I appreciate all of the input. I am not dying to create house rules off the bat, but I wanted to make certain there weren't any glaring issues that seemed to keep up in people's games and these discussions. It doesn't sound like that is the case. It has been interesting hearing how different...

5e has been out for a while, but I am new to it. I've played every edition prior starting with 1st, and I was a big fan of 3.0/3.5/Pathfinder. I just picked up the 3 core rulebooks for 5e, and I like what I have seen so far. Anyway, given that this has been out for some time, I was wondering...

Alas, one of the PCs in a 5th-level group has fallen during the last adventure. Fortunately for them, they have also come across a bunch of treasure, so a raise dead or the like would be within their means. However, I would like to make the process more interesting than them simply finding a...

I am running a game in a world with hundreds of islands, but not big continent (supposedly it was all one big continent at one time, but the continent was shattered by some cataclysmic event). It is lightly Greek-themed, and uses the Greek pantheon.

I need to look at the alchemist and inquisitor more closely, but I am really enjoying the witch's flavor and crunch. I used 2 of them along with a green hag as villains in the last session I ran, and the spell list and the hexes of the witches made the combat a lot more interesting.

I really dig the cavalier class so far, although I agree that it needs a bit of "clean-up". I like the broad definition and flexibility that can come with using or creating a specific order can lend. Mind you, I think that since they do pledge themselves to some kind of order (or maybe just a...

That's probably just true for the playtest version. I'm guessing we will see some unique spells in the actual Advanced Player's Guide. Edit: Confirmed upthread; I was too slow!

Actually that's what I meant. Supernatural abilities aren't supposed to provoke, nor are touch attacks, but the witch's powers do because the text says they do.

Here's a link to the playtest document that includes the witch.

It seems like the summoner has gotten all of the attention on here, so I thought I'd start a thread about the witch. So...what do all of you think about the new witch class? I think it's awesome: I love the spell list, as well as the hex abilities. They seem like they would be a lot of fun to...

D'oh! Thanks; my bad. The crossbow critical multiplier is the only error, then.

I spotted a few errors in the cyclops entry. Attacks with greataxe and heavy crossbow should be 1 point higher to hit, and the threat range for the crossbow should be 19-20x2.

I am confused about the skeleton's damage with their "broken scimitar". Shouldn't this be 1d6+2 instead of 1d6?

Funny! I wonder why everyone seems to remember it having one? I guess it really doesn't need a prereq since it is self-limiting. Not much point in taking it if your DEX is below 12, although I suppose you can still get an AoO while you are flat-footed.

It looks like the Pathfinder version of Combat Reflexes doesn't have that prerequisite, anyway.
