Mindra will ask around for those that could use some help and will assist where she can in getting people ready to go.

I agree with this plan.

I think it would be very rare from me to decide on the number first and then decide what the character is. I would probably think something like, "The blacksmith should be strong... human? No, I'll make him a mountain dwarf and make him even stronger." Then I would set the strength at 18, while...

You might not, but others would. I would give a mountain dwarf, half-orc or dragonborn smith an 18 strength. Or maybe not, because they are individuals, but I would take their race into consideration. And I don't care what exact ability scores ever single individual in a race has either, but I...

I was thinking of Bigby's Helping Hand. Just gives the Help action.

Okay, it occurs to me that my spell is way better than True Strike, which only gives the caster advantage on his next attack, lasts for a minute and requires concentration. However, True Strike is a complete crap spell and should be removed from the PHB. I nominate my spell as the official...

I considered making it untargetable, like a Mage Hand, but then it doesn't really feel like a Bigby's Hand spell. Chill Touch has the spectral hand clinging to you for a full round, but I have never heard of anyone trying to attack it or spend a round trying to knock it off. How do they know...

Honestly it is almost flavor text. It could have an AC of 1 and attacking it would still be a complete waste of time. It is the same action to cast a new one and have it attack as to have it move and attack. The caster could just cast it every round and it would have the same effect. I only...

The more I think about it the more I like Commander. The only real downside is people worrying about the "I'm the leader!" issue, and I think that would be pretty rare. And in many cases the character that the Warlord/Commander embodies is a leader or commander type character. On the criticism...

Yes. Just wanted to point out it would only affect "willing" targets. So nobody is forcing anybody to do anything. Unless it is the enemy, which then prompts a saving throw. And even then it wouldn't be, "move here!" and you move against your will if you miss your save. I'm sure there will be...

I would say it is magical in the same way as Bardic Inspiration. And just saying that the buffs effect "a willing creature" pretty much removes the "I don't want to be forced to do things!" argument. If you did it, you were willing. If you are not willing, you don't have to do it. If it is a...

Deleted as well. Reply to renbot's post that I didn't read properly either. LOL

You can also have Bigby's Rude Hand. Basically it has the same effect as Vicious Mockery, but it makes rude gestures at you instead of verbally insulting you. :)

I would do it this way: Bigby's Punching Fist (or Bigby's Backhand) evocation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute You create a Tiny fist of shimmering, translucent force in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The hand lasts for the...

Yes, humans are more naturally charming and persuasive than elves. Slightly, like 2.5% better on average. And they are, on average, 2.5% less dexterous. And sure, Lotusden halflings can be wiser and more perceptive than gnomes. Why not? Isn't that more interesting than, "No, they are the same as...

I don't believe that the WotC designers believed that the racial ASIs were meant to be archetypes at the outset of 5e. It strains credulity that they didn't assign racial stat bonuses as representative of biological abilities of the species they were portraying and were instead just trying to...

I 100% agree! Halflings, as a general rule, being much smaller, should be physically weaker than orcs. But it is perfectly okay for a player character halfling to be the exception. Total agreement! Yep! Agree again! Here we disagree. Racial ASI doesn't point you to a single class, but it does...

I played very little 4th edition, but I was there for the "great warlord debate" soon after the release of 5e. My understanding of it is this... When making 4th edition they assigned power sources and roles to all of the character classes. Power sources were Arcane, Divine, Martial and Primal...

I chose Commander and Tactician. Those names seem to be descriptive, like the Bard, Cleric or Rogue, or even the Fighter. The names also seem, to me at least, evocative in that they immediately bring to mind a positive image of someone that is confident and in control of the situation. Which...

It is absurd to accept that a three-foot tall halfling is as strong as a six-and-a-half foot tall human or tiefling. At least it is unless you make some further assumptions. Previous version of the game reduced the carrying and lifting capacity of small sized characters to account for this and...
