As the title says. I'm familiar with BG3 forms and 2E Faith's and powers. Thoughts so far. 1.Bane. Some sort of law cleric type with spells like Command and dominate person. CR 14ish. 2. Bhaal. His slayer form or other one. Or souped up 5E assassin with murder aura. CR 15 3. Mykul...

So this build is a Draconic Sorcerer build for 5.5. It's a striker-controller hybrid. It's a refined build mined from reddit, youtubers specifically Treantmonk's Sorcerer build, Dungeon Dudes class guides and tier lists, and d4 D&D deep dives. Mixed with real life playtesting at level 12 and...

Generally I find direct damage spelks marginal in 5E and even worse in 5.5. There's a few exceptions like ones with riders eg guiding bolt and older classics such as spirit guardians. Eldritch Blast is still good but not as good as 5.0 due to power creep but still decent on a Warlock (take it)...

So I haven't really used WotC encounters RAW since 2015 abd i usually either beef up official ones or run them through official dungeons under leveled. Eg I used a level 9 5.0 dungeon with 5.5 level 6 PCs (before new MM). General guideline I uses is 1 NPC of half CR give or take per PC add a...

Our Fighter/thief noped out and went solo fighter instead. I knew why. So made some changes. Unless otherwise noted same as PHB. 1. Added sneak attack same rate as 3E/5E. They can sneak attack flanking or beating opponent to initiative. They retain backstab. 2. Thief skills overhauled...

Here's the scenario. For whatever reason perhaps via Genie you are put in charge of D&D 2024 release. Bit of roleplaying here there's 3 different criteria I'm asking you to design. You don't need to design actually you're the boss order the peons about. Assume you have a decent budget and you...

So looking back the most popular and least popular races. I didn't keep track 100% but the most popular I saw over and over. Least popular I saw 0 or maybe once. Most Popular. In general humans, Elf variants and Tieflings. Tieflings beat up the drow and stoke their emo money. Least...

Brain was turning to mush due to daylight saving ending and I woke up at 5am new time. I planned an encounter. 5 level 8 pcs cs 5 DM special vampire spawn and a night bringer vampire. Myrkul buffed the basic spawn. They gained flight and basic class abilities. Cleric, fighter, wizard...

So PCs kind of failed their last adventure. They killed the bbeg but long rested. This gave the surviving cultists an opportunity to flee with a cauldron of doom. It's linked to Myrkul. It can create and bind undead. Dead 3 shenanigans in BG. About a year after the game. Set up is surviving...

So overall this ones mostly a hypothetical. For the most patr classes are fine at levels people play at. This criteria is what are you willing to play level 1-20 starting from level 1 or 3? This is not a I'll play whatever for fun's but what you think are the most effective classes start to...

So a sufficiently high level fighter. GWM. 4 attacks a round. Action surge 8. Cleave 9 Hew 10 Haste 11 Reaction attack 12 Reaction attack cleave 13. Asking for a friend.

So I may have messed up and encounter Rules say you can't target someone vehind full cover. Firing into heavily obscured area eg darkness you are blind. If someone's in darkness on a grid would you put minis down and let PCs fire at them with disadvantage or does being "blind" prevent that...

Simple thread. Share you warlock builds. I've vaguely remembered a couple other have posted please speak up if they're yours or if I have built them wrong. 1. Pact of Nothing. My build for warlock. Basically you don't take any pacts and aim at lots of secrets of the ancients. Various ways to...

What's your favorite trash TV secret shame you're willing to admit to? By trash it's something along the lines reality TV, a cooking show, talent show whatever. Years ago on 2000 I watched Survivor. Along with everyone else. But I never stopped and they're up to season 47. Also enjoy the...

As some if You know I'm running 3 groups. I ended up with that many due to large numbers of newer players. I ran them through Stormwrack Isle and Sunless Citadel. Games are now level 3 and 8. Several spells in 5.5 seem to have been influenced by BG3. Thaumaturgy and Command come to mind...

For years I have thought fireball is an over rated spells. But Zard you drunken kiwi how dare you say that. The designers even said it's overpowered!!!. 1. They made that comment years ago. 2. Most of the other damage dealing spells are D tier. So why is it C tier? This implies it's...

So the players decided to use LTH after defeating the BBEG in a dungeon. BBEG was a devourer CR 14. Level 7. Devourer got owned by command spells and basically got to do nothing. It had 4 refluffed Ogre Zombies in a desecrated area (immune to turning, resistance to radiant, opponents vulnerable...

I'm running 3 games. New one starting Thursday, one kicked off last week playing campaign 1 in 3 hours. Options. 1. 5E game. Theme Baldurs Gate 3.5 set after the game BG3 Set 6 months after camp scene in game. PCs have discovered the ebon Triad a Heretic branch if the dead 3 looking to merge...
