I've got some animal based races: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2toec?Playable-Animal-Races-5e#1 For a fox race, I found an Endzeitgeist review on a 5e 3PP product containing one: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2u589?Amora-Game-EZG-reviews-Kemonomimi-Moe-Races#1

I tried the same thing, and found it challenging. Some levels don't even have appropriate spells for a cold based sorc. You've got a few options: 1) Reflavor. This is done in two ways. The first is to take spells that normally don't have anything to do with elements and give them a cold...

Most of the time, I just flat out tell them after the relevant spoilers have passed. Although I've had an occasional villain monologue crop up, as well.

Yesterday the announcement came that Robert Adduci is stepping down as the lead on AL. In his announcement, he said the following: (Emphasis mine) Looks like we'll be getting some brand new material soon!

Sorcs have wish.

2e's first summon monster spell wasn't until 5th level. It was a 3rd level spell, and the best you could do was summon a large rat.

I'm really happy that we no longer have Summon Monster I, Summon Monster II, Summon Monster III, etc... I hated those spells. Bogged down the game, slowed battles, made caster classes even more needlessly OP. I'm glad they're a thing of the past.

It's from SCAG. What about that large army of his? If I can see them, then I know he's around, can stay hidden while buffing up. Otherwise, I was preparing for the smaller challenge of "a caster at 1200' away who pelts you with Eldritch Blast." And in that smaller challenge, he wasn't...

A friend of mine asked me to post this build (note: the NK did not have the Alert feat when this build was made): Zolta, female neutral Goblin Rogue (Assassin) 20. AC 17 (Studded Leather +DEX) HP 133 STR 8 DEX 14+2 (goblin) + 2 AsI = 20 CON 13+1 (goblin) = 14 INT 12 WIS 15 +1 (Observant) +2...

Ok, presuming he has typical magic items and not the items specifically used to counter my previous builds (such as everything he can possibly get to maximize AC and immunity to poison). In fact, Mr. Nameless King showed up yesterday on GitP with an altered build, didn't have the Alert feat, and...

Counterspell has a range of 60', though. So he can't use that without being close enough for other spells. So really, it's just a guy at 1200' with Eldritch blast, and that's it. I'd you have see invisibility, then you can see him, too. From there, it's just a matter if getting that range...

It's not that difficult. Many of this villains tactics require him to be close to you, so just wait for that, right? Or be invisible and sneak in close, since he won't cast his buffs until he knows he is in combat (that's how he gets around the sorc point limitations). You can fly right up to...

These two seem out of sync with one another. The first says JC is wrong by the rules, the second suggests a houserule to fix the problem of the rules. But if the second is true, the first can't also be true. Checking the PHB for myself, I don't see where it says that there's a minimum for...

I'm curious what these tenets are that are so sacred as to deny players abilities granted by the book. I've been playing and running D&D games for nearly 30 years, and I've never heard of such tenets. Can anyone site a source for where they come from?

I am utterly flabbergasted that anyone would draw such a conclusion. Background features provide narrative power for a PC so they can accomplish tasks, and often have certain limitations present to prevent them from abusing it. But make no mistake, a Feature is there for the Player, not the...

Now that is just blatantly false. You've completely misunderstood the point of background features. A background feature isn't there for the DM, it's there to provide a PC with narrative power so they can accomplish certain tasks without having to ask permission or roll dice.

I'll start: Urchin Position of Privilege Athletics, Insight, playing cards, Piloting (watercraft) ...and I think I just created the fantasy version of Lone Starr. God damnit.

Ok, how about some fun? Someone come up with the most ridiculous background combinations you can think of, and others will make it work with a character that feels real and natural. Rules Pick the following from any WotC 5e published book Background Name Background Feature Two Skills Two of...

Speaking of Planar Binding, how does that actually work? The only way I can figure it is as follows: Cast Magic Circle (inverted). Cast Gate. Cast Planar Binding. There's some issues with that, though. 1) Gate is a 9th level spell, which the villain doesn't have and can't wish for. Another...
