Rise of the Immortals: Murder and Intrigue

Torin,

I hope this letter finds you well.  I still await the assistant you had planned to send.  There is much to do here and I obviously cannot handle all of it myself, as the local sheriff looks to our group to assist with matters now.

In fact, just this week the sheriff came to use with a murder investigations.  It was some sort of ritualistic killings, from what I have seen, and there have been multiple deaths.  It all seems to point to some sort of intelligent undead.  We're leaving this day to go to the Misgivings, the old manor belonging to Adrienne Foxglove, a friend of the others and local nobleman.  I hope he is ok.

I am very excited by the trip.  I've never been to the Foxglove manor, and the rumor is that it is haunted.  It lies on the coast down a couple days from Standpoint.  The ride will be a nice change of scenery.

My skills continue to increase with magic.  I have now learned a method for casting while still holding my shield and sword.  I've also learned a new spell to defend me when attacked out of nowhere.  The best combination is though when I charge my hands with lightning and then attack with my sword.  Not only does it effectively subdue our opponents, but it also shows others that oppose us what awaits them should they challenge me.

The team is becoming ever closer and more skilled.  Zolis, the paladin, is always at my side as we charge into trouble, usually with Warryn, the gnome druid, dragging us into trouble.  The Gnome has become a fierce ally with his ability to take the form of a bear and various magics.  He also seems very intelligent and has helped set up this new business.  Zolis and Warryn also look after our health like a couple of mother hens, always tending to our wounds.  It is really nice.  

Rolen is forever at the back of the party, a fitting place for an elf with such a deadly bow.  He kills as many if not more foes than I do with the magic he weaves with his arrows.  I fear sometimes I increase the trouble that befalls us with the eye I have for valuables and artifacts, but, as you have seen, I find very unique items with rare cultural significance, just the kind of things we are looking for.  This group has been a good find during my journeys.  Between the 4 of us, there seems not a single foe we cannot defeat.

Regards,
Llarm Blacksword

Llarm and crew did make it to the Foxglove manor after dealing with some animated scarecrows along the path.  In fact, we searched nearly the entire house, waiting to bust down just the last door as the session ended, only 100 points away from level 5.  Level 5 is a bit of a snooze for Llarm, but very powerful, as he gets his second attack per round.

5E Starting Gold and Equipment for Higher Levels

The DMG has a rough recommendation for starting gold and equipment for higher levels, but with my groups running one-shots, we wanted to nail it down to level by level. Here's my DMG-inspired table. Generally I allow equipment to be traded in during character creation for half book value, where applicable. I also, as a GM, offer to make custom magic items for players who can't choose. A list of magical items by rarity can be found here  with stats available in the DMG. I also generally allow players to buy healing potions (2d4+2) for 50gp and greater healing potions for 250gp (4d4+4). PHB items are available at book cost at creation. I do not allow other equipment to be purchased except in game. This is generally based off the "high magic" campaign. Level Starting Gold Starting Equipment / Magic Items 1 - 160gp  OR Standard starting equipment 2 210gp Standard starting equipment 3 285gp Standard starting equipment 4 365gp Standard sta...

Rules for Flying Creatures in 5E

I'm not one for just throwing my players willy-nilly into something new without an idea of how it would work.  Flying races are on the horizon for one of my games, so here are my clarifications for flying creatures: A flying creatures requires a minimum space of at least 3 times their height in all directions in order to flight. For example, a 6 ft tall flying creature requires a room to be at least 18 ft in all dimensions before they can fly in it. A flying creature can attempt to grapple a creature.  If the the target or grappler are flying, grapple attempts are at disadvantage. If neither are flying, grapples are per RAW.  The state of flying or walking is determined by the last square you have moved.  To change between walking and/or flying, you must use at least 1 space of movement.  Movement rules per RAW apply (PHB pg 190 "Using Different Speeds") A successful grapple check by a flying creature can allow the flying creature to potentially carry th...

Exploiting Weakness in D&D 5e: A Guide for the Evil Plotting GM

I wrote a similar article to this on Pathfinder, and though this is a pretty evil topic, it has been of use to a lot of folks out there.  So, now, I think, is the time to start a similar article for D&D 5e.  This will be a living document to be updated with suggestions and more information as I find better methods. In general, 5e is a lot more challenging for a GM, because the classes are reasonably balanced and because the game mechanics don't have a lot of scale over the 20 levels. Here's a general list of things to increase the difficulty for the party: Increase the number of foes and the CR (ignore the book CR system if it isn't offering a challenge) Spells against the PCs low saves.  A high level sleep spell, for example, could take out a party with no elves. Drag out the opportunity for the long rest.  After 2 short rests, the 3rd battle of the day is tough. Hit the most vulnerable PC first. It almost always forces another teammate to take an acti...
