Yes, no penalties for short rests. (outside of the whole getting exhausted if we don't take a long rest for an extended period of time)

So, I'm in a campaign that frequently runs very high challenge rating combat situations multiple times between long rests, and has a home-brew mechanic that kind of discourages long rests in general (cursed artifacts and such interfering with rest and such.) Our healers are leaving the...

I'd say that the somatic component of bard magic could be explained as the performance of their instrument (or maybe a dance), just as the vocal/verbal component could be said to be some kind of song. I do think that all casters need either a focus or material component for the spells that call...

My gunslinger is about to hit level 7 and I've been greenlit to take the Leadership feat and get a Gun Squire cohort. The idea is to utilize the squire as a means to reload weapons and pass them to my character in combat, and otherwise be a nuisance to my opponents. I've settled on a sneaky...

I'm thinking the muscles should be wood because I'm trying to follow the current basis of Warforged. Also, I want to keep the idea of mixing metal and nature that the Warforged is currently known for.

So, what I've got so far is two separate quests to get materials for the body: a crystal of pure mithral, which can only be found in the deep dark, next to an exceptionally potent Earth Node, and a deposit of adamant, which can only be found in the heart of a dormant volcano. I would appreciate...

So I'm playing in a small group to pass the time, and some random shenanigans just happened that have created a completely unexpected campaign hook that has my DM senses tingling, and the rest of the party is cool with me taking the reins for it. Randomness: we fought a couple gargoyles, and...

So, I know a lot of these responses are about encounters and plot hooks for a Temporal Plane, but I have an idea for planar hazards. Just like the other planes of existence are made of varying and shifting pieces of their expressed matter/energy, I think a 'Plane of Time' should have areas of...

He's undead. Hold person is no longer an option. Also, coup de grace is not an option due to immunity to critical hits. Sent from my 404SC using EN World mobile app

Yeah, but the lesser globe of invulnerability is kinda moot, as he isn't a spell caster. Much more interested in the +4 AC boost that the aura gives. As far as I'm aware, it's the standard template. Sent from my 404SC using EN World mobile app

My thoughts on him beating me to death with a pencil stub is that I've got DR 5 overcome by magic and evil, but whichever is better. Since his natural weapons are neither magic nor evil- let alone both, I'll be ignoring the first 5 points of damage. Add to that my fast healing 4(half of my 8...

The first thing I tried to do was talk him down. Ended up getting a 29 on my diplomacy vs a 29 on his intimidate to counter. We are quite literally equals on that floor, and after watching him willingly slide into the corruption, there isn't a lot of incentive to try and bring him back (if...

Let me clarify- the ledge is only about 10 ft tall. He's on the top of it, I'm below it and to the side. Not enough to damage/put away the death knight, but enough to prevent a charge. I am aware of the time limit on dispel, but Shatter is instantaneous, so I have time. I have a 'fate token'...

Update to the situation. The fighter has willingly accepted a ritual that completely corrupted him and turned him into a death knight. The level 8 cleric has been risen to Saint status (from the Book of Exalted Cheese.) I have almost all my spells left, 4 turn undead attempts (that he's...

I see the bard as something like Thom Merrilin from the Wheel of Time series, honestly. And since this is a fantasy setting where in game effects can be explained however you want, it doesn't specifically need for you to 'cast a spell' so much as 'hey, I learned this trick while traveling with...

Yes, this.

Yes, if I can get one or two of my team members to side with the cleric, then the fight tips in my favor. Unfortunately, I suspect the clash will end up being 1 on 1. As for my feelings about it- I don't like PvP in most rpgs, let alone D&D, but I can see how it would make a good villain story...

If the dieties care more about the sacrifices and rituals than followers, then I'd say as long as the cleric is taking the time to do their devotions, there shouldn't be a problem story wise. Maybe adding more time to their daily devotion time as a requirement to access the Beetle's...

With this group, the fighter would probably have to kill the rogue after the fact, and if he could talk enough game, the bandit would wait the fight out, and the ranger would be upset and leave the party. (Rogue has strong ties to the cleric, the bandit is what I like to call Selfish Neutral...

Koloth The party hasn't been together since level one, and the cleric is the only expressly good aligned character in the party (the rest are varying degrees of neutral.) We're a group of active duty military players, and our schedules make it so that we can't always game together. The...
