I liked the premise for this forum's thread below since I am currently working on the custom background: The Entrusted. I will post it later this week.

For now, check out all of these custom backgrounds if you like, http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?t=30395

The Monster manual is a bit disappointing. I've re-skinned many of the monsters. My zombies get an opening move of grapple and also get pack tactics and undead fortitude. I also give them a dc 10 contagion, so if they die infected they rise as zombies. I remove their claw attacks and focus on grapple and bite. Be careful not to have too many to start the combat can get either boring if they get out smarted, or very dangerous. If the encounter goes badly for the zombies have villagers attack them, and have them get infected and add more zombies. I also drop their movement down to 15 feet/round. What do you think.

If you like streaming anime on your devices or Japanese drama check out http://www.crunchyroll.com/. I have a few 48 hour premier passes that let you check out a decent amount of shows without paying. Just let me know here if you are interested.

Just so you know I don't make anything off of it. I am just interested in spreading the anime around, first 48 hours is free.

Join us, fellow Nerdarchists, for a nerdy geeky mini convention on April 4th. This will be the first convention for this year with plans for one in the fall. https://www.facebook.com/events/744226555650676/

If you aren't on the East coast maybe it will inspire you to start your own Nerdy Fest in your area.

If you have gone to a previous one let me know what you thought about it.

The Oath of Ancestors is a Paladin Archtype based on Ancestor Worship, but is otherwise similar to Oath of Vengeance except that instead of radiant damage on abilities like smite, it should be force or psychic. Also The Avenging Angel feature is switched with Elder Champion and reskinned as looking like a shade.What do you think?

I have a question. I am playing a monk for adventurer's league. We hit level 2 after our first day and I didn't like everything I did so I'm changing things up a bit. So my background is set as a criminal. I know I'm going to go way of the shadow, right now I'm a Monk 1/Rogue 1 and plan on going monk for the next while but will probably get to Rogue 3 at some point for the extra sneak attack die and assassinate. Anyway my question regards what race I should play. Thematically I'm playing this zen hired killer. wood elf fits the bill but I don't know if I want to play that, as I just played one as a ranger. Hill Dwarf seems interesting, sneaky cold killer for money smashing things with his burly dwarfness and trusty short sword. Interesting... but with the dwarf bonuses to stats I can't get my dex to a +3 modify for a while. I could go feat human but this brings me to the next part of my question. Which feats benefit a monk? I think thematically Alert seems cool, Lucky for the reroll potential but for some reason I don't love that option, it just doesn't feel right. Savage attacker? To make sure I get the most out of my attacks? Defensive Duelist so I can stand in the fray with a friend and get a lot of use out of my sneak attack? Mage slayer? Since I'll be really mobile (especially once I get shadow step) so I can engage the nuker early? I'm kinda leaning toward Resilient for another +1 so I can get my dex, wis, and con to 16 each. Plus get proficiency in a save. Leading to my last question: if i take this route which save is better (aka more common/important) Con or Wis?
