    Hello everyone, since my last character in my group just died (rip lvl 2 rogue) I need to make a new character and had the idea to play somewhat of a Warforged that has been built as a protector unit. Since we are lvl 2 I wouldve played a lvl 1 Fighter/lvl 1 Cleric (probably life, maybe order...

    D&D 5E Sword of Swift Strikes

    Hey everyone, recently I thought a lot about the Fighter-Samurais ability to turn an attack with advantage into two normal attacks. While I love the flavor of this I hate that its not something you think about using, because its just a straight upgrade. In both situations you roll 2 attacks...

    D&D 5E Robes of Mage Armor

    Hey everybody, I allow my PC´s to create their own magic items using the creation rules from the books as a baseline, but I made it a bit easier (e.g. they dont need a "formula" for each item). Now one of my PC´s asked me, if he could make something like "Robes of Mage Armor" so he wouldnt have...

    Dragon Slayer Longbow?

    Hello everyone, before I get into my question just some base knowledge: Currently playing a 5e homebrew campaign with 5 players. The characters are lvl 12 and their world is currently facing a dragon crysis. This part of the plot is a lot about our ranger who just found out that she was a great...

    D&D 5E Demon Cults and Deals

    Hey everybody, I have a question about DnD lore. For the next chapter in my campaign I thought about having some kind of cult. It´s undead-themed so Orcus came to my mind, but the problem is, is worshipping a demon of any use? I mean devils are known for making deals and empowering mortals to...

    D&D 5E Dark Gifts from the Amber Temple and being "coerced"

    Careful, Spoilers ahead for Curse of Strahd Hey everyone, I´m running CoS for a couple of friends and they just entered the Amber Temple. After reading the specifics for the Amber Sarcophagi, a question came to my mind. You can not accept dark gifts if you have been "manipulated or coerced"...

    D&D 5E Aura of the Guardian against damage that drops the paladin to 0?

    Hey everyone, I have a redemption paladin in my game, and he had a theoretical question that I couldn´t answer. This is probably one of those "just do it as you wish at your table"-things but just wanted to know if anybody had an idea how to handle it RAW. Lets say we have the redemption...

    Do Maintenance Costs include Lifestyle Expenses?

    My party had a lot of downtime recently, and most of them lived in a modest lifestyle (1GP/day) during that time. But while they were resting they also had someone build them a fort. Now that the fort will be finished soon they asked me if the costs in the future will only be the 50GP/day...

    Artifact Ideas (Vestiges)

    Hey everybody, inspired by Critical Roles "Vestiges of Divergence" (for those who don´t know them they´re basically really powerful magic items that start good and slowly become legendary), I wanted my players to have a "personal" magic item, too. These are meant to be artifact level items...

    D&D 5E Keoghtoms Ointment VS Aboleth Disease

    Im planning to have a fight against an Aboleth for my (currently lvl 7, might be 8 till they meet him) party of 5. Once I read about the disease he inflicts upon getting hit I wondered what my party could do to heal somebody. The disease says that it can only be removed by "heal" or another...

    D&D 5E Getting skills from another class after a soulswap

    Hello everybody, I´m DMing a group of 6th lvl characters, of which most have played these since first level. To give my players a little variety, I had (as part of an ancient spell in an old ruin) them "swap souls". But unlike the usual "you keep your mental stats and take the physical stats"...

    Hello everybody, I'm running a D&D 5th campaign and my players are soon hitting lvl 4. Now I have a player (Wood Elf/Ranger/Beastmaster) whos interested in the feat "Skulker". When we read over it I brought up that the 3rd bonus "Dim light doesn't impose disadvantage on your wisdom(perception)...

    D&D 5E Labyrinthine dungeon in the feywild

    Hello everybody, I'm running a 5th edition game and my players just stepped into the feywild. They're on the hunt for a displacer beast(they have no idea what that is yet except the name and the fact that it has tentacles;) ) and I'm thinking about having them go through a maze of bushes and...
