I was utterly bored by the first book. Bored enough that I actually rated it 2 stars on Goodreads (I never rate things). Bored enough that I wrote a review (I never write reviews). [Link to review - I hope that's ok? https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4941611721 ] I've seen a couple of...

5.5e, following the tradition set with the previous odd-edition revamp.

I'm looking for an urban fantasy game, and open to any system. I've played Heroes, and dabbled in Fate & CoC. Open to horror or steampunk as well, & 'nearish' future (Shadowrun looks interesting). Not really looking for a pure fantasy game currently, thanks (already in a regular 5e group). I...

With magic gone from the world, the wards that kept it closed off from the other planes have faded. Now the barriers are growing weak, and the paths have begun to open. New creatures - some wondrous, some terrible - are being seen. Perhaps the adventurers meet a mysterious figure who offers to...

A classroom at the local police academy. Our DM was on the force & at that time teaching there. He got permission for us to use the facility on the weekend when it was closed. Who needs a battle mat when you can just draw it all out on the blackboard? :) Bonus: If the zombie apocalypse hit...

Sounds like a good story (& I'm not at all biased since I'm playing much the same on my warlock, heh). Personally I'd go Sorclock over Wizlock, just for the easier CHA synergy. Also, don't underestimate the utility of Mask of Many Faces & a good Deception check when it comes to battlefield...

Wow, I've certainly reevaluated it - into this being my next character! I can BILOCATE?! And get this - even if an enemy does somehow realize the duplicate is an illusion, there is nothing in the text that says this prevents you from continuing to cast spells through it! Oh, hello Mr...

Disguise Self I think you greatly undervalue Disguise Self. Yes, it is circumstantial. However, I have saved a keep from attack by a dragon with this spell (Disguised Self as a dragon cultist, faked 'taking over' the keep & securing the 'prisoners' below - actually moving civilians to shelter...

"Once Upon a Time" seems to be going for a sort of beast master/controller interpretation of Cruella De Vil, which I find interesting. Since my AL (Adventurer's League) group is suggesting that players start new characters for the new AL season, I was looking for ways to model this in 5e. So...

Your second paragraph pretty much lays out exactly why I come to the opposite conclusion. If they wanted it all to be from one class list, they would've said 'choose any class's spell list, then pick 3 cantrips from it' IMO (or at least, they should have - much more clear). Since the wording...

This is what I did at first. Then I saw the 11th level Way of Shadow ability - which is this already. I'm now debating between some sort of custom 'use bonus action to gain advantage on next attack in dim light or darkness' (to duplicate IMO the most beneficial part of the existing power -...

I suppose I'm open to a few ideas. I had at first thought 'hmm, dash + hide', but then remembered the next ability gave invis anyway & monks already get bonus dash.

Because there is no teleportation in my homebrew world, I need a substitute ability for the Way of Shadow monk at 6th level. For Eldritch Knight's Arcane Charge (also a teleport effect) I just did a bonus 30' straight-line movement instead - but that seems pointless when monks can dash as a...

I'm working on an assassin, or possibly assassin/ninja build, & would appreciate some char op feedback: - Archery or Two Weapon Fighting build? Archery would make it easier to get the drop in a surprise round, I think (aim & shoot vs. worrying about being able to get to a foe in...

I want to know as a player. My concerns are that a) bounded accuracy at higher levels won't work out quite as 'bounded' in play as it seems on paper (use PHB starting table for wealth & have a heavy armor wearer ready to fight that creature with a +11 mentioned upthread? um... eep!), & b)...
