So the Dungrin Dides when they rate a feature use 4 criteria. Impact Basically how powerful it is. Frequency How often it fires/triggers or can be used Value Things like opportunity cost. Comparing to different subclasses for some class. Synergy Self explanatory. Somewhat subject as...

Thinking of a post apocalyptic setting. Hers a few things I've used recently. Idea is to make things tough while using less encounters. 1. Shadow Storms. Current campaign. Basically weather that makes everything dim light and wild or desd magic areas. At level t PCs haven't encountered a dead...

So elsewhere we were talking about things that are actually overpowered. CME still took the number 1 slot but not many if any had actually seen it used. So I'm wondering if its mostly a theorycrafting thing. Generally you need scorching ray and Spellfire Spark is still fairly new. Its a...

Apart from rebuilding a city of Shade? Ive had the two surviving royals tane charge snd using the mythallar from Anauroch Empire of Shadows book to create shadow magen. Theyre short of personal. Should of Thirst is a act 2 BG3 inspired place. Dead magic zone shadow weave works fine though...

That comment was made in yesterday's session. Combat before this. That circle is a spirit guardians. The orc minis are orc bezerkers and gonlins are goblins. Low encounter. One player was colluding with another to maximize Hew and Cleave attacks. The Kobold mini is a berserker mini...

So at lvl 4 the PCs foiled the plans of a Shade. They watched her via a communication device dispatch an assassin and dark justicier to deal with them. Level 5 and a tenday later they were traveling with Cornyr fairly safe right? Near Arabel tge assassin struck. +10 on initiative, nightfall...

So most online artificer guides aren't so great. They focus on the level 11 spell item and often miss some of the better items at lvl 2 eg glamour full or half plate. At level 10 all artificers can pick uncommon items. +1 shield or weapon, few other bits and pieces. Elemental gems are an...

So I didnt think much of the Netheril DLC they released recently. Karsus subplot was in BG3 however. My current campaign will feature the remnants of the Shades snd various Netherese survivors (mostly late 3.5 plot hooks). So I'm thinking time travel. Rather than returning to Netheril i...

So the GWM feat adds tour proficiency bonus to damage if the attack is part of an attack action. Cleave attack doesn't specify but it can be triggered by sn attack action. Does the extra damage apply to the cleave attack? I recommended the barbarian player record his attacks like this. 18...

So 4th level cartographer looking to MC at 4th or 5th (3/1or 4/1). Abilities can be required 13 to MC. 5.0 archetypes are available layered on 3024 base classes unless its updated. Cartographer/Scribe wizard was considered but its a long way to level 13 or 14. Leaning heavily towards...

So I have a 5 Person Party. Heres some numbers Xp Per CR Monsters CR1/8 25 xp CR¼ 50xp CR½ 100 CR1 200 xp CR2 450 CR3 700 CR4 1100 CR5 1800 CR6 2300 Xp Buckets Encounter Design Low, Medium High (LMH) Lvl3 150, 275, 400 Per PC Lvl4 CR 250/375/500 per PC My players are currently...

As the title says. Im thinking of locating it in the Southetn Desertmouth Mountains but switching the locations around a bit. Tower of the Heavans becomes Ramanath Tower ( pg 53 and 64 Heroes of Faerun). Throw in a Selune reference and tie it to my backstory. Change some names up buff some...

So I generally have a low opinion of the 5E APs. Theres two very ood ones imho and a few good ones. One year+ on though no AP yet. Obviously it means D&D is doomed and WotC kicked my cat (not my avatar picture thats my nephew cat). Generally I think theres been a massive uptick in...

So got bored a while ago abd started looking through my 5E books. I dont have all of them only 40 odd iirc. Sone of the older ones haven't aged as well as I remembered and a new one in particular stood out. This is not a best alt art cover or best/favorite product. As always art is...

So I have beenrunning an artificer and picked the weakest onee. The cartographer seems to have a bad reputation. Isuspect this is because of the lvl 11 ability. Generally I like artificers mechanically. Level 11 is a long way away however. Going in there was no real way I gould figure out how...

So DMG recommends 1 rare item can be handed out. Im thinking thongs through. Safe But Boring. +2 shield +1 armor +2 weapon Ring of Fire Resistance Considered Mythallar Cloak (fly 1 minute,+1d4 radiant 1/round, bonus action) Veto Vicious weapon. Party Star Druid Knowledge Cleric...

Ok needs. I'm adapting Katkolohk as a Goblin fort in the Stonelands. 5 PCs. Xp Budgets Low 1000xp Medium 1875xp High 2500xp That's a lot of goblind. Im trying to limit encounters to X2 the PCs as per DMG recommendations. Last session (lvl 3) i used a goblin hexer, 2 ogre and 4 goblin...

So one year on i thinking how 5.5 could be improved. But not requiring a full rewrite atlas my 6E thread. Where did 5.5 hit the mark and where did it whiff. Im going with the assumption that one likes 5 5. Drastic changes are the 6E thread. Overall I think the class balance is fairly good at...

Ok thought exercise here. If one had to (ignoring boredom) how many offensive spells do you think would be the minimum you could get away with for a campaign that go to 10th lvl minimum? Ignoring cantrips you get them anyway. My thoughts. Ideally you would want. 1 target Few targets...

So this is a how I would do 6E thread. An actual 6E not a revision of 5.5. That might be a 5.75 thread. I woukd use the 5E engine. Perhaps with a stretched bounded accuracy going to +6 to +11. Why reinvent the wheel? Everything else would be up for consideration. Basically I woukdld survey...
