    Playtest (A5E) Level Up Advanced 5E Playtest Document #9: Warlord

    That was the "Marshal", actually. I played one back in the day, so I remember it quite fondly ^^ It was quite bland compared to a bard, or a warlord in 4th Ed. but it did have some nice perks. It also wasn't very proactive. A mostly passive "being here, being inspirational" kind of class. This...

    Modiphius’ Latest License: Dishonored

    Yes, one of my beloved gaming franchise turning into a RPG (now, they just have to make an Elder Scroll Tabletop RPG, and I will be very happy) I had no problem managing the 2d20 system in Infinity, so if it's streamlined, it will be easy. Always found the system read a lot more crunchy than...

    Morgrave Miscellany: Eberron Sourcebook from Keith Baker

    The Dragonforged and the mark of death are something fun. Not for all chronicles, but interesting.

    Questions about vampire 5th ed rules

    For "unseen passage" : , which is a caveat to the general rule about Obfuscate, so yes, smell can be detected (most likely sewers, for Jasper)

    Questions about vampire 5th ed rules

    It's tied to blood potency and generation. With a sufficiently high blood potency (I don't remember right now the number exactly), your disciplines rouse check (for example can be re-rolled, a blood potency 3 giving you the possibility to reroll rouse check up to the second level of discipline...

    New Campaign Setting Hint Is Eberron?

    I pray the Silver Flame that it will be Eberron. Give me shifters and kalashtars, dhakaani goblins and hobgoblins, dragonmarked, and an artificer class !! ^^ But reasonably anything about Eberron would be good, since it's been some time and we need an overhaul to 5e...

    White Wolf Bought By Paradox

    The sentence about "unity under one flag" does smack kinda heavy handed. I wonder what good will come from that move from a licensing perspective. I do hope Onyx Path won't see its licence revoked, but frankly, that anouncement doesn't bode well, as for now...

    D&D 5E What's one thing that pleasantly surprised you, and one thing that disappointed you about the PHB?

    Pleasant Surprises: Diviners and Bards. Now I want to play each one ^^ Unpleasant Surprises: Nebulous "mounted combat" rules (partialy handled with Dexterity), and the equivalent of "Equitation" under Animal Handling (with Wisdom !!??) Adios to my dinosaur mounted halfling barbarian... The...

    Skills and Tiers

    @Khaalis: You take it quite far as "Background" skills go, in my point of view ^^. I do understand the logic of it, but in my mind, it was concerning "Lore skill" exclusively (as I consider theoretical knowledge to be faster to learn, opposite of pratical or semi-pratical skills). It's also...

    Skills and Tiers

    Mainly they are changes to the advancement rule. "Specialization" only permit, in this instance, to go beyond the limit of 1 skill level by tier, to a maximun of Tier +1. Within limits, that is, as defined by the Tier for most skills, and in our particular game, for the different Lores, as...

    Skills and Tiers

    For the playtest, we (two friend of mine and I) are converting and playing a homebrew campaign setting made formerly for ORE. In this instance, the limitation put on skill levels seems a little too steep. For this, we decided to adjust it with "specializations": Base Specialization: Tier +1...

    D&D 5E How can the first campaign at release be FR without a setting book?

    I wonder: -If they choose to take the Adventures path, with relevant information for the setting disseminated in series of following adventures, will Campaign setting book completly be put away? -Or they can intend to produce the corebooks immediatly followed by a Campaign setting book, in...

    Seminar Transcript - Upcoming Products for 2012

    The Menzoberranzan book seems interesting enough, more so if it's system neutral... Alas, I'm also disgusted to see that another year passes and there isn't even one Eberron book to be released (Would have gladly seen a book like the Neverwinter Campaign setting for this much beloved...

    Fantasy Concepts: An OGL Fantasy Saga Project

    First of all, thank you, Flynn, for your amazing work !! You just saved my three years old Eberron Campaign. With my players bored to death by DD4e and the weight of DD3.5 rules, I was going too make a huge system conversion to please them. But suddenly, I saw a light : Fantasy Concepts...
