    D&D 5E Paladin, How Are You Righteous?

    I personally like the Sentinel (the NG variant)[source: Drg 310]. At least according to Dragon Magazine(312), the 3e CE variant was called the Anti-Paladin.

    D&D General Hilarious typos in D&D books

    [Dice] What's this die?

    It is the "Fist of Emirikol" magic item http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/iw/20030713b And here is the chart it was shipped with (for use at the table without opening a browser): www.wizards.com/dnd/files/FistofEmirikol.zip But of course you also could use it as a prop for other...

    D&D 5E When Fiends Attack: Are Balors, Pit Fiends and Ultraloths too weak?

    I would expect a Balor to play "The floor is Lava" with the PCs (or something on that level) if it is meant to be the B3 (Big Bad Boss)

    D&D 5E Whatever "lore" is, it isn't "rules."

    I see cannon as snapshot in time of the in-game lore the PCs could find, be it by reading consulting with sages or barhopping. It may not be truth yesterday or the day after. Also while the validity is not assured, it is what the NPCs believe to the the truth. By taking this view (and I do...

    Fate Questions

    NPC concession do add up up the corresponding Fate points to the DM pool for the next significant scene (fate core p82) Oh, and it is complete up to taste, but I personally would let NPC get captured (when conceding) And if the PC decide to kill them anyway... Well, we will be having their...

    Can a lich create a new phylactery?

    In FR, it is possible to split the phylactery into multiple pieces using an epic spell. (Champions of Ruin, p37 "Aumvor's fragmented phylactery"). Even more it can be cast repeatedly, increasing the number each time. So I would say, at least for that setting, there is a precedent that multiple...

    D&D 5E RE: Tarasque vs. 5th lv. Wizard scenario - how does Wizard know to use Acid Splash?!?

    First, you do not hunt down the Tarasque,the Tarasque hunts you! It is also a big ham and (literately) likes to chew up scenery. By the time it succumbs the surrounding area will be devastated making in a Pyrrhic victory at best. Two, being a large predator I would not find it unreasonable...

    D&D 5E 5th Edition and The Rules

    Actually there are plenty of things in 2e that can be attempted without training. Too bad the rules were spread out all over the place. DMG has hear noise rules for example. Fire starting proficiency mentions that it addressed extreme conditions- that is anyone can start a fire in reasonable...

    System for Hunter X Hunter?

    I will recommed BESM 2e or you can go with the free Tri-stat dX variant http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/368/TriStat-dX-Core-System-RolePlaying-Game?it=1 The difference between the two is that the BESM is specifically d6 based and focused on the advice for anime. dX is more generic and its...

    Do alignments improve the gaming experience?

    I do not thing Law and Good have to be mutually exclusive. In the case of the man stealing to feed his family: find him a job, then garnish some of his pay as compensation to the baker. After all one of the goals of Law (as I see it) is to prevent re-offending. And I think even fantasy churches...

    AD&D 2nd Edition Players & Fans Unite!

    2e is my favorite edition. I like the sentiment that the rules are "only guidelines" and the sense of encouragement to make the game your own ("Add, create, expand, extrapolate"). I know that this can be controversial topic, but personally I enjoyed the opacity of rules. By that I mean that...

    I have a pal who wants a Construct Animal Companion.

    Several of those are actually from 3.X era 3rd party books. In particular Advanced Bestiary by Green Ronin (2005). In the end the DM has to decide what they want to use, and having more options to choose from may be beneficial. Also IME the gaming police is not going to come get you if you...
