I have not read through the book, but I have played through this part as a player. And yes, it is very confusing as to what the hell actually happened. But at this point in the adventure we knew about demonic influence, we knew (and had experienced for ourselves) the madness that is running...

The Belt of Dwarvenkind grants a +2 bonus to constitution (with a cap of 20) while you are wearing it and are attuned to it. Mechanically this is identical to an ability score increase you would get by levelling. It's existence could set a precedent to create similar home brew items that raise...

Were vampires previously not lawful evil in D&D? I know that vampires are represented in a million different ways in fiction, but lawful evil always made sense to me. I mean Dracula's plan to terrorize London involved legally purchasing properties so that he could set up his lairs there. If that...

The PC gets stuck in a sinkhole. They must choose to either lose their backpack or suffer 1 level of exhaustion that will carry over to the next session. The PC encounters some pagans that seem friendly. As a peace offering they give them two loaves of sweetened bread. Those that eat the bread...

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the hexblade fluff also hint at how the Raven Queen was responsible for creating the weapons that hexblades make pacts with? If you're a paladin dedicated to the Raven Queen it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to make a pact with one of her weapons. It might...

There's another player in my group that always plays a multiclassed character. So far none of his combinations have seemed really over powered or under powered. Generally he has some goal in mind to focus his abilities on. This is most prominent with his rogue/warlock character that has become...

Baalzebul 2 - 2 = 0 Demogorgon 7 + 1 = 8 All hail the prince of demons!

The character I currently play was involved in a romantic relationship with another PC until the other player had to quit the campaign due to scheduling. I play a human devotion paladin and she played a tiefling wild sorcerer (which sounds bonkers, but they had similar upbringings and their...

I recall that the DMG had tables for dungeons and adventures that included villains, goal of the party, original purpose of the dungeon, and interesting features like portals to other planes. I found that stuff interesting and inspiring so I'd like to see such things in future dungeon...

Adding the skill proficiency to the standard human helps shore up that option and I would personally be quite happy choosing it over the variant. While it still doesn't get any fancy unique abilities, I think the versatility makes up for it. As for the feat option it certainly looks balanced...

I had forgotten that the other oaths got access to misty step as I play an oath of devotion paladin. But this post reminded me that I do have the steed from Find Steed which also greatly helps with movement issues. While not applicable in all situations (it's not worth the hassle in a dungeon)...

The most powerful magic item I've ever had is probably the Shield Guardian Amulet. My wizard had a personal bodyguard affectionately nicknamed Captain Steel that would stick close and protect him from threats that got too close. In my current game my paladin has a homebrew magic weapon that I...

I play a paladin in a group with a cleric, monk, and rogue/warlock where we are currently level 6. I find that the paladin is a strong class as in the combat pillar they fill a lot of roles. Tank, damage and support/healing. This is somewhat offset by how short ranged everything I do is. Smites...

In the transition period between Lost Mines of Phandelvar and Out of the Abyss we had some down time. As we knew our next mission would be to pursue the Spider into the depths of the underdark where he had escaped my wizard had decided to do some research on the place to get to know about some...

How about something like this: As an action you can create a 5 ft cube boulder in a space within 5 ft of you. You can create a number of boulders with this effect equal to your Wisdom modifier at any one time (minimum 1). While you are within 5 ft of the boulder you can use your action to...

I love the idea behind giving each element it's own distinct identity. That being said I'm not a big fan of the direction you took with the Way of Earth. Out of all of the abilities only the move earth cantrip and One with Earth are actually related to earth. All of the other abilities are just...

I think the classes you will have to keep the closest eye on are those that have subclasses that grant a pool of resources on top of what the base class already gets. For example the fighter. If you take both battlemaster and eldritch knight you get two different resource pools granted to you...

You could easily justify giving disadvantage to any roll involved in trying to accomplish something that goes against the paladin's oath. Fluff it as self doubt and conflicting thoughts causing them to hesitate. For example disadvantage on deception checks for devotion paladins attempting to lie...

Then the DM is clearly trying to throw you off guard by giving you useful stuff and you must be on your toes at all times.
