    D&D 5E (2014) Survivor Core Classes- Fighter Wins!

    Bard 15 Cleric 1 + 1 = 2 -- Whereas clerics run the gamut of alignments and are thereby more representational of the general public ... Druid 3 Fighter 14 Paladin 9 - 2 = 7 -- ... paladins use their self-righteous (and perhaps mistaken) perspective as a justification to smite (rogues like me)...

    Bard 18 Cleric 7 Druid 7 Fighter 20 Paladin 10 - Because I'd miss this class the least - and because my multiclass monk/sorcerer bought the farm when the party's paladin used his last remaining points in Lay on Hands to heal the party's barbarian instead.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mechanics for a hunt (with the characters being the hunted)

    1. I'm stealing this idea. 2. Roughly outline a number of things the PCs must accomplish within the time limit and what they know about the territorial boundaries. You can get ideas by looking at their class features for ways to challenge each of their strengths. Maybe their backgrounds will...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you make a 'Soldier' interesting?

    By your responses to comments in this thread, I get the impression that she is a very well-conceptualized character. She's like a staple food, nourishing but nothing to get your taste buds all a-tingle, and you're looking for some spice. She is stolid and dependable, a salt-of-the-earth type...

    What's her Flaw? Can that be worked to draw other players into taking her less for granted?

    Dnd 3.5 sewer enemy help

    Here's a thought: Steal some of the features of the bulette (MM p.34), but rework the stats to be CR-appropriate for the PC party's level, and re-skin it (re-shell it?) with the Martial Arts Adept (VGtM p.216).

    D&D 5E (2014) Aasimar Cleric build help

    The newest Unearthed Arcana came out on 6/5/2017 with updated versions of class options. The Undying Light option for the Warlock has been re-skinned as the Celestial. This might be serendipity made to order. P.S. Great handle, by the way: "Roi Cohen", it seems to me, can be translated as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Aasimar Cleric build help

    OH! I like that warlock with a Deva patron idea. That is an intriguing concept. It might require re-working one of the existing patron/pacts (Raven Queen? Undying Llght?), which could involve more work than a player returning to the game is ready to tackle. Nonetheless, that thinking...

    - or - ... use the domains you're thinking about to sort out the deities that have those domains, then see which deity feels more "right" for your character concept.

    Starfinder vs Alternity vs Traveller: Which Space Game to Buy?

    I wanted to laugh with this, too, on account of it being in the spirit of the old Disney Mouseketeers singing the Mickey Mouse Club song, and Donald Duck shouting his own name out every time Mickey's was sung. I always liked Donald Duck more!

    what was your favorite long-running dragon magazine comic?

    Perhaps because of the structure of the poll. We each get to vote for only one. If it were a ranked-favorites kind of poll, we'd be getting a more complex understanding of what we enjoyed. Personally, I liked all of the listed comics, and deeply appreciated the skill, wit, and creativity of...

    "... back in '64 ..." and the meter of the poem displaying its "ghastly mess". This, Sadras, is satiric, sly, and delightful.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Spell: Galling Stone

    Yes; ranged spell attack. Also, as others mentioned above, make it a 2nd-level spell. There's Earned Wisdom, and there's Received Wisdom. Your example is the former; sharing it with the rest of us is the latter. Thank you for taking the bullet for the rest of us on that experience!
