Something new this time, a new Paladin Oath. The group I am running through Hoard of the Dragon Queen made it to 3rd level, and the Paladin in the group (a tiefling – awesome) selected an Oath. I hadn’t really looked at the Oaths, but was a little disappointed that there are only three. You […]
Theater Out of My Mind in 5e
So after two episodes of Hoard of the Dragon Queen, we come to the dungeon crawl. No more spoilers than that – I hope. It’s a fairly straightforward explore/objective mission with one big difference for me – maps. I am lucky enough to have a set of the original Dungeon Tiles (and additional tiles coming […]
Cleric Domains – 5e – Jedi
Yes, Jedi. I was inspired by the teaser trailer. And yes, this one is just for fun (although it’s pretty much stated out like a regular domain – I mean as much as any of these are stated out like a regular domain). I used a lot of references to the D20 Saga and the […]
Cleric Domains – 5e – Water
I have some time while visiting family for Thanksgiving, so nothing better than some time creating! I needed a break from creating PCs for an upcoming Supers game (using Savage Worlds) and was inspired by all the talk about the new 5e DMG release tomorrow. Looking at the d20SRD.org, I decided to rework the Water […]
Cleric Domains – 5e – Strength
On a business trip this week, so had a little time to work on another Cleric domain. This time it’s Strength. I was looking at it on the D20 SRD and started to think of the various spells from the 5e PHB. Was floundering a bit on what direction to go until I saw a […]
Cleric Domains – 5e – Animal
Sometimes the ideas for new Cleric Domains fall right from the sky onto the page. Sometimes not. This was a not. The Plant domain seemed easy compared to this one, and still not sure why. I used it as a basic template and that was helpful. Honestly the spells went really quickly with the only […]
Celric Domain – 5e – Plant
Each time I create one of these domains, some part is harder than the others. Sometimes it’s the list of spells. Sometimes it’s one of the abilities. In this case there were two. The first difficulty is that there was a similar domain already in the PHB. It encompasses more elements than the Plant Domain […]
Cleric Domains – 5e – Magic
First off, sorry for the delay, off on a business trip. It was a software “conference” at the Swan and Dolphin at Disney World – pretty nice. I have the next Cleric Domain, Magic. This was fun because there is such a variety of spells compared to the Cleric. I settled on a spell list […]
Cleric Domains – 5e – Fire
What PC doesn’t love fire. So many destructive spells and other possibilities, it can actually be hard to choose. The one glaring omission is Fireball. I didn’t want to take away one of the iconic spells for wizard/sorcerer. After that the one issue I had was the elemental power. I don’t have a Monster Manual […]
Cleric Domains – 5e – Protection
I know what you’re thinking (OK, not really – that’s a different domain), this one sounds easy. And you’re right it was easy – at first. Two things made this one difficult. First, it was trying to come up with the abilities after first level. There are so many different ways to interpret what Protection […]
