    D&D 5E (2014) Mounted Combat Questions

    War Horse Trampling Charge I would house-rule this as a bonus action usable anytime you've charged the requisite 20-foot distance on an attack. If the charge travels more than 20 feet, I'd define the targets as any creatures of Large size or smaller in the spaces traveled through during the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mounted Combat Questions

    Regarding a horse's Attack (Hooves), these come in two types. There's a rearing kick with the fore-hooves, a pawing, wind-milling assault that thankfully, I've never had to face. Depending on circumstances, I might require a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check for a rider when its mount...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mounted Combat Questions

    I cannot picture combat on horses that are not trained for it as anything less than chaotic. As a DM, I would have the PCs make a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check vs. DC 10 in the first round of combat, specifically because a riding horse has not received the training that a war horse has. For a...

    D&D 5E (2014) [HELP] Looking for an illustration for a Half-Eladrin Sorcerer with Dragon Origin (Silver Dragon)

    WotC's DnD Insider for 4e had some wonderful illustrations for their online PC character sheets. Unfortunately, it's the only thing that comes to mind and I'm unsure if it's still available.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you care about setting "canon"?

    No, but it sounds like a hell of an adventure setting! P.S. You forgot the Daleks.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you care about setting "canon"?

    Likewise; Jester David says it well. First example that comes to mind of auteurs changing canon comes from Star Wars, not D&D. The newest movie ignored the canon that had been maintained through the first six movies and well over a hundred novels set in the Star Wars universe, making...

    D&D 5E (2014) Making new warlock. Need advice on Magic Initiate Feat

    CCS: I've never met your halfling warlock, but I like it already. <<Uh, that's not some kind of charm spell, is it? Dang, I hate it when I fail my save vs. charm!>>

    D&D 5E (2014) Earthquake Spell Question

    That's what it looks like to me, too. I don't find anything in Errata or Sage Advice Compendium that states otherwise. Damage to a creature on any spot where a fissure opens who fails the Dexterity check would simply take the falling damage for the 10-foot drop, but it doesn't look like the...

    Lord of the Monsters: New Warlock patron (based on new Ranger playtest)

    Intriguing, especially in the twist where the PC doesn't gain the Otherworldly Patron Features after the Expanded Spell Lists and the Pact Boon beastie itself. I think you may be onto something here.

    D&D 5E (2014) Two monk Ways I need help bringing to fruition

    Can we cobble together something that uses some of dmnqwk’s and bedir than’s notions, along with an idea of mine? Let’s take a look at it: The Way of the Blind Monk Some people are born blind. To others it comes about through disease or misadventure. To the former, it is natural to take it in...

    "The Way of the Unseeing" If Marvel's Daredevil was a D&D character, this would be where we'd find him.

    QB's Monstrous Races

    Comment 1: I wish I didn't have to get to work, because I want to examine these more. I like what I'm seeing, even if a bit bemused by some of it. Dread Genasi? How does that compute given the Elemental basis for the race? Comment 2: Unfortunately, I have not seen your threads before, although...

    Filling out the missing dinosaurs

    Looks like I was preaching to the choir. Mentioning that you'd used the MM wolf to guide your velociraptor development nudged a memory off of an old, dusty shelf in my brain. It doesn't apply directly to this thread, but years ago someone in something I'd read (so much for accurate...

    Filling out the missing dinosaurs

    First of all, I like and appreciate your work on these. About the calculation of CR, I share your frustrations. In the "good ol' days" (cue the sarcastic laughter) XP took the role that CR does now. Lots of XP simply equaled Tough Monster. CR, which takes into account a more complicated...

    Cleric Domain: Cold

    A new thread was just posted for a similar Domain. I like the comparison/contrast between the two variations, as being like the differences one might find between competing religious traditions. Here's the link: Read more...

    Cleric Winter Domain

    This brought to mind a similar offering from a posting from some time ago: Read more: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?459537-Cleric-Domain-Cold#ixzz3dJtilwmr There are enough points of comparison and contrast to provide some nice flavoring as might be found between differing religions.

    [5e] Druid Circle of the Rat Swarm. Feedback needed

    Pigeon Swarm! I love it! Some people describe them as flying rats anyway.
