    D&D 5E L&L 1/7/2013 The Many Worlds of D&D

    I agree with everyone who is saying that the default cosmology is either an unnecessary extravagance or a bit of a wrench in the works for homebrew games. At the same time, I do understand the need for one, and it doesn't have anything to do with traditional D&D games so much as it does with...

    D&D 5E New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring

    I feel like they are going in the right direction with downtime rules. It's great not to have to come up with them as the DM, and having them as a part of the core game encourages some DM's to create a more robust game than they might otherwise.

    D&D 5E Desired Spell Changes

    I think it's really strange that a lot of these issues were not caught on the first pass by the people writing them. I have a little different take on cantrips. If they are fully equal to weapon attacks in every way, yet require no equipment of any kind and use caster bonuses for the attack...

    D&D 5E Attack Cantrips

    The part that I noticed right away is that the cantrip progresses in damage at the same pace that martial classes progress in weapon damage. Meanwhile, the cleric's weapon damage is increasing at a much slower rate. It might take a while for this to become a problem, but eventually, wouldn't all...

    D&D 5E Additional Races! (June 7)

    I disagree with some of you guys about the ability scores. The problem with giving races +2 bonuses is that it pigeon holes them too much. If you want to play a powerful character, you're almost required to take one of the races that gets a +2 bonus to an appropriate stat (or two.) By making the...

    D&D 5E Attack Cantrips

    It's possible that they want to keep cleric cantrips contained a bit so that there is incentive to use actual weapons. I'm not sure they are succeeding.

    D&D 5E Desired Spell Changes

    That makes a lot of sense to me, Jeff. What if invisibility required and opposed check of some kind, or even a saving throw?

    D&D 5E Desired Spell Changes

    Moving spells up in level in general makes a lot of sense to me. To take my own example, invisibility is a spell that is fairly iconic to the idea of wizardry. I don't feel like it has to be removed or completely declawed, but I do think that it is unreasonable to assume that it has to be...

    D&D 5E Desired Spell Changes

    I agree that the concept can be taken too far, but for something with a tight focus, it makes a lot of sense to me. On a related note, sometimes I feel like certain classic spells are almost a contrivance, looking to divide up a concept into multiple parts in order to create the illusion of...

    D&D 5E Desired Spell Changes

    I like a lot of these proposed changes. I wholeheartedly agree with the necessity of changing the fly spell and others like it to higher levels, and I think that invisibility should be included in the list of spells that need to be of a higher level. It's a little ridiculous when the stealth...

    Prc: Old One

    I think your lack of replies may be due to a lack of clarity in the original post. I can't really tell what the class does, or on what aspect of the class exactly you want input. I like the basic idea of an item creation oriented PrC though.

    Trip question

    Can a character attempt a trip with a weapon that does not specifically state that it can be used for trip attempts? The explanation of the trip maneuver in the combat section would seem to indicate that anything can be used, but the individual weapon descriptions in the equipment section...

    Monster tokens

    quick clarification Thanks for your advice everybody. As far as my intentions with this token document, all I really want to do is give other people access to a miniature alternative that looks good. As I mentioned in my original post, someone's site obtained permission to do this already a...

    Monster tokens

    I don't know if this is the right board to post this (if it's not, please point me in the right direction), but I've made tokens of everything with a picture in the monster manual. I've seen some sites with incomplete lists of these, but never all of them, so I figure this might be useful to a...
