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

    What do you all think of items such as: Fire/Acid/Poison Arrows that do +1d4 typed damage. Medium (also possibly Heavy) Armor "pads" that get rid of Disadvantage on Steath. Shield "straps" that make it a Bonus Action to Don/Doff your shield. Mundane items that mimic the effect of spells, such...

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

    That's great stuff. Ultimately, I would prefer to keep things simple, but I'm not sure how possible it will be to get the kind of thing that I want to see without it being a bit... involved. It's why it's taken me so long to get to this - I would rather "Houserule" as little things as possible...

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

    I apologize to anyone following along that this project isn't going to move more quickly - I'm pretty busy, and I'm still mostly collecting thoughts, in spite of having thought about it for years. So this one is obvious, but I'm going to put my thoughts down here. Here's a pretty obvious...

    So excited.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Apparently she thought that my post was too depressing, because she started acting silly (most energy she's had in days) since I posted that one and started looking more like this:

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Thanks! I'll see if I can get to it soon. I've been a little low-morale lately. My (nearly) 14-year old Golden Retriever is ill - probably won't make it to next week. Here she is right now, poor thing:

    D&D 5E (2024) Better Monster Design. 6E/BG3 Ideas

    I'll bite: How do you do 150 damage in one attack with a BG3 Fighter?

    I will keep in mind that carrot is better than stick!

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

    Hmm... it seems like we are saying that tying Lifestyle together with both Resting and Reknown would be the way to go!

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

    In my F2F games, in which I have personally made the character sheets for (nearly) all of the characters, their lifestyle is prominently placed near the character's "purse" in their equipment section. I charge them their lifestyle whenever they spend a night in town. So, while I would say that...

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

    This is all good stuff! To answer a few questions: I'm not against some minor changes to feats or spells, but other than having an eye toward how our final draft would interact with those things, I'd prefer to make it something that can be 'ported in as a package (replacing equipment and magic...

    Sure. It'll give me the chance to take a look at a completed character using the new rules.

    I'm sorry that I have been slow to push each group forward, I've had a lot on my mind lately. Please feel free to keep giving me nudges.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lake Muragh the Usurper looked from Aywin to Loklafd's glowing sword - metallurgy itself was beyond his people's usual capabilities, and what metal he possessed had been traded, found, or stollen. Though his own Trident glowed magically as well, it had been a prize, and he did not...

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

    I'm going to "show my work" here so that you can comment on it and talk me off the ledge, if I need it. I welcome discussion. Today, I've been looking at, well, I started thinking about healing, but I've gone other places. To start: I figure that because D&D allows Magic to do EVERYTHING and...

    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 3: Magazines

    Very few of those near me. I mean, there's lots if you cross the big long red line (that is only about a half-hour's drive south) but very few take that route these days, relative to the "before times".

    It's only, what, a 17-hour flight and a couple of grand. What's stopping you? :p

    It's not just you @Gradine. I loved both entries, but the exclamation marks made my eyes bleed. I honestly considered cut-and-pasting it into word and search-and-replacing them for periods so I could read it easier. I think that I would have, if I had been the judge.
