I don't do magic items with a bonus of +2 or higher. All magic weapons, armor, and shields have a +1 bonus that is the limit and they have other fun things to spice them up. Don't roll for ability scores, it skews things worse, just use point buy or the array. Give opponents greater than...

The mount can use it's action to Disengage for the round and non of it's movement provokes attacks of opportunity for that turn. If the mount doesn't provoke an AoO neither does the rider, because movement that doesn't use your movement, action, or reaction doesn't provoke.

That my good sir is cheating. Put a stop to it. Get something like a boardgame box or better yet something lined with felt like a chess set storage box and tell everyone they have to roll in it, place it in the center of the table so you can see. If you don't see the roll it didn't happen.

Not exactly they asked a bunch of questions and expected answers too that are not covered by the rules. All I did was point out what is and is not covered by the rules. Also if the OP did indeed want help making house rules there is a separate forum for that. So unless you are the OP why...

Your mount moves, and takes either the Dash, Dodge, or Disengage action. You make all your attacks with your Attack action, yes if you have 11 levels in fighter you can make 3 lance attacks. You can even take the Dual Wielder feat and use a lance in your off hand and attack with it as a bonus...

I think the Unearthed Arcana articles they are releasing for free should count as some new content. http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/ and enter "Unearthed Arcana" in the search filter. From those playtest documents we have We have 5 new subclasses: Artificer, Spell Less Ranger...

Denying spell resistance isn't a nerf to the ability. It is not using a rules variant, and there is good justification for not using the rules variant. The Mark combat option variant is amazing for rogues, as it allows a second off turn attack without using your reaction, not allowing that...

Familiars are just spirits in the form of other creatures not those creatures. You can have a celestial imp, a fiendish sprite, or a fey quasit. The variant familiar rules in the monster manual are if those non-spirit creatures want to bond with a spellcaster in a voluntary partnership, and...

It is supposed to be 10 minutes and a limit of one animal at a time. http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/01/16/bag-of-tricks-errata/

Monsters also have save or die effects. Solar bow attack, Beholder death ray, Death Tyrant death ray, Demilich energy drain, Clay Golem slam attack, Mummy Rot, Will-o-Wisp consume life, and others.

Most fighters have a third attack from a bonus action either through feats or dual wielding by 5th level.

There is a strong Shadowrun influence in this art, those devil rats are right out of the sprawl, the neon signs and gun turret also add to the effect.

What I have found works best from previous Darksun games, is treat the weapons listed in the PHB as the 'bone' or weak weapon materials. Since magic items are rare and so is metal, just have any metal weapons that show up get some kind of bonus to damage, or are less subject to breakage.

I would rather give my familiar a Wand of Magic Missiles, Bag of Tricks, Necklace of Fireballs, or other interesting magic item that doesn't constitute an attack to use so you can have all your normal actions and have your familiar do a significant amount of damage.

How much music do you expect in whatever fraction of a six second round the bard's action on his turn takes? The only requirement is that they have the instrument in hand, so pick a small instrument like a flute, horn, tambourine, maraca, or something similar and use it the same way other...

Chatkcha is obviously using dexterity for attack and damage, that either means it is classified as a "ranged weapon" which all use dexterity by default, or it is a melee thrown weapon with finesse. Since it is in a monster stat block and not listed as a separate weapon we don't know for sure...

To me it is clear you suffer the effects immediately and need to save out of them, this makes the spell an enemy killer in fact a legendary monster killer as their auto save ability doesn't help prevent the stun lock for those first couple rounds. I haven't had a player cast the spell yet, and...

Yes I do, and no they are not necessary. They provide another selection of options, every available option means you can customise/optimize your character more. I enjoy both customizing and optimizing so I like feats as a DM and as a player. But they are not necessary, I think high level...

A big tiger used in a fighting pit with kobolds or goblins who throw spears and nets at the characters. Give the tiger some extra h.p maybe some scars and a missing eye (something they might be able to exploit to their advantage), have the goblins or kobolds come in waves to harass them and...

If and it is a huge "If" I were to ever introduce an npc close to the capabilities of Drizzt to one of my campaigns I would stat him up like a Legendary Monster not a PC. No class levels, just attacks, special abilities, legendary actions, more hit points than the whole party combined, he would...
