@Paranoxia @ChrisPerkinsDnDWhat would need to be changed to run the Starter Set adv. for 1player? DMPC or two to help with fights? yeah, I'd go that route. it's the easiest path. balancing for one is very tricky – bigger group absorbs luck

Thinking of allowing Strahd as a warlock patron
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Thinking of allowing Strahd as a lock patron. Any cool way to allow the character to defeat him without losing its class?
— Manny (@techjunkie30) May 7, 2016
You'd be better off choosing the Dark Powers as patrons. https://t.co/YKtWp23VIp

Sooo…you're saying my warlock's patron SHOULDN'T be Miss Snazzlepants the pink sugar unicorn? https://t.co/FD05MG5rbS

I personally find that very scary. https://t.co/pdqAyGs3Po

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I was running into trouble with this because it always felt like the patron's agenda needed to align with the plot, somehow

The patron has made an investment in the warlock. As the warlock gains power, the patron's influence grows. https://t.co/rfk29mewMS

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @Wolfenight I don't know, I'm playing a warlock whose patron is Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. True story.

I ❤️ Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. https://t.co/ZK2xIQgpFf

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Even Fey Patrons? The Fey in my games are assholes, but not really dark.
— BiteyMcChomp (@BiteyMcChomp) May 8, 2016
Fey can have a really dark edge to them. Immortality does weird things to one's perspective. https://t.co/LynMTve2vz

How do you deal with a fighter who sneaks up to a guard and attacks the guard?
@JeremyECrawford and questsion 2: How do you deal with a fighter (not a rogue) who sneaks up to a guard and.. ' attacks the guard' ?
— Thijs (@West_Thijs_23) May 4, 2016
I follow the steps in the combat rules (PH, 189): check for surprise, set positions, roll initiative & so on. #DnD https://t.co/CAnDZTAALv

Do PCs need to take a long rest before leveling up?
@JeremyECrawford do PCs need to take a long rest before leveling up? I've assumed that but I haven't seen anything in the book about it.
— Al Houghton (@HoughtonAl) April 28, 2016
As DM, I time the acquisition of levels to take place when the characters have a chance to rest and take stock. #DnD https://t.co/ab1SkVHisZ

Do you count summoned creatures to calculate the CR difficult?
@valtonwhen creating an encounter with creatures that can summon + creatures, do you count the extra ones to calculate the difficult? I believe the ability to summon is accounted for in the summoner's CR
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) May 1, 2016
@valton I believe so – don't have rules with me. But now that I think if it, try asking so players do not receive xp for summoned creatures defeated also?@JeremyECrawford

Should I do a new card reading at the start of every Curse of Strahd session?
@JeremyECrawford should I do a new card reading at the start of every CoS session or is that too chaotic? @WotC_DnD @ChrisPerkinsDnD
— Chris Jernigan (@JerniganC) June 4, 2016
Too chaotic, IMO, but @JamesIntrocaso has players draw cards on a nat 20 or 1, with effects based on the card drawn. https://t.co/L9zMiTe9g7

Is Wild shaped Druid considered a beast for the purposes of a dryad’s charm ability?
@JeremyECrawford If a druid wildshapes, are they considered a beast for the purposes of a dryad's charm ability?
— Timothy Munro (@Lynks9) May 18, 2016
If a game effect says you're now a beast, there's no chicanery; you're a beast. #DnD https://t.co/E9FvY0sAi2

Is the extra 1d8 damage from the Ranger’s Colossus Slayer mandatory?
@JeremyECrawford Is the extra 1d8 damage from the Ranger's Colossus Slayer mandatory if the conditions are met? (For example, friendly fire)
— Kooper Koushiro (@KooperKoushiro) April 28, 2016
You choose whether to deal the extra damage of Colossus Slayer. #DnD https://t.co/ywjZaDQfmh
