Wow! Thanks for your remarks, people! Thanks for your input. For the first time I used pre-generated characters, and let them change a few things. The problem was that the pre-generated backgrounds for LMoP are not connected to each other, and this may have created the problem. The player in...

I have DMed for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have an evil character on the players' group (running lost mine of Phandelver - 5E). The player is experienced, and his character is a female rogue. He often tries to take treasures they find for himself, has been asking how much...

In my mind, I read that sentence this way: "depends on the attitude of the person with respect to the Dungeon Master". :)

Unfortunately, the international shipping cost is prohibitive. But I will look into alternatives. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks! This should be fine.

Anyone can help? What do you use?

Since they are new to the game, and will play Lost Mine of Phandelver, try to dial down the first encounters because they can be deadly to a LVL1 party. Reduce the goblins damage for example, so they can learn how to play without early character deaths. Also, I suggest you use initiative...

You will not be able to run one part per session, unless your sessions are more than 8 hours long. Some parts take a while to develop. I did not allow them to go up there. They climbed and realized that there was a flat and heavy stone blocking the passage. My reasoning was that the boss...

So guys I saw this product: Battle Graph Dry Erase Boards http://www.gnomestew.com/reviews/battle-boards-assemble-a-review-of-battlegraph-dry-erase-tiles/ It is a board for RPG games made of some hard material (acrylic?) that looks very interesting, because it is modular and...

Once they found out that the kid was missing, they went straight to the the manor. It is a five PCs group. When they found the cells, the prisoners said that the boy was there for a while, but was taken away by bugbears. Glasstaff says that he sent the boy somewhere and if he is killed they...

I should have explained it better. When the rogue arrives, the boy has disappeared for a month. The Manor was under repairs when the rogue was a Redbrand member, so he knows little about it. But yes, second day in town, the rogue will be news to the Redbrands and something should happen. By...

Exactly my problem. Someone suggested to turn the duration to concentration 1 minute, but this would turn this cantrip into obligatory buff for every mage. I am thinking about turning it to concentration, but you lose the spell as soon as you take any weapon damage (no CON check).

As far as I know, you lose invisibility by casting any spell, not only attack spells.

His nephew has an interesting dragon-shaped mark on his shoulder. Glasstaff wants to give him to the dragon as a gift. He knows that the rogue would never allow that, so boom: kill the rogue. That was the idea for my group, and a good tie-in with the thundertree part of the adventure.

Good: Sleep? 1st-level Wizard can drop a 4th-level Wizard on the first round. No save. Just need to get the current hp of the opponent on the 5d8 check. Or maybe finish a dragon that has 20hp left? Bad: Blade Ward - as discussed in another thread: lose an action to have resistance to...

Wouldn't it be better to dash then? Better to have 30 feet more between you and them?

Nice idea. I mean, if the wizard gets hit he will have to make a save to keep concentrating, so it seems fair.

With my houserule, it becomes a weak buff to use at the beginning of the combat, but still weak, I agree. The situation you describe is unlikely to happen and the wizard would not know in advance that he would be attacked by all opponents. If you are attacked this way and you are low level, you...

And remember - it must be from a weapon. ;)

I agree with the OP. Humans look underpowered in this edition when compared to subraces. I gave my player the usual 6 ability boosts plus the extra feat and he is still below the dwarfs and elves of the group. Darkvision, by itself, could be comparable to the extra feat. The immunities of...
