    D&D 5E (2014) DMGuild: Adversaries & Allies: over 50 new NPCs for 5e

    Re your OTOH, ProgBard: In the game Rock, Paper, Scissors (Lizard, Spock version, too) it's always seemed to me to be a place where Art and Math are interwoven.

    Al-Qadim: Land of Fate (5e conversion)

    Two other sources, adaptations for 5e from material originally produced for 13th Age, have additional Backgrounds that might add useful flavor in a 5e AQ setting: Midgard Heroes for 5e (7) Background Page Corsair p.18 Darkling p.19 Fey-Touched p.20 Guild Merchant p.22 Master...

    Al-Qadim: Land of Fate (5e conversion)

    Re: Astrologer - check out Seamus' http://collegeoflore.com/astrologer/ astrologer Background. It's not an archetype, much less a class, but it might still be useful. Mind you, although I browsed some Al Qadim material back in 2e days, I never played in or ran any games in that setting, so I am...

    why no Warforged

    Also, one might assume that since warforged (one of my personal favorites) are "officially" specific to Eberron, their inclusion likely awaits the roll-out of supplements related to that game world. The announcement that the next world to be so explored is Ravenloft gives hope that Eberron may...

    Need Help with a Bow Wizard Feat

    This /is/ better - much more streamlined in its ambience. By eliminating the additional spells, and tying any included cantrip or spell directly to an archetype feature, it is distinctive from other class archetypes. It carries well the feel of a pragmatic caster in dangerous world. Here's...

    Bheur Hag

    One question: What is the correct pronunciation of "bheur"? It's a well-done conversion, btw.

    Spirit Shaman

    Overall, I like it. Some questions: Wild Empathy: Does the 1/2 proficiency bonus (rounded down) addition to Animal Handling get added to that skill only if the shaman does not have proficiency in it, or even if it's already a proficient skill? Spirit Form: This feature does not address the...

    D&D 5E (2014) What PC does Huge DPS in your party ?

    Sheesh. That does seem broken. It's not just you. Well, one thing is that I would not be distributing any +2 items until 3rd tier, but that's just in my campaign, and that would only reduce attack/damage rolls by 1. A question: Did your group roll for abilities, or use the point-buy method...

    Magic missile conversion question

    Points taken. Somewhere recently, I remember reading a suggestion to add the level of the spell-slot used to each missile, which would certainly up the damage potential. I'm still musing on the game-balance of that idea. To add to the mix, cbwjm posted earlier today (3 January 2016) a Forked...

    Need Help with a Bow Wizard Feat

    There's nothing for you to apologize for. Although unfinished, it has a certain brilliance in solving defendi's problem, imho.

    Need Help with a Bow Wizard Feat

    First, kudos to you on how you are bringing a new young player into the game. Your willingness to go the extra mile to find a PC build that will suit his imagination represents what the very best DMs strive toward. Second, I've thought about letting all players take a free feat at first level...

    Expanding Custom Background Options

    Inherently unsavory, yes, but not unprecedented. Remember that the man who wrote the hymn Amazing Grace went through that very transformation in his life; the lyric "... saved a wretch like me" and others in the song refer to that situation.

    D&D 5E (2014) SCAG Half-Elf Variant

    ... and there it is, SCAG p.116. I stand corrected.

    D&D 5E (2014) SCAG Half-Elf Variant

    Per a recent Sage Advice, this was touched on: chrisperkinsDnD What's a good build for half drow. Also would they receive lolthtouched powers? — Roderick D. Gainey (@UndyingGotunks) November 6, 2015 I would treat them as half-elves (because that's what they are). No drow magic but also no...

    D&D 5E (2014) curses and diseases

    In the RW, people will generally seek medical advice when symptoms become noticeable. Sometimes, though, a problem will show up in a regular check up. So ask yourself: do any of the party members get regular health screenings by either the party's healer or by an NPC healer? We know that combat...

    Saga houserules?

    Check out this website for ideas: http://www.starwarsrpgindex.com/ The SWSE was not really popular, which had a lot to do with ending the contract between Lucas Films and WotC. This website is better than any of the others I have found over the years. The only group I played this RPG with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Harper's Pin

    Harper Pins: The Forgotten Realms' poorly developed answer to Blue Tooth. All they can transmit is your allegiance, and the "reception" they get may not be ... user-friendly. Still, I've always liked the Harpers, and Mephista's reminder about Evans' magic-tattoo work-around in the Brimstone...

    Homebrew Class : The Messiah, a hybrid between Bard and Cleric

    Conclusion: with a few tweaks, imo it's a workable class.
