    Unearthed Arcana Recent Unearthed Arcana: Would you play the new options?

    I've played partway through level 3 on the ua bm ranger now, and I'm genuinely excited for what's to come. I think they did a fantastic job. I wish Arcane Archer was viable for a little multiclass with it, but the tradeoffs just aren't worth it (at least for my ranger), especially starting...

    D&D 5E Need help with a homebrew background idea/backstory for a Firbolg Druid.

    Hmm....I suppose she might have a bit of Loial in her. I hadn't really thought about it that way!

    D&D 5E Need help with a homebrew background idea/backstory for a Firbolg Druid.

    Thanks! :D I have! I thought about it, possibly even using the Shepherd circle. I'm just not sure if I can get away with asking for a homebrew background AND a UA... :/ I do wish it started with more than 3 forms though. I understand the whole point is to go out and discover more forms...but...

    D&D 5E Need help with a homebrew background idea/backstory for a Firbolg Druid.

    Yep, that is the plan! I've already digitally created some sheets of a few critters and plants found in her home forest. As an example...

    Minis or Theatre of the Mind? (Survey)

    I'm such a visual person, minis are a must for me. I also tend to play in larger groups, so it is helpful to lay everyone out where everyone can see. My current group has 9 players (and a ranger pet) so 10 pcs plus enemies is a LOT to keep track of mentally.

    D&D 5E Need help with a homebrew background idea/backstory for a Firbolg Druid.

    So, right now...my thoughts are that the Firbolg clan becomes allies with the settlement of Elventree while my character is very young, probably due to them becoming unexpected allies during a drow invasion or some such (the enemy of my enemy and all that) and then realizing that the citizens...

    I actually have read most of them, but it's been a long long time!

    D&D 5E Need help with a homebrew background idea/backstory for a Firbolg Druid.

    Thanks - I think I am leaning towards the Elventree area so far. I definitely think her curiosity may play a part in it, but I'm not sure it's enough to get her to want to leave. I feel like she needs some sort of catalyst to push her outside her comfort zone, I just can't figure out what. I...

    D&D 5E Need help with a homebrew background idea/backstory for a Firbolg Druid.

    Thanks! I'm not sure if the warlock route fits this specific character, but a nature-y version is something I have wished for too! If you wanted to draw something up, I'd definitely be interested in seeing it and keeping it in my back pocket for my next character. :)

    D&D 5E Need help with a homebrew background idea/backstory for a Firbolg Druid.

    Thanks for the response. I considered using the Outlander background but it didn't really fit my idea for my character, hence why I am looking to create a custom one. I used a combination of Outlander, Sage, and Guild Artisan ideals/bond/etc. to create the kind of character I was going for. But...

    D&D 5E Need help with a homebrew background idea/backstory for a Firbolg Druid.

    Hey...new here, so sorry if this is in the wrong spot...didn't seem like character optimization to me. Anyways... I'm working on a new character, a Firbolg Druid. I'm a bit of a animal geek IRL, and I was inspired by my love of nature as well as the new "Fantastic Beasts" movie to create a...
