I did not see how often the lightning strikes except in the last part. I did see the part about two Hiroshima bombs and power the USA for 5 minutes if it could be captured and stored. I was wondering how often the sun would 'charge' the Earth to release a lightning blast of this size.

You could look to other weapons that do not get love if this is one of the goals. Crossbows- making them composite would be just the same as making normal bows composite and a bit meh. Darts- maybe a bit less damage than you want and tends to steal from the 1e/2e wizard in terms of flavor...

I looked at the mini to see what his face looked like and never thought he was a she. I had to go back and look again after reading the first few comments.

Composite bows allowed you to add your STR modifier to damage when shooting. They had a chart for buying a +1 to +5 for 100gp per plus. I do not think it is needed in 5e, but can be added and not do much harm to things. I'm wondering what classes or combos would benefit the most.

I see the game part as all the rules that go into making the game run. Each person playing might have a mind idea of "I'll hit him with my sword", but the game rules tell him that he needs to roll a d20 and add his bonuses to see if he gets past the bad guy defense. I would say that it is like...

Boots remind me that he is getting ready to go muck some stalls.

Did the new Dragonlance (DL) book have 1st level feats that gateway into the sub-class? I seem to recall that PCs will be starting with a feat now since DL came out with it in order to play something like Knight of Solamnia or tested wizard or whatever. Some might have been in with background...

I do not have a problem waiting until 3rd level to get a sub-class. You do get cool powers at 1st and 2nd level, just in your class. I would wrap multiclassing in with the sub-class system, so that you could take the same class as your sub-class and just be a better fighter or whatever, or...

The classic one-upper is always a good NPC to keep showing up around the PCs.

In case you miss Jar Jar for some reason.

I do not have problems with spells kept from players. They are something that the PC would not know. I like to have spells that only certain organizations or churches have that others cannot learn, or may be hunted down to keep the secret if they do learn it. They are a plot device as well as...

I have no problem with skimping on things in a 1-shot. I have made games where the PCs had extra uses of abilities or even gave 4e powers that let a PC attack everyone in 5ft. instead of something else. The point of a 1-shot is to have fun and boldly go, over develop a long-term PC that had...

I only bought the random convention mini lately, but my brother backed a few things during the lockdowns and seems to have plenty to paint still. Not sure if others had more free cash then and are saving now with costs rising and inflation still being high. I might be in for a pre-painted...

It is just more up front work for the DM. If the players know of 5 locations to go to, you need to prep 5 places, or at least have something to delay the group until next week where you have finished the dungeon they all decided to go to. Matt Colville has a old video about sandbox play...

I found being the DM for heist or similar needs more fail-forward or free re-rolls to make it work better. you make each PC roll 10 times to stealth, then eventually they all fail. I ran one where I gave a free re-roll token each part of pre-planning the players did. Someone went to the...

I would be a terrible influencer, since all I play is D&D, and 5e to boot. Or maybe people would come to my channel because all I talk about would be 5e and people that came to my channel thought that made me more knowledgeable about 5e. Or maybe, it is just the way people present the videos...
