    D&D 5E (2014) No Magic Shops!

    Every dungeon should have a magic item shop on every level or you are playing the game wrong. How else do monsters get all the items adventurer's find on them? Also, every item should be clearly labeled and identified ... and cost more than the party's total wealth. No matter how many times...

    D&D 5E (2014) Vet this spell please?

    Eh. It's basically a slightly worse version of Mage Armor when cast with a lvl 2 spell slot (cause you are glowing and making yourself a target), and a slightly better version of Mage Armor when cast with a level 3 spell slot (because it's +1 AC). Having the AC increase once only when cast in...

    D&D 5E (2014) The "Stop Trying to Impose Your Playstyle" Argument

    Stop trying to impose your debating style on me! :rant:

    Considerations with season 1/2 characters jumping into new season

    Well, don't let them die and don't get any "reduce your maximum HP" effects because those become permanent until the death curse is removed for that character. I have a 6th level barbarian who is permanently down 18 HP (until the death curse is gone) due to a run in with a vampire.

    D&D 5E (2014) Four Elements Monk - To buff or not to buff?

    Another option I've considered is to allow the 4-Elements monk to better mix their ki magic and martial arts: Whenever they use their action for a ki spell, they can make an bonus action unarmed attack or spend 1 ki point for flurry of blows. You may still want to reduce the ki point cost...

    We'll have to agree to disagree on this point. I don't think there is any "honor" by charging extra DT to play season 4 mods in between other seasons mods. But our opinions don't really matter. It's up to the admins, and so far they have chosen to lessen the penalty, but not remove it.

    I did not share your experience or pleasure with Barovia. I found season 4 pretty underwhelming myself. But - I thought the "Trapped in Barovia" thing was appropriate when Season 4 was the active season. But its time has passed. PC's are no longer "Trapped in Barovia", they are just...

    That made some sense when season 4 was the active season. But that was two years ago. There is no 'Barovia' cred anymore. Now it is literally just a waste of time.

    What is *worldbuilding* for?

    Yeah, now I'm pretty sure you are just trolling people. No one is this dense.

    What is *worldbuilding* for?

    You mean you thwarted player agency by having secret information in the form of pre-generated worlds that would trigger GM narration when the players traveled there - instead of letting the players impose their will on the fiction by declaring what kind of worlds they wanted to find.

    Please remove Demiplane of Dread Story Award next season

    I'm really not sure how "making it minorly inconvenient to play an adventure from a different season after you play a Season 4" equates to "makes the adventures feel fresh and new" when the season 4 module is 2+ years old, but at least someone is happy. :) I'm not bothered much either way. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) A single +1 armor for a level 10 party

    The HC adventures give out way more treasure than the guidelines. At least two give out legendary weapons by level 5, and one gives out two legendary items aroun lvl 8 to 10. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using EN World mobile app

    It is entirely relevant. It's kind of why there are complaints about the DT cost for leaving barovia. Season 4 ended years ago. No one is playing in that season. Just mods here and here as they are offered. That's kind of the problem. Not if they are only running Tier 2 from Barovia...

    D&D 5E (2014) A single +1 armor for a level 10 party

    I completely ignore the guidelines in the DMG and Xanathar's guide. I give out whatever I feel is appropriate or think will be interesting to see in play. I even give all the PC's an extra feat at first level. Of course, I also pretty much ignore the CR guidelines and give monsters feats and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Make Up a Goblin Fact

    9. Goblins are incredibly vulnerable to magic. Casting any spell on them, even a normally harmless or beneficial one, causes them to die...and then their body explodes in a fountain of blood and viscera.

    D&D 5E (2014) No Magic Shops!

    I vastly prefer gift cards or even straight up cash to receiving someone else's guess at that I might like, since they are usually wrong. :p But this is not a binary situation - the presence of a magic item shop doesn't mean you suddenly stop finding magic items. It just means you have a way...

    Character Portability has long been a major reason for Organized Play - from Living City to Living Greyhawk to Pathfinder to Adventure League. The ability to play the same character at home, at game days, and at conventions, with friends or with strangers. Pauper's point that it is not "The...

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew Monster: Prismatic Hydra

    Quickleaf seems to assume everyone is going to fail their saves against every single beam attack, every round. Not likely. I set the damage to be "all or nothing" - either you get hit by the beam or you don't. Plus, the prismatic heads won't target the same creature (too chaotic) so the...
