    A little help with Strength checks please

    Here is the thing. If your GM is giving the advantage to the large sized attacker for longer limbs providing greater leverage to counter strength, greater reach to cover dexterity, and greater mass making it harder to resist them by pushing them around (since 2 opponents of equal strength...

    D&D General Does anyone know where I can get 1.5 inch squre grid Fantacy battle maps?

    That's awesome and if I had a clear fiber class cover with a 1.5 inch grid on it I could just adjust until they match or use and image without a grid and get it to about the right scale for my figures and call it a day... unfortunate while I GM, we rotate GMs and my place is small so when its my...

    A little help with Strength checks please

    That doesn't make since. The nimbleness of a smaller opponent doesn't have anything to do with a competition of strength between them. If your saying that perhaps an opponent could use Dexterity (acrobatics) to escape because that is an option for escaping grapples that is one thing and in the...

    Casting Verbal spells in armour

    Player: "GM why can't I misty step out of these ropes because I not proficient in chain mail" GM: "I don't know. Your the Wizard, why don't you know? Shouldn't you be explaining that to me?" Player: "I don't see why I can't … so I cast misty step and teleport out of these binds" GM...

    D&D General Does anyone know where I can get 1.5 inch squre grid Fantacy battle maps?

    Well its not decorated with a prebuild map but that's defiantly better than anything I currently have. I just ordered one. Thanks. I guess if I want a tavern and I have to up size it and print it I can but I am still hoping someone knows of some pre-generated maps. I had found this failed...

    D&D General Does anyone know where I can get 1.5 inch squre grid Fantacy battle maps?

    I have been looking around for some 1.5 x 1.5 inch square grid battle maps for 2 reasons. 1. When I play D&D on inch maps they get so crowded you can't see the terrain much when fighting as well as over hang conflict between crowded figures. (partially because I like spearmen for unskilled...

    D&D 5E (2014) Gut-Checking to My Jerk-DM Level (ToA Spoilers)

    The problem with the long rest not being as effective, is that they are not running on a clock. They can keep resting until they knock off the effect. The focus checks might make a long rest take longer but we in modern times get up on a clock and get insufficient rest. A group of adventures had...

    Protection fighting style after tier 1

    None of the fighting styles scale and as such they are better at level 1 one than they will ever be again. +1AC means more at level 1 with attacks of +5 then it does at higher levels when to hit reduces chance of missing at higher levels drastically scaling up to +11. For example a level 1...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mob rule and grappling

    Seems like an easier way would be to give a static +1 bonus for each helping NPC up to 7, since you can only put 8 NPCs around one character on a grid map. Roll athletics for the grappling NPCs Str + Pof + #of NPCs "helping the first" and the player roles Athletice or Acrobatics skill check...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Well the motivation was starting to die off... but then they dropped the conversion to a Series instead of movie... that then expands thought each story arc. The limit on donations was more or less "what does this do for me or them?" however, now that its running into the story arcs they can...

    Critical Role Critical Role Kickstarter Predition Game: Guess the Funding Outcome (GTFO)

    I have a feeling that with the new stretch goals my $6,000,000 just got blown. Before they released the one "movie" to series conversion it looked like the motivation for funding was pretty low but If they want to do a whole animated series I could see critters and D&D fans pooling together to...

    Critical Role Critical Role Kickstarter Predition Game: Guess the Funding Outcome (GTFO)

    I am going to stick with $6 million. I know that seems low right now but it is slowing down. I am curious to see if they can keep any momentum with all got good but affordable prizes gone. I would revise my bid a bit higher, but I never win anyway so I am going to stick to my guns. lol.

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    You might not be wronge but the run to 3.5 was insane fast but the run to 4.5 was way slower. I have no doubt that they will hit 5 and you might be right that they shatter 6 but even with the late game spike, the best prices that poeple can aford are gone. Even with 144,345 backers as an...

    Critical Role Critical Role's Kickstarter Breaks $1,000,000 In About An Hour!

    Sure session 2 has 3,833,400 views on the first video however, The back rewards have limits at the higher levels and their is a cap of the number of critters with money to spare. The 1K, 2.5K, 5K, and 10K rewards are gone so I suspect your going to see a massive drop of going forward. They might...

    Archer build

    The Key is how your GM handles searching for traps. If your GM allows perception for checking for traps: Then elf Keen Senses gets you proficiency with perception and sub races to get proficiency with a ranged weapon: Drow: Drow Weapon Training = Hand crossbow Sea Elf: Sea Elf Training = Light...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Is Here! & UA Schedule Changes

    I mean if that is your house rule sure, but my GM does not allow it. Having RAW for a class is big deal at my GMs table. I have been allowed to change once but because he didn't want me to use a cantrip (guidance) so I was allowed one I could use. Not because I just didn't like my pick.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Is Here! & UA Schedule Changes

    A good post. I agree they should stick with magic and make Tinker/Engineer something else like The Critical Role gunslinger. By the title of Artificer, they should be about infusing objects into magic items. What like, I REALLY like, its the Crafting bonus, Infuse Item, Spells storing(though...

    I posted about this in the on the way announcement but see this maybe here is better, Very curious what other have to say, here is my first impressions: First thing I notice...
