I'm running Curse of Strahd, and the players just finished Death House, and are about to help bury the late burgomaster of Barovia. I made a raven observe them as they came out of the death house, and also as they went in the tavern. It got their attention and the Druid said he wants to use...

I actually use the same map that I draw as the players explore. In complicated fights where positioning is important I just point out with a pencil where everyone is standing, as the map is too small for minis. Ideally I'd like to use nothing but TotM because it makes fights look more real as...

I guess I homebrew my campaign settings, in the sense that I don't care about the official setting and I just use enough of it to make it work in my games. It's Forgotten Realms, but deep down it doesn't matter, it's just a background for a story. I love APs because they allow me to run a game...

Yes, definitely do that. Apart from being fun on itself, when you finally start playing, you'll find that some classmate hadn't had the time to create their character, or forgot about it. And you can give them a cool character of your creation. (just don't expect them to play it anything like...

In my experience, campaigns rarely go above 4th level... You need at least two months of continually playing every single week to reach 4th level. Although lots of people are interested in D&D, few people are actually interested enough to keep the commitment, and games tend to collapse after a...

Not so minor questions, these are basic features of the class. Cantrips don't use spell slots at all. You can cast them whenever and how many times you want. They're "basic" magic tricks you've mastered in your training. Some invocations are permament passive abilities, like the ones you...

First, for the reasons everyone mentioned, I too advise you not to play a multiclass sorcerer/warlock in your first D&D game. Second and more importantly: Why do you want this particular concept? What is it that you want specifically from this character? I'm asking because 5e is brilliant at...

See, to improve the Sorcerer I wouldn't include any funny sorcery point cost for stuff, like +2 SP to do another metamagic you don't know, +3 if it's raining... Our improvements have to be as simple as the original one, or simpler. For instance spell slots and SP should be 1:1. That would be a...

That's a brilliant idea!!! 1 random spell per spell level you can cast to Wild Sorcerers. (I wouldn't include extra spells for Dragon sorcerers, though, their abilities are quite good already) I'll definitely include that in my games from now on. Best of it, spells that get little love will get...

5 sorcery points with a feat, when a Sorcerer needs to be 5th level to have that? Definitely no. First, increase the sorcery points for the class, if they actually need it. To be honest I didn't really feel like I had too few when I played one, and the times I used them they had a huge impact...

I played a sorcerer only once, a Chaos sorcerer. My biggest problem is the whole Chaos powers that they are so ill defined that it's up to the DM, and he didn't like using it because he didn't like the randomness. That was my only problem with the Sorcerer. Apart from that I found it pretty...

My other problem: Full healing on a long rest, or "gritty realism" being too harsh My solution: You don't automatically recover all your HP after a long rest. Instead, you always recover HP equal to your level+Con. modifier (minimum 1). As usual you can spend any unused healing surges, and you...

Oh my gods, I'm so glad that WotC's people are in charge of D&D and not you, because I seriously dislike most of the ideas I've read in this thread (only read till page 5 though)... Luckily it's easy enough to houserule things that one doesn't like at their table :) The solution you propose...

D&D with Pendleton Ward! Sweet!!!!!! :D It would be brilliant a post apocalyptic world like Ooo! Actually... Dark Sun in some ways resembles Ooo (minus all the colour and sweetness obviously). I'd be ecstatic if PW had anything to do with Dark Sun! (Just wishful thinking, I know :o )

Hey, but it stopped at 4 pages! That's a sort of progress. Last LGBTQ-related thread I remember went for a lot longer :) EDIT: Damn, I bumped it to 5...

In fact, that is how Mind Flayers have sex and reproduce. And yes, it's as slimy and gooey as it sounds.

Fighter (Eldritch Knight) definitely. Without house rules and the potential for imbalance, this is the closest class to a Witcher. Lots of good swordfight and a few useful spells. For race I'd use Half-Orc because of the stats, darkvision and the endurance. Obviously not looking like an Orc...

As the tattoo is being done the tattooer has to wipe off the excess paint constantly to see what still needs to be painted. The smudge is probably from that.

Show us please!

Hey, that's a good idea! I'm adding it to my list of possible tattoos to add on my body, or a version of it :) It's about time I get a D&D related one
