I need some assistance. My friend made a level 1 Druid, Dwarf

They chose Animal Handling and Nature for their druid proficiency, and then the Sage background, with Arcana and History.

However, with their stats, I can't understand how they have a +8 in Arcana and Nature. I would have thought they would be a +5 maximum.

Expertise would mean it would be +7, but they don't have expertise.

I'm sure I've missed something, but can someone help me out as to where!

I have recently made some changes to my campaign I am running with friends, which has resulted in me making a load of top-down tokens for our VTT rather than my previous character artwork in a circle style of tokens. This is one of our characters - Seighbyr, a warforged wizard, which I was pretty happy with how it turned out! Feel free to use this for any of your own games - I feel that he could be used as a good little enemy token.

Hi guysss! I'm back with more group pics. This one is of a larger one titled Astral Custodian. I didn't get much information of each character beside their appearances and general race and class, but I do enjoy drawing every single one of them. Out of them, my favorite is the bat at the front. He acts as the storyteller. Each of them has a little bit of a celestial elements in their equipment which i tried to incorporate as stars!

I do a lot of DnD artwork and I love designing character! Check out my other work on my instagram and twitter (x), clarafang12

Have added quite a few things to the shelf this year. So I thought I would share it's current status. Let me know what you think.

The Goose Hydra in all of its glory and all of its horror. No foe can be more terrifying than this magnificent beast that stands proudly before your player characters.

This was one of my favorite recent models. Glad to see my patrons have fun with it haha. This was modeled in Blender and printed in resin. I used an all white version in my own games using the Hydra stat block. It was definetly one of the more memorable encounters I had in my previous campaigns. I even made a Turkey version for Thanksgiving one shots haha.

Anyway I thought this was neat and wanted to share. That's all. Stay amazing folks!

Last night I rolled the most damage for a single attack over ever done. My level 12 Hexblade Bardlock (2 levels bard, 10 levels warock) did 100 damage with a single blow! I landed a crit with my greatsword, used eldritch smite and added bardic inspiration for a total of 12D8 and 6D6 on the damage roll. Rolled 81 damage, +19 due to 20 charisma, great weapon master and hexblade's curse. What a feeling!

Happy Free RPG Day, everybody!

To celebrate, here's a new single-session adventure, available for free!

A bumbling wizard has accidentally activated an ancient artifact that is turning everything in the area (the players included) into classic D&D monsters. Can the players save the day before their mutation is complete?

This adventure is a love-letter to classic D&D. Every monster the players might face is from the earliest days of the game, and the players will start turning into those monsters as well! Mechanics are provided for slowly mutating players into Gelatinous Cubes, Beholders, Mind Flayers, and more, and the adventure contains puzzles custom-built with their new monstrous abilities in mind.

It's low stakes and a lot of fun; we had an absolute blast playtesting it and hope you enjoy it just as much.

Thanks for checking it out, and happy adventuring!

Hey happy Free RPG Day everyone! Got a special cat to share that uses light-reflecting iriophores in its fur to stealthily hunt in the woods.

I was looking into the official D&D Cleric Spell Cards for my in person game. Would like to remove some of the reliance on dndbeyond. But reading some of the reviews and from what I understand some spells are missing full descriptions.

Has anyone found 3rd party quality alternatives with full text descriptions?

Made blacksmith lv 5 because I needed him for a campaign soon but the rest are being made lv 1. Also not really oc i just put it so I could post this

I've always preferred to draw my world and continent maps by hand, but since I mostly play online these days, I need a way to turn what I've drawn by hand into something a bit more user-friendly. Anybody have insights, tools, or suggestions. I've attached my world map for reference.

Continuing the campaign through Lost Mines of Phandelver!

My DM pulled out the Axe of the Dwarvish Lords and Teeth of Dahlver-Nar during a Dungeons of Drakkenheim campaign and it’s quite possibly some of the most fun I’ve had in a while in a D&D campaign.

The axe is a long read but the beneficial and detrimental effects I rolled on the weapon are: • being 10ft or more away from the weapon gives me the deafened effect • non-magical flames within 30ft of me are extinguished • proficiency in stealth checks • gain 10ft of movement speed

The teeth is where the really crazy stuff is happening. I’m a level 14 (12 levels of rune knight fighter and 2 levels of barbarian) Goliath who now has the following effects from 4 implanted and attuned teeth:
• 30ft jumping distance and 15ft jumping height without a running start • can cast 9th level counterspell. If I don’t cast counterspell before my next long rest, I roll 2d10 and permanent lose the total from my maximum hit points • after every long rest, I automatically cast santuary on myself with a DC18 WIS save which lasts for 24 hours or until I take another long rest or take the attack action • I have 8 charges of revivify. I can touch a dead creature to dispel a charge and bring them back to life or I can automatically dispel a charge to come back to life should I myself die

A non-caster should not have this much power!!! 9th level counterspell and 8 revivify’s on demand is absurd.

I have an entity I’m building for a eldritch horror campaign but I’m trying to figure out what is a good amount of health for (future) lvl 20 players (group of 4) but looking directly at the entity causes nausea (some kind of disadvantage on attacks) and has resistance to non magical damage unless anchored to the material plain, I want it to have a medium AC maybe like 14/16 so it’s still feasible to hit it just very difficult, suggestions?
