It's sort of self-balancing right now. If the fighter knows that the party are going to leave her when she goes down then she'll be less inclined to go into combat. Or maybe she'll use her Action Surge to run away from the beastie leaving the healer to face it? But I would suggest avoiding...

Something to consider is that you only roll when the result is in doubt. If the campaign style is 'grim & gritty' then you might elect to not roll when the low-charisma PC is acting in that vein. Similarly if the campaign style is 'Hollywood heroics' then you don't roll if the PC is being heroic.

Are you sure you're looking at it the right way? The fighter - who does not have healing ability - going toe-to-toe with the beastie knows she can be taken out with a big hit. Instead, how about asking how to provide a disincentive to players to allow other PCs to drop to 0 HP that doesn't...

Try giving Fighters a second bonus action at 6th level instead of the feat.

How about no stat bumps, two feats, +1 skill proficiency and 1 tool proficiency?

ISWYDT. :LOL: (y)

The ursine / werebear looks cool.

Nice one. My only qualms are that Scorching Whirlwind doesn't seem sufficiently potent for something that costs two LAs unless you lower the throw threshold and that for something responsible for earthquakes he doesn't have any related abilities. I also note that he's easy meat for archers and...

Take a look at this post https://www.enworld.org/threads/how-would-you-balance-this-modification-to-spellcasters.641458/post-7432652 Basically spellcasters have about half the spell slots and recover 1 spell per spell level on a long rest and 1 spell per spell level up to Proficiency Bonus...

Agreed, which is why I didn't say it was fun. Indeed I drew the difference between the two earlier in my post.

Cool item. How about dropping the +1 and giving it something flashy like Thunder damage? This would tie in with the knockdown property: targets would take damage and fall. And as a super-heavy weapon it should have what I call the Collision property: roll the dice twice and take the better set...

If the players have no agency - and agency includes the PCs being in a fight - then it is unfair and - more importantly - unfun. An exploding die in combat is totally fair. A natural 1 is totally fair. Three failed Death Saves is totally fair. Sometimes s*** happens. If you has a DM want to kill...

Wrong name. Other than that, great job!

Fake / decoy tombs are historically accurate, but don't make it too difficult for the players. As I said in another thread, neither you nor they are Sherlock Holmes.

I have the book and I feel free to chuck or include whatever I want. If I want my elves to be plant-human hybrids and my orcs to be pig-human hybrids created by Suel mages then those are parts of my Greyhawk campaign world. They don't need to be part of your Greyhawk campaign world.

Just a thought, but have you run a murder-mystery before? The plot here is fiendish. If you haven't then perhaps you should try one with a far simpler plot, not only to gauge how difficult you find it but also to gauge how difficult your players find it.

+1 The only clue mentioned is someone with a Ring of Mind Shielding. Good luck getting the PCs to twig that. Bluntly, you and I and your players aren't Sherlock Holmes.

You'd be surprised at how easy it is for large animals like elephants to disappear into foliage. And elephants move in herds.

I don't have the PHB to hand but spellcasters have magic, the barbarian has extra movement, the rogue has a special action, and I'm not sure about the monk. We went through this a while back: people forget about attacks from Bonus Actions and Reactions. The Fighter needs to use Action Surge...
