    D&D 5E Why Don't We Simplify 5e?

    If I wanted to simplify 5e to introduce it to new players, I'd be inspired by the Basic (from BECMI) approach and to the following: Fewer classes, probably only Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard Each Fighter is a Champion, Clerics are Clerics of Light or maybe Light, Rogue are Thieves, Wizards are...

    D&D 5E Dragon themes

    I love the Xenomorph-like Dragon

    D&D 5E WotC will not allow translation of D&D NEXT.

    Sadly, as Fabio Andrea Rossi recounted, here in Italy the market for english-written books (or, for the same account, any non-italian book) is quite a niche. What makes things sadder, is that RPG market is a niche, and as we all know a niche of a niche results in...nothing gets ported nor...

    D&D 5E Mage Armor: A (nearly) must have?

    I'm going to play a Wizard (Diviner) after the summer. As I see it, mage armor is useful when you expect to be bashed ALOT in the next hours; on the other hand, for the offchance attack shield wins the competition, more so if you take into account the Arcane Recovery feature (and if you're an...

    D&D 5E Statting your favorite literary characters

    Actually 5E does support them (altough it would break bounded accuracy, you can extrapolate the bonuses), and you can have scores in the 100s...with A LOT of magic Tomes ;)

    D&D 5E Magic item and identifying

    Moreover, correct me if I'm wrong but the Identify spell gives also info on curses on the item, while the short rest does not (or possibly has the PC endure fully the curse).

    D&D 5E Just About Sick Of Darkvision.

    Wouldn't have expected any other answer [emoji6]

    Rodney Thompson Leaves Wizards of the Coast

    Well, good luck to him for whatever endeavor he will be involved into, and many thanks for having co-created the wonderful 5E ;-)

    New PATHFINDER Minis: Gnome, Eidolon, Dragon

    Actually it looks to me like an hind and a fore leg, both on the right side, with the left fore leg raised and ready to strike, and the left hind leg hidden behind the right one. I'm sadly not into miniatures due to space costraints, but they look quite nice though...

    D&D 5E (Fantasy) Sports?

    Thank you all for the inputs! I'll read the links and grab some ideas...

    D&D 5E (Fantasy) Sports?

    Hi all! Has any of you developed some rules for including sports in your setting? Beside the obvious fluff (like "orc head polo") I mean ;)

    D&D 5E Rules a character "pass a Weapon" to another

    I don't have the current rules with me, but shouldn't everyone declare his actions at the start of the round, with the initiative ruling the order in which they happen? As for passing items, the interaction is not between the PCs and the object, but between the two PCs, it's a matter of relative...

    D&D 5E Mage armor and A shield

    I'd allow it: it's not that broken, and it also makes sense (the PC dons an armor made of magic and uses a shield). The 20 AC at 3rd level is pretty specific also, since it presumes an unmodified 18 DEX from the start.

    D&D 5E Followup on "Everyone Starts at First Level"

    Yes, it is a very specific scenario (and was conceived reading about the whole "squad going to fire the trebuchets"). I disagree instead on the "the DM is actually telling people what to do": if the commander is a rookie in regard to actual combat, that doesn't mean he hasn't studied what to...

    D&D 5E Followup on "Everyone Starts at First Level"

    Also, as a different take on the 1st level PC: why is he always portrayed as the sidekick? The literature sports plenty of "green" commanders (the first that springs to my mind is the Gan Orrin, fro The Legend Of The Drenai). He could become attached to the party because they are after all an...

    D&D 5E Followup on "Everyone Starts at First Level"

    Sure! But how many 5th-tailored fights has to endure to level up to 2nd level? And then to 3rd? [emoji6]
