D&D 5E Why Good PLayers Do Not Homebrew

[Igwilly]

Well, I'll have to disagree with you [MENTION=6716779]Zardnaar[/MENTION]. In theory, there's no difference between "official" rules and "unofficial" ones. At practice, however, things are very different. Not all gaming communities are that open. I'll write about this soon enough. [emoji55]

Well, since you posted this, apparently I am in good company.



Assuming the damage dice are correct, the average damage numbers should be changed as noted.

About the CR: Offensive CR looks 4 or 4.5 -ish, so that's ok. Defensive CR looks like you might have failed to account for resistance to nonmagical B/P/S. That (if you believe the DMG) should double effective HP to 224. With AC17, that is CR 11-ish. (7d8+21) gives 52, doubled is 104. With AC 17, that is CR 5-ish. (Assuming CR 5 was what you wanted.)

I reskinned a CR 5 encounter. Less damage more resitances to various damages.

Well used 6 battle wights on a 9th level party. They lasted 2 maybe 3 rounds.

Energy drain gets annoying as it turns out.

Well, considering he was just banned from posting on another site, I suspect we'll be seeing more of them here.

Threads like this are the reason why the NPC jester in game is named Zardnaar.

Not much if a sense of humor. Some people must be good players.

So far I've been enjoying them!

You're quite right: good players do not homebrew.

They buy their beer from the beer store just like everyone else.

I think I missed something.
