:eek::eek::eek: And it's on special for 89 cents! Must. Have.

Now that's just crazy talk! :eek:

I dunno, as DM I'd totally allow a wish to grant a 9th level slot... which could then only be used to upcast a cantrip! :ROFLMAO:

Lilliputian Death Knight.

I kinda-sorta did this in my previous campaign! :D The BBEG for the first half of the campaign was a human dual-class Wizard/Warrior (2nd ed campaign). For years (in game and out) he was a royal pain for different groups of PCs. At one point, a generation later (in game) the new group of PCs...

Okay, so what you are suggesting here is a fringe example that could 100% legally apply because WISH by its nature changes the rules. It doesn't have to honour the baseline RAW because it creates a scenario that goes beyond the printed rules. It would ultimately be up to the DM to allow it or...

Going by the letter of the law, so to speak, you could possibly make a case for a Single classed wizard who has his spell slots somehow artificially increased being able to scribe and prepare a spell that is normally higher than his ability to cast. This, to my mind, would be contrary to the...

No, that's exactly the point. They can only prepare as if they were single classed, and since a single classed wizard at 1st level cannot prepare anything other than first level spells, being multiclassed and having the 2nd level spell slot doesn't alter that fact. You can, at best, upcast your...

I guess about 25% or so... There's often a dungeon present and they occur regularly, but players don't always go in. My group tends to be the traveling kind, and have more overland and wilderness adventures, with a healthy dose of in-town shennanigans than anything else.

I ran it for my 1e group, although I don't have the Orange cover version so I don't know the differences off hand. I kept the core set up, the Valley of Haven was protected by spirits that kept the humanoid races out, and otherwise was an isolated, idyllic community where anyone who lived there...

I have to say, the idea of starting in a tavern is fine as a standard. Taverns are, after all, public meeting places. I just hate when campaigns start there and no one knows each other, thus leading to some very awkward stares and bland attempts at roleplaying before being shoehorned into an...

Cliche (of which I wholeheartedly admit I'm guilty of playing!): Surly, scottish dwarves wielding battleaxes. Subversion: Cheerful dwarf with a lisp, wielding a frying pan. :unsure:

Natural byproduct of DMing and not playing for so long, of course. :devilish:

Dov, 12th Level Human Druid (2nd Edition). Edit: ooops - forgot about my teenage years playing BECMI - had a 21st level fighter once. Been so long...

I ran a campaign for 18 years using the Player's Options series... though I did make the mistake early on of allowing almost EVERYTHING... o_O(spoiler alert: It's a bad idea) That said, the options books do have a lot of interesting features DMs can carefully introduce. I personally love the...

Take the 'mechanical' realities of the monsters and dress them up with flavour. So you're giving them information without revealing a statblock or abilities. 'There was once a tale of a woman by the sea... the fishermen always said to stay away, and plug your ears because she sang a song so...

Curse you! You beat me to it. 🤣

Yeah, gotta start saving my pennies. I have the other 5 in the line and am quite pleased with them. I may have to put together an actual 5e campaign to make use of them at some point, as opposed to just bookshelf curiosities. :oops:

I have run U1 several times for different groups. U2 only twice, and never completed the trilogy as DM. (Though as player, the DM who first put me through it ran all three and we made it to the final Enemy and died) I think it's a great series but for me the key is the setting. Create Saltmarsh...

Add my voice to the 'almost always DM' pile, as opposed to 'sometimes.' I have read the 1st ed, 2nd ed and 5th ed DMG's from cover to cover, but I only generally review the 1st ed DMG with regularity.
