The way Nystul's (or is it Arcanist's?) Magic Aura works, is that it hides the magical aura produced by the object or effect. The interactions between the Magic Aura spell and Identify had been asked before and it seems that Identify​ could show the caster the false aura. But would Detect Magic...

I'm planning on running an evil campaign where the players start as Demons. Because there is a large variety of demons ranging from CR 1 to 20 (Balor), I'd like to select a few demon types, that are close to CR 5 and adjust them slightly so that they're either Advanced to CR 5 or Regressed from...

5e noob here. My DM house ruled the Magic Initiate Feat from the PHB. It does all the same things as the original feat plus it gives you an additional 2+Int Mod spell points (we use spell points instead of slots). I'd have the ability to cast four additional cantrips or two additional level 1...

My PCs just hit level 2 and I'm running a campaign based in Elsir Vale with a lead up to the Red Hand of Doom at level 5. During their first level, they have become established in the town of Brindol by taking over an old tavern and making it their own. I'm thinking that as they get settled in...

So the party is currently in the middle of a dungeon crawl. Illithids are using the dungeon of this ruined castle to conduct experiments on creatures, both local and extra planar. Their experiments have resulted in some peculiar aberrations being formed. The dungeon itself has many rooms that...

The plane of Limbo isn't as rich as the material plane in terms of adventures and settings. What I'd like to do is adapt some adventures or adventure paths into Limbo, targeting level 7-12 (I don't mind jumping part-way into an adventure path). What I'm looking for is a setting that has a good...

I have a player whose playing a Bard. He is new to D&D and I would like to design one or more encounters/situations to help him explore his Bardly skills. He is: - Level 3 Bard. - Has ranks in Craft(Alchemy). - Has ranks in Perform. - Is a Gnome Paragon. - Has a ton of arcane scrolls (but no...

So, I'm finding that my players are not experienced enough with playing D&D to be paranoid and mistrustful of everything. They tend to walk into a cave or ruined fortress without making any checks. They are new, so for the first few sessions, I reminded them. But now it's dozens of sessions...

So, what if there is a good 'ol fashioned train heist where the players are victorious. But to their demise, the train has not stopped and the engineer is missing/dead. How could the players avoid disaster, what would you do? I'm looking for ideas on how players could take control of the train...

I'm toying with the idea of making almost every spell known in D&D available in scroll form. Now, I realize that this might be a difficult thing to do, but I'd like to get some ideas thrown out there. I have a general rule in my campaign. If you want a feat, spell, base/prestige class from any...

I had a rather fun thought. A bit cliche... I've been desperately trying to figure out where to take my campaign. I've started with some lore about the House of Vol and the Queen of the Dead, Lady Vol. The lore regarding her whereabouts and what she has been doing the last 3000 or so year is a...

I'm going to have a section of my campaign be within the walls of a high security Prison. This is a fantasy setting (Eberron), so I'm expecting the players to see some malicious and dastardly villains. What I'm having trouble is coming up with memorable archetypes for the players to deal with...

I'm running a campaign with three players, however one of them requested a short leave of absence (about 3 sessions worth) to do real life things. So, during my campaign, we were in the middle of Myth Drannor going about the regular campaign arc, where they were told that a close relative to one...
