So we've run the gambit of online tabletops with my group. rpgtableonline, roll20, and a couple others. We decided to kill our game night last night and migrate everything over to FG, and give it a go. Overall, it went pretty well. Here's some notes I made: The Good: The "drag and drop" stuff...

As Hermione liked to say, "It's LeviOsa, Not LevioSA!" ;) But yeah, I get what you're saying. I think I'm going to submit this question to one of the developer blogs for clarification.

You see... this is exactly why I hesitated to post to begin with. Here I go trying to make a comment from personal experience on where another poster is coming from with their post, and you derail the thread into a debate by dissecting my words like a lawyer... -From a Mod Squad, no less! Wow...

Not at all trying to be confrontational here, but unfortunately, I doubt he's trying to be funny, nor is he incorrect... It's the fairly well-known way of domesticating lions, tigers, elephants, etc. in the most efficient manner possible. Why do you think people are so against circuses lately...

Realize we are talking about a fantasy RPG here, and a person magically and divinely attuned to nature, animals and plants. We aren't talking Jeff Corwin here, we're talking Radagast from LotR, who can cast Animal Friendship and Speak with Animals at 1st level. So yeah. I'd say that'd be pretty...

That said, you definitely need one character to take on the healing roll. That person always keeps a couple spells in reserve if things go south. But the roll definitely doesn't have to be a Life cleric. It could be any of these other classes with both Cure Wounds and Healing Word. Oh, and I'm...

Slightly off-topic, but when you do the pepsi challenge between the healing classes, the only one that's a dedicated healer is a cleric with Life domain. All the others are mostly equal, other than maybe the paladin. In fact, a lore bard and either flavor of druid are probably better healers...

Why the heck would any rogue make themselves strength-based?

Just a reminder that any player without the Crossbow Expert feat needs to be prepared for melee in some capacity. As a GM, I quite regularly double-move bad guys into melee with any spellcasters and ranged people trying to keep their distance. They aren't stupid you know, and this isn't world of...

Some of the bard's insults going through Horde of the Dragon Queen: (to a group of kobolds): "Hey, look guys! Dragon poop!" (to Cyanwrath, the half-dragon): "How's it feel to be a wanna-be dragon??" In fact from then on, Cyanwrath was dubbed "Wanna-be" haha

First off, I'd like to be clear here: I'm not talking about casting a fireball on someone from stealth without them knowing where the spell came from, or blasting someone with phantasmal killer in a crowded bar without the recipient having any clue who is blasting them. That would clearly be...

LOL, well that's a pretty narrow interpretation of bardic magic, but that's definitely one way of playing it out I guess. :-) I was more thinking about the possibility that he hums a very discrete tune to himself while lightly tapping a magical beat on his thigh. Musical instruments aren't...

This particular situation was the group's Bard, who has very good deception rolls, stealth rolls, and even a pretty decent slight of hand roll. It seems like if anyone could get a spell cast without nearby people noticing, it'd be him. It actually applies to a lot of different situations too...

Say one of your players casts Charm Person/friends/whatever on the guard captain to get past the gate, or Detect Thoughts in a room full of people to try and find who the bad guy is. That sort of thing. You really can't let everyone know you're doing it, right? How would you guys determine if he...

Another thing that should be noted is how grappling is no longer a wizard shutdown technique. I really like how they stopped all the rock-paper-scissors crap when it comes to spellcasters. One more thing is the rebuilt saving throw system. No particular save is a guaranteed success and no save...

I think that 5th edition is what 4th should have been. Though it'll always have a warm place in my heart, I'm personally very happy to be moving on from pathfinder.

MILF arrows are never flaccid, my friend. ;)

That was one of the first things we noticed as well. In response, our DM added things from prior editions, such as giving ranged attackers disadvantage when shooting into melee.

Most mistakes I or my fellow players have done have to do with carry-over thinking from previous editions: The only action that provokes attacks of opportunity is moving out of hostile reach of a nearby enemy. (PHB, Pg. 195) Casting a spell in melee does not, using a ranged weapon in melee does...

I see what you've done here, with getting the most skills as possibly thing. But I think it may be important to point out that any one character doesn't really need to have that many skills. -Especially a bard, with the Jack of All Trades feature. Multiclassing, and loosing access to 3rd level...
