I was half drunk and looking at funny pictures during my 5e game (my guy was unconscious and everyone was looting the balor horde and left me there smoldering slightly). They asked me what was so funny so I linked them the /k/ thread about tge guy who got a Remington shotgun barrel stuck in his ass.
I can't hide my incredibly different sense of humor anymore.

regarding 'favorite 5e monster' I think I might need to wait until Volo's Guide to Monsters comes out.
Also I might need to read the MM.

Mimics will always be my favorite monster to use. I can't really use them as chests anymore since players will just see it coming a mile away now

>Cursed splinters?

sure, why not
you could have a splinter from the wood of a cursed house or temple and a little bit of the curse goes with you until you get it out

freak your players out, be like "roll to remove the splinter" and if they fail it stays with them

The Dwarf-only Arcane Battle-Smasher archetype. They wield an over-sized waraxe or -hammer primarily, but they can use just about any simple or dwarven weapon of an overly sized proportion.
They specialize in medium armor and can trade spellslots for "counterspell", which is a concentration check with an attackroll that does force damage equivalent to Smite except with d4s

The Bard.

>>48328626

I used to, many years ago. But over time it got more and more depressing to see these places lying idle and unused, never to be explored by real people. I got so sick of seeing my ideas folders and being reminded of that that I hid them in cupboard. Then every time I got something from that cupboard I'd remember the folders and feels bad. In the end I burned them all in my back garden.

>>48328626
Yes.

There is a world building general thread up usually.

In 4e, there are four basic roles: Leader, Defender, Striker, and Controller. Each class falls under one of these roles, though the specifics of how they do so are unique. Leaders heal and improve allies' capabilities (and tend to be the party face), Defenders draw fire and tangle up enemy forces (and are more durable, so they can survive traps and falls and such better), Strikers deal the most damage and have the best mobility (and typically have exploration-based skillsets), Controllers apply disabling effects to groups (and are usually the knowledge-based party members).

Each class has its own set of powers which reinforces their role while defining its individual characteristics. You gain new powers (or replace older ones with better ones) at almost every level. Most of these powers are combat-based, but you also get utility powers that provide some other capability. For example, one of my favorites is the Warlock's Beguiling Tongue, which gives you a +5 bonus to a Bluff or Intimidate check.

What this all means is that the structure of all the classes is a lot more unified. Every class gains new powers of similar potency at the same levels; it's the contents of those powers that give each class its flavor.

D&D 5e is the latest edition, and don't worry, it doesn't use THAC0. It uses the same basic "roll a d20, add relevant modifiers, compare to target number" mechanic that 3e and 4e used, and the six basic stats are all still there. There are a few big changes that are worth noting, since you've been away for so long.

To elaborate on how multiclassing works in 3e and 5e (I can't speak for 4e since I haven't played it), instead of having parallel classes with their own experience point totals, you instead have your character level, which is the sum total of all your class levels, and everyone requires the same amount of experience points to reach a given level. This means that if you have 5 levels in fighter and 5 levels in rogue, you're a level 10 character.

Another big thing that 3e and 5e did was give each class unique abilities that they gain every few levels, and what 5e did was give you a choice of an archetype that further differentiates your character from other members of the same class. This, in addition to feats (which anyone can take), means characters are more customizable and variable than they were in 2e. For example, you could have a party of fighters, all with different specializations -- in 5e, this could be a party with a champion, a battle master, an eldritch knight, a monster hunter, and a cavalier. They'd all be good at straight-up fighting, but they all approach it in a different way and have very different abilities.

Thinking about it, pretty much any Supernatural campaign could work with this as a backdrop, with the obvious exception of Vampire due to the whole eternal global daylight thing. I've been wanting to run a unique Mage campaign for a while and this looks like a great way to knock WoD players out of familiar territory. The Seers of the Throne would probably be pleased as punch about the whole thing and would only re-emerge if they found out that feral Mages had as well, I can only guess that the Spirit World has been sealed off somehow and would need the return of Werewolves, either from some kind of suspended animation or from sheltering in the Spirit World itself, to engage.

Picture related is my favorite island. I checked on my naya deck and the land base is right at 50% basics with 16 out of 33 being basic. Shivan Harvest is my favorite nonbasic hate.

Could go for Plutchik's wheel - basic emotions are joy, trust, fear, and surprise, and their opposites.

>>48325688
That seems like a nice basis, though Surprise/Anticipation is kind of thematically weak.

>>48326017
It's honestly not that weak. It could be the quick and easy route for magic users. It's insanely easy to cause surprise/anticipation but it's also very fleeting.
