    D&D 5E (2024) Help me Houserule 5e Equipment & Items

    I’d say Charisma using investigation for 5e On the note of lifestyle, I feel having penalties for having multiple days of squalid lifestyle seems good in theory but in practice not so much. Adventurers sleep on cave floors for multiple days eating trail rations. So you’d have to rule that as...

    Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

    Yeah, any way you want. It’s just easier to track what’s going on without having having to go to a separate thread to find the map

    Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

    Just a couple corrections on buffs: -Vitas has Entropic Shield cast -Both the knight and the Djinn have a 48 hour protection so they won’t instantly die when they cross the threshold of the labyrinth. I forget the name of the spell. Sustain? I’ll try to find the post where that was cast...

    Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

    @Knightfall Would it be possible to post the maps in the IC thread instead of OOC? I’m often reading through the story and then, when I want to refer to the map, I have to find the map among all the pages of ooc conversations. Or have a link to the map IC?

    D&D 5E (2024) Help me Houserule 5e Equipment & Items

    OOOh, this is an exciting project. Maybe we can incorporate it into one of the pbps eventually! -As far as gold/silver standard. Why does it matter if it's gold or silver? If Gold is the 1 unit, add an extra unit of coin to represent 100s. Or why not just rename the coin to something...

    D&D 5E (2024) Abusing True Strike 2024

    There is so much access to radiant damage in the new rules. True Strike through class abilities or magic initiate, many more classes get access to it (barbarians, paladins always had it etc..). I was running an undead focused game and it completely negated zombies abilities, vampire’s...

    D&D General Oh Please give me some Happy Backgrounds!!

    I’m pretty sure that was the description of Kender in the books. That’s all I was saying. Just agreeing with you that wanderlust is a reasonable reason for an adventurer to go on an adventure. The second part of my comment wasn’t directly a response to your comment (which is why I put the 3...

    D&D General Oh Please give me some Happy Backgrounds!!

    Isn’t that how Kender are portrayed? *** I’m sure there’s lots of happy people with families, who go to war-torn countries or poor or crime ridden places to build schools, bring medicine, work as mercenaries etc… There’s stories of foreigners joining the Ukraine forces, there’s Doctors...

    Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

    Notepad(or notebook) LLM. Google. It doesn’t share your sources or use it for training (apparently). So it’s a bit more private? (I guess?) I just have it the links instead of copy/pasting the text. Let me know if there’s anything specific you want me to look up. Now that it has access to...

    Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

    I started at page 125 from the night before we entered the Labrinth. It only took me 5 minutes to put the links in. I'm now asking it for a detailed summary of the combat and asking it to list all our buffs.

    Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

    I’m going to reread the last combat. I had a lot of spells going. Probably best to know what that do!

    D&D 5E (2024) PCs as Generals Commander Abilities?

    I’d let the troops use the General’s proficiency or their own, whichever is higher. That gives the level of the General some weight. Abilities are a bit harder. Rogue: troops get a double move or bonus to surprise (cunning action) Fighter: attack twice Barbarian: damage resistance or...

    The 2025 Pumpkin Spice RPG Contest - Results are In

    I’ve thought about throwing in an entry but I also was hesitant. There are game designers on these boards so you have to put yourself ‘out there’. I had the same thoughts with the Iron DM competition. But I do see it’s just a bunch of people having fun. Although the Iron DM seems more arduous.
