Okay, I'm running a Pathfinder game and things have been going mostly well. We just had our 19th game session last night and we've been actively playing since Jan (started planning in Dec).. The big problem that I have is that one of the players has taken their Summoner Class character...

With the look at the new suggested rule for familiar, it again looks like we are going to get a blase version of the rules. If anything, the familiar rules most resembles Vaarsuvius' Ravenfrom the Order of the Stick. It's Poke-Familiar! Two ideas from other systems for familiars might do more...

Just sitting down now to listen to DnD Podcast. It is supposed to have Mike Mearles and Jeremy Crawford talking on the DnD Next Playtest. Then a discussion on Lords of Waterdeep. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (D&D Podcast)

I was thinking of how the MM for 5e could be designed better. The last several generations of Monster Manuals or Bestiaries have been mostly Encyclopedias of weird creatures with stat blocks. There is some fluff text (which decreased in 4e) and hopefully a bit of tactical advice and usage...

What I am thinking on is how 4e powers tend to be combat focused. They have the separate category of Utility Powers and Rituals for non-combat. This simplifies the powers but limits most of the game play and application for the character's powers to encounter situations. I was thinking that...

One of the things that comes up in 4e and to a lesser extent in other editions is the effect of certain effects or conditions on a single target or Solo monster. A hold monster spell that gets through on a group of monsters only stops a single monster from attacking. The same spell on a single...
