Hi folks, The Banneret archetype has long been regarded as one of the weakest Fighter archetypes. I've written up a significantly upgraded version and I'd appreciate feedback about power level and theme. I think it's on par with the more powerful fighter archetypes (which are, IMO...

I've not been around here a lot lately, but I've been playing a lot of 5e (and P2e). I've been thinking about a number of archetypes that are either too powerful or too weak and how to fix them. I'm going to start with the Banneret/Purple Dragon Knight. ----- Consensus of an issue RPGbot...

So I'm thinking of building a character around the help action. I'm trying to figure out how to do that as effectively as possible. So I'm trying to find all the options (race/class/feat/etc.) to improve the action. I'm including UA arcana stuff unless it's been replaced by official material...

We have an intelligent skyjek roc (5etools) that will soon have 4 levels of Barbarian. Thoughts on a feat (I don't think a stat gain makes sense). Nothing jumps out at me as being great. Lucky might be the best, but this is an NPC run mostly by a player and I'd prefer to avoid things that...

Posted on Paizo without a response. Thought i'd try here... ========================================= Does Spell resistance apply to the damage dealt by the spell Planar Aegis? And isn't Planar Aegis just strictly better (more damage, more options) than fire shield? The spell seems almost too...

What is the maximum amount a skyjeck Roc can carry and still fly? 20 STR, large. https://5e.tools/bestiary/skyjek-roc-ggr.html

hi folks, I'm trying to balance feats a bit for my next game. I didn't get around to fixing all the overly weak feats (doesn't usually greatly impact the game as no one takes them), but I tried to "punch up" some of the weaker ones. Also tried to limit some of the stronger ones. I'd...

Hi folks, A group of old friends distributed all over the US have been using Fantasy Grounds for years now and it works well (pathfinder, 5e and a bit of blades-in-the-dark). But our next pathfinder game looks like it will have 6 players and will be more intrigue oriented than we normally do...

Probably been asked elsewhere, but if you could change/fix just a handful of 5e things, what would go on your list? There are a handful (5? 6?) feats that are just too good. They probably need to move down a bit in power. I find that the point-buy rules make characters a bit too "samey" even...

I'm shooting for CR 13, but I think it's probably 14? I'd like your thoughts. Aspect Of Tiamat Huge dragon, chaotic evil Armor Class 20 (Natural Armor) Hit Points 190 (18d10 + 90) Speed 40 ft., climb 40 ft., fly 80 ft. STR 24 (+7) DEX 11 (+0) CON 20 (+5) INT 19 (+4) WIS 16 (+3) CHA 19 (+4)...

Hi folks, I see there was a kickstarter for a Red Hand of Doom conversion guide. A) was it any good? B) is there any way to get a hold of it? Thanks!

Hi folks, I'm cleaning house and heading to GenCon (just for Sunday) and found a bunch of the old Polyhedron news magazines laying around. Issues 1 to 20 or something like that. Are these worth trying to sell? If so, any idea on prices or what shop (or person I guess) might be interested...

I've mostly either played games (both in person and on fantasy grounds) or run home-brewed games. I'm going to start a Yawning Portal game (that might morph into Strahd at some point). And I'm starting to think about prep. Is there any pre-done work that has the monster stat blocks grouped by...

Hi folks, I'm planning on starting a new 5e game. I _really_ like 5e, but I've found, especially at lower-levels, that alt-human is a bit overpowered. That first feat makes a huge difference. I also think that feats are really fun for 1st level characters to have. Also, the standard human...

How does the text in polearm mastery about "enter your reach" work with cover? Assume a reach weapon is being used. If a creature was 10 feet away but behind full cover and then steps so that it no longer has cover (at either 5 feet or 10 feet), does that trigger an opportunity attack...

Hi folks, I want to check if the following is legal. Could I take a hexblade (playtest version at least), wield an arcane focus staff and a shield and still: Use Hex Warrior to add charisma for attack and damage Take full advantage of polearm mastery? Cast spells freely (no "item manipulation"...

Hi folks, I'm considering running a short introduction to 5e targeted to kids aged 11-15 or so at a game con. I've got the adventure written (ran something like this for some kids at a gathering of friends a couple of years ago), but really don't have the time to make nice and easy-to-use...

Hi folks, Quick pounce questions: If you charge with a pounce, do you get +2 to all attacks or just the first? Do all the attacks need to target the same creature or can you split your attacks? Thanks!

There have been a few discussions about "best Gish" hidden in other threads, but given that I strongly prefer to play casters who can hold their own in melee, I thought it would be fun to see what folks prefer for their fighter/caster. Without multiclassing, I'd say you've got the valor bard...

I was told at a convention that there was some ruling about potions and concentration (on twitter?) Anyone see this?
