    D&D 5E Was I in the wrong?

    Oh I don't mind players messing up at all. Sometimes very unforseen and interesting circumstances are created. But in this case we are talking about miscommunication. The players themselves later refer to wanting to investigate the ring; hence it has always been in their mind (and perception...

    D&D 5E Was I in the wrong?

    Here is my take on it. You describe the different magic items - amoung others an armor set consisting on a adamantine plate and Magical Gauntlets with a ring. The Players say they carry the stuff together (Whatever words they used). Ranger enters the blacksmith saying: "I want to sell the...

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

    hmm people seem very set in their ways and distrusting of others :( When I play, I do so with the best of my friends and we always have a great time. As for the topic: (Disclaimer -because apparently necessary: This is my own view and what we found creates the best experience overall) Are the...

    Monte Carlo versus "The Math"

    Awesome idea you got. I've got some point for you, that might make some things easier. To simplify thigns you need to make some Guidelines, which could be: 1) Real players wouldn't make obvious bad choices 2) Real players are seldom perfect at creating their Char, even when they try. 3) The...

    Expertise

    It is from Players Handbook 2, and it Alters Game Balance! (Quick description) As a more detailed description: +1 Bonus to Attack at lvls 5/15/25 (I.e. +3 at lvl 25) Q&A Do people exclude it from their games: No, they just whine (Like me) Is it imbalanced: YEs, Must have feat. Enjoy

    Lasting Frost

    I would think the answer to be "yes" You hit with cold --> Activated Cold Damage --> +5 from vulnerability no? Its when you hit its activated, and you hit before you deal damage? or?

    CustServ on "What is 'an attack'?"

    You do know that none of this is important, since its player vs player situations... Find a Player vs Monster situation to challenge and you may lay your claims valid.. 4e doesn't have to be clear on anything regarding player vs player combat, since its already noted somewhere that the rules...

    The mystery of SHADOW WASP STRIKE, Ranger3 Encounter Power

    Maybe the powers should have been swapped? Shadow Wasp strike looks more like a level 1 power to me, and evasive strike like a level 3... Intesional or mistake? Only the *higher powers* know :)

    Vorpal Crits

    Now to a real issue: If we ask Custserv 10 times: How many will say A and how many will say B? and how many really understand the difference :)?

    Careful Attack/Sure Strike: A mathematical analysis

    Try to compare Twin Strike, with a 16 STR Cleave :) Careful Attack / Sure Strike is just plain pointless unless your ability mod is 0 or less... OR if you need a 21 to hit a monster :)

    Sleep vs. Extented Rest

    I don't think you would be able to benefit from that at all. You've probably still used healing surges etc, så extended rest will have its place And in the case of not being in combat.. (thereby not using daily's and Healing surges) You will in the exact same state as if you did have combats...

    I don't quite understand milestones

    The 2 random encounters could be hard? they might end up spending wast resources surviving? And you're telling me you're still not going to give them a penny(or Action point ;) )? Surviving a pack of Crancky horny Ownbears should really really count as something big !

    Shields useless for non-fighters?

    So paragon feat + Scale is better than shield + Scale? in that case.. why not go Scale + shield + lightning reflex -.- only difference is that you dont get +1 damage for holding a weapon in 2 hands..

    Level 5 Warlord Dailies

    Its not always the optimal idea to stack on Healing. As you see from the power, they cxan spend a healing surge = they will have one less for a later time. Now, in the specific encounter it might be useful, but the party still spend resources. Remember, if the party isn't too critically...
