    D&D 5E (2014) New game for me. Is this acceptable?

    Hey guys. I'm just beginning play with a new group. Rules are standard point buy, campaign begins at 5th level. I can choose one uncommon magic item to start. Suggested items are: Wand of Magic Detection, Ring of Evasion, Ring of Fire Resistance, Headband of Intellect, Keoghtom’s Ointment...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anybody know of an online point buy calculator?

    Thanks! I don't know if that first one isn't mobile-friendly, but it just isn't working. Plus, the stats go up to 18, which is weird.

    Pathfinder 1E Do Inquisitors need to be so serious?

    I'm thinking of a Dwarf Inquisitor of Cayden Cailean. I always thought Cayden would be the perfect deity for a cleric who wasn't too serious, and it would be a ton of fun to play. But when I think Inquisitor (which I kind of want to try just because I ever have), I think of the historical...

    Pathfinder 1E I have a Pathfinder society character. Please look and see if I can/should change anything.

    Hey guys. I have a PFS character who just received enough to advance to 2nd level. I know you can edit the character as much as you'd like before advancing to 2nd level, and I've edited this character each game. So, this is what I'm considering going with: Half Elf Paladin 1/Cleric 1...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druids in 5e: how do I optimize them?

    Juuuust wondering. I'm being pigeonholed into playing one. Which is cool. But I don't know the mechanics of making a decent one. What race? Any skills or feats I should aim for?

    Pathfinder 1E Need a little help with choosing a character for Pathfinder Society (don't worry, I have some guidelines within)

    Yes, I'm going to use a reach weapon. Sorry, I meant to put that in the original post. Yes, this character will be using a reach weapon. I looooove reach weapons, and while I know something like the Horsechopper is probably slightly better, the Glaive just works thematically because it's the...

    Pathfinder 1E Need a little help with choosing a character for Pathfinder Society (don't worry, I have some guidelines within)

    If you want to fight, heal, and have social skills, be a Paladin. Diplomacy is the best social skill IMHO, they have full BAB, and you can slap whatever armor you want on them. WIS is your dump stat. You won't be a great healer, but you can certainly heal after combat with a wand...

    Wanna See Some Awesome GIANTSLAYER Art?

    I like both, but prefer the first as well. The only, extremely minor thing I haven't liked in PF art, is a lot of it featuring oversized weapons.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Bard: College of Lore or Valor?

    The cool thing about getting heavy armor and being a dwarf is the heavy armor doesn't matter. Dwarves don't get any slower.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Bard: College of Lore or Valor?

    I was trying to build a character that could cover a lot of party roles. I came up with a Bard (College of Lore) who dips one level into Cleric (Life). You get better healing, you get Heavy Armor (if you want it), and simple weapons (be an elf or dwarf if you want more weapons). Lots of skills...

    Pathfinder 1E Is there something special to Pathfinder?

    Interesting. I joined something called "Pathfinder Society" I guess it's an organized game or something. Sounds like powergaming to me, but whatever. I can role play a power character too. Wish me luck!

    Pathfinder 1E Is there something special to Pathfinder?

    Let me start by saying: I will play D&D in any of its forms and enjoy it. It's about role playing. The mechanics for each system are mechanics, but the story is the most fun. Okay, now that that's out, a little history: I started playing the basic set when I was a kid in the 80's. The one with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Vicious Mockery: the Mockings

    Threads like these make me wish we didn't have a 13 year old at the table.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does "Unarmoured Defense" work with Druids who are shapechanged?

    Just wondering. I thought a one level dip for a Moon Druid into Monk might be a pretty decent way to increase the effectiveness of the animal forms.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleric domains: is there a power gamers choice?

    What makes the Trickster so good? I was thinking the fact that you can essentially ignore two stats (STR & DEX)would boost the dwarf nature cleric.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleric domains: is there a power gamers choice?

    remember that Dwarves' speed is not reduced by heavy armor.
