    D&D 5E (2014) Power Word Kill Houserule: Any <100 hp within 1 minute

    I feel like the problem with the spell is that the 100 hp threshhold is too low for modern D&D. What about something simple like "This spell automatically kills one creature - A legendary creature may expend a legendary saving throw to negate the effect?"

    D&D 5E (2014) Keys from the Golden Vault play reports

    I'm not going to run this after all, but when I was considering it I was totally planning a story on why there were in these adventures.

    Critical Role Mighty Nien heads to Amazon Prime!

    No spoilers! I had so much fun watching everyone else watching the first two seasons of Game of Thrones!

    Legal Eagle has entered the chat, about OGL 1.1

    Legal Eagle ft. Matt Colville I thought this should maybe have its own thread for discussion?

    D&D General Surrealism in D&D

    I always wanted to base a campaign world around surrealist landscapes, but I haven't found very many pictures to use that didn't include blatant references to technology, so I haven't gone further with the idea.

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    Doesn't matter (much) what the rules say - the primary factor is what Marisha wants to do. The secondary factor is what Marisha's d20 wants, of course.

    D&D 5E (2014) Campaign Idea: Very Rare Magic Items at Lv. 1

    Maybe you have different players than I'm used to, but this seems to me like a recipe to frustrate and anger your group. Sorry.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I get some feedback on a homebrewed magic item?

    No, the point is that it's for characters that already have a fly speed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can I get some feedback on a homebrewed magic item?

    I'm concerned with power level and rules language. Thanks in advance! Wingman’s Baldric requires attunement This leather sword-belt is studded with square-cut blue-green gemstones, that light up when the belt is employed. You may carry a single creature, up to your creature size, without...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on letting spellcasters change elemental damage as a rule...

    It always bothered me a little, because it makes Lightning Bolt a strictly inferior spell to Fireball. Not a deal-breaker, it just bugs me. I've always wanted to have elemental damage be consistent across spells, sort of like Tonguez is describing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Silvery Barbs - How has it looked in play?

    I've played one game where two of us had it, and while it wasn't that overpowered it did seem "disruptive" in the manner SakanaSensei describes. I wouldn't want it to be a universal option and show up all the time the way Guidance does.

    D&D 5E (2024) First playtest thread! One D&D Character Origins.

    Two thoughts on the changes to criticals: 1) Letting monsters have crits could now be an example of an "opt-in" rules option, where DMs can implement it out of a desire to make the base game more deadly. 2) Reducing critical hits to just increasing the base die would allow for the...

    D&D General The Owlbear Druid: How Would You Do It? (A Poll)

    Unless she does it more than once in the movie, I'm going to assume that she said she could do it, and the DM didn't want to interrupt the game to look up whether it was legal. Afterwards, they had a talk and the player agreed not to do it again.

    D&D General "I Like to Play D&D on My Birthday" (a poll)

    I too have a regular game and other things I'd like to do on my birthday. However, back in my college days, I more than once was asked to run a customized game for a friend as their birthday activity.

    D&D 5E (2014) Need an idea - Nagpa

    I have a plot idea that works great for using a Nagpa (or more than one) as a master villain. I read Mordy's Guide, and it says the nagpa were cursed to "be able to acquire new lore and magical power only from the ruins of fallen civilizations and great calamities." I'm looking for ideas on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Grey beard culture question about critical role

    As a 52 year old gamer myself, and a Critical Role fan, I'd say you're fine. Just try to draw on your inner twelve-year old and bring that energy to your character. (Oh, and make sure your character has emotional baggage to work on.) As a specific suggestion - the thing that CR does more than...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Rime of the Frostmaiden the deadliest 5e campaign (probable spoilers)?

    I haven't started running Call of the Netherdeep yet, but some of the encounters look pretty heavy on the CR to me. Of course, other modules grossly underestimate what a group of PCs can handle, so it may not be an issue.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rime of the Frostmaiden Post-Mortem (Spoilers)

    I wonder how much the modules have been written this way to make them "easier to run". I would think that whether that is true has a lot to do with what players a DM has to work with.
