There are a lot of spells in DND that seem unimpressive, unassuming, or borderline useless. What has been your favorite way that you've used one of these spells in a creative way?

My DND club decided to work together to make 400 different curses and so I thought I’d finally use it for something. (If it is a decimal or a fraction I will round to the nearest whole number)

Here is a link to the full curses list.

This character is one of my oldest OCs, which I have repurposed to be used in a both of my D&D campaigns. I've been doing some art streams recently, and her original design didn't really do much visual storytelling so I decided to redesign her on stream for fun. She has become quite an important NPC in my current campaign as the barbarian has taken a liking to her and is now trying to romance her, which is going quite well considering Akai is from a very warrior minded society and the barbarian is an unga bunga goliath with an axe.

Akai is a leader, becoming the queen of her nation at a very young age. She left her plane to experience life outside of that for a short while, which was how she came to meet the party. She decided to travel with them since they had helped save her from a predicament she was in and this way she could see more of the world. The new design is a mix of knight and gladiator themes, with the fiery elements being designed around burning stoves and a fire poker.

Hécate was once a poor peasant, caring for her father as he slowly withered from smallpox.

Every morning, she would walk deep into the forest, gathering herbs to ease his fever: roots, leaves, anything that might buy him one more night.

But in the eyes of the villagers, she was not a daughter trying to save her father.

She was something else.

A strange woman.

A solitary figure.

A witch.

They whispered about her “potions.”

They feared what they didn’t understand.

And one night, they burned her home to the ground.

Her father did not survive.

Hécate fled into the forest, with nothing left but grief and silence.

But the forest did not reject her.

It welcomed her.

There, she was found by a coven of witches . women who understood loss, who spoke the quiet language of things that fade and return.

Since then, Hécate has walked a path few dare to follow.

She no longer fears death.

SHe listens to it.

She understands it.

And sometimes…

She speaks with it.

(If anyone’s interested, I do fantasy character commissions)

So a little context. I’m a newer Dm still. Been playing for 4 years and is currently DMing my first campaign (that hasn’t fallen apart to scheduling lol). Everyone at my table I’ve played with before and we’re all friends. I stepped up when our older DM wanted to be a player again. Everything has been going great until we had combat . One of my players who’s been playing for 4 years STILL doesn’t know how to play the game. She mainly came for the roleplay but can’t remember which one of the dice is a d20. I noticed this during our last campaign but it wasn’t so bad . Now it is. She is playing a Cavalier fighter but tries to use the mount like how a ranger uses their beast then gets upset when she can’t use it in that way. Doesn’t know how action surge works noir what dice to roll for her weapon damage. At first I was giving her the benefit of the doubt but we have been playing for 8 sessions now and she still has no idea what she’s doing. I’ve sent her videos, made her flash cards, and explained in person how to do everything but she still doesn’t understand. Now we’re approaching a big fight and I’ve had one of my other players tell that they’re scared that she might get the whole party killed. At this point I’m thinking about sitting her down and telling her if she doesn’t get it together then she can’t come. Is that too much? If so does anyone have recommendations on how I could handle this?

Title. I browse this subreddit a lot, and for someone who plays a lot, I feel like I'm not seeing too many dragons being mentioned in peoples or my own games. Do you guys actually run games where you slay dragons? Also, what are your thoughts on dragons in terms of boss fights? Maybe they're not being run as often because they're not that interesting?

My friend has hosted our bi-weekly D&D game with friends at his house for a few years now. I get to DM and we have a fantastic group of five players. Last year he told us he was going to build us a new table... today I came in to set up for the game and was blown away. It has 5 dedicated player positions, two "guest player" positions on the corners, and the DM section is big enough for four Wyrmwood DM screen panels + my laptop in the center. 55" TV in the center is on a hydraulic vault that also supports two different 52 X 37" terrain boards (shown removed as we are starting with the TV today but will be switching to a Dwarven Forge dungeon later). Every spot is pre-wired with chargers for phones, tablets, and even a power supply for my laptop. The picture does not really do it justice as this table is BIG, and very solid (had to be assembled in the room). The top of the table is Baltic Birch and it even has Wenge trim o_O

I will happily DM from a folding card table but needless to say this is amazing!

... he's still not going to get to level up today though :-)
