​I decided to show you my special custom d20 that I use as a Dungeon Master. As you can clearly see from the picture, every single face on this die is a 20. It's the ultimate tool for when the party decides to split up or do something incredibly reckless, and I need to remind them who runs the game. Obviously, it's just a funny prop and a joke item, but my players always get a minor heart attack whenever I bring it out and roll it behind the DM screen. The sound of a rolling die followed by an immediate "natural 20" is pure terror for them. How would your players react if you showed up to a session with a die like this?

A player recently went through a massive aracnic event at the end of last session. They want to change their level 12 wizard/level 3 rogue into a level 15 wizard. Their argument is that through the arcane event they were flooded with knowledge about magic, but they were also left crippled ,unable to perform as a rogue any longer.

The actual reason is that early in the campaign the spect into rogue and tainted their wizard build unknowingly, and they want access to high levels skills and they don't use the rogue features

Given the extraordinary conditions and reasoning I would vote yes but Im wondering if any saine DM would allow this

I am a new player starting with The Lost Library of Lethchauntos as my first campaign, so I decided to commission a drawing of my character! My plan is to play as many campaigns as possible with this same character, and then have another drawing made to have a "before/after" comparison after a few years.

His name is Kal'el, a Goliath with the Stone Giant ancestry. He is, as you may be able to guess by the name, heavily inspired by Superman. He has the same personality and sense of justice, and his background also follows this inspiration:

After a Red Dragon decides to claim the territory in the mountains in which his parents' village was located, they are forced to flee in the night, amidst the flames and the incinerated bodies. His father sacrifices himself to distract the Dragon and buy time for his mother and the baby she's holding in her arms, and it's enough for her to finish drawing a circle on the ground, full of sigils.

Unfortunately the Dragon is able to find and attack her just as the portal opens, and seeing that spitting fire wouldn't be fast enough to get her before she jumps in the portal, he reaches with his paw and impales her in the ground with one of his claws. Still, her arms go through portal, and as it starts to fizzle away the dragon instinctively tries to attack through it with this other paw; as a result, both of her arms and one of the Dragon's fingers are cut off as the portal closes.

On the other side, a human farmer passing by with his mule finds a crying baby, still being held by two bleeding, gray arms. Right next to it a massive claw is planted on the ground, with blood running down and painting everything around in red.

This is my Half-Elf College of Dance Bard/Bladesinger Wizard, Fiona Windsong. She's built to specialize in storm-based magic (i.e. wind, thunder, lightning etc). I'm a pretty big Pokemon fan and have a very casual interest in the competitive scene so I thought it'd be fun to design her as if she had the stats, abilities, and moves of a Pokemon without actually being a Pokemon herself!

Anyways, she'd be Flying/Electric type. Her abilities would be Sharpness in base and Speed Boost as hidden. Her melee weapon is a scimitar and bladesong and the mobile feat give her a pretty decent movement speed so these seemed like good fits!

Her base stats would be as follows:

HP: 70
Attack: 100
Defense: 106
Special Attack: 80
Special Defense: 64
Speed: 115

Total: 535

College of Dance's unarmored defense and Bladesong both give her some nice AC, so a high defense felt appropriate. Although, because her build is pretty MAD, her spell saves aren't terribly impressive, as indicated in her low Special Attack/Defense.

I also came up with stats for a "Mega Evolution" (lv 15+):

HP: 70
Attack: 88
Defense: 110
Special Attack: 142
Special Defense: 75
Speed: 150

Total: 635

With enough ASI's, magic items and higher level spells, her damaging potential with spells would increase, allowing her to fight more like a traditional wizard. This is why she loses points in Attack and gains them in Special Attack. Additionally, her Mega would come with a signature ability, "Storm Step" where all moves are used as if heavy rain was on the field even if it's not (pretty much the rain version of Mega Meganium's Mega Sol ability).

Lastly I created a level-up moveset for her:

REM Victory Dance
REM Air Slash
REM Weather Ball
REM Charm
Lv. 1 Gust
Lv. 1 Play Nice
Lv. 4 Quick Attack
Lv. 9 Spark
Lv. 11 Thunder Wave
Lv. 14 Arial Ace
Lv. 20 Follow Me
Lv. 26 Swords Dance
Lv. 30 Thunder Blade (signature move)
Lv. 35 Tailwind
Lv. 42 Rain Dance
Lv. 48 Thunder
Lv. 52 Agility
Lv. 57 Hurricane
Lv. 63 Zephyr Strike (signature move)

The moves "Thunder Blade" and "Zephyr Strike" are obviously made up. They're meant to parallel Booming Blade and Steel Wind Strike respectively. "Thunder Blade" is an electric type move that deals physical damage with a base power of 85 (upped to 127.5 with Sharpness) and has a 30% chance to flinch. "Zephyr Strike" is a +2 priority flying type physical move with a base power of 60 that hits both opponents on the enemy team. That last move is admittedly pretty strong but idc non of this is real anyways.

