    D&D 5E (2014) Dual wielding and improvised weapons. Technically broken?

    An untrained child can rush forward 30' and stabilize the wounds of a dying man wearing plate armor with a healer's kit on his turn, without any need for ability checks or removal of armor. Make that a 2nd level rogue and they can take the disengage action (using cunning action) move 30'...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bard Magical secrets and paladin spells question

    It is feature not a bug or overpowered. Bards are full spellcasters now and the most versatile spellcasters in the game, they are not just dabblers in magic, they utter the words of creation of the universe, this is why they can cast things like awaken and raise dead normally and any other...

    D&D 5E (2014) Point Buy or Standard Array

    Point buy, but I only allow 1 ability score to be an 8. I don't like heroes having 3 sub standard scores. EDIt: just to clarify I don't allow more than 1 score to be below 10.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dual wielding and improvised weapons. Technically broken?

    So lets assume a Human(variant) array fighter 6th level. Important ability scores Str & Con start at 16's. Build 1. (Sword & Board - Dual Wielder) Feats: dual wielder, tavern brawler, ability score increase 18 strength. Fighting Style: two-weapon fighting Attack action: 2 attacks +7 hit, d8+4...

    D&D 5E (2014) So.... hide?

    The point is the halfling ability makes it so he is no longer in view of his foe. Having been seen previously doesn't enter into it. Can the creature he is trying to hide from see him currently, if the halfling is behind an ally the answer is no.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favorite uncommon magic item?

    If going Eldritch Knight a good magical thrown weapon to have a weapon bond with would be good too. Javelin of Lightning is very nice, as one of your attacks per day and weapon bond brings it back to your hand easy enough. Trident of Fish Command, I would normally stay away from it but you...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favorite uncommon magic item?

    You can see a list of them here, just set rarity to "uncommon" and hit enter. http://donjon.bin.sh/5e/magic_items/ For a warrior I would go with mariner's plate armor. That way you have a great AC and can swim in your armor.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch blast and hex as class features?

    What would Eldritch Blast be if it wasn't a spell? Right now there are weapon attacks and spells, doing this would create a whole new category. As far as Hex goes, right now it has limitations on it most notably duration and concentration. A warlock is hard pressed to keep the spell going all...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch blast and hex as class features?

    Blade pact warlocks might not pick up eldritch blast. As spells it allows for characters of other classes to use feats like magic initiate and spell sniper to get them. As an ability Hex would not be a a concentration spell, freeing up the warlock to have another buff spell going and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can Someone Please Clarify Surprise?

    It makes things easier if you use group checks for the characters or groups of enemies who are trying to be stealthy and surprise. So in a party with a couple heavy armor clad warriors and a rogue expert in stealth and a couple high dex light or no armor using people it all averages out.

    D&D 5E (2014) Things I like and dislike about 5e...

    My next campaign is going to be set in Eberron and because the way they worked dragonmarks I will be giving every character a feat at first level and disallowing the variant human, to make the standard human more attractive I will be adding the bonus skill proficiency to it. So if you dislike...

    Halflings lucky ability (reroll 1's) Paladin's aura of protection (add charisma to all saves for yourself and any ally within 10') Monk's diamond soul ability (lvl 14 gain proficiency and spend ki to reroll) Divination Wizard's portant ability (can replace a check before it is rolled with one...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can Someone Please Clarify Surprise?

    Two things a lot of people tend to ignore about surprise but they shouldn't. So unless there are actions being taken to be stealthy no one is surprised. If you walk into a room and notice a single threat, you are not surprised. So if 3 goblins, 2 hobgoblins, and a bugbear wait in ambush as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Attacking from above, from top to bottom, gives advantage in attack? EX: Stairs, plateau, stone.

    Not hard coded into the rules no. But like anything else up to the DM is the situation warrants advantage/disadvantage. I wouldn't give flyers or people on higher ground advantage myself.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bless and stability saves

    It is a saving throw so anything that works with saves works with death saves. Halfling can reroll 1's, which is amazing. Paladin aura gives +cha modifier to death saves. Magic items that give bonuses to death saves. Anything.

    Dragonlance Would you allow Kender outside of Dragonlance?

    I wouldn't allow Kender as a PC race in a Dragonlance game. They are a license to behave horribly to the rest of the players and excuse the trollish behavior as "roleplaying".

    D&D 5E (2014) Casting more than one spell in a turn/round

    The problem trying to add wand to the mix is it doesn't work for two reason. Using a magic item, does not fall under the "Use Item" action. pg 141 of the DMG And using a wand is "casting the spell" it falls under all the same restrictions as any other spell casting. So if cast a bonus...

    D&D 5E (2014) How did you handle the Aarakocra?

    I have no issues with the race. They can fly, creatures have ranged attacks. They can fly, pits and chasms are problems for the whole party not just one member. They can fly, but only grab and carry away small creatures. They can fly, but the world is filled with magic and most of that...

    And Here It Is - Wil Wheaton's TABLETOP RPG Show Is TITANSGRAVE: THE ASHES OF VALKANA

    My google searches and japanese pronunciation guides say he is in fact saying it correctly. Ronin rhymes with spleen or green, so Green Ronin rhymes. Multiple places have explained that in japanese "i" is pronounced "ee". I find it strange as I grew up on american action movies and tv and...
