I like the simplicity of the idea as well as the fact that it should practically eliminate the habit of choosing weapons just because of the damage they do. I don’t like the idea of all weapons doing the same amount of damage, so I’d suggest something like this: All fighter types (barbarian...

Quick question. Does this need to be announced prior to rolling to hit. We had him announce after rolling a critical. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

Try adding some action of her that makes her unique. When I last played a soldier, every battle reminded him of some other campaign he had been in and he would tell his party about it during the combat. Fighting a bunch of spiders - "this reminds me of that time when we took a contract with...

Sorry, it appears my attempts at humor are not coming across. I had assumed you were trying to be funny when you said phamtasmal killer and I responded in kind. To be clear, I'm not deceiving my group to steal magic items. I just wanted some feedback on what I would need to accomplish...

But, but, how do I get all the magical items then? I deal in illusions, deception is my game! :) Sent from my iPad using EN World mobile app

Honestly because I did not want to do that. I could have given him 2 levels of Warlock to get the Invocation Devil's Sight, but I wanted to create a character that has an amazing ability but doesn't get to use it each round. All the characters in the group have magic items that advance with...

I'm a bit confused as to what can be cast with the different illusion spells. Let's say I'm walking into town that doesn't allow martial weapons to be worn, so I cast an illusion on my sword so it looks like a dagger. Which spell do I need? What about if my party is ambushed by archers across...

That last line I would heavily consider when choosing how you'll let players advance - one of the reasons I believe WoW became so popular was the easy and quick advancement. It was also cool in the middle of a quest to have the "ding" and bright light shining on you when you advance. There...

Opportunity attacks or Riposte. Is that written somewhere that if both of you are blind there is neither advantage or disadvantage? I thought if you were blind you attack at disadvantage? Thanks for your response Sent from my iPad using EN World mobile app

Some other options for periodic problems with scouting - try an alarm spell on the entrances. Also place illusion on certain doors for important areas that the quasit might or might not see open. Or the classic "a terrible beast is roaming the countryside that lives in the old cave up the...

A little background- in the campaign I'm running I will be introducing a Bladesinger who will start out as an enemy and hopefully become a valuable NPC ally. His familiar is a bat, he wields a scimitar of quickness, and he has access to Riposte through a magical item. My question is, he...

A very nice job and something that really builds on the thematic concepts in DnD. If I had one nitpick it would be the lack of feature at the 3rd / 4th levels. Do they get attribute bonuses or the ability to choose a feat? Are their archetypes they can play that provide some bonus at the 3rd...

I have done this in recent games that I have DM'd and have specifically asked for this in games I have played. I love the concept of items that grow with you rather than be cast aside at the first glitter of something new (WoW I'm looking at you). Some that I have created: Rapier of Deception...

I would suggest making a cleric character that you might use yourself. Imagine how this character would fight and which spells he/she would use along with equipment and such. Your card now has the "enemy" along with stats and attacks. Place a few spells that the character would use on the...

I like this idea, but with the keeping of high fantasy heroic characters - I'd like to see an option for mitigating damage. Perhaps if you deliberately jump you have a DC 10 + #of dice acrobatic check to take half damage. So a deliberate 50' jump would be DC 18 for half damage. Maybe...

Hello and welcome to DnD. I hope you will really enjoy it. Since you asked for advice, I will try my best, but please remember this is just my opinion and how you play your character is what in the end makes you happy and not some guy you'll never meet on the internet. :) ---- High...

As a player, I think I like "thethain's" response, but it appears that "jgsugden" has found a RAW response, which wow - 1500 gp plus the cost of getting someone to cast it for you and only lasts 10 days? I like my familiar but that may be a bit much :) Thanks for the help folks Sent from my...

In essence I'm trying to create a trap but one that is beneficial to the player. I'm envisioning it for my familiar and if the familiar takes damage a shield spell goes off. Now I know something like this can't be common or everyone would have one thereby wrecking the concept of a static AC...

I did do something with armor as well - each character got a weapon, armor of some type, and a miscellaneous magic item. One armor was robes of entanglement which reduces damage by 3 for any targeted attack. Another character got a shield of Argythys which has 5 charges a day. An action allows...

I also like the more flavorful magical items. In my campaign that we just started, I created magical items based on their character conceptions. The monk got Gauntlets of the Living Weapon which provides a +1 to AC, moves you up 1 level on the unarmed strike table (d4 becomes d6 and so on), if...
