    Everyone, Tell us about your games, please!

    1.) How many players in your group? | 2.) Do you DM? | 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? [1-3] Usually there are seven of us in my group. Everyone DMs, though not all of us DM for the group. One likes to run games at her local gaming store and two others with their own local...

    [3.5] Looking for character suggestions

    Yeah... coming from an mmo is a completely different head space than pen and paper rpgs. Sounds like your group is fine. I'd still try and convince the group to invest in some more shared healing items, but I wouldn't worry too much about filling in those "missing" roles. Wish I had mentioned it...

    [3.5] Looking for character suggestions

    There's a significant difference between being a healer and a dedicated healer. What sets the two apart is how many resources you allocate to healing; spell slots, feats and magic items (your personal items, not group items like wand of cure). When I play a healer (which I currently am), I...

    [3.5] Looking for character suggestions

    Sorry for the wall. If you used Inspire Courage during most combats, you were less useless than you think. If you could look back over the statistics of your sessions, I'm willing to bet there were a ton of times you allies hit only due to your morale bonus. Each of those hits should be put...

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5 - magic item questions

    #1 If the spell is on your spell list and the same type you can cast, divine or arcane, than yes you can use the wand. You can still attempt to use the wand with a Use Magic Device check (DC 20). In your example, a Use Magic Device check would be required.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do Cleric/Druid players just ignore a large portion of their spells list?

    When I run a cleric/druid my spell list is pretty static with a given level, unless a situation requires me to switch out a spell. Once in a while I'll try out a spell I'm not sure of.

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5e - Exalted Wildshape Feat - Class Level?

    Yes. Or the effective druid level when concerning wild shape; since there are a few sources of wild shape outside of druid.

    Counter to Spike Growth?

    Don't know anything about PotA so sorry for anything that doesn't work here. If your group has been fighting different cells from the same cult than most certainly the cultist should be learning the player's tactics. And depending upon how famous your players are, any up and coming cult/villain...

    D&D 5E (2014) How would you replace stat bumps in feats?

    I know it's not what your asking for, but I've been toyed with the idea of, if a player takes a feat that provides a +1 to a stat they already have at 20, the player gain the first of the following to apply: [1] The player gains proficiency in a skill that is associated with that stat [2] If...

    D&D 3.x Prestige Classes for Warlocks

    I am only aware of 3 prestige classes for the warlock. All of the come from the Complete Mage. Both the Eldritch Disciple and Eldritch Theurge progress how many invocations acquire and their caster level; but doesn't progress Eldritch Blast damage dice. Enlightened Soul does the opposite. In...

    Table Rules

    [1] Evil characters are fine, but you are not allowed to intentionally harm your fellow players directly or indirectly. You are however, allow to do something that screws the entire party as long as you are caught in the blast radius too. Exception to this rule is the final session/epilogue. A...

    D&D 5E (2014) What DM flaw has caused you to actually leave a game?

    I was invited to join an ongoing game by the DM. DM questioned practically every thing on my character sheet that wasn't from the PHB (Complete Adventures had just come out and I had use content from that and the DMG)... and every PHB item that was that wasn't directly useful in combat...

    Druid of the Land - Circle Magic

    I am considering making a Druid as a backup character. After reading the Circle Spells class feature provided by Circle of the Land archetype, and confirming that this is the only class feature in this archetype that requires a choice of terrain, an idea fully formed in my head. What if instead...

    Can a paladin be affected by a Spawn of Kyuss worm?

    No idea about RAW/RAI, but I'd allow the Burrowing Worm to deal the 1 point of piercing damage caused by burrowing into any paladin to arrogant/foolish to not scrape it off themselves. On the worms next turn, I'd have it trying to escape the paladin's flesh, due to it being a hostile...

    New Campaign needed

    I wish I could directly assist you in this, but all the 10th level and above games I've run/played have been home-brewed. Instead I've leave THIS here and hope it assisting in directing you to what you seek.

    D&D 5E (2014) Your Adventuring Party Names

    Usually the group I play with/run for doesn't bother with a group name... unless there are in-game reasons for one. The only exception I can recall is the all Bards game I ran years ago. Someone dubbed the party "Music and Mayhem"

    How do you make a Barbarian interesting? :)

    The last barbarian I played was a "ranger" who in his youth had made a foolish deal with an Erinyes. Whenever he raged, it was really a devil behind the wheel... which put allies in danger if they weren't quick enough to leave her prey alone.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lore Bard Magical Secret Picks

    False Life gives you temp (1d4+4/+5 per additional level) HP. Life Transference deals (4d8/+1d8 per additional level) damage to you and give double the amount to a target within range.

    D&D 5E (2014) DMs of EN World: How do YOU assign HP to monsters?

    For me, creatures start with what is in the stat block. Then depending upon the following question, is whether or not and by how much I modify HP: [1] Will the player's normal tactics, gear and/or spell(s) turn a challenging fight into a easy fight? [2] How many encounters do I plan on running...
