How about a character, of any class and race, who actually grew up in Phandalin? They would have to be either very young or very old.

Consult the architects plan, Stan. Smash holes in the wall, Paul. Break a few heads, Ted. Use your Thieves Tools, Jules.

All you need to do to make 5e dangerous is ignore the suggestion that one monster of their CR is an appropriate encounter and instead have them face a number of monsters equal to their party size, each of their CR.

Having a mechanical benefit from torture may mean that you get more torture, and that is not something some of us want in our games. It was bad enough reading about Abu Ghraib, there is just no way I want it in my games.

They could do these the same way that they do Warlock Invocations and just call them Martial Maneuvers. Fighters would have the same number as a Warlock of their level has invocations. Other characters would have a few, maybe none unless they took a feat to gain some. Some Martial Maneuvers...

You spelled Pelinore wrong.

Fighter, Rogue, and Warlock is all you really need. Barbarians and Rangers and Monks are Fighters. Artificers are a Rogue (skill-monkeys) sub-class who specialize in weird skills and magic (like the Arcane Trickster). Clerics (God pact), Druids (nature pact), Sorcerers (ancestor pact), and...

It might resemble Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Behind. I am running in Primeval Thule so the campaign world (Greenland) is doomed to be covered in ice, possibly within the lifetime of longer-lived characters.

My first reaction is to ask the GM if they mean in game, in reality, or both? A game time limit means more real time planning so that the task may be competed in the game time. A real time limit but no game time limit may mean the opposite.

Yes, those are completely normal. No, most of them don't have quite that many when they are new.

I punch the aboleth.

No, but it might help 1st ed AD&D murder-hobos from murdering all their porters for XP's and still having someone to carry out all the copper pieces if they know it will violate their alignment and thus cost them vast chunks of XP's. "Just ask yourself what would Gary Gygax do? Then, do...

Because the zombies and skeletons last until destroyed, so they break the action economy over a longer period of time that Summoning spells do. DM's always hate it when the players get to do more stuff, so it must be "inherently evil".

The sheet cakes spoiled too fast in their internal play-test, so they switched to rules that are printed on foil over chocolate (like a chocolate Santa or Easter Bunny). There's going to be a new "you use the rule, you get to eat the rule" rule that will make the product one use only, like an...

Why would you need a +2 WIS? A +1 is enough. Just start with a 15 from point buy or standard array, add a +1 and you're good with the 16 you need at L1. The only reason to need a +2 WIS race is if you want to start with a 17 so you can take a half-feat that can provide +1 WIS at L4, so you can...
