I'm with Drudenfusz on this one... not a big an of the feat. I find the feat only of any true value if you were planning to play a low-level one-shot game of some sort. I will of course concede that a few feats are really nice, but others are either lackluster or just plain not good. I think...

I played a thief for a good long time in 1e/2e and as far as permanent magic items went, I think I got my hands on gauntlets of ogre power (18/00) for some amount of time, but potions were another story entirely. Did I get a backstab off every fight? no. Did I make sure to get one off when it...

and what about the triple sword/ 3-bladed sword from the sword and the sorcerer...

I'm back playing D&D. I've always played a few different systems, but after the release of 4e and playing it a few times I gave up on D&D. Mostly I'd been running Shadowrun, Rifts, and pathfinder as well as playing a friend's homebrew system. We toyed with starting back up a hybrid 1e/2e game...

I'd say it was still just a little weak overall compared to the other 13th lvl abilities. This feels very situational whereas the use magic device can really be a defining staple of the character running around using wands, turning evil magic items back against their owners, activating the...

if you are trying to embrace the 5e you might consider just giving advantage to the crocs/lizardmen, but still having them all roll. They easily could come up for air at the wrong time, splash some water with a tail, move in a way that stirs some scum on top of the water, etc. There are plenty...

So xp is based on the capabilities of the PCs? I've never heard of anything like that... Do you give less XP for undead encounters if the party has a cleric who can turn undead or more to parties without a cleric? As a DM I don't change XP for that, so not sure why I would award xp if the...

I was always a fan of the monstrous compendium. Was nice to be able to pull out the monsters I needed when running a game and then file them back away in the binders. The only problem with it was having to buy thousands of those stupid paper donuts / hole reinforcement tools because pages...

In my opinion there is nothing wrong with retrying skills. If a particular challenge is within your ability to accomplish without needing a "critical success" to trump the rules for you, then I see nothing wrong with spending more time on the task until you finally get the tumblers where you...

on pg 182 of the PHB it says under long jump "each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement" so not sure how you could jump more than your movement speed/dash speed.

Good point with elves being immune. Wouldn't they also eat up the HP of the spell? If there was an elf in the AoE with 5 HP, the spell would target them in order of HP like normal, but they would be unaffected by the spell right?

Don't forget to also pay 50g to craft the 100g 1d4 dmg poison. :)

Also new to Vegas Hey am also new... just moved here and living near Ft. Apache and Warm Springs. I'm looking for a game, and my wife might be willing to join as well.

A couple of Grapple situations I'm looking for some clarification on in 3.5 PC A has a stirge attacked to him and PC B decides to try to remove it with a greataxe swing. PC B makes an attack at the stirge with no dex, making it easier to hit the tiny creature attached to the neck of PC A with...

Maybe it's just me... but the "new" knight class really looks to me like a re-hash of the 1st ed Unearthed Arcana, Cavalier class. So really, if you feel that the new knight class is influenced by video games, then you've got the chicken and the egg mixed up, and 1st ed AD&D influenced video...
