    D&D 5E Downtime Training questions

    Xanathar's Guide gives guidelines for training in terms of tools and languages (10 weeks minimum, reduce by INT modifier). It gives a gold cost, which doesn't matter since this question involves party members. So, three questions... (1) What determines whether or not a character can teach a...

    D&D 5E Spell Question: Pulse Wave

    A subterranean creature has reached up out of the ground and grabbed the Wizard. He aims down at the ground and casts Pulse Wave. The creature is about two feet below the surface. What effect would it have? The spell description says any creature within the 30' cone must save vs CON or take 6d6...

    D&D 5E Attunement question

    I'm trying to decide if I should require attunement for an item. A Paladin in my group recently obtained a holy sword (that he attuned to). During that process, his hand and forearm were transformed into a living gemlike material and which now provides certain bonuses and abilities (+2 to...

    D&D 5E Above VTT and D&D Beyond

    I thought I'd mention this for those that are interested in VTTs. This is actually a Chrome extension (free). With it, as GM, you get a button on your campaign page in D&D Beyond to open a VTT. It has full access to the character sheets, D&D Beyond dice roller, etc. It has the basics, fog...

    My players came across a Wand of Sleep (6 charges). They need the money and would like to sell it. Is there any guideline on how much they might get for this?

    D&D 5E Primal Order for 5e?

    Just curious. I really enjoyed Wizard of the Coast's 'Primal Order' books waaay back before they owned D&D, and even before M:tG. (I have a particular grudge against M:tG because it's success caused WotC to drop the Primal Order line.) Has anyone updated The Primal Order for 5e? I'd love to...

    D&D 5E Homebrew Classes

    DISREGARD: I found it. I can't find how to delete this thread, though... I feel like I'm going crazy. I know I saw a source of nicely formatted homebrew classes and backgrounds...could have sworn I'd downloaded a few...now I can't find them. I also can't find where I found them to try again...

    D&D 5E Shapeshifter question

    I'm going to be using D&D for an existing setting. So far I've found analogs for the various races and professions, except for one. The setting has a race of Lycanthropes. They're the result of a magical war ages past and have become their own race. They don't cause lycanthropy in those they...

    D&D 5E New DM Question on Options

    I've run games for decades...but no D&D since it was AD&D. I see a lot of sources to draw on for Class Options, Backgrounds, etc. Some fit well with what I'm looking for...but I was wondering if there were any that I should steer clear of -- ones that might be overpowered, unbalanced, or can...
