My first reaction was yawn not that dead horse again. I'd rather get something new. I haven't had time to explore Exandria, or Theros yet but a world that based on 5e rather like Eberron was built around 3.5 would be my preference. That being said if we have to go old give Greyhawk, a...

Healing potions heal max HP. Still an action to use though. Critical Hit damage is full weapon die + 1d roll + mods. So a longsword would do 8 + 1d8 + mods. Keeps you from having a double 1 critical. Legacy Longsword for elves. Elves get Finesse with longswords if used one handed. That's...

20 or 21 but it's not common. I generally end my campaigns at lvl 15 since I don't really enjoy high lvl play anyway.

Inspiration is a good reward for this, and it'll inform the other players that good rp is rewarded. That being said if you wish to reward the player I suggest you reward him with good rp on your part. Maybe a youngblood fighter has heard of his character's special move and seeks him out as a...

I use my own Ranger in my current campaign. the player who is playing it seems to like it. Tried to offer three distinct builds, beastmaster, spell caster, and skirmish defender. Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/heg31mwiieth5c1/unofficial_ranger.pdf?dl=0 Feel free to critique. :-)

Yeah. There seemed to have been a fall from grace story there. Dungeon Master did refer to him as his son. In fact, Tiamat was chasing him around the multiverse. Perhaps he had stolen part of her power or aligned with one of her enemies.

Might make more sense as a Warlock now. He did seem to spam a lot of Eldritch Bolt style attacks.

Skill challenges will definitely remain in my games. I might consider shorter Short Rests as I found the 4th ed mechanic to be a good way to avoid the 15 minute work day. I will probably give out more hp at 1st lvl. Maybe as far as 3 hit dice worth. PCs would then catch up and not gain more...

Actually making a monk in 3.5 is pretty much a bad idea all around. Such a poorly designed class. I scratched my monk itch by using the book of nine swords. You can use the manoeuvers provided by those classes without weapons and it actually works quite well. So well in fact that when my...

Does it matter? If the character cuts through 5 feet of neck out of a 10 foot diameter neck the dragon will be just as dead. If you cut halway through a person's or an animal's neck death won't be far behind....

Kara-Tur Oddly enough I'm starting to wish they make a new release for oriental adventures. Kara-Tur or something of the kind.

And Al-Quadim was totally forgotten. Becoming the actual Forgotten Realms.

You can't heal objects. Aren't dead character objects with the special property that they can be raised from the dead? Cuz last time I checked a dead body had all the other properties of an object.

Personally I like a circle as a symbol of law.

Van Helsing is a good example IMO. Holy Warrior defeats monsters and vampires. Can't get more paladin-like than that.
