    D&D 5E (2024) Using Action Surge to cast spells in 2024

    I am absolutely glad your group is having fun, and I mean no disrespect when I say this: I find that sort of stuff makes my eyes roll. It doesn't make me think, "how clever", it makes me think, "bite me" (or actually much ruder sayings that aren't safe for Eric's Granny.) But by all means...

    Sure thing. Remind me in a week or two!

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    I finally have been able to pick up my copies. Which is good, because I need to be able to sell them tomorrow. It feels like everyone here has had them for a week or two.

    D&D General Job board in the Essentials Kit

    The board starts with three quests. When you complete two of them, three more are added, and so on, to a total of nine, I believe.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Yes it does. It's not so much that you could see the Lizardfolk, as you could see their eyes pick up the light of the sword and reflect it back. There's more of them slightly "off the map" plus more cavern.

    Terrin found that the black, porous rock had many handholds and though the cliff was steep, it sloped gradually inward. All of this would have made for any easy climb, if it were not for that his gear was heavy with water, he could barely see in the light of the Drow's magic, which caused...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    @Snarf Zagyg & @Kobold Stew both of you appear to be targeting the Houndsman with Shut-Down spells. 1) Do one of you want to edit your target or 2) Do you want to both go for it, both because "accidents happen" AND because you'll have twice the likelihood of success? Edit: While I'm at it, I'll...

    D&D General Why do good monsters exist, from a game design standpoint?

    To Answer the Thread Title: 1) Because Good PCs need someone to fight alongside. 2) Because Evil PCs need someone to fight against. Aside from all the other monsters. 3) Mistakes happen. (I mean when choosing who to fight, not from a design standpoint, though that happens too, but this isn't...

    It's movement, but seeing as everything (swimming in the water, climbing the cliffs) costs 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot you move, you'll probably have to dash if you want to get anywhere (it's 20 feet up the cliff). I think that might put you at the top if you dash and make both checks.

    D&D 5E (2024) Teos talks about using the hero’s of the Borderlands Starter Box to run games.

    You guys just got me to sign up for a whole lotta patreons (at the free tier, mind, but only because I want to see how much I actually read them before I spend money).

    @Hriston - it occurs to me that if you can make it 'Swimming' to S32, you can have Advantage on 'Climbing the Cliff' with Copper holding the rope for you.

    Behind the Screen - So, my wife has been rolling (and sometimes making decisions) for much of the Bad Guys. This allows me to "get away" with posting turns on occasions when I am otherwise spending time with her! (After 23 years of marriage, she's only gotten into playing D&D in the past year...

    @Hriston have a look at 'Hazards' in the Map notes on the "Round Roller". If you have any questions, let me know.
