Correct! The book even distinctly states that the set encounters in the back of chapter 2 aren't supposed to be used until after chapter 3 has been completed. I mean... I guess you can try to let your characters run threw the Sunblade encounter at level 3-4 or whatever, but they're unlikely to...

I think you vastly over-value Hex. The range requirement leash is fairly prohibitive in practice, especially with a DM who is aware of it and takes advantage. You should also really think about adding Counterspell to your magical secret recommendations. It's one of the best spells a Bard can...

First time DM here: I just finished fully reading through Out of the Abyss and am really excited to run it for my players this week. After having played Hoard of the Dragon Queen, Rise of Tiamat, and Princes of the Apocalypse, my first impression is that this is a much better campaign than the...

I think you bring up a great point. Oath of Ancient Paladins CAN be a militant spiritual nature guardian, but their oath does not mandate it. When I read the Ancient Oaths I think of Rand al'Thor towards the end of the Wheel of Time series... (Wheel of Time Spoilers following) It may be hard...

Episode 1 took 3 sessions for our group, but we cleared Episode 2 in under 2 hours. We took a social route and were able to spring the Monk, all the Prisoners, and escape with pretty much no combat, including the two cultist groups leading up to the camp. It was also one of our favorite nights...

Totally agree! I doubt the release will sneak up on us without some kind of heads up from the Dungeonscape team, I was just trying to provide a bit of hope that it could happen sooner rather than later. I'd be somewhat surprised if October comes without the release. Though, if theres unforeseen...

Since it's already been submitted to Apple for review, theres a possibility the app could pop up as soon as this Wednesday or the next one (Wednesdays are the day when most apps release in the iOS App Store) unless for some reason it receives special attention from Apple and they decide to set...

Can't it just as easily be argued that the shove bonus action MUST happen before the actual attack takes place if the player chooses to use it's bonus action? One could say that initiating the attack action TRIGGERS the bonus action as an interrupt before the actual attack resolves based off of...

Kind of surprised your DM let that party come together.

I seriously regret not thinking of this when I was still in the Marines... I hope it goes well for you guys :)

That is easily the worse cover I have ever seen for a D&D book...

The GSL is a lie?

If your players are abusing their healing surges, there are ways to take advantage of the situation and make them wish they hadnt. Just be creative :)

Someone had just posted about some information released on WotCs website that showed a Psionic Figure with a Mindblade with the abilities of a Defender. Curious... Edit: Thread - http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=221540