I think her build is cool because it's simultaneously versatile and limited! You kind of have to base her kit around whether or not you want to mega-evolve her. She plays very differently in each form! Anyways, that's all I bothered to come up with. I hope you found my mini hyperfixation mildly entertaining!

I have the spell find familiar

Now I noticed find familiar lets me cast 10ft away from me

I also noticed that misty step lets me teleport anywhere I can see

And find familiar lets me see through the creatures eyes

So when we came up too a locked door and I saw that there was a slit at the bottom of the door meaning. There wasn't matter on the other side I decided to do this to teleport through the door

And the DM just changed how find familiar worked on the spot so if I'm looking through the familiars eyes I can't cast spells

This happened again when we needed lockpicks in a grim hollow campaign and had none

I used the spell extract iron to make iorn lockpicks from my characters blood

And the DM just changed it and was like uh no you cant make lockpicks because you " haven't seen them " even tho my character literally used to be a thief before they got cleric magic 💢

Here's how this guy came to life 👁 Sculpted the Beholder, made a silicone mold, cast it in resin. Painted him up. Then did the exact same process separately for the eyes and glued them on. The jar was a fun surprise turns out glass and resin don't get along so I had to mold and cast the jar in resin too 😅 Once everything was ready I placed him inside and poured it with resin. Sealed in forever. He's not getting out

Growing up, I never felt safe to indulge in D&D, MTG, high fantasy, or anything deemed "nerdy". It wasn't deemed tough by my peers, and a sign of weakness in my culture. Displaying interest often led to bullying, harassment, and ridicule. I am happy to say that I am now at a point in my life that I can live as a proud nerd. This is the first room you see when you enter my house. I call it my dungeon/nerd cave. I've built a small community of friends and I host many games throughout the week. I feel honored to provide a safe space for my fellow nerds to feel welcome regardless what ridiculous barriers hold them back. For many, my dungeon has been where they got their first taste of D&D. This is a room I'm quite proud of to be honest. This is where I get to truly be me.

Tales of Zymael have haunted Sharn since the fall of the Dhakaani Empire. The Omniscience was once the Dominion of Divination; she observed the Empire of Dhakaan with immense curiosity, having foreseen their rise, and then foresaw their fall. When the Daelkyr invaded Ja’Shaarat, Zymael warned the leaders of the city, enabling them to evacuate many more before the battle was lost. However, they still lost, and Zymael continued to intervene, using her gift of prophecy to aid the survivors of the now renamed Duur'shaarat. The more her presence was known, and with the Tracherous Word severing the tie between the Dhakaani from the Uul Dhakaan, soon she became seen as a true “guardian angel” as the survivors’ minds became open to divine magic and worship, the greatest risk a Syrannian Angel can be exposed to. The more she was prayed to, the more obsessed she became with guiding those lost, the more demanding. She knew best after all, and those who listened to her would live to see another day.

When some of the scattered tribes delved too deep into Khyber and stirred a forgotten regiment of the Lord of Eyes. Zymael couldn't simply guide the tribes away from the beholder, she had to fight. The Dominion engaged the aberration in battle, and as she forsook the peace of Syrannia, their essences... merged as Belashyrra took the opportunity to influence her through her beholder champion. Zymael's wings were warped inside out during the battle, once glorious feathers now flayed and bleeding flesh. Zymael sought to avoid corruption, tearing out her own eyes, and yet it was too late as new eyes opened across her defiled wings. The once shining angel of foresight had become part celestial, part aberration. Cast out from the Spire of Arcana, Zymael directly led the goblin survivors thereon. Sharing her gift of sight with them, slowly her commands grew harsher, crueler, she saw how to guide them… but only with ruthlessness would she ensure they’d survive.

When active, Zymael connects with her followers through their eyes. She sees through them, and can allow them to share vision amidst themselves. This quickly creates a vast network of eyes ever coordinated, and while Zymael holds but a fraction of her powers over divination, the ability to see through the eyes of citizens and direct them has given considerable influence from her newfound domain.
