/5eg/ Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition General

Can you transition from the starting adventure in the basic set to one of the campaign books, or are the levels going to be off?

What are some good mini adventures or collection of mini adventures that can be done in a city?

What's a good magic item to give to a level 7 Glamour Bard? I want to give every party member something permanent that suits them. But on the other hand I want just give her a wand if lightning bolt because not every situation calls for a fancy support/control spell, sometimes you just want to shit out some damage. And since I'm running STK with 3 people and not changing encounters, I figure some extra damage can't hurt. What do you all think? Anything that would suit a Glamour Bard better for flavour? She does tend to use her looks to help her get what she wants.

>>55027158
Storm King's Thunder is specifically designed so that you can carry over from LMoP and other adventures, not sure about other campaigns though.

>>55027108
The DM had a Nalfeshnee named Rhino pop up twice in a campeign, cleric just banished him the first time and the second time the ranger beat him back to where he came from

Rank the adventure books.

Which book went into detail about the order of the gauntlet?

While his intentions for practicing Necromancy are entirely based on solving his own issues, there's no reason to believe he'd allow his undead to do harm to anyone else. If anything, he's more likely to use the undead to solve peoples issues rather than add to them.

Lads, I've got a bit of a problem. How do I destroy a culture? I'm not talking about a huge nation or a country, I mean about two hundred people or so.
I don't want to kill them or anything, I just find their ways abhorrent, and the gods they worship unacceptable. I want to make them more like us, you know, preferably in a single generation, since we're talking about long-lived elves.

If it helps, I hold significant power of them, being a baron and all.

Let's get controversial.

Is it a stupid idea to have archfey that is lord of spiders or do you guys think that is to close to Lolth?

>>55027440
Similar problem here, my friend.
Only I really like character progression and like to play all the way from 1-20. If I jump in at say, level 5, it's just not the same. I always like the "we're basically shit and could die from a strong gust of wind" levels.

>>55027440
Same.
Surely you realise you'd have the same issue even if you did get a new character to play.

>>55027454

I wish I had been able to play CoS under an experienced, seasoned, well-prepared DM instead of a bumbling-but-well-meaning first timer.

I really feel like I lost out.

>>55027425
They only seem "weak" because they invite comparison with the wizard which does the same kind of things but better. But when wizards are one of the best classes, being a shitty wizard is still pretty good.

I'm running Lost mines of Phandelver and decided to break up the monotony with the goblins in Cragmaw Castle. The goblin priest now has a couple of spells and I tried to homebrew something fun for the mess hall with the goblin head chef Yegg. The party is balanced and consists of 5 lvl 3 characters. I would apreciate it you all could take a look and give me your thoughts.

The fight wil also contain 4 goblin cooks that prepare the meals with their action and use giant cutterly.

>>55027461
Fey are often associated with dreams. Make them into a dreamweaver/catcher type patron. And how about they use literal fey spiders to weave dream catchers. And they're the reason you can never remember that sweet dream you had the night before. They stole it.

>>55027467
FULL COMMONER CAMPAIGN. Maybe allow an adept or nobleman.

>>55027292
>Druid
>God tier
What did he mean by this

>>55027491
That's kinda true. Personally, the reason I like sorcerers is because they can do themes rather well. Whereas even though wizards have schools, I feel like you certainly have to diversify.

For example, fire/ice mage is done best by a sorcerer.
Really, the best way to fix sorcerer is by just giving them expanded spell lists. Especially so that you can pick elements other than those two and have enough spells to fill up your kit with.

>>55027491
i agree with you, the problem, of course, is when you go to make a character and go "why am I not just a wizard?"

>>55027525
Druids are the tankiest motherfuckers in this edition, particularly at the levels that 95% of games are played

>>55027525
He meant if you're playing at level 2, or above level 10.
The mid levels, where most campaigns kinda sit around or end, they aren't super great.

>>55027525
Are you implying I'm wrong? The only class that beats a Druid is a Wizard, maybe a Bard depending on builds

>>55027498
While that is a great idea the dream aspect won't really effect the character I'm working on cause is an elf any other ideas would be great.

