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 coukd 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...

So mighty adventurer. You are starting at level 1 the future awaits. I will be rating the classes based on how good they are level 1-4. Very broadly primary casters will be getting a comparatively low rating due to lack of resources. They generally have 2-5 spells available with a few low level...

So a Zard concept build. The basic engine works well enough. Playable from lvl 1. Basic build is Celestial Warlock 6, Devotion Paladin 3. Personally I woukd go Warlock 1-6 first but I can see a Paladin splash. The Warlocks also the best spellcaster tier 1. Smooth and easy. Builds not to...

So at first glance spellfire Flare is a level 1 C tier mediocre spell. 2d10 radiant damage. Extra flare per level upcast. Has an inbuilt sharpshooter/wand of the warmage effect. Its easy to compare to scorching ray. 2d6 per ray, 3 rays at level 2. In brackets I'm adding hex Lvl 2 SR. 21...

As the title says. Basically I want better saves. Feats Race Human or Elf (true strike elf or Magic initiate: wizard). Origin. Guide (Magic Initiate Druid shillelagh+guidance) Feats. Lvl 1-8 Warcaster Fae Touched (hex) Resilient; Wisdom Duelist, weapon master prone+ranged one of your...

Well things seem expensive in USA. Cheapest slop here is probably a fish and chip shop. After D&D on Sunday we went through a rough (by local standards) area of town. Menu. 1NZD= 0.55 usd. Shop had a strange smell. Childhood memories. They cooked in beef fats oil. That pile of...

So the ranger isnt to popular. The class is mostly fine level 1-10 or so. As long as you know what you're doing and don't screw things up. At level 11 it starts falling behind the other martisls though. So what multiclas would you do and when? Im not out to make a better ranger but character...

So the PCs are level 3.5 and we will he using bastions at 5th level. They have been doing various jobs for factions. V. Vermeillon. From a Deep and Creeping Darkness in Candlekeep Mysteries. Has a platinum mine and various dilapidated buildings to restore. Smells like dead Meezels. L...

So new campaign is using dead magic and wild magic. So far they've encountered 2 "shadow storms" which are essentially mobile wild magic zones of shadow. Theyre lvl 3. Big bads are Shar aligned. Im wanting to focus on less combat so im thinking of hitting the PCs where it hurts. Bringing back...

At least in the civilized parts of the world. Breakfast. We skip lunch dinner later. Blue. Skies cracker summer morning.

So we completed this adventure in around 5 hours. Group really enjoyed it lvl 1 and 2. Nice amount of skill checks and interesting interactions with regret and the summoning. Ran it mostly as is. Made Myrna a harper and Powel a Zhent. Awarded 2 reknown for the harpers after completing the...

So I have a reasonably good idea on how to build a support/control artificer. How would you build a high damage one? Espicially early on before lvl 11. Doesn't have to be 100% focused on damage eg Artillerist can grant temp hp. Do you splash a level of something for weapon masteries...

So the cartographer has the reputation of being the weakest artificer. Im not sure about that as you have a few more options. For example the artilerist and battlesmith probably have other things to do with their actions. And may have to use spell slots to do their thing. Expanding on This...
