    D&D 5E (2014) Making a Kobold Barbarian!

    Whelp, thanks to this thread necromancy, I now have two ideas for Kobold characters. One is a Kobold necromancer, trying to find ways to resurrect his lost(massacred) tribe. And the second is a Kobold Monk who is looking for enlightenment in all the wrong places.

    Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Hot Off The Press

    Front page news posts seem to lack the XP options. The full post in the forums will still have the XP and Laugh options. Welcome back. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Aura of the Guardian against damage that drops the paladin to 0?

    Players can take their reaction in response to attacks, or other stimuli. But that is an excellent question. Does he drop to 0 hp, and as he is doing so shield his friend and ally, saving him. Or do they drop simultaneously. The trigger says taking damage, might work, may rule it gives an...

    Is Primus a Great God or Overgod in 5e?

    So, going back to Primus, I'm sure he has an opposite number, bringer of chaos, tempter of Rogue modrons, perhaps named Unicron...

    Forgotten Realms - Would You Be Interested in an Adventure Set in Abeir?

    I would love to see Abeir detailed and given some adventures, but I also want to get more updated Eberron, would like to see some kind of 5th ed Nerath source book, and there are too many awesome settings to speak of beyond that, that I'd like to see updated. I'm a bit of a setting junkie...

    To MAX HP or not to MAX HP

    I give players the option to either use the half value default for hp, or risk rolling. As for Monsters, I usually use the default HP, but I roll for everything else(att/dmg/saves). Maybe if you are using the max values, you can use the max damage...(or maybe 2/3 or 3/4 max) or just the default...

    Trying to identify a deckbuilding game

    DC Deckbuilder, Marvel Legendary ( I recommend the fully Co-Op Legendary Encounters {Aliens, Firefly, Predator, in that order} or the stand alone Big Trouble in Little China, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) But there is another that is really good ( better than the DC one in my opinion, and on par...

    AD&D 2E What PF2E means for D&D5E

    I think that PF2 will draw on ideas and concepts learned from 5E D&D, and some of the mechanics used in Starfinder, but maybe with further adjustments. Much of the basics laid out so far in short form seem to correspond to stuff I've skimmed through my reading of my SF book. And I think even a...

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

    If the DM is nice, perhaps it allows a Sleight of Hand(int) check or an Arcana check when using Misty Step to extricate oneself during the misty step. The DC being equal to the normal pick lock check value?

    TPK: Should I let it happen? Am I being fair?

    I'm hoping in the next campaign the new characters get to deal with the devastation and destruction left in the wake of the released demon. Small portals letting lose small demons and raising death/ghosts. If you come across a situation where souls are being consumed again, when the PC's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Andre the Giant, a Goliath among men?

    The IMDB entry puts him between 7' and 7'4" http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000764/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm I'd easily put him in the same class as Goliaths if I were to stat him up for DND.

    Death Penalty as "Transformation": Alterations to Raise Dead

    Older editions had a spell called Reincarnation. While you were brought back from the dead, your race would likely change. You could look into that. As for Raise dead spells, keep in mind that coming back from the dead requires the soul to want to return, or able to do so. Some options for...

    Where Do They Come From?

    Hadn't heard of the naming of the 'Mindy method' for the Why Cubed, asking Why three times to follow the thread to a base that's possible, and can provide other avenues. That combined with the basics of Who, How, What, & Where. Starting either small or big, these can help, along with some...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the caster know if a spell target makes their save?

    Depends on the campaign style I suppose. For simplicity sake, yes, the magic user would/should know, and could tell by the reaction of both the failure of their magic, and potentially the reaction(usually hostile) of the NPC. In an Intrigue/Socially Political game where hiding intentions may...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does "Nondetection" cancel out see invis?

    Usually when scrying you require or create a device that looks for you and reports back the visual information. Non-Detection edits that magical video feed to not show you. It also makes it so you can't be directly targeted to find you either. So a person could attempt to track you down...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does "Nondetection" cancel out see invis?

    True Seeing and See Invisible doesn't target a specific creature/person, and they don't create scrying sensors, use scrying devices, so shouldn't be affected/blocked by Non-Detection. The spells reveal/strip away the Inivisibility condition and allows the user to see properly. Since once the...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Proper Ability Score Generation Preference Poll

    Depends on the style of game I want to run. For Adv. League, I ask the players to stick to the Standard Array to try and have a level playing field for both players and DM's. In home games, I ususally like a slightly more powered game with 4d6 drop the lowest, re-roll 1's once, in order. But...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should D&D go away from ASIs?

    I like the idea that feats grant improvements to stats and other abilities. I think the idea of just ability score improvements are lacking, but like that your character can improve/hone their base attributes. Perhaps extending the stat improvements to all feats in some form. Maybe each feat...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there any indication that WotC will launch a new setting?

    Even if we don't see a full campaign book, perhaps a Sword Coast style book, or Adventure module set in the other settings. My preference would be Eberron, with side bars to integrate it to FR, Greyhawk, DL and so forth. We've sorta had modules that could be transposed to Greyhawk from the FR...

    D&D 5E (2014) Survival and Exhaustion in ToA: need a good house rule.

    We usually think of Forest as Temperate Deciduous Forest or Temperate Coniferous Forest vs. Tropical Rainforest (Jungle) I'd say if he picked forest, I'd have him narrow it down to the characters origin location. Also, it's probably unfamiliar terrain and thus resources are more difficult to...
