How tough do you want them to be? I once did an adamantium golem. In-lore, it had stood defending an ancient grave mound for thousands of years. Nobody remembers who is buried there, and any markers have long-since been obliterated. CR 23ish and a decent solo encounter on its own. The party...

How about a limit that you have to have been to the destination spot within the last week? That's a hard cap on the viability of long-distance transport. You can bypass it by Teleporting somewhere and then Portaling back, but at that point you're expending some higher level resources to make...

Congrats! That sounds like a lot of fun. I like the Mario 3 reference.

WOTC held a DM competition a few years ago, and I made a Beholder-themed trap for it. Perhaps you can use it! It is not for low level groups.

Eldritch Knight, especially if you allow school-swapping (Transmutation gets you Haste, Conjuration gets you teleports, etc.). Hexblade, or Fighter X/Warlock. Artificer Armorer or Battlesmith. Arcane spells, self-buffing, and using magic weapons. Bard, Valor or Swords. 4/13 base classes have...

I don't particularly care for it but from a "managing data" perspective it makes sense. Bets on whether or not they'll get Barbarian Rage damage bonuses in there correctly?

Oh, did they move Epic Boons from the DMG to the PHB?

That's up to you. Play with the action economy, too. Give them multiattack or two bonus actions or extra reactions (don't forget Uncanny Dodge!). A 20th level Arcane Trickster with pretty good gear is only CR 15.

I would add some epic boons on, like being immune to divination spells, +10 to Stealth, +30' speed, etc. It makes them a lot harder to pin down. An array of poisons to apply to weapons? Also, blindsight. The rogue 10' blindsense in 5.14 doesn't give blindsight, so fog cloud or an eversmoking...

Use the following: -a 5e adventuring day (5-8 encounters between long rest) -Terrain, cover, distant foes, and 3D movement (ledges, cliffs, fliers, etc.) -Reinforcements -2-3 enemy types per encounter -Enemies that hit harder (to drain hit point resources) but are also squishier. One of my more...

Ah, with only 4 ASIs you're probably using them all for CHA and can't bump your DEX up or take Moderately Armored for half plate + Shield (AC 19). Drums, Mantle of Spell Resistance, and Tome? Mirror Image will eat 3 attacks, but with an AC of 13 on the images, it won't last too long. Greater...

Sorry, Mantle of Spell Resistance.

With only 3 magic items, I'd stay away from martials. That's ridiculously underequipped as you have only 1 weapon, 1 armor, and 1 open slot to cover movement, utility, defense-boosting, a secondary weapon (ranged/melee), etc. You could get your AC up (+3 shield, +2 armor, +2 weapon or a flame...

Nope. Monsters should be interesting.

I voted Other as one of my reasons, which would include unhappiness with the design direction of WOTC from Tasha's on. I don't trust them to actually make improvements. My somewhat houseruled 5e games march on. I've taken the few things I like from 5.24.

What are your favorite crafting systems / DM's Guild publications for 5e? Magic Item pricing? I'm aware of the Sane Magic Item pricing and am not a fan of the huge numbers and over-complication in it. I'd like something better than the basic DMG "around X-Y range per rarity" though.

Isn't that how it's been since 3 or 3.5 when you could have a cleric of X ideal RAW? Falls-From-Grace was that back in PS:T back in the late 90s. This is of course DM dependent. My games still require clerics and paladins to have a specific deity if there's a focus on moral choices and...

PERFECT! Thank you.

Did you happen to have a specific source for those, or are these just particular buildings you were familiar with? Both look great!

I am planning an upcoming campaign that could involve infiltration and/or attack of multiple noble families living in the same city. I don't want to re-use the same map, and I also don't want to have to re-invent the layout of a 20-50 room manor every single time. Most of the "manor" maps on...
