I had an idea to teach some middle school/high school kids in town about D&D specifically and RPGs in general. Are there any good resources out there for helping with that? I've googled and found a smattering of one-off threads and videos about it, but nothing terribly in-depth. I've been out...

On Saturday I ran a 5 hour session of Hoard of the Dragon Queen. The session writeup is here: http://npf.io/tod/adventure-log/2014/09/06/session1/ My first thought after looking back is - wow, combat is fast! We had seven players and managed to do 6 combats in a little under 4 hours of play...

I've been playing D&D for 25 years, and have played every edition, but I'm out of touch with 5E - haven't kept up with news and forums since the very beginning of the playtest. Now I need to DM Hoard of the Dragon Queen this coming Saturday. Obviously I have the PHB and have been trying to...

Anyone have an HTML version of the 5E character sheet? I don't need to be able to edit it in the page or anything fancy, just a static page for display on a campaign website.

One of the annoying things about 3e is how huge every room and hallway is, because of 5' facing. Most places have 10' corridors... that's wide enough to drive a wagon down! Do you think this will be/can be addressed in 4e? I know that typical 4' hallways don't make for very exciting...

My DM just implemented this method, and I really love the way it worked out - Roll 4d6 drop the lowest 8 times. Choose 6 of the stats, the final point buy value of those stats must be between x and y total points. Stats under 8 are worth their value minus 8 (negative points value). It seems...

So, a friend's starting a new campaign, and I decided that as what will probably be my last 3.5 character, I should play the one class I've never played in 3.x - a rogue. I'm making up a Whisper Gnome (yes the race is really good... let's not debate that now... it's stay as it is in the book)...

Can someone explain to me how saga skills work and how that's likely to translate to 4e? I don't have Saga, and don't really want to buy it just to get a 4e preview.

One of the things mentioned was how the XP system will work. There's no more CR system, instead monsters will have levels and a set XP value. I think this is very interesting, it's pretty much like 2nd edition and before, where the complexity of the XP system is integrated into the XP chart...

Please look at the Martial Bard here: http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3334709&postcount=2 A friend of mine is playing this in one of our campaigns, and it seems terribly overpowered. This may be bias since I'm playing a crusader and another friend is a warblade, but man - the martial...

Anyone know of any tower shield feats available? Something to reduce the penalty to hit or something else interesting? Shield ward from PHBII is especially nice with a tower shield (and my DM's letting me take shield spec with tower shield). -Nate

Really, the thread subject says it all. I was surfing around and was somehow reminded of the Nimblewright... I totally forgot about that thing! It's a 3e MMII intelligent construct that wields dual rapiers and can cast haste and disguise self at will (and some other jazz). Combine that with...

I have a character I want to get Elusive Target, but dodge and mobility aren't the greatest of feats. I know there was recently a thread on dodge alternatives, so if anyone has a link to that, it would be much appreciated. Also, are there alternatives to mobility in the same vein of "you can...

I am starting a level 1 human crusader with a single flaw (yes, it's shaky). That's three feats I get to take. I want to be a sword and board, defensive style guy, protecting the other players in the party, etc. Extra granted maneuver seems like a must... it adds 50% more options in the...

Thrown weapons are down there underneath crossbows and the whip as far as underused and underpowered combat tactics that you really wish were more viable. I was reminded of this when the barbarian of our party decided that the throwing axes he put on his sheet were actually there for combat and...

This is a PrC I came up with while thinking of a way to make sword and board viable for straight fighter types. It uses as its basis several PHB II feats. It gives improved two weapon fighting abilities, but two levels after you get each iterative attacks, and they only apply if you're using a...

Are there any PrCs out there that make sword and board worthwhile? I'd love to see something that gives fighters a reason to use a shield. Anything out there? There's a bunch of feats that try to help the sword & board guy, but it ends up being hugely feat intensive, which means you're just...

Ok, so leadership doesn't really having anything to do with power attack. And in fact, this thread has almost nothing to do with rules at all, except that most people will realize what the feat Leadership does and what it can potentially mean to a character. My character (fightery type)...

Please let me know what you think Legendary Commander Hit Die: d8 Requirements To qualify to become a Legendary Commander, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria - Skills: Diplomacy or Intimidate: 9 ranks Feats: Combat Expertise, Skill Focus: Diplomacy or Intimidate...

So, I have a character who I've been playing for a while who I would like to rebuild with a new class or classes that better represent his current outlook. He's become lawful good and is now the captain of the guard of a medium sized city. He's currently 10th level...
