    D&D 5E D&D Promises to Make the Game More Queer

    No Worries. To me, motherhood is one of her greatest qualities. Slaying the Witch King is a moment. Raising children is a lifetime. I should of been more specific. I don't own CoS. I guess gay vampires are the thing. If I felt like arguing I would probably go on about vampires being asexual...

    D&D 5E D&D Promises to Make the Game More Queer

    Thanks. You left off Mother when you quoted me. We can agree then the Crawford is no Tolkien. Your pop quiz is egregious. You and I are too far apart on this. Tchus. When Crawford publishes the module with the gay villain then I will raise a toast. Until then, the only acceptable...

    D&D 5E D&D Promises to Make the Game More Queer

    Tolkien wrote: The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision. That is why I have not put in, or have cut out, practically all references to anything like 'religion', to cults or practices, in the...

    D&D 5E How often have you played D&D 5e over the past year?

    Run a live game every fortnight on Wednesday in my garage. Run one and play one php game everyday. Every once and a while I wonder if I am playing the same game as posters on EW. EDIT: fortnight for the win.

    D&D 5E To use or not to use feats

    Exactly. I would rather redo the weapons chart and add 'specials' for weapons. Base it on proficiency bonus. So a character proficient with weapon would unlock specials as their proficiency bonus increases.

    D&D 5E To use or not to use feats

    Feats, no feats, I have run both. Now I use a limited feats list. Besides Skill Feats from the UA article, I allow these: Alert Actor Dungeon Delver Durable Inspiring Leader Keen Mind Linguist Lucky Magic Initiate Observant Resilient Ritual Caster Skilled Skulker Tough Essentially removing...

    D&D 5E What does it mean to you for a character/class to be "good in melee"?

    If five adventurers go into my dungeon and six adventurers come out. They were all good at melee.

    D&D 5E Trap Stat Blocks, Examples, CR and XP

    Trigger and Actions seem to be a subset of Type. Both are part of Type function while Detection and Disarming seem more player character driven. With a Trap, Detection and Disarming will come into play only if the PP is high or the player rolls dice defeating the detection DC. I would order the...

    How long have you been gaming?

    My first wargame began when I got my first box of plastic army men. They were set up lovingly in a sandbox and then mercilessly mowed down by my BB gun.

    D&D 5E Less about the numbers and more about the concept: Judging classes in 5th edition.

    The only way to acceptably defeat a DC is to crush it by at least 15. Wait for ten years when the white room maths catch up. Your Champion is going to suck! Now or then, we will need for you to turn in your fun. Sorry.

    Creating magic items in 5e

    Yes. I like players planning on making them, however I work with the players when they want to add content. Makes for fine questing. I have a restriction on weapons though. Weapons are not +X items, instead they grant access to all or some of the effects of the cantrips - Prestidigitation...

    D&D 5E Less about the numbers and more about the concept: Judging classes in 5th edition.

    The data from the survey results - maybe the only math that matters in 5E, but I don't have access to the data so its just guesswork. I rarely use white room math to judge a concept I come up with. MC really screws up judging straight classes especially when it come to making a concept over...

    D&D 5E Landholds, what do you want out of it?

    Landholds seem to be the 4th pillar of DnD.

    D&D 5E Heroic Archetypes and Gaps in Class coverage

    And then there is multi classing. Nuff said. IMO WoTC archetypes were all tied up by those those damned dirty apes (legacy players) and their big nets (survey results) that captured the day. The designers came up with some interesting ideas in this Class/Subclass format but eventually never...

    Make it a spell effect. Not a monster.

    D&D 5E Do You Hint at Damage Resistance?

    Cutting the HPs in half is common when you add at least one form of resistance for a 1-4 CR monster. The multiplier goes down when the expected challenge rating goes up. It might work better for DM created content. I think it is easier to observe precisely what is going on in a combat through...

    D&D 5E Do You Hint at Damage Resistance?

    I guess you could remove resistance and double hit points if you didn't care to translate to the narrative. You might have an objection from metagame. But we all know the guys in that department are crazy.B-)

    D&D 5E Landholds, what do you want out of it?

    Control of an area resource or resources. Doesn't have to be granular but just enough to add importance and perhaps a variety of markets. Would like to see this when complete.

    D&D 5E Do You Hint at Damage Resistance?

    My players might know what resistance is but the characters don't understand the combat mechanical term and usage. It becomes as abstract as hit points. Most of my encounters have DMG crafted monstrosities. They all have resistance. B-)
