about 3 years ago I was in a campaign with a psi warrior. The GM was new and a bit too helpful, so he said "you are level 5, you can start with a headband of intellect". This is great news, because the psi warrior is a bit MAD. Then the DM told me "so just dump your int to 8, you don't need...

Not really?. If you are pushed prone, your movement doesn't automatically go to zero. And a lot of push effects are 5, 10 feet. You can move a foe 60 feet with this!

Attunement will help yes. I know the staff requires attunement by a spellcaster, but I believe that the weapon and armor/shield ones just require attunement by anyone. I do not like it when people build PCs that "need" a magical item to "work"

Wild heart gets rather good when you notice that you can teleport people straight up in the sky... splat

So Something that some people loooved about 3.x and PF1e, and some others (I'm mostly in this camp) didn't like was how easy it was to make and buy magical items. no longer are the items the PCs get uniquely in the control of the DM, the players get a say too! This thread is NOT about if this...

And with the right background, you can "soft" triple class - an eldrich knight with the criminal background, for example ;)

You had bones?!?!

I can't recall specifically for the 5e DMG, but it's been frequent advice to limit access to defensive items for the players, because they all are sporting +3 plate and +3 shield, it becomes hard to balance. Feeling of invulnerability can reduce tension etc. Anyway, it now seems to be that...

It's not quite D&D (although it could easily be played with D&D), and it's sort of a hybrid between campaign setting and adventure, but I would be remiss not to mention UVG (UltraViolet Grasslands), an "point crawl" adventure that has wildly creative locations and NPCs. Even if you never run...

Zeitgeist is also really good, but I haven't read it, only played as a player, so don't know what % was our GM and the original adventure.

I came here to name the same adventure. How is your campaign going? :) I'm actually simultaneously DMing a campaign and playing it in another group. It's not an ideal situation, but we made it work. It truly is a remarkable campaign, and it supports different playing styles fairly well too.

Ah, but what's harder - remodeling an entire faction, or removing a zero from a number? ;)

Another reason why the overland road to Baldur's gate seems... suspect.

I just realized something. A big change that happened in 3e FR (from 2e FR) was the rise of the Red Wizards of Thay as magical merchants. This matched the 3e rules, which were FAR friendlier to magical item creations , esp compared to 2e. It made a lot of sense that there would be a trade of...

I agree with you on both points. Unless the sea is impassable, which is not the case, sea travel, even with relatively limited ships (say a 200 ton cog) is far more profitable and capable than overland travel. This is even more reasons to use the 3e version of Forgotten Realms. What's so...

But why do they dominate trade? As many others have pointed out, its location is not that advantageous.

Now combine this with armor of Agathy...

I made the golden field farmers as productive as modern farmers (that's VERY magical!), and calculated a reasonable amount of people that could be fed would be 250 000. Your answer is that it's very very magical? Why not just have food rain down from the sky? People from waterdeep have...

See, Rome had about a million, and their secret was grain shipped from Egypt. That was possible because Rome dominated Egypt, it was a Roman province. Waterdeep doesn't have that hold on other parts of the area. Given the somewhat northerly climate, I don't anticipate that the area is...
