Full disclosure: I have not fully read up on what all the various terms mean in GNS Theory, but I am doing so (and interested in doing so, starting with the thread on if 5e is gamist, to the so-called (+) thread about jargon). I have been running a 13th Age game for over a year now, and it's...

It's going to be the cornerstone of my 13th Age game; was looking to see if anyone in the community has already run it and might have some pointers to offer or just share their experiences.

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone was willing to post their examples of high level (12+) characters from PF2; or if there is a source online for such examples. I just want to triple-check that I am doing things correctly, and would like an example to compare to. Thanks in advance! Eric

Hello, Just wondering how some of you rule this: Misty Step is a bonus action to cast, so any other spell a caster casts must be a cantrip (barring Action Surge and the like). Would you allow a spellcaster to cast Misty Step and then use a Wand of Lightning Bolts, for example? Thank you, Eric

Hi all, Is the sidebar on page 27 of Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes meant to explain Rary's treachery in the history of Oerth, do you think?

Just as the title reads: What have been the experiences people have had playing in Middle-Earth using 5e rules? I have the core books, the Rhovanion Guide, the Mirkwood Campaign, and Wilderland Adventures. It all looks great, and it looks like it will address some of the desires for a (very)...

How do you all handle PCs using lances while mounted with the Extra Attack feature? If there are multiple targets, spread out, I get it. What if there's only one target? They charge up on the horse, stab the enemy 4 times from distance, then keep moving? Has anyone played with alternate...

Hello, Just wondering if Cubicle 7 put out the stats for the Nazgul in 5e, and if so where I might get them. I have the Player's Guide and Loremaster's Guide, but alas, the Nazgul were absent. Thanks!

Hi all, Just a quick question: For the paladin ability to smite, it specifies sacrificing a paladin spell slot to do the 2d8 radiant damage (+1d8 per spell slot above 1st). If I multiclass Sorcerer (Favoured Soul)...can I use those slots to smite? Thanks in advance!

Hello, How many beams do the following characters get when casting eldritch blast? Sorcerer10/Warlock1: Paladin10/warlock1: Rogue(thief)10/warlock1: I appreciate any answers. Trying to settle an issue in our group. -E

Hello, Just looking for some different perspectives on which warlock invocation to take at 7th level. So far, my warlock has Agonizing Blast, Devil's Sight, and Mask of Many Faces. I was considering Repelling Blast and Sculptor of Flesh. Which seems to have more everyday use? What do...

Just a question on how Vampires work in this edition. So, if it is reduced to 0 hp in running water or sunlight, it's destroyed. Fine. Let's say it is reduced to 0 on land at night...it goes into Misty Form. Said form is immune to all nonmagical damage except sunlight. The vampire does not...

Situation came up in our game and I was wondering how people here would interpret things. A character with a high charisma got an item that added his CHA bonus to AC when he wasn't wearing armour. He got rid of his armour but argued using a shield didn't count as "wearing armour."...

Hello, I am converting all my Al-Qadim modules into a sort of super campaign (anyone interested in the list, by all means, inquire:) ). [Note: Shoutout to Quickleaf for his great documents on 5e Zakhara] I am in the process of converting 'Dead Bearing Witness' from 'A Dozen and One...

Could a person suffering under a vampire's charm have said charm dispelled? Or that of a succubus? Trying to get a handle on what can or can't be dispelled. Thanks.

Just a question for DMs out there: Do you allow Death Knights to sacrifice spell slots to smite like the paladin class can do?

Hey, I am converting Bruce Cordell's Return to the Tomb of Horrors and some monsters need to be made (Vestige, Winter Wight, etc.) When doing so, if a monster has both 3+ resistances and 3+ immunities, do you use both multipliers on its effective hp or merely the highest one? Eric

Oddly enough, Strength Drain is missing from pp. 280-281 in the DMG for adjusting a monster's challenge rating. I was hoping to recreate swordwraiths...anyone have an idea of how Strength Drain would affect a monster's CR? How would I reverse engineer that? -E

(This isn't a complaint, at all; just an experience to share and maybe some discussion over encounter building) So we have been playing 5e since it came out, but only the low level stuff (HotDQ, where we are 3rd and MoP, also 3rd). We wanted to test out the higher level encounters. The main...

For their Book of Shadows, I should clarify. I was thinking Guidance, Message and Resistance. Any other opinions?
