    D&D 5E Treantmonk's Guide to Wizards 5e

    I haven't read all the reactions and I'm not going to, so this has probably been said, but... Shocking Grasp + Find Familiar. Party rogue's gonna love ya.

    D&D 5E Vulnerability And Resistance

    That was exactly how I taught my players what magical weapons do, exept with a grick instead of wights. Even the thick flesh description.

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    Ok, I gave the matter a bit more thought, and this is my new idea: Polymorph and Natural Shapeshifting could happen, but not with the freedom they used to have. Say, a male human turns into a female human and gets pregnant. The magic that is childbirth would make that the spell would become...

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    Well, umm... Good one. I'd say they still lose that ability. It strips them of one of their biggest powers, but I guess they'd just have to plan this out. As for the herbs: Good idea. I'd like to add that they cost 25 gp per dose, and they have to be used for 5 following days to have effect...

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    Thank you for your answer. However, it wasn't much use to me. I fully blame this on myself though. You see, I had previously posted a reply on the original question by Centaur in which I said, among others, that pregnancy results into Immutable Form, as golems have. I forgot to mention this...

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    Let us leave the topic of pheromones for what they are right now and move on. There is something that has been bugging me, namely how to tackle abortion. How would you guys do it? Through a new spell, an existing spell, a potion, or a magic item? Or have I not read the BoEF well enough?

    D&D 5E Revising a few feats for balance in my home game - Thoughts?

    And my players killed a young green dragon at level 3 with a bunch of fireball scrolls. In the surprise round. But that's life, and I'm not banning fireball because of it.

    D&D 5E Revising a few feats for balance in my home game - Thoughts?

    In 5e, disadvantage and advantage cancel each other out. Even in the extreme case you mentioned.

    Because they bleep with NPC's, or possibly PC's. Not. With. Me.

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    I'm not trying to *bleep* with my players, I'm just trying to enhance the polymorphing experience. If you don't buy it, then I'm okay with that. But I think you are taking this a little too heavy. I never said that the reaction is "OMFG I WANT TO BOW CHICKA BOW WOW!!!!1!!!!11!" I said that you...

    Not that I know of, and I just looked it up.

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    You are absolutely correct when you say:"the brain is polymorphed, which includes pheromones". However, the mind isn't. Your mind remains the same. Else, you would literally have the memory of a goldfish when polymorphed into a goldfish. This needs to be clarified first. As quoted from...

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    Anyhoo, back to the subject at hand. I have seen some posts here about Polymorph adding pheromones to the 'experience'. I would rule it like this: When using Polymorph to assume a form one has never assumed before, the mind gets BOMBARDED with hormone and pheromone inputs your brain can simply...

    D&D 5E Flight ability: Does this make the Aarakocra overpowered?

    Why would said aaracokra die before the rock hit the ground? Unless the aaracokra was more than 500 feet in the air (I've done research), the rock would hit the ground in his turn. Also, not too easy to kill someone who is 500 feet in the air. Nevertheless, point made, just wanted to point that...

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    Oh yeah. Conjunction. As in teamwork. Great, now I feel dumb. *casts Dopeslap Self* Ow. Yes, that would be true, if you viey alchemy as science, which is up to the individual. I'm not really sure it is science.

    Would the spell "Alter Self" give those using it the ability to reproduce as what they've changed into?

    I agree with your short answer, but not entirely with the long one. The rule says:"any part of the polymorphed creature that gets separated returns to normal". This means that, if you polymorph into a dire wolf, and your leg gets cut of, it'll turn back into a human arm/leg. The 'deposit' of a...

    What do you mean by that?

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    That is entirely correct. However, what makes you say that a man polymorphed into a woman would not have eggs? Every human is born with their full complement of legs too, but polymorph can easily solve that. I recommend not using real-world science here anyway, as science and magic don't do...

    Polymorph & Pregnancy

    Ahem: First, second and fourth: Yes. Polymorph other would give the target the internal reproductive organs needed for reproduction, or succesfully alter existing ones. As for question #4, the offspring would be whatever creature the mother was at childbirth. Polymorphing a female human into a...

    Would the spell "Alter Self" give those using it the ability to reproduce as what they've changed into?

    This is my opinion: No. Alter Self only changes appearance. An example could be a clay figure. The outer layer (skin and, to some extent, muscle) is red, and the inner layer is green. Disguise Self would add another layer, a blue layer, which can look however you want, but is very fake. Alter...
