    D&D 5E October Playtest Packet - Magic Items, Updated XP, Monster Traits

    I know giving these items out is down to the DM and all that but does nobody else have a problem with the Belt of Giant Kind? I would never hand out an item like that and struggle to see why they are there, even if the most common one is meant to be rare. Although I'd much rather an item be...

    D&D 5E What should Rogues do?

    I would like to see maneuverability being a big thing for rogues the essentials thief with its at wills being movement based was a decent idea but overall the class was poorly executed and I don't like how they were mostly used to gain CA or bonuses to attack or damage. In my mind I'm thinking...

    D&D 5E Our 4th Playtest - Going for the Crown

    Huh I haven't noticed a lack of deadliness, I've run 2 playtest games over 3 sessions. In the first one under the first package rules we had 5 players, I dropped two killed one and forced one to retreat to town, but for an invisibility potion some good plans and stellar rolls by the rogue I...

    D&D 5E Human Subraces

    I agree with those that said there shouldn't be subraces. I also think +1 to everything with an extra +1 to anything if very powerful, in a one shot I ran all 3 players chose human(dual wielding fighter, warlock and sorcerer) one I know took it because he had mostly odd stats so it evened him...

    D&D 4E More reflections on 4e and 5e.

    Well he did say it was a throwing hammer, that may well have been mundane(I don't invest in magic ranged weapons for my melee characters) 1d6 maxed +4 is 10 maybe it was a +1 hammer for the extra 3 or maybe he was a dwarf with dwarven weapon training although then I can't think where the other 1...

    D&D 4E More reflections on 4e and 5e.

    A. First of all I'd say if you think it requires above average intelligence to understand at wills you are over estimating your group's intellect or they are just so used to another system the change over is a bit jarring, I would say they will get used to this quick enough though. I started...

    D&D 5E Overcoming Bounded Accuracy

    I personally like bounded accuracy, I love 4e but one gripe was that higher level monsters couldn't be touched by lower level ones and that my paladin who had no interest in history somehow got better at remembering stuff from hundreds of years ago. I understood the concept and I can understand...

    Mike Mearls Hook Horror Formating and Notation

    That's pretty class, I don't see why keeping fluff first means we have to have ugly ass stat blocks that are a pain to read(and I know the one Mearls did was a first go and not a finished article). I seen mention that 2e had a spiral bound monstrous manual (can't find a picture but this maybe...

    D&D 5E Poll on the Reaper: is damage on missed melee attack roll believable and balanced?

    This. My experience with it spoilered as it's from Caves of Chaos. I like it in general but I can imagine a cave full of 2hp Kobolds.

    Probability question: Advantage and Disadvantage

    This man is correct, I checked this in regards to Avengers in 4e and it's 13.825. Just did a check and disadvantage would give 7.125. The way I did this was in excel made a grid with 1 to 20 as headers(to simulate possible first roll outcomes) and 1 to 20 at the sides(for second roll) then use...
