    D&D 5E Balance in Races

    I wonder what was the thought process behind giving dragon born fewer perks. They are not the norm in my game. They are rarely seen, as are Half-orcs, tieflings and Half-elves. All dragon born, tieflings and half-orcs are treated with various forms of fear and fascination. Some are drawn to...

    D&D 5E Balance in Races

    A conversation recently came up at my table about the imbalance in the races in 5e. My immediate response was, "there has always been imbalance in characters in D&D. Elves are the golden child of the system." They spoke about the imbalance amongst all the races. Why do half-orcs get so many...

    D&D 5E I Need Help Finding my EVIL

    Okay, so I play with a bunch of folks that are fun to hang around, and we always have a good time, but we don't really know each other super well. As DM, I understand that I need to wear multiple hats simultaneously - referee, benevolent NPC, Villainous NPC, drunk on the corner... Most of these...

    D&D 5E Opinions on The Rise of Tiamat?

    We are in the middle of HotDQ right now. It's full of ups and downs, and various imbalances. I highly recommend you read through the whole adventure first, just to give yourself an idea of what's to come, and setting yourself and your players up for the various successes and failures that will...

    D&D 5E 8 hour Long Rest and total Healing up; change it to Roll All "Hit Dice" and add that to Hit Points

    I love this idea! I am going to have to run it past my players. The extra piece about the gelatinous cube is especially delicious.

    D&D 5E 8 hour Long Rest and total Healing up; change it to Roll All "Hit Dice" and add that to Hit Points

    5e healing seems too fast to me. I have great memories of walking around dungeons at 10% health because you only healed 1hp per level +con. Very gritty. It seems a little crazy to be able to go from 0 to 80hp in an 8hour period without magic. That being said, a way to get that feeling back is...

    D&D 5E New DM let Player Die, now what?

    Thanks everyone for so much feedback. Some details: The group was resting at camp during late morning and had left their horses grazing near some trees and they knew there was forest very near by. They noticed three humanoids accompanied by four spiders taking their horses away. When the PCs...

    D&D 5E New DM let Player Die, now what?

    I am a new DM, but have played for many years 2e, and recently Pathfinder. So, being new, I sometimes don't give enough detail to my players about the goings on (something I am trying to get better at, I know its a flaw). I am playing with a group that, for the most part, have been playing...