>>55027592
Sure but it could affect his party. They still do meditation and enter a dream-like state even if they're elves.

But anyway, tell me more. What exactly are you envisioning?

>>55027404
>>55027292
Are rogues really that shitty? I was planning on playing one.

>>55027649
Rogues are great, there aren't really any "bad" classes, it's just that in comparison to spellcasters everything feels kinda lacking. Rogues are kinda boring in combat though

>>55027738
yeah I hate the NHS but what's that got to do with D&D?

>>55027690
What do you guys think about invocations that let the warlock cast-level appropriate spells from the linked UA a number of times per day equal to their CHA mod?

I wanted to be a sneaky skill guy who also does decent in combat. Was thinking about Arcane Trickster to add a little magic to that too.

>>55027776
it uses it

Powerful firearms become ubiquitous. How does this affect each class?
Initial thoughts:
>Barbarian
Their damage now even weaker compared to other classes, barbarians become shock-troop disruption tanks.
>Bard
Bards use firearms until their cantrips catch up; valor bards may continue using firearms into later levels.
>Cleric
Clerics use firearms until their cantrips catch up. Divine Strike clerics probably don't need damage cantrips at all.
>Druid
Wild Shape's relative damage is nerfed. Druids either stick to guns and attack/utility spells or convince the DM to let them wield guns in ape form.
>Fighter
With many attacks and Action Surge, fighters become specialists in heavy firearms, or adopt a SWAT-style shield-and-pistol loadout.
>Monk
Monks become really bad, since their CC requires hitting in melee. Kensei might still be good?
>Paladin
If your DM allows smiting with ranged weapons, paladins definitely go for pistols. Maybe even two of them.
If not, they're still viable as shock troops with occasional damage bursts.
>Ranger
Rangers change very little. They just use guns instead of bows. Probably big ones, because ranger action economy likes bonus actions.
>Rogue
Melee rogues become less common (although still possible with a barbarian or paladin on the team). Ranged rogues change very little.
>Sorcerer
When not casting spells, uses a gun to attack, except when twinning cantrips. Switches to cantrips exclusively once they catch up.
>Warlock
Can you get a ranged pact weapon? If yes, probably still better to just spam Eldritch Blast, except when aiming to smite (assuming that's also permitted).
>Wizards
Same as sorcerers, except no twinning cantrips.

>muh wizaduh
Come at my dual greatsword wielding berserker broh

>>55027827
What of firearms do you mean?
Modern weaponry or dwarwn flintlocks and so on?

So can I get clarification on how Ritual Caster works, if I have 13 wisdom can I take wizard ritual casting and vice versa

>>55027859
Even the DMG's Renaissance firearms could produce some shift (1-handed 1d10 ranged weapon is no joke), but I was thinking closer to the modern firearms table. Something that really shakes up the melee/ranged balance.

>>55027292

I honestly think bards are better than wizards, or at lest equal.

The adults are a lost cause. Try to convert them through diplomatic means and they'll ignore you. Try to crush their beliefs and you'll only drive them underground. Execute their leaders or high priests and you'll only make martyrs.
Take the children under six years of age, and while their minds are still maleable, teach them the ways of whichever god seems best at the time. Release them back into the community en masse when they reach their twenties. The new generation is now your own personal zealot army, and their families can't do a single thing about it.

>>55027691

What happened?

>>55027876
You can take ritual Caster without pre requisite stats, but if that ritual has a DC or something, it is determined by that classes spellcasting ability modifier

thats part of the meme lad

wizards are 200 IQ masterminds who know the perfect spell and move for every situation and have those spells prepared at all times

>>55027892
Since we can decide what we roll, I roll high enough to save on my turn so neither of us really did anything in the first round.

rogues have a solid base but WotC basically didn't bother with the higher levels of the class, so you have to be prepared to branch out. it's also a decent class to dip into for the same reason.

>>55027890
They are better.
>>55027292
Is an idiot who looks at the Wizard Spell list and goes "I can use any of these at anytime". I also have 2 1's on my Portent rolls since Divination is so OP XD.

