I vote that TwoSix be permabanned for this pun. Mods, can you back me up on this one?* * ;)

I don't know about 5e, but in 4e Warlocks could have a Pact Blade (but not a Blade Pact), which was just a knife that worked as an implement for the purposes of their powers. My theory is that since Pact Blade is already a thing in D&D people are just getting Blade Pact confused with it...

What if you're falling into a gorge??

:-S You dress at the table in a giant panda costume? Giant panda is a playable race in your campaign? YOU are a giant panda?!? Please explain!

Ooh I had a professor like that once. The more intense the conversation in the class was, the faster he would pace. He was not very coordinated so he would soon start stumbling into chairs and bouncing off walls. It was a great class.

This is not a bad idea but I would keep your 'social contract' very short so you don't run off your players. This is doubly important since you are likely just meeting them for the first time! A long list of dos and don'ts is likely to cause more problems than it solves. I would mention any...

I imagine that no two DMs run games exactly the same way. DMs might employ elaborate hand drawn maps. They might be constantly handing out missives and clues from their game world. They might constantly roll a d20 as if making secret checks, even when they're not. They might always roll in the...

Ah yes, my bad for skimming. Thx!

What I don't understand is, there's already a well-regarded solution to dealing with 're-imaginings' of fictional worlds... alternate timelines. You simply do your Realms Reset and have it take place in an alternate timeline. Then if people want to play in R.A. Salvatore's world they can, but...

After the Jester said it, I just couldn't resist...

At this point the Forgotten Realms timeline reminds me all too much of the parody fantasy setting The Elemenstor Saga.

I'll try not to repeat everything everyone else has said. There IS a lot of errata out there. Some of it is straightforward - fixing stuff that was over-powered, under-powered or simply unclear. But there is also errata that makes significant changes to the system! Here are some of the big ones...

DMs make mistakes, players make mistakes. You both made little mistakes at the wrong moment, and a TPK ensued. It happens. I've been there. You brush yourself off, laugh, and say, "Same time next week?" I agree with the Jester, the one thing I really wouldn't have done is say "That didn't...

You played Thunderspire and you don't think that a mountain housing an underground kingdom of vanished minotaurs that is now ruled by mages is 'unique'? Again, Nentir Vale had all kinds of local flavor. The world themes and major NPCs were intentionally 'this space left blank' so that it could...

1) I agree with Jester Canuck that Nerath/Nentir Vale/Points of Light had a branding problem. In my game group we refer to it as Nentir Vale or PoL. I feel like PoL is probably as close to an official name as it has. 2) Unlike most settings, which are grand, sweeping things, the Nentir Vale...

As a fan of dex-based martial classes, I feel your pain. 13th Age is a relatively young game so it doesn't support the dozens of builds that D&D does. AFAIK there's no officially supported dex-based-fighter out of the box. Your options are reskinning another class or multi-classing, as...

You can buy the 13th Age Bestiary in PDF-only form at the Pelgrane Press store. Seems like a lot of people were interested in that so I thought I would post it here.

Yes, the +2 dmg is only going to apply once per attack. It gets added to X part of the "2[w] + X".

Sounds like medicine is pretty useless. That would make it similar to the 4e 'heal' skill, which was also useless. Maybe they decided it only 'feels like' D&D if there's a useless heal skill?
