I have a druid of the moon on my table. He reached the 2nd level and used this ability to change to a bear (and a lion, dire wolf, etc). It isn't all that powerfull as it seems. Rarely he finished the fight (on 2nd level) in animal form. The AC of the form plus the damage form the monsters...

Yeah, I misread the spell. You really don't create more material. Sorry for this, guys :)

I saw a lot of topics about "overpower" spells. All of them are, basically, combat spells. But here is a potentially powerful and game-change spell: Fabricate. It is a 4th level wizard spell. With it, the wizard (or bard, after all, on 10th level a bard can pick the spell that he wants) can...

You are right. And wrong. The HD is near the level, yes. The mage are a 9th level caster and has 9 HD, the Priest has 5 HD and caster level 5. But the Acolyte is 2HD, caster 1 (but this one is CR 1/4), so we can ignore it. The berserker isn't equivalente a 9th level fighter or nothing: it does...

Yeah, I know. This doesn't make my entire argument wrong or invalid: You still expect to fight a CR x on Level x (or higher) and this make the CR the "monster level" unofficially. Specially because monsters don't have level. And the CR isn't a Challenge measure only (like on 3.x) and this is a...

About the 8d6 fireball damage. Yes, it *seems* a lot on a first glance. As a lot of posters mentioned: the wizard is burning his precious slots doing it. But there are some other points to consider: 1. The fireball is a area damage spell. This make it powerful (since it hits a lot of enemies)...

I didn't say that. I explained that a spell systems grows better. For a "song system" grow, it'll be release on a very specific book (dedicated to the bard, for example) and thus the options will be lower. On the other hand, a spell system grows easily, specially because a lot of spells are...

There is a lot of opinions here. And I take the risk to say something that someone already said. The big advantage for using a spell system is that this prove better as the system grows. A new book can add 3 bards spells and you have 3 new power/opportunities to your character, while a "song...

Few templates :( No fiend/celestial half-fiend/half-celestial? Lich isn't a template anymore?

Because the Blindsight is limited to 120 feet radius and the eyes will give normal vision beyond that

A thing that I liked here it seeing the bounded accuracy at play. AC 25 for a CR 30 monsters seems low on 3.x and very ridiculous low on 4th. But now we know that it's very high. All the T's numbers are scary: it have a high AC, high chances of hit, a lot of HP, high damage... The very cool...

Since de 2nd edition the Tarrasque is on the first MM. It's tradition and a lot of players hope to see it. Usually this is the most powerful monster on that book and even who won't fight it, want to see how nasty a creature on D&D can be

My book will reach my hands only on September. At least it's what Amazon says (since I live on Brazil, it's a realistic time) ... :( My question is about summon spells. How it works now? It get more power when you cast at greater slots? How many time the summon (or summons) spend on the game...

Well, not that true. The feat says "minimum of 2". So, yes, Con 10 will give you 2 hp minimum when healing using HD. It's terrible, but it isn't "nothing"

Yeah, true, I simple made the average from minimum (2) to (6) but I forget that the minimum, on this case, has 2x more chance to roll than other numbers. I'll correct the post. But still: is better cast a fireball than a 3rd-level thunderwave
