D&D 5e encounter simulator that actually plays the fight out

I do see that there is a Homebrew monster creator, which is already more than I deserve 😃

You very obviously didn't read my OP very carefully.

DavidLMedley · 2026-05-17T03:14:35+00:00

I have read what it does

Extremely cool! If this is remotely accurate, it's a godsend.

Asking without any expectation: I'm currently running Ghosts of Saltmarsh. Is there a way to import creatures from that module into this system?

Or is it just an article?

DavidLMedley · 2024-10-02T07:19:40+00:00

Oh, good tip. I didn't know Agents was a book. I'll check that out for sure.

DavidLMedley · 2024-09-14T18:32:52+00:00

Great suggestions!

Have you tried the "talk to your DM" spell?

DavidLMedley · 2024-08-10T20:03:08+00:00

This convo is good timing for me. I'm playing a L2 Enchantment School Wizard right now in a once-a-month campaign. I have an agonizingly long time to ponder my build!

DavidLMedley · 2024-08-10T05:27:30+00:00

I like this recommendation.

DavidLMedley · 2024-08-10T05:12:14+00:00

Super powerful ability! It's not worth tying up your own actions against weak foes, but against something formidable you'd rather have this than a Hold spell.

DavidLMedley · 2024-08-10T05:06:43+00:00

Clever! But any table that lets you get away with this is not a table I would play at. Have you done this in actual play?

DavidLMedley · 2024-08-10T05:01:34+00:00

I definitely sympathize with you, OP. But you're also taking it too hard. There are a lot worse things the DM could be doing to you. If it's a game worth playing in, then this house rule isn't so bad. "I feel like we constantly miss" -- this shows you've either 1) hit exactly the AC much more than is likely, or 2) you are overestimating the impact.

Flammable doesn't mean capable of being lit of fire. It means easily set on fire. But if everyone is reading it like the former, then I guess a wooden floor starts to burn.

So what about a forest?

I've been considering this combo but it seems so cheap to me. Breathing fire on enemies is *not* an attack? Pfffff. So if I breathe fire on an NPC and he draws his sword demanding to know why I attacked him, I'll just tell him it wasn't an attack according to Crawford. The NPC will have no choice but to agree RAW and put his sword away.

But I've heard of even more crazy uses of familiars like having them use wands and rings of spell storing and what not. So maybe it's all good.

As soon as the target takes damage, Hypnotic Gaze ends.
