    D&D versus social anxiety disorder (updated 8/20/14)

    Geez I got something in my eye. It's dust or something I swear.:o Seriously though I did get misty. That's a really amazing story and I am glad roleplaying was able to help her and congratulations on getting married! Now if you will excuse me I need to find a tissue…for the dust in my eye…or...

    D&D 5E Weak Saving Throws

    To me the question of save disparity hinges on two things: 1. Are NPCs being built like PCs. 2. What is the spread of saves the PCs will have to face from the 5th ed bestiary? Based on the current information I have available and doing some extrapolating from the play test (subject to the...

    D&D 5E Weak Saving Throws

    What material presents the possibility of building NPCs at all? Has anyone at WoTC said they were going to build NPCs like PCs? The NPC Spellcasters in the last play test packet did not actually follow all of the rules of PC Spellcasters as far as I can tell, just like all of the bestiary...

    D&D 5E New D&D Next Playtest package is up (19/9/2013) [merged threads]

    I actually agree. Great Weapon Master Feat, imo, is broken. However, without any feats, just stat bumps, an 11th level warrior with a non-magical great axe hitting an AC 15 beastie, is sitting at 38.5 or so dpr. On action surges he novas at 70.05. This is compares very favorably to anything...

    D&D 5E New D&D Next Playtest package is up (19/9/2013) [merged threads]

    You didn't use Great Weapon Master Properly. With bonus damage, the iterative attacks from critting, and the damage on a miss from great weapon fighting style, a mono-classed Fighter warrior of 11th level is doing 63.86 dpr versus AC 15. The example of the super multi-classed half-orc is doing...

    D&D 5E Warlord as a Fighter option; Assassin as a Rogue option

    EN World seems to be peopled by only the most verbose posters in the rpg community. I feel like I'm taking a 400 level course in school I wasn't aware of reading through some of these posts. :D

    D&D 5E And now for the flip-side

    My sincerest hope is that Next will not only unite all of the disparate groups of DnD players into one writhing pile of happy role-players but that it will also bring about world peace. Or just that it's good. Whichever comes first.

    D&D 5E Poll: What is a Level 1 PC?

    Sums it up nicely for me. One of my PCs one time wanted to look like mick jagger and the villagers thought he was a lich. It didn't end well...

    D&D 5E New take on why expertise dice is a bad mecanic

    Doesn't hurricane strike knock an enemy across a room? And then your expertise dice refresh! I love the expertise dice mechanic and think the monk only maneuvers have shown what more can be done with it than the fighter's relatively straightforward maneuvers. I like the ease and fluidity of...

    D&D 5E Have you moved on yet? Has Wizard's handled this properly?

    Quite the opposite here. I've had more arguments and disagreements in the previous editions I have played of DnD (2nd-4th) then thus far in Next. Granted I've only played a couple of games of Next at this point but am running one weekly campaign and playing in one tri-weekly campaign. So far...

    D&D 5E Maybe I'm just tired?

    I like what I'm seeing from Next and play testing has been a blast. I don't have any fears in regards to Next thus far though I am, for some reason, terrified of cicadas and living crabs. But what I am a somewhat disapprobated by is the devs saying that their goal is to appeal to everyone...

    D&D 5E I like 5th Edition! The D&D Next Positivity Thread

    MortalPlague: heh. It's funny because Im in my mid-30s so I feel like I'm not quite to silverback grognard yet but I'n no longer a proto or pupating grognard. I've played since 2nd and went through to 4th but life intervened so I haven't played in a couple years. We've just started...