>>55028084
>20+ save DC
Don't be ridiculous
We can't assume save DCs higher than 19 (8 + 5 (20 INT) + 6 (prof)) when doing hypotheticals like this

Which should I go with:

Bladesinger/Eldritch Knight
Bladesinger/Arcane Trickster

?

How deep of a warlock dip should a sorcerer take? Any suggestions on types? UA stuff is allowed

why are martials so bad
its not even fun
they should buff martials
this is not a rpg where melee only do thanking

>>55028170
Are you seriously questioning wizard chad anon?

>>55028174

I wish Wizards gave clerics more options to be good at melee. I mean, sure, yeah, spirit guardians is fucking great and makes party's fighter really envious of me, but casting it in every combat gets stale after a while. Sometimes I don't want to AoE people around me, I just want to whack people really hard.
I wish there was a spell that made me really good at hitting people with a sword, even not as good as fighter.

>>55028199
I dunno, I quite enjoy martials.
When you start getting into high levels though, they do start feeling lesser.
However, I think if you've got a good DM they will start giving shit to martials to bring up their power level to also feel somewhat like gods, but in different ways. Which isn't a defense of the system, but just saying it can be helped massively by a good DM.

>>55028325
yeah i know
but there are some DM's with the mage fuck yeah mentality

>>55027903
Jesus, that's a long story.

Basically he was my AL DM back during the CoS season, and when he was under that very strict and rigid rails he was a very responsible and judicious DM, hell I owe him for teaching me the ropes on this game.

But eventually the season was done and the group decided that man it sure would have been nice to also do Curse of Strahd with the same characters, who were about level 7-8, and little did I know the guy took it as "permition to be" epic"" and the sudden lack of hard restrictions on HOMEBREW ruined the whole deal.

Every session is a fucking slog the guy has 0 Role-play proficiency and literally added grinding mils spots that do nothing other than" kill this, then kills this, then kill this and collect loot at the bottom" that would destroy us multiple sessions.

The group legit considers it a filler borefest if se didn't have a 3 hour combat encounter

And because my party members are people who legitimately said "I want to play a Druid because I want infinite wildshapes at level 20" I'm kind of stuck here out of Devotion for me dearly beloved character whom I intend to give a proper send off before never looking back

I'm already DM ing this adventure to a close group of friends and the drastic difference makes me want to weep.

>>55028305
War cleric magic weapon is pretty good desu.
Having +3 to hit and damage and then you've got your additional radiant damage. Shit feels nice.

Don't compare yourself to a fighter though. You're not, and you shouldn't be. Hitting hard in melee is the realm of fighters, rogues, and barbs. You get to be a full caster. Can't have it all, senpai.

Paladins are basically the hit-hard in melee-range clerics, if you so choose to play one that way.

>>55028401

N-NANI?

>>55028401
Masaka!

What are the pros and cons of Berserker versus Totem Barbarian?

>>55028386
Yeah dude I know what you mean.
To me, combat is usually the "borefest." Roleplay is where it's at. I almost exclusively treat combat as a way to resolve certain issues. It's never "the" solution, per say. But sometimes things inevitably will come to blows.

It makes me so fucking happy when players come up with a good way to bypass combat. It's so much less work for me and they feel smart after doing so.

>>55027230

Note: these are just my opinions based upon what I've seen players do, along with the theoretical max of what the class can do. Sticking to the PHB stuff, because a lot of the UA stuff can be placed into S through B-tier.

Slightly better dpr, worse tankyness, practically useless abilities besides the first one and retaliate.

>>55028448
Totem bear is the
>nothing will hurt me, not even dragon fire
subclass of barb.

Berserker is the
>I will hurt myself by getting too angry
subclass.

If berserker could bypass normal exhaustion rules and be fine after a short rest, then it might be worth it.

>>55028494
Chain warlock is pretty hot too if your DM lets you abuse it properly. That hold-monster at will is also very very nice assuming you can fight fucking monsters all day every day.

Conditional B tier. B- to B+

>>55028474
I thought I'd resolve this problem by just picking autowin spells, like Hypnotic Pattern and mass suggestion.

