I voted for every race to be eliminated except humans. Most of the lore and characterization of the other become a noxious mess. Then they invent a new race to fill a niche that is already filled or nonexistent. Afterward they get retconned and shoehorned into existence in various settings...

I would have picked Gilgeam (Gilgamesh) because of the awesomeness of his beard. I opted for Bhaal because he left me a nifty throne and demiplane.

I agree with Bawylie. My first thought was of the Dragonlord from the NES release called Dragon Warrior in the states. Starts out wizardly then transforms into a dragon during the fight. Drow form dressed in finery as normal for drow but when hit by damaging spells or weapons a flash of green...

When I DM I usually impose very few restrictions. Half races and such are the easiest thing to remove. Truthfully they are not really much of anything at all. Most of the campaign worlds out there say yeah they are where you might expect them. By and large they aren’t numerous or monolithic...

I would just use my best judgement given the circumstances. If kobolds built it they don’t build to squeeze. I would figure you are squeezing if you are forced to duck or if you must turn sideways to move. I.E. if you are 6’ and you enter a room with a 5 foot high ceiling you are squeezing...

A heist will almost never be the players plan. To make a heist you need NPC’s. You need some or all of the following. 1: A Target 2: An NPC that can let the party know the target exists. This NPC May have a plan already or may know a key ingredient to acquire the target. 3: NPC’s that want...

I did this for one of the best sessions I’ve ever ran (run?). It was for experienced tabletop players that wanted to try 5e. I wanted to showcase the system. So I picked a handful of subsystems that I wanted to highlight based on the character classes present. (Rest, combat, skills and so on) I...

I would say the size and frequency of the adventures causes a large amount of saturation. I have many older modules that are smaller and easy enough to splice into my campaigns. I would add that the themes of the adventures put out are too limiting.

Toadstool King

I tried to give XP to clearstream but I’m not sure it took. FWIW I usually assume my fellow players misunderstood a rule heaven knows how often I do it. Some players definitely overreach though. I do try to understand the rules as they are written as a courtesy and to ease communication...

Let’s take this apart and see. Grapple : using the Attack Action you may make a grapple check. If you have Extra Attack you may use this instead of one attack. Martial Arts: if you make an attack with a monk weapon or an Unarmed Strike you may make an additional Unarmed Strike as a bonus...

Thanks Scary, but I don’t use discord. This is my preferred medium. I agree with you Quickleaf the character sheets out there need revision. The one you posted looks a lot like the one I have been brewing in my head. I may start a thread on character sheet philosophy where instead of custom...

Thanks for all the replies. We are all having fun. I feel like we could have more fun if we could just move a little more quickly. In their defense they are higher level ranging from 10-16. That being said they bog down remembering how to attack, inflict damage and use skills. (Spells are...

Help, My players don’t know how to play. I have 6 players. Two understand how to play. The others have been playing from between two years and four years. I think that is adequate time to get a grip on the most basic rules. I still find myself reminding them how to calculate attack bonus when...

Ram has been my favorite since Shadows of Amn.

What makes D&D is the meta game. It’s a game based on a game pretending to be war.

One of my all time favorites.

Go to other dimensions and fight gods or demons sounds pretty limited to me.

I understood that this would be the outcome from the beginning.
