    Dragonlance Joe Manganelio is Writing the D&D Movie? And Is it DRAGONLANCE?

    If it is sci-fi, Dr. Izzt would work fine, or DR. Urden if you want to be less obvious.

    D&D 5E (2014) What Am I In For With This Party?

    Actually, we had insane Cha output, so we stayed out of trouble pretty well. I did take a good bit of damage, and died (later revivified), but I blame that on myself. Got cocky and went off alone, and forgot to take advantage of my Green Lord Gift invocation, so I wasn't getting as much healing...

    Dragonlance Joe Manganelio is Writing the D&D Movie? And Is it DRAGONLANCE?

    So far as I can tell, the general reason people hate him is not because he is actually bad, but because so many people copy him, creating "Drips, the Drow Fighter( Who trained a Panther)", "Drazt, the Drow Ranger, with a panther", "Drozt, the Drow Rogue, with a panther", and so on. Never read...

    Dragonlance Joe Manganelio is Writing the D&D Movie? And Is it DRAGONLANCE?

    From the little I remember, I think it would have worked well as a duo. The first movie could have ended just after Bilbo got the ring. There might have been a little bit of addition to the story, but not nearly as much has the three movies took.

    D&D 5E (2014) Misty Step in manacles?

    On the contrary, I think I might be misunderstanding you. I previously thought you were saying that, if someone were manacled to a wall, their misty step would fail to function at all. If that was not your stance, I apologize, because that was what I was arguing against. If it was your stance...

    D&D 5E (2014) Misty Step in manacles?

    I am fully ok with it leaving behind all of your clothes as well as the manacles, maybe even allow my players to pick. Keep everything, or keep nothing. My point before was simply that the Manacles being attached to a wall should have no effect on your ability to teleport, because it is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Misty Step in manacles?

    If it wasn't at least partly meant for escaping bonds it wouldn't have a verbal only component. It also says nothing about anything stopping the teleport. One could certainly rule, by the rules of their world, that certain materials stop the teleportation from happening, but that is not by RAW...

    D&D 5E (2014) Misty Step in manacles?

    I wouldn't rule the spell to fail, because escaping bonds is one of it's main purposes. My reasoning is, if they want to contain spell casters, all they have to do is also gag them. No Somatic and no Verbal components means No spells. This is assuming they know about casters, or at least know...

    5e Homebrew Setting: Malebolge, Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy

    That sounds like a reasonable twist. Sorry for not assisting on this as much lately, have had a lot of chaos and only more to look forward to. Also been working on my own world a bit, so I have not been in the right frame of mind for a different world.

    D&D 5E (2014) Proposed Fix for Whack-a-Mole Healing

    Actually, I think the OP solution does fix the problem. Problem 1: Healers wait until a PC goes down to heal them. Result/Problem 2: PC who was healed from 0 has low health, and goes down again quickly. Solutions: Resistance to healing, which will make healing from 0 much less appealing...

    D&D 5E (2014) Oh god, not goblins again...

    That was a massive over-arching storyline, where Orcs were a mighty host of terror. This is D&D, where goblins should have realistically died off long ago, and would have if they didn't breed like rabbits and survive like rats. Not to mention, Frodo and Sam only ever seemed to reach level 2 or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Oh god, not goblins again...

    Duergar or Drow could also work, IIRC, though I make no promises on the party survivability. You might check out Volo's guide, it has some nice fresh monsters. Failing that, you can grab the starting area from a different adventure, that doesn't involve goblins, and tie it in the same way as SKT...

    Aye, me and Cosmic moved beyond Warlocks being evil a couple pages back. Now we are on the subject of the Patrons themselves.

    D&D 5E (2014) adjusting 5E zombies to be like walkers?

    I don't really see them getting tougher. When agitated, walkers try harder. Since they will already be agitated at the beginning of the fight, you can cover this with something like extra attacks, or harder hitting attacks. The disease is easy. If they drop a Humanoid to 0 hit points, and it...

    D&D 5E (2014) How to surprise my players with an unexpected monster?

    Man, a Dragon with Portent sounds scary. that could be two more legendary resistances, or an automatic saving throw failure for one of the players.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Starter Spells; Plus UA Returning To Monthly & Sage Advice Returning

    By "Don't put much stock in that" I meant it the same way as "I don't put much stock in the Salem witch trials." The fact that magic doesn't exist is irrelevant to the point, which is that all sorts of people disapprove of all sort of things, and one person/group of peoples name for that thing...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Starter Spells; Plus UA Returning To Monthly & Sage Advice Returning

    Just googled Warlock Definition. "A man who practices Witchcraft; A sorcerer". Nothing about Evil. The Merriam-Webster site says it is "A man who practices the Black Arts", but that is what all magic that wasn't "Cleric" based was called, so I don't put much stock in that. Looked through all of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock Thoughts (Spell Points, Invocations, Blade Pact)

    I like the riders on the "Smite" invocations, but actually dislike the smite itself. I would like them better if they dealt a flat bit of extra damage, maybe something like an extra d8, plus the rider. Possibly make it more like a cantrip, so the bonus die increases at set times, though in a way...

    D&D 5E (2014) How much Upfront?

    Well, cherry picking is alread ya real thing, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. As long as an ability does not harmonize with too many other things to make them all OP it should be fine. After all, even Action Surge gets a pass, despite being a massive power boost. As far as I can see, the...