The bitch fit the DM through was of such proportions that to this day I still can't respect him

>>55028448
Berserker is pure shit. You can literally KILL YOURSELF by using your class features. Keep in mind that Totem Barbarian's features are absolutely safe, but just as powerful.

Does every party need a bard?

What's your favorite table in the DMG?

I just used the chase complications table, and it was a blast as DM, as well as my players all loving it.

>>55028538
That's so dumb, man. I don't get why people DM if they don't like when players do things.
Fucking mass suggestion can be hilarious, especially if one guy doesn't fail.

>>55028576
There's no *need* per se, but every party is markedly better with one

>>55028576
Every party wants a bard.
>Expertise (Deception)
>Day 122 the party still hasn't noticed I'm not a wizard

>>55028590
Yeah that's a really good one. Personally I can never be assed to actually look up the tables when they might be useful so I make a small table in my head and roll a dice.

>>55028448

Pros
>Bonus Action attack
>Immune to fear and charm
>Reaction to hit people who hit you
Cons
>Miss out on really good totem features
>Exhaustion level rises when you end Rage
>Level 10 feature is pretty crappy

>>55028532
That's the thing; not a lot of DMs will allow that abuse to be constant.

>>55028593
Man, I used to be so fun as a player, constantly wanting to move around, dealing favors and correcting injustices and crafting magical oddities with the pieces of puzzles left from each dungeon and story lines

No more. I'm just quiet now in a corner spamming Eldritch Blast until every one is done with feeling " epic"

>>55028694
Alrighty. I could let them happen upon those in some circumstance.

>>55028717
This was my initial plan. I was just making sure this was how it was for the majority of the underdark. Maybe just the upper tier (closer to surface) or is it all like that?

I WOULD like the islands to be completely dark. Darklake? Think that's the name?

>>55028736
It's on the edge for me; it's definitely high C or low B-tier.

>>55028754
I've been calling him an autist for a while now, especially in the last thread. Only because he thinks a class is utterly useless if it can't put out huge damage, and because it's true.

>>55028780
I parts that have it are all the parts they are in until the people without it have a light source or other means to see in the dark.

Although, if they've got casters in the group that can learn dark vision, it's not a bad idea to give them a headsup that portions of it are completely dark. And DM hint them into taking dark vision to help their party members that can't see.

>>55028829
But that's true. If you can't pump out big numbers, what good are you? Everyone knows you need to be a paladin gwm+pam+sentinel tunnel fighter damn. All others need not apply.

The old version was retarded, it basically requires all invasion/dungeon crawl type scenarios to have all enemies arbitrarily hanging 31 feet away from the door so you don't know exactly what to deal with at all times. The buffed version is a stronger version you can't use literally infinite times. Once per short rest is maybe too few, but it's miles better in terms of not making the game dumb as hell.

>>55029464
Oh, I forgot to mention that not only was gaze stupid as shit, but because they got rid of the (also stupid) concept of invocations tied to patrons they absolutely needed to tone it down because otherwise it would be an invocation that literally every warlock would have

Repeating from last thread:

What are some interesting motivations for an Aboleth who wants to ascend into godhood by consuming the essence of a Great Old One?

I mean, revenge against the gods is out of the table since, in the setting, there's no actual proof that the gods exist, or that they had any part in creating/transforming the world.

What are some fun Arcane Trickster Mage Hand shenanigans I can pull?

>>55029610
Wanting to ascend to godhood IS a motivation, Anon.
>but why
Why does anyone do anything? There doesn't need to be a deeper meaning. He wants power. If you're looking for a motivation that justifies the supreme assholishness of aboleths in lusting for godpowers, just know that all "justified badguy" plots EVER do is make the villain look like a whiny little bitch.

Go on, open challenge to the thread: name an evil villain from anything and the "justification" the author uses so that we can all "identify" with him and think he's such a well-rounded three-dimensional character and not some little fuckin' bitch who just couldn't deal with tragedy like a sane person or is coming up with excuses for "I wanna have the biggest dick".

>>55029778
Course if anything the very fact that you are capable of criticizing Universities is proof that they need to step up their indoctrination game.

