"Being invisible might not be the best thing to do then." Dandin speculates. "I can hide our footfalls and our scents. And if nobody else can see in the dark, Ol'Sooty can." Dandin can cast Pass Without Trace, which should be better than Invisibility for scouting, I hope someone knows how to...

I'll believe it when I see it, in print that is. This is the 3rd time they have tried it, and already the same disapprovals that ended up scrapping the class last time are spreading. Good luck to the people wishing for it to pass the bar for approval, but that is an infamously hard check to beat.

Dandin hops back on Ol Sooty's back now that Sir Isteval has a proper mount, and gives the bear some proper ear scritches. "We don't mind carrying on for a bit." I guess the lamp has been lit! It took me forever to remember the formatting on Code Cyote and I think it still might be wrong. Ol...

Well, Dandin doesn't need a short rest and should be fairly good at scouting.

There will always be people, who whenever you hand them a hammer, will view every problem as a nail. But that is not the problem you are having. The problem you are having is that the bell curve you are looking at is so large you can't see past the horizon. When examining the 800lbs gorilla...

It happened before, it can happen again. The Order of Scribes was once a Artificer Subclass. After being redesigned for the Wizard, it became one of the more popular Wizard Schools: Absolutely oozing with flavor, and good enough mechanics to make you feel like you weren't loosing out by not...

Reanimator Artificer with modular Construct companion is the core of what I wanted... for the Necromancer Wizard subclass.

Dandin hops off of Ol'Sooty's back to give a series of hand gestures and a nod to the bear. In turn, the bear walks up from behind Sir Isteval, nuzzling the arm above his bad leg so that the Knight has an excuse to lean on someone for a bit. "I think Ol'Sooty has taken a bit of a liking to...

"Of course. Happy to help!" Dandin cheerfully replies and pets Ol' Sooty on the head. "Doubt we'll be needing horses anyway."

A better design might be a table of things to describe and point out for characters with various perception scores, but honestly the purpose of the text boxes is to help new DMs. And I am all for tools that make it easier for someone new to start DMing, even if it's something that they will grow...

Perhaps he could open up a tavern for fledgling Adventurers to get quests in? ;) At any rate, this is truly the end of an era. Perkins started his career about one year after I first got into D&D. Really puts things into perspective.

Dandin could feel his heart sink as the militia announced their warrant. Nobody was happy to be in the room right now, with the tension thick enough to be cut by his apple-knife. Fortunately, he wasn't far removed from his past as a merchant, and knew how to make a sale. "Friends, constabulary...

Well I dunno if Ol'Sooty can ride a horse, a bicycle maybe, but I suspect a horse might have objections. As for our current situation, Dandin can help with that. Or at least try depending on the dice :)

"How dire!" Dandin exclaimed, then paused for a thought. "If we can't find them with magic, maybe Ol'Sooty and I can pick up a trail with the more natural techniques that were taught to us."

I can't say it's unexpected, but I can say it's disappointing.
