the Pay What You Want price area, and if you like it, you can come back and purchase it again to give money to the people who made it.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Psionics and Mystics Take Two

    Interesting... I like the way they breakdown the powers into disciplines of related abilities. Not so happy about the Psi Point progression. 4 to 6 to 14 to 17 to 27? What the heck are they doing?

    D&D 5E (2014) Community Content Enforcement in the DM's Guild (Does it literally even?)

    They're probably using this to collect data on what people find most confusing about the DMs guild content policies before making some kind of big announcement and cleaning up the site. Unless no one cares. Then they won't do anything at all. I mean, if it doesn't bother anyone, then why bother...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is silence pointless?

    Maybe Silence should get a permanent version houserule in my campaign.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is silence pointless?

    Oh yeah. Like, if your hand blocked the spell, then moved, the spell would go past where your hand used to be. Just like how a Lightning Bolt travels through where its victims used to be.
