The usual DM of my regular group has finally decided he has had enough break time from the player's side of the screen, and real life commitments have eased up enough for him to again run a game, and it will be 5e. He is saying that since we are all veterans, if we want to play something...

I would not allow doubling back, or multiclass with yourself again. I might, with experienced players, allow access to all the 3rd level paths/specialzations within the class, but you still don't get everything. You get a feature at the appproriate levels and can pick from any/all the paths...

Off topic sorta but -- a) That's actually the illustration for all three alignments. The Chaotic character is going to stab the helpless kobold. The Lawful character is holding the Chaotic character's arm. The Neutral character is the one folding his arms refusing to influence the outcome...

The way lore names are casually thrown around in these posts is very compelling . Is this Delve campaign based on published references I am not catching? "before the dungeon disappears back into the Shade" certainly is a good reason to get in and get out! "Holy Brigadoon , Batman! We can't...

That lyrical guy (I see what you did there) is going to have to change his name to Lou Garou.

I dunno if you'd call this 'altered', but I have found in practice it isn't really natural at my table to say "a Wisdom (Pereception) check", as the PHB discusses. The concept of skills as subsets of ability checks hasn't been as formal as it was lauded during the playtest and early podcasts. I...

I should have clicked on Block, I would have never clicked XP If I'd have known that you'd have Quoted Just to argue rules with me!

It counts in my book. Ages ago, I was running a game and the bard player decided tabletop RPGs weren't for him (which was too bad because he was theater/literature/music major and man did he _role-play_!) I asked him if I could kill him - dramatically of course - and he agreed. The engineered...

No deaths in the current campaign (Lost Mine of Phandelver), although they came close. In a wilderness random-ish encounter with a wolf pack , the ranger's choice of words an actions combined with a flubbed Animal Handling roll led to combat that should have easily been avoided. Cold dice lead...

Oh, the agony, I had painstakingly worked my way up to level 3 and felt I was actually becoming known to people as reasonably sane poster. (Yes, I know, I have now opened myself to all manner of insult ;) )
