    D&D 5E Is 5th Edition Directly Descended from Star Wars Saga Edition?

    I wish! I really do, but looking at saga edition with all the issues it had, the five classes felt like they gave me plenty of room to build every character I wanted, while the classes in 5th edition feel so narrow that I am always frustrated just by thought of having to build a character with...

    D&D 5E Are players always entitled to see their own rolls?

    I have to say, I have no issue with metagaming. Iactually think it usually makes the game better, so I prefer to have all rolls in the open. A players who rolls bad, can then play out then the character is probably not focused enough on the task at hand or otherwise distracted or lacks...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana is Here - and it's all about EBERRON!

    I am a little underwhelmed, but I guess the stuff is on purpose kinda weak designed to avoid a power creep.

    D&D 5E Confessions of a guilty conscience DM

    I don't feel guilty by the decisions I make as a game master, and do not regret anything. Sure, I am not completely ruthless, I avoid railroading or touching the stats of the characters in a permanent way (except in one-shot horror adventures, where it is clear from the beginning that horrible...

    D&D 5E Aasimar from the interwebs...

    Celestial Resistance is different (of course WotC wouldn't give them acid resistance). And cantrip and the first spell are different in the Celestial Legacy.

    D&D 5E Chases, what has worked and what has not?

    A chase is nothing that should be enforced, if the players have taking stuff that could immediatly bring the chase to an end, then to ignore that would devalue their choices and pretty much simply railroad them into a chase. Had a few weeks ago the situation that our group got robbed of the...

    Additional Fighting Styles

    I Updated my first post! Wow, that is now far too strong, maybe just for one save... but even then, I think straight bonuses are better for fighting styles then those which change over time. I had thought about that at one point to, but it just doesn't feel like a fighting style. Maybe I would...

    Additional Fighting Styles

    That one is interesting! Not sure if people would really take it, maybe with the excaption of Ranger. But it seems like a nice option to have if one has something special in mind. Another good thinking, but also mostly interesting for Rangers. Maybe with a different name in addition to my...

    D&D 5E The curious case of the double-dragon sorcerer

    I think making it an immunity would be too strong, I think one should become a damage reduction, so that having both would still be useful, since damage reduction and resistance do work together.

    Additional Fighting Styles

    I certainly don't think that adding finesse would a good idea there... it seems also not really necessary, since all classes which have access to this rely on strength for melee combat anyway. Giving an action, and an attack at that, seems really not the way those fighting styles are meant to...

    D&D 5E Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    My current character is a Monk, not a charisma-based class, and still the half-elf felt like a better option. Guess I am just not feat dependent. Sure, there are some nice feats, but with only 5 ability increases for most clases, I will most often end up not taking any feats at all (like I...

    D&D 5E Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    It bothers me so much, since I usually love to play humans, but so far every time I tried to build one, I ended up playing a half-elf, since it always turned out to be the better option. I feel gimped when I take a human. Don't get me wrong, feats are nice and dandy (and I even calculated them...

    D&D 5E Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    I also think Humans are slieghtly underpowered. I think I give the standard Human the additional free skill, and let the Variant have three different ability scores at +1. Basically deciding that the feat is worth three +1s (even though feats are only worse one ability increasement of two +1s or...
