    Gaming and IT

    Are laptops becoming ubiquitous enough that gaming companies can start relying on them being available during a game? For example, it might be feasible to segregate the gaming mechanics in the laptops so that players can focus on a more immersive experience.

    D&D 5E Becoming a Polyglot

    Is there any other way for a Bard of Lore to learn new languages other than to take the Linguist feat? That's an awfully high cost. If you take the feat a second time, then the only benefit it gives you is to learn languages 4, 5, and 6 and a +1 to Int.

    Binding and Ally as rituals?

    Should Planar Binding and Planar Ally be ritual spells? They seem strongly in the flavor of the Warlock.

    Sell me on the Warlock

    Sticking with rules as intended, I'd like to see your awesomeness. Create the best 9th Warlock you can with the one exception being that he does NOT have Eldritch Blast. By "best," you'll have to balance offense, defense, and out of combat effectiveness.I suspect that this will demand a high...

    D&D 5E Income

    Other than being a thug with good publicists (i.e. killing things and taking their stuff) which is rather gauche, how can PCs make a living as adventurers? Gaining a patron comes to mind and building a community (if they can get enough gold to build it in the first place) come to mind, but how...

    D&D 5E Mystic Step as a Magical Secret

    I'm playing a Bard of Lore and I've read every Bard guide I could find on the Internet. I chose as one of my Magical Secrets Mystic Step. However, none of the guides I've read recommend it as a Magical Secret. This makes me wonder if there's something I missed when calculating it's utility...

    D&D 5E What are your favorite combos?

    Class guides seem to miss what I consider to be the most important part of class building, how class abilities/skills/spells/etc. work together in or out of combat. Further, different classes can pull off team combos which can also have powerful synergy. What are your favorite combos? Some of...

    D&D 5E PEACH 8th lvl Bard of Lore

    My GM runs a militaristic campaign with a party consisting of soldiers, nobles, and a few other archetypes. My Bard is intended to be an Intelligence officer. He is a "leader" in the 4e nomenclature. The campaign tends to lean slightly in favor of non-combat activities. I'd appreciate any...

    D&D 5E Vicious Mockery utility

    I've seen several posts praising this spell, but I'm having trouble seeing its usefulness. The damage isn't all that great. It takes an action to cast, then and only then the victim gets a save and then and only then the victim gets a disadvantage on attack rolls. The roleplaying favor is...
