It was meant tongue-in-check, as I assumed his players do gain levels. But, the very first line of your OP said “if you do milestone leveling, this thread is not for you…”

So your players’ characters stay at level 1 throughout the entire campaign? That sound dreadfully boring.

Nothing is cooler than pluralizing with a Z instead of an S 🙄

I play D&D with my daughter and her 2 preteen friends. I think it would sound atrocious if I told their parents that I take their daughters into my basement to play a game where I’m the “Dungeon Master.” Or maybe I’ve watched too many episodes of Law & Order SVU. 😬

Another alternative would be to multiclass into a Cleric of the Nature Domain. That would make it an easier transition since I’m sure he already has a high Wisdom.

One of my biggest regrets in life is not having played D&D when I was younger and had more free time and plenty of friends around the neighborhood. I try to play it now, but I’m older and have more obligations and responsibilities. And my friends and family members have all scattered about...

Ha ha, sucker, I still have 2 weeks left until I turn 50! 😛 I played Baldur’s Gate 1& 2 and Icewind Dale 1& 2 while in college in the 90’s, but I didn’t start playing D&D itself until 2000, when I was a whopping 26. My first character was a Halfling Rogue named Willow (because I had a...

Fanatically Indifferent = "I DON’T CARE! Now go away and leave me alone."

In this example, the cat would not take damage from falling off the table because cats always land on their feet. ;)

And I assume it's a gold dragon, rather than the normal red dragon, because of the "golden" anniversary.

To answer the initial question posed by @ECMO3, if the DM deemed that the creature's fleeing caused by Dissonant Whispers was "unwilling" movement and did not trigger the secondary thunder damage, then I would say that the "booming energy" stays on the creature instead of dissipating. To me...

This is why I couldn't get into Elden Ring. I started up a character, went through the tutorial, went out into the world and . . . . . that's it. There were no quests that I could find or quest givers of any sort. I wandered around a bit and got killed a few times, but ultimately got bored...

If he’s playing a Circle of Wildfire Druid, maybe he should just multiclass to a College of Evocation Wizard, focusing on fire-themed spells. Although I would recommend the OneD&D version from UA7.

Tal’Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn has the Circle of the Blighted subclass. Some Druids seek to protect a natural site of power, but sometimes that land becomes corrupted. Twisted by their connection to the unhallowed territory, they come to embody the defiled nature they serve, exalting in the...

This has been the biggest hurdle for my campaign. Usually D&D groups will meet on a previously scheduled day and time (every Wednesday from 6pm - 9pm, for instance). But my group consists of my daughter and her two best friends. So we play whenever both of her friends are over at the same...

At this point, based on my players’ tendencies, I think I’d settle for an all non-elf campaign.

Yes, on page 99 there are Racial Traits for Gnolls. As a side note, one thing I DO NOT miss from 3e are the complications from Level Adjustments (At least Gnolls were only a +1).

I love how, in the thread about Rogues, we're arguing about Intimidation (STR) checks. But in the thread about Barbarians, Druids, and Monks, we're arguing about Rogues picking locks. :confused:

Yes, Initiative is merely a Dexterity-based ability check. But the Pact of the Talisman specifically says, “when the wearer FAILS an ability check …..”. You can’t really “fail” an initiative roll.

I hate this saying. You can very much hate the players, because they are willingly partaking in the game. If they stopped playing the game, the game would no longer exist. “Don’t hate the player, hate the game,” always struck me as people knowingly doing something detestable, but refusing to...
