Interesting, thanks for the ideas! Was wondering if there was a standard, but doesn't look like it. I'm o.k. with that, I like going with the flow or finding logical ways to do things rather than a clear cut rule. Why we really enjoy 5th edition. It's funny in the Rise of Tiamat we did last...

The spell components in 5e is chalk and a year of casting to create a permanent teleportation circle. The players came across a teleportation circle that belongs to an enemy wizard. They have no wizards in the party and decided to shoot the sigils in the middle of battle with a shot gun like...

Hello, I'm DMing a fairly open world 5th edition campaign. One of the side quests was for a warlock in the party that decided to jump through a portal that was a skin blanket from undead that was engraved with runes. By speaking a command word, the blanket formed a portal the ancient sword...

I see what you're saying, more like a sizable attack on the Mind Flayer city. May be the reason for the urgency of the Brain for finding a new location to reside, it realizes it's place of peacefulness and harmony is in jeopardy and it saw an opportunity of the characters being able to sneak it...

For the most part everyone has been in sync up to this point. A couple characters had a couple things hidden in their past. When the Warlock first started out, he didn't have a patron. He chose to seek revenge but hadn't let it consume him By third level he was confront by a sketchy...

Very true, except, The elder Brain can cast Wall of force innately. There's one exit. It would be walled off before the PCs could turn around.... Which makes them fillet mignon... :) But, yes, I completely agree, if they had a need to keep them alive for some reason. They could easily be...

So, I'm the D&D of a Forgotten Realms Campaing of my own brew. My group of 5 players and me went through all of Rise of Tiamat. And are now playing 500 years after the failed rise of Tiamat that gave Thay the opportunity to rise in economic power over many lands. Part of it was creating...

Thanks Yaarel! That's a good point too. This is the ability he used. It was against 3 swarms of pirana like fish: Didn't increase his AC but imposed disadvantage, which was probably better than increasing his own AC. Cloak of Air (3 psi; conc., 10 min.). As a bonus action, you seize control...

I have a cardmaster in the party, a automoton paladin, a bard, and I believe a Warlock. At level 3 the mystic was able to bring his AC to 20 and with some type of wind blast, all attacks that miss the mystic are reflected back onto the creature. With an AC of 20 most CR 4 or less creatures are...

So, I'm allowing a player in my campaign to play a Mystic, we're doing a steampunk campaign that includes some ancient firearms and some artificing etc... My question is on the Mystic and how it's rules play into the monster manual. Since the Mystic is not official and was created after the...

what I love about D&D is the creativity of the people involved. :)

I like that a lot. :) The gears and moving parts could be clockwork creatures all working together to make the big machine work. (Think transformers merging to form a larger transformer). Heh. That could be entertaining! I use 3 printed terrain, I could use dungeon rooms as the legs and...

I'm the DM for a new Steam Punk Campaign we'll be starting in a few weeks, where Thay has established itself as an economic power by discovering that the undead are a fuel source. Necrotic factories have formed to process zombies and other undead beings into a powder that's highly combustible...

Agreed... I wrote novel. Unpublished so far, but looking at self publishing in the next couple years of a dystopian zombie ridden apocalypse.... with a mix of tech and fantastical but overall dismal world, I'm a little self biased, but, if WoTC is looking for any writers I'd love to expand on...

I'm a DM and my group is nearing the end of Rise of Tiamat. Which, I suspect they'll quite easily defeat Tiamat, I do have plans for them to explore some high level content - The Thayan Doom Vaults. That leads to the kingpin or orchestrator of Tiamat's return. Rath Modar.... Who's actually...

I agree.. THe issues I have are: 1. ) No save and no to "hit" So, no chance of failure at all.. 2.) Any type of magical means of escape - Teleport planar travel, gate, etc, requires a save. The wizard in the group right now has a save DC of 18. Many creatures have +4 - +5 at most at this...

Exactly, that was one of the major changes with 5th edition. Spell components were no longer consumed, unless the spell specifically states the spell component is consumed.... No longer are the days that Identify costs a 100Gp pearl to identify stuff... One pearl and the same pearl can be used...

I completely agree Phazonfish. Not to mention they would just find other spells that would be as powerful. So, no point in trying to fight it. :) Forces me to simply allow an encounter to be defeated in this way. The whole point is to beat encounters, this is just another tool to beat...

That part's open to interpretation. Can a huge creature fit.... Yes... Does that mean it would fit if it's wint's are oustreteched and it's flying... NO. But, it could fit, if the wings were tucked in... So, the question becomes from a game play stand point.... Would the creature be forced to...

Initially I thought it was over powered. However, I looked at some content on Dungeonworld briefly and one thing echoed to me. If something made the big bad boss fight at the end too easy to overcome, this is poor work on the DM part not on the players and players shouldn't be punished for...
