Depends on how you rule the invisibilty of the spell. If it provides a small area that surrounds the user at a distance, like a cloud or small zone that items that pass through turn invisible, than part of it would. If invisibility only turns the person and items carried, than since the rope...

Doesn't matter if the fire touches you or you touch the fire, you get burned. If you grapple, or the Azer grapples you, the fire damage takes place. If you stand 5 ft apart and just talk, there is no contact, and thus no damage. Think of the fire from an Azer as a little like an Aura...

I'd probably just build that as Human Purple Dragon Knight with the Military service background and the Healer's Feat that allows hp recovery with a healers kit.. Field ops battle surgeon right there.

I think it's a bit of a needless complication for my taste. Perhaps if you want to give the option of having the players have disadvantage with the option of still hitting for damage, it's a new action, Disadvantage on the roll, but nat 20 always hits for lethal. Knocking someone out in the...

I run (and sometimes play) at my local store alot. Wednesday Nights AL. I organize things somewhat, and recommend using the stand. array over the point buy for use, as it gives a better even playing field for the AL modules. But when I run homebrew, I like slightly stronger heroes, so have them...

True, but I DM a fair bit, and while the Full tier is nice, and decently priced, I can't afford another subscription. Also, seems like the primary access is via a browser and internet, and while I do have a phone for the little app, I always prefer standalone apps(lications). Maybe if they...

If they create a standalone product akin to HeroLab, I'll bite, but I've got enough subscriptions currently.

If both the pre-set options and the money/customise option were exactly the same in value, most everyone would take the second option, even if it takes longer to create a character for some that way. Since you get slightly more value out of the pre-set options, it edges some people to picking...

Most straight forward method is using the Human variant rule to gain the polearm master feat. Otherwise, find a cool race and take the feat at fourth level. As for which of the builds, I believe Champion, with the Great Weapon Fighting option. Simple and straight forward, good for just...

Are they surprised that a guest turns on them and attacks them.. yes. Socially, that's really bad form. Are they surprised by a blatant and obvious attack by the barbarian.. no. They are trained guards. At best award either Inspiration, or outright give the Barbarian Advantage this time on...

I'm just pulling some knowledge from both the old 2nd ed book on illithids, and 2nd through 5th ed DND Forgotten Realms history, and Eberron Campaign Setting. As hated as the Drow are in the underdark, being slavers and other undesireables, the Mind Flayers are hated much more. Something about...

Well, he does have three stats at 20. That is a serious upgrade, and verging into superheroic territory. (Dwayne Johnson in Fast and Furious movies) Reminds me of a pally I rolled for the CRPG Baldur's Gate. Exploded mobs left and right with just his greatsword.

Not sure what your campaign world looks like, if these as PC's will be hitting surface. But Illithids are pretty hated across the board. Everyone will be afraid or want to kill the PC(s). Maybe some social skill penalty? For Lack of Initiative: perhaps utilize Permanent Disadvantage instead...

For creatures that are killing for food or just being mindless attackers, they can keep beating on the down pc. For intelligent attackers, they may threaten the PC's to finish off their comrade if they don't disarm/stop attacking their allies. Not all the time mind you. Also, if attackers see a...

My usual homebrew method is 4d6 drop lowest, distribute as you want. Sometimes, if I want stronger player characters, I'll do 4d6 drop low, reroll 1s. But not often.

made an edit update above, alas no.

I looked up my copy sitting on the shelf at the store that I'm currently working at. Got them in today, all ready for selling Friday. And sorry to burst the bubble, but no pull out/fold out map. Just nicely done pages. One of the copies we got in has a odd print/binding issue at the front...

The full Appendix B monster list goes as follows: Animated Table Barghest Centaur Mummy Champion Choker Conjurer Deathlok Wight Dread Warrior Duergar Spy Enchanter Evoker Giant Crayfish Giant Ice Toad Giant Lightning Eel Giant Skeleton Giant Subterranean Lizard Greater Zombie Illusionist...

If I was going to change it myself I'd give it a range of touch. I just want to be able to cast it on allies during combat. anything more and it becomes too useful I think. Even the two synergies of EK and Sorc seem very good. Things I hadn't considered, but that a touch range wouldn't disrupt...

You can always look over the forums at Candlekeep.com or there is an FR wiki online I reference for some things. But other than the SCAG book, and the DND Next adventure modules detailing the Sundering, not much new in FR. Like others have mentioned, kinda back to a status quo pre 4th, but with...
