    D&D 5E (2014) Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    I have adapted these rules for my new 5E Star Wars game I'll be starting soon. I left the classes at 10 levels, and have adopted the mindset of the old E6 Rules (D&D 3E, wherein 6th level was the highest you could go, after which you picked a feat every time you would 'level up'). I simply went...

    D&D 5E (2014) Existential Crisis With The Life Cleric

    I was helping one of my players update his character sheet [High Elf, Cleric w/ Life Domain] upon leveling up, and something jumped out at me, leading to a slight existential crisis: The Disciple of Life and Blessed Healer class features both use the term ‘spell level’ when talking about a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Encounter Building - Adventuring Day XP Budget?

    Good article (except the part where he calls the problem “bad DMing”), and I hear what you’re saying. The 5 Minute Workday, and the players controlling pacing, is why I have adopted the Milestone Rest System. I, the DM, decide when a Rest is a Rest [note the capitalization there, the Party is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Encounter Building - Adventuring Day XP Budget?

    I have started using a milestone Resting System: "Resting is governed by a milestone system. Approximately every third of an adventuring day qualifies the Party for a rest: Short, Short, and Long. For example, if the party at their current level, can be expected to face 24000xp worth of...

    Critical Hits, Fails, & Luck: New Card Accessories for D&D 5E

    For the critical hit element, I instituted a rule some time ago called the Armor Check. If an ogre rolls a critical hit on the Fighter, the Fighter gets to make an Armor Check to turn that critical into a normal hit: he rolls a d20 and adds his armor defense rating (+1 for leather armor, +3...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Intent of the Forbiddance Spell

    In the last paragraph of the Forbiddance spell, it says: "If you cast forbiddance every day for 30 days in the same location, the spell lasts until it is dispelled, and the material components are consumed on the last casting." Do you think the intent of the spell is: - a) only 1000gp of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making Chase Rules... that actually do what they're supposed to!

    Can you elaborate on the "Star Wars success/failure dice"?

    D&D 5E (2014) Making Chase Rules... that actually do what they're supposed to!

    Love the idea of these..! I ran a chase a couple weeks ago with a modified version of the DMG rules, and it just wasn't as cool as I'd hoped. The only problem I have is that I don't care for the group checks. I like the idea of each PC deciding on how much they want to invest in the chase...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revivify - where did that come from?!?

    I forgot where I got this (interwebs, and I made a few modifications myself...), but I use the following: "The standard Dungeons & Dragons rules for returning from the dead via spells like Revivify, Raise Dead, Resurrection, and True Resurrection do not impose enough of a penalty. In order to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Older En5ider Content

    How the heck do I get older content off of En5ider?!? I found an article, but it says: "Give Chase is now available to Patrons on the Creations tab!". I don't see a Creations Tab anywhere on the site...... If it matters, I have been a Patron since it started.

    D&D 5E (2014) Exploration and Social Interaction Challenges Discussion

    Just a mental-click-assumption on my part. I mean, she's the cook, she can slip all sorts of stuff into your food. I just had a mental picture of her putting some horrible diarrhea-inducing paste in somebody's bowl of soup after they crossed her...