Is there a class/feat/race that makes your character stronger the more damage they take?

>>55030101
> Opinions on the UA Artificer?
It's basically unplayable. The spells are worthless, the robot is super strong for a few levels and then becomes worthless, and both the gun and the alchemist are largely outdone by just being a warlock or other range character (with the one exception of the fluff breaking healing ability that lets you give an entire army a healing potion with no cost or downtime but is otherwise pretty worthless)

>Warlocks can choose Intelligence instead of Charisma as their spellcasting modifier
Wouldn't this just make them worse outside of buffing wizards even more?

>>55030037
Don't fall into that old meme. Just because a class isn't very good doesn't mean people hate it.

>>55030101

Ban GWM, PWM, SS, and XBE as starting feats for Variant Humans.

They're fine feats but to take one of them at Level 1 is too much power too early. It also encourages Variant Humans to take more flavorful feats.

>>55030169
And except rogues are fun and fine. Especially with their sneak attack and bonus actions.

>>55030101
>1) Opinions on the UA Artificer? The setting I'm building has a huge industrial aspect so I feel compelled to include the class option.
I like the abilities they get, they just need to have something to use their abilities on, like their ability to share spells, great ability, really love it, and then you look at their spell list and go "okay I got haste and...haste, i guess"

>>55030161
>It's basically unplayable.
Thanks for the lowdown. I love the idea of the class but I was afraid of it being a trap option for my players.

>Wouldn't this just make them worse outside of buffing wizards even more?

If they still want to use Charisma, they can. I just wanted to provide the option of another INT Caster for someone who doesn't want to necessarily be a wizard. A Pact of the Tome warlock, especially, would be similar.

>>55030117
You right about that.

>>55030192
Yes, they're fine if you're not playing to higher levels, or if you are playing to higher levels and don't mind being outclassed.

>>55029001
God, so good.
I have discovered I have a bit of a talent for foreshadowing, blending mechanics into roleplay and unredeemable but sympathetic villains, and so my players are constantly on the edge of their chairs trying to negotiate just barely enough audacity to escape with their lives.

Their paultry victories are adding up though, and surely but slowly they are realizing that the name of the game isn't killing strahd, but restoring life, hope and emotion to this dark and desolated place.

>>55030046

>>55030219
They'll still be fine though. Also in a team game, everyone will be able to contribute meaningfully.

>>55029758
Damn. I don't mean anything like that. I just think a highly intelligent creature would obtain power just for the sake of power. I've already got another villain set up in parallel with this sort of objective.

I came across the idea that the aboleth sees ascension as the only way to leave the material plane, because he finds it disgusting and its inhabitants "unchallenging". Maybe he wants to reset the civilized world, and recreate it after his own image. But these ideas still seem undercooked to me.

>>55027228

Please, keep your shit here, if you'd be so kind.

The spell points rule limits you to 1 per day of 6th-level and higher spells.

Oh I have just that in my setting. It's called "The horns"

It's not very impressive, but it gains charm when my NPC's swear by it, and Use it so often in their vernacular that it caught on pretty seemlesly, and I've caught my players doing the same out of session

>Bloody Horns!
>Well this plan went to the Horns pretty fast
>Lord Ferdovan is a horn stuck bastard.

Rolling for health AND low con scores? Fuck, man.
Made that mistake the very first time I played d&d. My wizard didn't make it past third level.

Try and split the battlefield if at all possible.
I don't know exactly what's going on, but if someone can put up a wall of flame to keep drow at bay during the dragon fight, that would be optimal. Focus firing targets is a must, of course.

Okay, severe autist. Learn some social skills. I thought roleplaying was supposed to help you with that.

Why are you this buttblasted?

>>55031061
>Rolling for health AND low con scores? Fuck, man.

Yeah, we don't do that anymore really. This is our very first campaign we ever played, all started DnD together and are finally completing it, so we are just keeping the same rulings for health and whatnot as we did earlier on. Plus some 3.5 conversions may have not helped very much.

Blade Barrier probably works similarly for that sort of strategy, eh?

