One other thing of note than most seem to neglect. Tweak the stat black within reason if you wish. First? Get rid of the stupid ruling of him not turning into a cloud of he dies in sunlight or from radiant damage. The game assumes the party has a sunblade and at least one character suitable to...

I know not enough about darksun offhand to be of much help, though I'd assume a race with a name like "half-gisnt" to be strong hearty and maybe a little dim. Personally? I'd just suggest reskinning a race like goliath, bugbear, or something similar. Many of the settings dont have all the...

Mind blank, mage armor, mirror image, fire shield, and either stone skin or globe of invulnerability all stack to make a devastating defensive combo. The first two buffs should already up before combat, and the last two I listed are both concentration. I'll concede that the latter is immune to...

You dont. You cast dispell the turn after the mage time stops and puts up all his buffs, thus wasting his only 9th level spell, his action, and any spell slots he's also used on himself for buffs (including the aforementioned crappy stone skin, which will likely have fallen off anyway because...

A friend of mine was played a cleric of a warrior God as a lizard folk. He was more a war cleric, but forge would've worked equally well. His personality was that at any point he asked himself this: 1) Can I eat this, fight this, or *&@% this? 2) Will anyone get upset with me if I do, and if so...

My biggest issue with stoneskin isn't the spell itself. As a player using it, it has its uses. What frustrates me about stoneskin is the concentration aspect, specifically enemy caster npcs (i.e. archmages, archdruids, etc). Their challenge rating and effective health is designed around keeping...

I don't really have much of an opinion on the concept of stores charging for use of their space, albeit I feel it would be a poor business model for them to charge too much. However, on the flip side of that same coin, if you play in a gaming space regularly you should support the store through...

I like this a lot as a patron. Side note, implying that Disney or Blizzard somehow created the image of an ice mage is amusing. Folklore and the snow queen people! :P As for the specifics? I feel overall it is good. I think it may actually be a bit weak. The spell choices are great. My thoughts...

I would definitely rule that they can be magically compelled, just as I would also rule to allow the hornblower to have the option to choose to end the effect of the summon led creatures as an action (or maybe a bonus action, I don't have the horn stats in front of me to see if it specifies)...

I do feel that this was their intended thing. I just feel at present it's a little too close to both the chaos sorcerer and metamagic for comfort. Wizards don't need sorcerer's toys as well as their own. I also feel if they were going for the mad gadgeteer route, it should be implemented in a...

It's almost like there's a subclass for the sorcerer that is precisely designed to be just that: chaotic and random...or a base sorcerer mechanic in place that let's them tweak and adjust their spells using a daily replenishing resource...but that would be crazy right? God forbid the wizard not...

I agree with where you are going, and it's all good. I was just chiming in my opinion for consideration. Familiars are definitely a classic wizard thing as well. To be honest one of my biggest gripes about sorcerer is thst they *dont* get the spell, despite them releasing *several* "sorcerer"...

One thing to keep in mind is that high charisma does not inherently mean a character is attractive physically and vice versa. A high charisma can also be represented by being a smooth talker and a low charisma can be a player character is very unfriendly to others. Skills proficiencies and...

I like the idea conceptually, and you are off to a good start. The beginning ability might be a bit fiddly with the hp sacrifice mechanic, but it's not too overly complicated and seems to fit 5e's design mindset. However, I can't help but feel like thematically this archetype feels like it...

So this poses a number of concerns, both as a core mechanic adjustment and as a spell. As a potential spell, it fails, because it would literally be so useful and game changing that it would absolutely have to be on every spellcasters' list. This creates a number of balance concerns regarding...

If you feel a mechanical thing must be done, a Charisma save would be warrented, otherwise, as said giving the player a "flaw" listed and having them roleplay as the children is a lot of fun.

From out tables, we seem to end up with players all seeking to take feats at level 4 and 8, though we tend to have players who consider extra abilities and the things that feats come with as more interesting than straight bonuses. A couple characters have been exceptions to this (most single...

As several others have stated, there are a number of counters if you wish to kill a zealot. That said, not dying is sort of their *thing*. They don't get much else to be perfectly frank. And coming from the perspective of the DM it kind of makes me happy that there is sort of an unspoken...

I sent them (and her brother Ismark) all Wedding Invitations. They were to be the "Guests of Honor." 😈

And I would argue that those unaccounted factors are more important that you realize. I will agree that we can definitely do a ranking, just that much of what the original post casts aside is very important. I would argue, for example, that the setting and type of game are by far the most...
