I've removed Hexblade from the list of possible Warlock patrons at my table. I've enhanced Pact of the Blade as follows: At 3rd level, when you choose Pact of the Blade, you gain proficiency in medium armor, shields, and all weapons. At 6th level, you gain the Extra Attack feature. I feel...

For those of you that have run PotA as a DM or player: What parts of the adventure do you think you could have done without or would help make it a more focused adventure? While it is often labeled a sand-box and most DMs (including me when I ran it) want to leave it as such, after playing...

I was thinking about the Sorcerer spell list and something struck me. They are supposed to be innate casters who produce magical effects from their will. Why are they constrained to a spell list? I'm considering doing away with their spell list and letting them choose from any spell list...

GWF - reroll 1s and 2s for damage (why so fiddly?) Dueling - flat + 2 damage (why a flat bonus when GWF gets less?) Archery - flat + 2 to hit (why a flat bonus instead of ignoring 1/2 cover?) Two Weapon Fighting Style - seems reasonable Protection - rarely seems to be used Defense - seems...

I'm currently playing in a game with a level cap of 8th in which I'm currently a level 2 Fighter. i think it's going to be an interesting experiment in restriction and wanted to know if anyone else had tried it this edition? I know in 3.X/Pathfinder there was the idea of E6, games capped at...

I'm considering implementing the following at my table, I'd like your feedback before I do: General Shortbows and Longbows To hit is DEX, damage is DEX or STR Drawing and stowing Anyone can draw or stow two weapons with the Light property as part of their movement. Heavy Armor DR Splint...

I am having a hard time deciding between the Battlemaster and Eldritch Knight for a game that caps max level at 8th. The Battlemaster will have 5 dice per short rest and 5 maneuvers. The EK will have 4 1st and 2 2nd level spell slots as well as War Magic. Both get 3 ASIs in that range and I...

I am considering the following changes to Fighters and would like to get some feedback: Hit Die: D12 Extra Attack: 4th, 9th, 15th Indomitable: Goes from a re-roll to an auto-success. Champions: 5th level: Free Savage Attacker feat. Champions: Remarkable Athelete: Add your entire proficiency to...

At our table (where I DM) we do the following:Long Rest = One Hit Die + CON Mod of healing (so a Fighter with 14 CON would get 12 HP back), Hit Die Recovery as Normal.Being reduced to 0 HP = One level of Exhaustion and an Injury. The Injury you take reflects the amount of damage on the hit that...

Changes to the feat in red Option 1 : Dual Wielder You master fighting with two weapons, gaining the following benefits:. + 0 AC. You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one handed melee weapons you are wielding aren’t light...

I've DMed for 30+ and played with another 20+ different people over the past year and no one even considers rolling up a Goliath. Before I inject my own preconceptions/prejudices, I'd like to hear why others think they are so rarely played.

Now that I've played a Battlemaster Fighter to 9th level I'd like to offer up an alternative that I'd like your collective opinion on. What if the Battlemaster Fighter, his maneuvers, and dice operated more like a divine caster in terms of preparing moves and regaining a larger pool of dice...

First, let me say that I am using http://my-realms.blogspot.com/2014/12/starter-set-sandbox-15-leilon-and-night.html by Scrivener of Doom (how do you @ a user anyway?) as 95% of the inspiration for this campaign I am going to run. His blog is awesome, you should read it if you are running...

I don't think I've seen the text of the Indomitable class feature and apparently one other that allowed a Fighter to shrug off mind affecting spells?
