I have a sneaking suspicion that the boys are just trolling us with the Loremaster to see if we're paying attention. Its Spell Secrets and Alchemical Casting abilities are absurdly powerful.

In a fight like that the Walking Statues might make an appearance. Perhaps the Cult's Thayan allies have found a way to usurp control of one? Dragons may be prevented by the ward from entering the city proper, but they could always use bombing trajectories to drop boulders or casks of burning...

Let's see. Group 1: human tempest cleric, human retribution paladin, tiefling infernal warlock, eladrin bladesinger, , human thief Group 2: human life druid (homebrew), goblin blade dancer rogue (homebrew), human eldritch knight, half-elf dragonblood sorcerer, halfling hunter ranger, dwarf...

One thing I've been toying with is setting their initiative at 2d8 lower than the caster, modified by their own initiative bonus.

The cloak of displacement in my game operates on a recharge mechanic. After its displacement is cancelled, it reactivates on a roll of 5 or 6 at the start of your turn. It's one option for a less-powerful version.

"Monster Vault" has a nice ring to it.

Use alternative facts. Edit: Whoops, Ninja'd. That's what I get for skipping the first page.

I wouldn't really call them easter eggs if they're plainly visible in the image.

I thought it was lack of a suitable third-party license and the 4e ruleset itself that killed 3pp in 4e? The 4e compendium was just quick & convenient access to official rules material that appeared in the PBH, DMG, MM, and splatbooks. Things that make running the game easier, not thing that...

Can we just get a 5e version of the 4e Compendium? Please?

The above reminds me: in the same campaign as in my OP, the players were indirectly responsible for the warforged appearing as a race. They were exploring Neverwinter's ruined temple of Gond, where they found a small clockwork humanoid stashed away in a locked drawer. Along with it was a...

What are some minor ways in which you've tweaked a monster to give it a whole different feel? Not looking for major mechanical overhauls or complex stat blocks, but just simple things like a modified ecology, an added power, or similar such things that leave the monster largely the same but...

Have these been done? Mordenkainen's Dword stores an integer value from 0 to 4,294,967,295 Arcane Exe triggers a pre-programmed spell sequence True Stroke takes 1d4 strokes off your golf game Glyph of Wording automatically re-phrases awkward grammar spoken within 30'

This is amusing. I just wrote my own Creation, Necrology, and Guardian domains (as well as Night) Good to see them, slightly different focus than the ones I wrote so they will work well together.

Here's my update to Mordenkainen's Sword. It incorporates some of its utility from previous editions. MORDENKAINEN’S SWORD (REWRITE) 7th-level Evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S, M (a miniature platinum sword with a grip and pommel of copper and zinc, worth 250gp)...

It really does pain you to see people still might like the class, doesn't it.

The best way to earn XP on the sly is to bring your DM extra beer & snacks every game.

Maybe now we'll get a proper warlord class to steal for everyday use. Looking forward to the adaptation, regardless.

Most of the others focused on trade goods, so here's some more esoteric stuff: Grelzik the goblin and her crew, selling captured "exotic" surface animals (deer, rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats) Moooolt the myconid, selling various powders, spices, and herbs (many of which he "produced"...

To me, raw damage & extra attacks on a magic item is kind of boring. Depending on who made such a weapon and for what purpose, I'd have it do things like: Grant a speak with plants/animals ability Enhance the owner's senses Whisper to the owner when known enemies of nature are nearby, and grant...
