    D&D 5E Kobold Preview

    I don't see why a MM listing can't have both flavor text and a list of optional variants as examples. Complete stat blocks are not needed. For the kobold, there was no reason to have another stat block for the urd. Move the kobold stat block to the left column, and that frees up the right...

    D&D 5E Shields and Somatic Components: Will you play it "as is?"

    You just proved my point. Players who say "but there's only 10 intstruments in the PHB" are unimaginative. There are not ten options in the PHB, there are ten examples. Options are essentially infinite and only depend on the player and DM to agree to something they find reasonable. Player: I...

    D&D 5E Shields and Somatic Components: Will you play it "as is?"

    I was going to post the very same thing! People get stuck in a rut thinking every bard has to use a lute. If you are looking for ideas for musical instruments for bards, consider checking out the http://mim.org/ for pictures. Many of them can be used hands free, one handed, etc. This will be...

    Help me avoid slaughtering my party

    I feel this is a terrible idea. It reeks of lame RPG stereotypes. The uber powerful creatures sending the PCs on a quest that will take weeks, yet the powerful creature could likely do it in a matter of hours. (see 8-bit theater for a very funny example) Why not? Hate to break it to you but...

    2nd Printing of Core 4E books yet?

    I know the errata has various versions, but I still don't know if the actual printed books have a second printing going yet that has these changes already in place.

    Help me avoid slaughtering my party

    That's a pretty wicked ambush for a group that level, but they survived. They had the chance to escape from a clearly superior foe. They chose not to. Instead they engaged a clearly superior foe, on its home turf, who also had 24 hours to rest. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Have the Ogre Magi capture all...

    Anyone importing 4E’s’Used gear sells for 1/5th if at all’ to other RPG systems?

    Nope, sure doesn't. There was nothing in pre 3E that said players couldn't buy/sell magical items. Some DMs allowed it, some didn't. There was/is nothing in the current rules that state you have to let players buy and sell magic items. Again, some DMs allow it, some don't. Rule #1 is that...

    2nd Printing of Core 4E books yet?

    Anyone know if a second printing of the Core 4E books is out yet, and if so, do they have errata changes already made? If not, anyone heard of an ETA?

    Update: Malhavoc PDFs no longer available at RPGnow (merged)

    Here's a link to an article about video game piracy by the CEO of a gaming company. None of their games use DRM or copy-protection. They actually came up with an innovative way of NOT screwing over their customers, while at the same time attempting to reduce piracy. Make being your customer...

    Map Folio I Contents

    Does anyone know if they offer the maps as downloads in bulk? ie all the 2002 maps as a single download? I really liked how they consolidated all the Mind's Eye articles from a year into a single download, and wished they'd do that with more freebies on the site!

    Restrictions on Summon Monster Spells?

    Consorting? Not quite. Maybe if it was a demon, and I put him on a quest of some sort. But if I just summon a fiendish badger and order it to attack orcs, I hardly consider that consorting. Heck, aint it evil to summon a celestial creature and send it off to die?

    Restrictions on Summon Monster Spells?

    I disagree. If you are summoning an evil creature and sacrificing it to help kill other evil creatures, aint that a Good Thing?

    Simple (I hope) ? about Prot From Evil

    In agreement with Otter over the whole going back to first edition vs going forward with 3.5, the 3.5 SRD is freely available on WotC website, I encourage anyone with these types of questions to give it a quick check to see if the wording is better for a given spell/skill/feat/concept. I realize...
