    D&D 5E Your Favorite 5e Houserule

    We have stopped using inspiration as I, the DM, kept forgetting about it. However I might steal the idea of the players giving inspiration instead.

    D&D 5E What would be some good guards/ minions for a dragon's lair?

    I would try to match creatures to the dragon that are immune to it's type of breathe weapon. Then the Dragon is free to use that regardless of where it's minions are. Not that the Dragons care about the minions as much as it's tiresome overseeing the training of new guards.

    Igniting an object

    I have two criteria, will it be fun, will it add to much for me to do as DM?

    The D&D Multiverse needs a "Crisis on Infinite Oerths"

    The way I see it is to have the characters plane-hopping, and interacting with the "icons", but on a quest that is vitally important, but doesn't lead to the destruction of the different settings. It may be that something unique is needed from each official setting to destroy an evil artefact...

    Command: Flee

    If your movement is forced I believe that does not provoke AO's, and is not fleeing from a failed save forced movement?

    D&D 5E Hosting a Fight Night for my Adventurers?

    In our group I run a annual "Christmas Bash". Every year is a different theme. It is generally a last creature standing. Sometimes I pregenerate characters for them, sometimes each player gets a monster to play, usually they have to create a one off character within strict boundary's. It...

    D&D 5E DM Help! My rogue always spams Hide as a bonus action, and i cant target him!

    Figure out where the rogue is likely to hide and have a hostile creature or two already hiding there. Or have that area trapped somehow. Even if the rogue spots the trap dealing with it is likely to attract attention.

    Unearthed Arcana One Year of Unearthed Arcana

    I like that the designers are getting the views of the players through the UA articles. Some things will make it into releases like SCAG. Other ideas will be dropped. I doubt any idea will have universal acclaim.

    D&D 5E Effects of Aging

    Strangely enough one of my players, also running a bard, was aged by a ghost. Further into the dungeon they encountered bearded devils. The player bartered his characters soul for returning the characters normal age.

    D&D 5E Ruminations on Overpowered Feats and Crafting New Feats

    I allow any feat from the PHB. I do not have time to create new feats. However, if a player proposed a feat then I would scrutinise it, maybe suggest modifications, then if I was happy with it would allow it to be play tested. As DM I would reserve the right too stop the use of the feat, or...

    D&D 5E Move and Attack question

    I would rule that if the move/attack/move was continuous then no problem.

    D&D 5E Best DUNGEON modules, any edition, to convert to 5th?

    I have just finished running my group through "Tears for Twilight Hollow" from Dungeon 90. It's co-written by Angel Leigh McCoy & Christopher Perkins. Very good scenario for four by 7th but easily adaptable

    D&D 5E Why do wizards STILL have to use daggers, etc.?

    The only the reason I can think of for a wizard to use weapons is in a "magic suppression zone" . Or using the dagger to carve of a slice of meat at the dinner table.

    D&D 5E Of Beads of Force and Wraiths

    That is the ruling I would have made also.

    D&D 5E Crystal Ball: A year in, how do you think 5E will unfold going forward?

    Whatever WOTC does is going to displease some people. There is either too much published or not enough. The adventures are rubbish, or they are enjoyable. I suspect that WOTC are walking a fine line between keeping us, the customers happy, and the bosses, Hasbro happy. Indeed, some of the...

    D&D 5E Feats: Do you use them? Are they necessary?

    I do not believe feats are necessary. If they were not in the PHB the game is still very playable. However, the players and I discussed this before starting the 5E campaign. Some were for using feats, others were indifferent. The weight of opinion for feats meant that they could be...

    D&D 5E How often do you fake it as a DM?

    I have sometimes faked it, or as I prefer to say winged it. This is usually because the group took a different course to that expected. Sometimes it is due to pressure on time denying time to prep. Luckily my group enjoy combat therefore that has been a useful get-out. Certainly prep helps a...
