    D&D 5E (2014) Charger feat and bonus attack

    There's nothing stopping you from using any remaining movement in either your Dash action's movement or your normal movement after taking the bonus action attack granted by Charger.

    D&D 5E (2014) Deal Breakers - Or woah, that is just too much

    Threads like this make me appreciate the fact that I've been playing games with roughly the same group of friends for the last 20 years, and everyone is trustworthy and consistent in their behavior. Our worst problem is the one guy who likes to throw his dice when they roll bad. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) The Escapist previews art for the new D&D adventure!

    Wonder if this will be a crossover like 2e's Castle Spulzeer and The Forgotten Terror

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you want your DM to fudge?

    (Without reading the thread) Absolutely, as long as it's not obvious. I'd rather fudging happen than a campaign be derailed by an accidental TPK. I'd rather have an exciting, difficult encounter than one which drags out too long or ends too quickly. Come to think of it, doesn't agreeing to end...

    Green-Flame Blade = magic weapon?

    For all practical purposes, the attack made as a part of the casting of Greenflame Blade and other such cantrips is a somatic component and not an attack granted by the spell. The intent is clear to me that the damage is based on the qualities of the weapon used. Trying to apply hard logic to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Weak 5e monsters

    In all seriousness, carrying over some additional 4e monster design goes a long way to helping out 5e solo types. There's a couple of things you can do to make sure they are a challenge, if you don't want to go all the way into making them a 5e legendary creature: Add one or more feats Double...

    D&D 5E (2014) Weak 5e monsters

    I recommend the variant T-Rex:

    D&D 5E (2014) Feat at 1st Level: How To Go About It?

    In my Tiamat campaign I started everyone at level 3 and gave a bonus feat. All the players who created a human actually picked the standard human and not the variant. Heavy Armor Master, Sharpshooter, Inspiring Leader, two Magic Initiates, and one I can't remember. The only change i've made is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ditching concentration - did you do it?

    <veering off-topic> We put a ring of sparkly pipe cleaner around the miniatures of actors known to be concentrating on spells, so there's an extra reminder to check Con.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5e Wardrobe?

    As free-form as the 5e rules are, I think you can just reskin a juvenile gazebo as a wardrobe without too much modification.

    D&D 5E (2014) Back from 15 years of D&D coma

    Sounds like a job for the 9th-level Imprisonment spell, or you could always rule, as DM, that time froze in the Abyss for some reason, with all that magic and death flying around. Perhaps followers of theirs traveled to the Abyss to look for them, and finally found their prison and released...

    D&D 5E (2014) Casting with two handed weapon?

    All this innuendo is making Eric's grandma blush. :blush:

    D&D 5E (2014) Best Parts of SCAG

    Much of what I like has already been stated, but I especially like the section on the gods because it's succinct yet still manages to give several useful hooks for each faith. Also, I continue to be impressed by 5e's artwork. The practical clothing and equipment most of the characters wear is...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Forgotten Realms] The Wall of the Faithless

    In ~20 years of running FR campaigns, it's come up a few times, but mostly as a bogeyman to scare players. I'm fine with the concept, myself, though I'd probably say that some of the unclaimed souls on the Fugue Plain end up as larvae for the night hags, if they manage to steal them out from...

    7TH SEA Sold To John Wick

    At first I thought the sequel to Keanu's John Wick was going to be a pretty big departure from the first movie.

    D&D 5E (2014) Access to Races in a Campaign

    My last couple of campaigns have been set around large, cosmopolitan areas (Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter) so I've felt no need to restrict races. If I were doing a tightly-themed campaign, though, I'd have no problem restricting races and I think that my players wouldn't have a problem with it...

    Mike Schley's MASSIVE Forgotten Realms Map From SCAG!

    Now I'm pondering an overlay for the JPG that adds hexes in one layer, and the smaller towns and ruins from the volo's guides and other older sources on another.

    D&D 5E (2014) A full 5e Warlord class (WIP)

    In hindsight, it's spooky how similar the base class abilities are to the Purple Dragon Knight in the SCAG.
