As Hemlock said if you and your group like having anyone be able to use a spell scroll, then just make a house rule and keep your way of doing it. If you guys aren't playing in the "official" games it won't hurt anything. You could keep the advantage of having a character of the scroll's class...

I agree with you. My use of the term "perfectly normal" was to say that not clearly being one gender or another is not an "abomination of nature" or any other such non-sense.

One other comparison I just thought of is the word "gender". This is probably the best comparison to the real world we can make with the term "race" in D&D. There are indeed differences between the two genders. There are even perfectly normal cases (even though society doesn't treat these...

As others have pointed out there truly are different "races" of humanoids in D&D as opposed to the real world. Due to this there are indeed differences between these intelligent humanoids that are classified in some way. However just because these differences are classified doesn't mean the...

Thanks for the speedy reply, Morrus. I looked at the comments list under the article on the main EN5ider Patron page, but didn't actually click the link for the article page to see that there were more comments. I get a D- for effort. You're right it was re-named to Droplets of Invigoration...

I was just looking over the Strands of Life article for EN5ider again and I noticed that there is a new spell called Spheres of Recovery listed under the cleric section, but there doesn't appear to a description for this spell showing what it does. Did I miss something or has this been fixed...

This is a great idea. Not something I could do with my coworkers, but definitely a fun way to introduce D&D to a group of people who would normally never play it.

Stuff like this seems perfect for EN5ider. Plug and play scenarios, locations, secret organizations, adventure outlines, etc. Anything inspirational and that can help with preparation. Building blocks if you will. I'm already loving what I have seen so far from EN5ider, but stuff like this...

Yep I totally agree. I am currently at work and have absolutely nothing planned for my game tonight. With this edition I am having a real hard time coming up with a decent campaign and I could really use some adventures to build off of. Tonight's game kinda got set up on short notice, so I...

I completely skipped 4E. I have seen the D&D team say that a large release schedule was bad for 3E and 4E. I really liked the books for 3E. My only complaint with them was they typically contained prestige classes and feats. That got a little monotonous. However I still liked the books. If...

I personally like dealing with this through role playing and how the NPCs treat the PC. If they walk down the street casting spells left and right, then an angry mob is burning them as an abomination not to far off in the future. I mean even if you limit cantrips will your NPCs be ok with...

Yeah I have no desire to play with random people at my gaming store. However, access to extra adventures would be great. Didn't the D&D website have free adventures for download during 3E? They need something like that. I'd pay a monthly fee for online content.

Theoretically you can just rename all the races in the PHB. Or at least a handful of races. Issues of game balance really only matter when you want to take stuff from your game to another game. I mean yes you can break stuff at your table, but if it is broken for everyone it doesn't really...

Yeah that looks incredible, but you really can get a nice looking dungeon on the table the DM Scotty way. I'm going to have to enlist my gaming group to start making dungeon props. If you don't have money to spend on precast dungeon pieces, bust out the cardboard and hot glue.

A few months ago I started binge watching the DM's Craft videos. DM Scotty is awesome. I hope his gaming group realizes how lucky they are. His tips and techniques are cheap and easy. He works magic with toilet paper tubes and hot glue. Above all he shows that with just a little bit of time...
