Wow, really well done, mate. Appreciate the suggestion. I found a copy and skimmed through it, and it looks good. Right up my alley, for what I'm going for. Pretty sure I'll use it.

Part of the problem with that is, after a few trial runs of 4e soon after it's release, I bailed out. Didn't care for it, so I didn't really bother with any of the products, or keeping up with the storyline, as those were my "MMO years". My groups and I just kept plugging away with 3.5 until...

Thank you. :) I shall nab these post-haste, thanks. :)

Anyone else is free to answer that. :D

Frustrating, and not what I wanted to hear, but you seem to be correct. I'd hoped to be able to avoid buying the 4e stuff (Neverwinter Campaign Setting), as I have so many other things to buy at the moment, but I may have to. How are things going in your versions of Neverwinter? Any tips or...

My google-fu is failing me on finding more in-depth information for 5e Neverwinter. Most of the wikia info goes up to 4e. I have the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, and it's not as detailed as I'd prefer. What I'm looking for: Specifics about the various districts. Why is it "Bluelake" and...

Not that I want to pull some necromancy on such an old thread, but I recently found these and very much appreciate the time and effort that went into creating these maps. Phineas deserves ALL the exp.

I'm not sure if it was unintended or not. Until someone asks Mearls on twitter, I'm going to go with what would be thematically cooler. VT is necrotic damage. DT is necrotic damage. When used at the same time, it just makes sense (to me).

That's pretty much what I thought, which was strange when I was having this conversation with the other DM. He's generally a concept > crunch type of guy.

Nice. :P Also, the Death Cleric is a PC (of the god Kelemvor), but I like where you're headed with this.. I have to agree here. It's definitely not looking as though it'll outshine the rest of the party, especially since it's healing is self-only, and not even a massive amount of healing, as...

Anyone see a strong reason against allowing it?

To those of you that allow Death Clerics, do you allow the Death Touch ability to enhance the healing from the Vampiric Touch spell? Of my D&D group, only two of us are regularly DMs. I like to read optimization guides and one such (found here...

I disagree. Elves tend to revere life, and most won't kill except to protect themselves, their people, or their homes.

It depends on the players. I'm in a game where we were teaching my kids to play, so all of the sex stuff is treated as non-existent/not mentioned at all. But, I'm assuming this is about games with adults, so I'll focus there. The general rule is "what happens in the real world, happens here"...

It depends on the DM, but I understand that outlook. There are two distinct scenarios where I worry about having a character with too many attachments written into the back story. 1. The "Mary Jane". It's the most obvious. Why did Spider-Man wait so long to get with MJ in the Tobey Maguire...
