How would you design a biological race that is Inherently Evil? I think the main way would have to be through some supernatural imperative. Maybe a race of goblins that are so biologically territorial that they fly into murderous rages whenever someone trespasses on what they believe to be...

Can you think of an existing monster or race that would be both Small and have a Strength bonus or Powerful Build? What racial abilities would you give them?

This is very subjective on multiple levels, but what order would you rank saving throws in your own game? For me it would probably be... Wisdom, Constitution, Dexterity, Charisma, Strength, Intelligence I know some people value Dexterity less because it's just HP damage, but just HP damage has...

I have a player who is interested in using a Beast of the Earth, from the UA Class Variants. He wants the appearance to be an Ape. Both are size medium and both are beasts, so that checks out. He wants to give his ape armor, a shield, and a weapon. I thought I would crowdsource some discussion...

I've got a theory. It might be bunnies.

Born from a discussion amongst friends, would you consider a rock to be an improvised weapon or a simple weapon? If the latter, would you rule differently depending on the size of the rock? Sling stone vs club sized vs stone giant rock for example.

This is just a list of creepy and atmospheric things to add to your game. Most of them are not intended to be serious threats, but to play with the expectations and emotions of your party. Digestive Ooze - Any living creature tricked into eating flakes of this ooze must make a DC11 Constitution...

Not liking the shape of this. It's certainly powerful in a batman-utility sort of way, but I didn't expect the Artificer to become a "Must Have Pet" class. My potion thrower is gone, and the party Beastmaster is giving me side-eye. Unless you can put Returning Weapon on the potions you throw.

Do AOE spells trigger Voice of Authority? Spells such as Burning Hands or Fireball. More generally, is something inside an AOE considered "Targeted?"

I recently got into a debate about whether or not objects could be hidden. I thought it would be interesting to turn this into a poll and discussion about the topic. And when I say hidden, I mean gaining the same benefits as having taken the Hide Action. I believe that objects can be Hidden...

This was inspired by the Anti-DM Tips thread. Even the best DM's have bad habits and things they know they need to improve on. What are you personally bad at, or need to learn to do better? 1) I struggle when the players split the party. I find it really stressful to run two scenes...