>the gullet

Ooh that's good.

DMing for a bunch of new players, got a sticky fingered rogue of course. Not sure whether to let them loot goodies to sell later, or introduce some kind of monster carving. It fits the world, chopping up monsters and such to sell.

Anyone got recommendations on resources to do something like that, or should I just make shit up as I go blind?

>>55031122
>or should I just make shit up as I go blind?

Generally, for questions of the sort, do this.

paladin/sorcerer or warlock/sorcerer with UA involved. I feel like both have their merits but maybe I'm misunderstanding how effective one or the other actually looks.

I'm tired of the fucking Yuan-ti subverting our Kingdoms!
And whenever our paladins try and do anything about it they're labeled as oathbreakers by the town criers.
Our wizards could fix this if they'd just bring down the main street meteor to show them we're not fucking around.

>>55031105
>Why are you this buttblasted?
Nigga, I'm not mad. Stop projecting. Listen, if you want to stand up for the "oppressed" at least do it in character. Or go fight about it on pol.

>>55031173
You sure sounded mad.

>>55031107
>Blade Barrier probably works similarly for that sort of strategy, eh?
Yeah that's not bad either. Really, if you aren't able to do a lot of burst damage all at once, controlling the battlefield to your advantage is your best bet.
If everyone starts dropping have your cleric cast sanctuary on themselves so they can channel divinity to get people back up.

There's no need to be upset.

No worries. Pol should fuck off. We're a 5e discussion thread.

hexblade 5/whatever paladin 6-7/red dragon sorcerer x

blow your entire load in one round with GFB, quicken smite spell, and then load up divine/eldritch smites along with hex and hexblade curse and some other shit to put all the numbers out and reduce something into subatomic particles

>>55031105
Posting on an anonymous image board doesn't require social skills beyond "don't be a little bitch," an area you're sorely deficient in.

>>55031272
Is hex actually any good in melee?

>It was likely said as a joke, which some people thought funny, and other people (you, for instance) didn't.

Ironically I actually thought the very first (((universities))) thing was kind of amusing. It was short enough to have punch to it. The subsequent conversation they had about it suggested the possibility that he was just hiding his actual /pol/ tendencies behind an attempt at humor.

That said, I was also on board with that guy in this thread making Jewish-Conspiracy Yuant-Ti so I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

I leave it all up to (((Jesus))) now.

New to 5e.

What class and subclass should I play if I want to be an annoying shit? Both in and out of combat?

>>55031291
You sound upset, did your feefees get hurt? Learn to interact with others.

Am I right to assume that "first aid" isn't the Healer's Kit in the "Stabilizing A Creature" description? Because in the Healer's Kit description, it says I can stabilize a create without needing a Wisdom (Medicine) check. If so, my question is... what's the first aid? Is it an item, or just a role-playing action?

>>55031376
You are right.
Anyone can attempt to administer first aid with a medicine check.
If you have a healer's kit, you don't have to make a check. It is a separate item you can buy.

>>55031376
>If so, my question is... what's the first aid? Is it an item, or just a role-playing action?
First aid is an action, essentially. It isn't an item.

Just be yourself.

JK, for real though, bard.

>>55031375
My brain literally cannot do that.

I'm like a shark, I just gotta... keep analyzing.

>>55031330
Bards can taunt enemies to death. You can fluff that by telling bad jokes, using cutting words, and generally being an annoying shit.

>>55031330
Bard like others have said, or Arcane Trickster if you want to play up the rogue part

>>55031330
>>55031582
Satire bard has some shit too, not sure if playable.

You know, I've been playing a Cleric for a while, and I still haven't used any of the divination spells it gets.

I feel like a complete retard. How powerful is this shit so I know just how retarded I was?

Arcane Trickster can have an owl fly past whatever you're fighting every turn to distract it while you keep stabbing it in the back, so that's pretty annoying

can we get some more book memes?

I need a new one for this upcoming session

>>55031609
I mostly use divination shit as a means to drive the plot forward when I can tell the DM is struggling to.

Let's list ways to be as annoying as shit with bards and tricksters, while we're at it.
