    D&D 5E Best Armor in D&D

    Hey, babe, you wearing anything under that chain shirt? Looks like you got some pretty loose links there, if you know what I mean, wink wink. Um, nice greatsword, too. [To DM] I Withdraw to prevent an Attack of Opportunity.

    Studded leather? You had me at stud.

    D&D 5E Rethinking Attributes

    It's certainly possible that these, or other variations, would have been better choices early on. The fact is that after forty-odd years of the same six attributes at the core of the game (aside from the brief flirtation with Comeliness in 1985 and the poorly-adopted optional add-on rules in...

    D&D 5E Warlock as the arcane caster of the group?

    Ooh, this is a fun game! Let's include spell slot levels and invocations in the comparison. Wizard: 15 spells, plus arcane recovery in one short rest to get 5 levels of slots. We'll say that's one fifth-level slot, that would be the normal choice, so 16 spell slots totaling 41 levels. So in each...

    D&D 5E Warlock/Cleric Best of all Worlds

    I really don't think so. "You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class." If you have one cleric level, you can prepare 1+Wis mod cleric spells of up to 1st level. The fact that your warlock (or any other)...

    D&D 5E Warlock problems

    Your first ruling is definitely correct. Multiclass characters know and prepare spells based on their level in a class, so your pactladin can only prepare banishing smite if he has at least 17 paladin levels. The multiclass rules state that you can use your spell slots 'only to cast lower level...

    Basic D&D, Holmes Edition - a review

    I did. Played that edition until the AD&D DMG finally came out, then my group switched to AD&D. I don't think I've played the Holmes version since. I don't remember being at all frustrated or puzzled by the rules, but I had nothing to compare them to. It was a game of pure imagination to...

    D&D 5E Oct playtest magic items are legend---wait for it--ary!

    Because what this matters for is carrying capacity, which is simplified to be a matter of weight, when that is actually a very complicated calculation in the real world. Suppose a person can carry a 60-pound backpack comfortably, with the stuff in the pack balanced correctly (even left-right...

    How to stop runners?

    It's in the wizard's spellbook, as a matter of fact.

    Please take the whole "Hit Points and Regaining Hit points" back to the drawing board

    Average hit points for a 10th-level AD&D1 fighter with 18 Constitution, I'd surmise.

    Largest d20 Die Available?

    My son picked up a couple of d20's at GenCon in 2010 that are in the 100 mm range. (I haven't measured them ... but they're enormous. And heavy.) I don't know who the manufacturer was, unfortunately.

    Ranger Action Flow Chart

    But wait! What if you didn't take the Twin Strike power as one of your At-Will powers? There needs to be a version of this for those rangers' players. Oh, never mind--there aren't any. :lol: (My lovely wife is playing a bow ranger in our family campaign. This seems pretty accurate to me ...

    Thanks for playing today. But you won't go home empty-handed; you win a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat!

    OotS 786 is up

    786 One Step Worse Than "Diminutively". Why do I have a sudden hunch that "the Champ" will turn out to be somebody we've met before?

    Opinions wanted: is 'Master at Arms' an expertise feat?

    I feel your pain, Blood Jester. My party mocks my dice rolling constantly. The Tactical Warlord was my dream come true. I couldn't switch to 4E fast enough when I saw the power selection ...

    OotS 779: They Follow His Lead

    New OotS is up. I still don't know where Belkar ever kept that thing. But it's nice to know someone's still putting it to good use.
