Dragonlance back in the day made interesting use of the Battlesystem rules and a range of isomorphic maps for the War of the Lance. If they’re likely to be returning to that event/timeframe, I’m curious if a release will be built to include mass combat systems and perhaps even some sort of...
You could do a Saltmarsh-style Spelljammer book that’s a mix of updated adventure, interstitial new elements traveling around, and bits of possibly jamming to other outside adventures.
Apologies for Not Reading The Entire Thread, but a few thoughts from a bit of a DL Grognard (who’s never thought that the post-2000 game has gotten it quite right, as much as Sovereign Press worked at it).
I can understand not having a specific Handling mechanic (it creates an odd thieving mini...
I fondly remember the days of running my older brother’s B/X and 1st Edition adventures in our 2nd Edition campaign (where a number of characters were built straight out of the UA-era Dragonlance Adventures book anyway), at most swapping in a different version of the same monster if I felt like...
Reattaching a limb feels a bit strong to do without other Magic for someone of merely troll bloodline (versus a proper troll), but I could see adding proficiency in Death saves to the ability to spend HD (since hit dice are a limited resource themselves).
As much as folks talk about monsters borrowing from character design, this is a place where I wonder if characters can borrow from monster design. I’ve kicked around the idea of cantrips and other more potent “at will” abilities getting a refresh die like many monster powers. Perhaps different...
What strikes me as the basic reason is the balance between HP and AC, or more broadly the classes’ ability to absorb damage versus resist damage. The monk — between higher natural AC, deflection abilities, and bonus dodge actions — can avoid taking damage without the negative impact (weight...
I’m curious to see how closely the Draconians read, given their reskinning: Baaz/Foot Soldier, Bozak/Dreadnought, Kapak/Infiltrator, Sivak/Mastermind, Aurak/Mage would be my guess here
Reading that change to False Appearance gives me a visceral reaction — Bad WotC! Don’t return to giving us rules bloat and Target DCs! Tell the DM that it looks like a tree and let sneaky descriptions, paranoid players, and “call I roll…?” gut checks continue to rule the day!
I was about to go and track down where Weis had commented on the first book being out next year (no one seems to know where that Amazon date came from), but Morrus did us all a solid by flexing his muscles.
(with the old Dragonlance message boards recently shut down, finding Weis’s recent...
Chances are that Ms. Marvel will come out January 2022, which is as good as Late 2021 anyway amidst all the delays on productions during COVID. Unless there are fewer than six episodes in that series (WandaVision had nine shorter episodes to the six longer episodes of Falcon & the Winter Soldier...
