Due to conflicting schedules, my group hasn't been able to meet up for gaming for a few months, and this is likely to continue. I'm starting to experience that awful twitch. Not being able to do any gaming is driving me bonkers. :-S Anybody ever experienced this?

Hello all, I'm in the process of creating a 6th level character for an upcoming game. I've decided on a warlock, but haven't decided on the details. The idea is that this character suffers from an insatiable curiosity and ended up attracting the attentions of Neth, the Plane that Lives. Neth...

Illusion spells are offend praised for being one of the strongest options for spellcasters; minor image alone seems to be a required spell for all the casters who have access to it. I myself have never been fond of illusions; for all their flexibility, they're too dependent on the DM's...

I find myself in a bind. I am joining a game later today and still haven't decided on a character. The party consists of a Necromancer Wizard, Light Cleric, Shadow Monk, Assassin Rogue, and a ranged Archer Ranger. So clearly a tank/melee character is in order. However, I find myself unable to...

So, I like cantrips. While I'm not fond of a lot of the aspects of 5E (concentration, short durations, and the tiny number of spell slots), I love cantrips. To that end, I want to create a character who can get as many as possible. I'm joining a game in a couple of weeks. We start at 6th...

Does anyone have any experience playing warlocks at high levels (11+)? The class seems rather front loaded, getting many of the signature cool abilities at lower levels. Do they have any staying power in the higher levels?

I'm a big fan of the old Alienist prestige class from 3.0; the 3.5 version wasn't as neat, but that's a different rant. :p As a thought exercise, how would you go about creating a character whose modus operandi is dealing with alien horrors from beyond? The most obvious answer is a GOO Warlock...

I trying to decide on a new character for a 5e game. My previous character, a diviner wizard, is being retired because I dislike the magic system. The party consists of a Wood Elf druid, a Gnome archer ranger, a Human necromancer, and a Human light cleric, none of which are actually melee...

I'm considering rolling up a monk, but I'm a little uncertain of how well they play. Part of me is apprehensive about trying one; I still remember how inept they were in 3.5. Has anyone had the opportunity to play a monk? If so, what do you think of them? How well do they perform compared to...

So, I've been playing a human wizard (diviner) in my DM's homebrew setting. Thus far, we've been having a lot of fun with 5e, but I'm growing a bit concerned as we level up and I become more familiar with the rules and spells. I'm honestly at a lose as to what wizards are good for. In past...

Let me just preface this by saying that, overall, I'm loving 5E. That being said... One aspect I'm not too fond of are the skills. Specifically, how once you pick your class and background you are essentially locked in, and have no means of learning new skills. Basically, your character has no...

As I've been reading various forums, I've noticed most people agree that the warlock is a beast. But I'm not seeing that. Am I missing something about the class? It seems to me that they're magically gimped; they get a tiny handful of spells known, and even less slots. And most of their...

I'm currently in a group composed of a warlock, seeker, ranger, bard, and a psion. I've decided on bringing in a pixie character, but can't seem to choose a class for the little bugger. I start at 2nd level, and anything on the character builder is fair game. The basic idea behind this...

I find myself too far away from peeps to join a conventional game group, so I'm seeking a group of people who like to play over skype using one of the virtual game tables. I'm a decent roleplayer with more than a decade of experience under my belt. :)

I would like some help making a crusader for an up coming Age of Worms game. We start at 9th level, and I rolled the following stats: 16, 15, 14, 14, 13, 12. There are a few things to keep in mind: 1. We are using the Pathfinder RPG (3.5 material available with DM approval) 2. We are playing in...

I very recently started playing a beguiler from the Players Handbook 2, and am looking for tips/advice/etc on how to get the most bang for my buck when it comes to illusions. While I am familiar with play mages of all types, I usually avoid illusions and enchantments. Especially enchantments. I...

This came up last week as we were gaming. Many of the druids spells are plant based or designed to manipulate plant life; in fact, many of a druids special abilities seem dependent on plants and/or woodland areas. With that in mind, how useful are druids in desert settings, or for that matter...

My character, a cleric/binder, died last session. That's all fine and good, but now I have no clue what to play. All of the bases are covered; we have two tanks, a healer, trapfinder, and mage. I guess I'm looking for inspiration; game is on sunday, and I still have nothing to play. I haven't...

I'm actually posting this for a friend of mine who I game with. He is interested in playing multiclassed monk/paladin. We are using the Pathfinder RPG, but our DM is open to 3.5 materials on a case by case basis (with the exception of Tome of Battle and Psionics). Anywho, my friend would like...
