So this is a 5e invention? Yikes. Rather ableist isn't it?

Considering the association of bedlamite with archaic mental institutions and views on mental illness... perhaps change the term? I have no information on the topic, sorry :(

I think that these discussions should consider what other systems do re "magic at will" Notably, warhammer has a "magic at will" system. How do they balance it? 1: magic is unreliable. a spell may fail 2: magic is dangerous: a spell can backfire 3: magic users are specialized. No "swiss...

Is that going to be the cover of the PHB?

I think it depends on the "strength" of the nova. For a fighter, going nova is action surge. For a paladin it's smite. At higher level, the paladin can have a much bigger nova than a fighter, buuuut not as often. So that balances out.

Drakkenheim roll20 stuff is coming!

I came here to post this. Dungeons of Drakkenheim is an excellent adventure, both "content wise" but also how well thought out it is from an organization/ease of use perspective. I'm currently running it with my players at home :)

back in the mid 90s, and recently when I was a player in a dragons of icespire peak. But I haven't used it much in between those...

EK definitively sprung to mind

I recently watched the 2nd episode of "Blue Eye Samurai" (excellent show, some nudity and violence, on Netflix). On top of being an excellent episode with amazing fight choreography, there was an excellent depiction of a religious festival. The mixture of civic festivities and religious...

a few comments 1: Loooove alternate earth campaign. I did a big one in Zeugma, where the city survived longer than it did in real life, in 1150. In mine, atlantis falling was an important aspect, because the survivors of atlantis went to found egypt and were "immortal" elves. 2: The...

well that has changed... "Of Course Not": Chris Pine Update Shuts Down Star Trek 4 Return

I think you need to tell your players that this game isn't for fun but to satisfy the curiosity of internet people they never heard of. That should motivate them!

I usually keep it vaguely defined, but I do have one race I went into pretty thorough detail. The Yoon-Suin campaign setting has many strengths, and one of them is that it leaves the individual DM a lot of room to create their own version of Yoon-suin. The origin of slugmen wasn't explained...

Dak'kon's class is an interesting question in 5e. EK: maybe, but his magic seemed too potent for that Warlock (hexblade). Maaaaybe? Bladesinger: seems the best fit, but would need to be reflavored College of sword: hmmmm not really? another interesting - doesn't quite fit but still cool -...

So perhaps some more useful advice, following that nit-picking (sorry!): I think a major factor on how dangerous a dungeon is is how "reactive" the dungeon is. If, for a number of reasons, the party is able to take it one room at a time, it's much easier to manage. If however a fight in room...

When you say "hard or medium", do you mean encounters that are actually hard or medium, or hard or medium as defined by the DMG? I'm saying that because I - and many others - have found that a medium encounter, as defined by the DMG, is usually quite easy. Because given 2 short rests...

30 years of gaming, and this is the first time I've seen this recommendation. A rather handy rule of thumb! I also note that it needs 18 rooms minimum to "work" (given one sixth of one third).

... really? PEG only protects vs a portion of foes, given the very limited amount of spells you can learn as an EK, I wouldn't take it...

thanks I think that many of us are interested in how the new stuff works out.
