I've always been intimidated by the Forgotten Realms. It feels like there's just too much of it to really get a sense of what it's about. However, this last year I've been playing more Adventurer's League, and as that takes place in Forgotten Realms, I find myself wanting to give my characters...

While the Satanic Panic died down, it endured for a long time and indeed still continues in many churches. When I began playing RPG's in 1996, I started with FASA's Earthdawn almost entirely because it didn't have the same reputation. I also loved the top notch artwork and interesting backstory...

so how would some other issues work? point build: 21 or 20 points seem fair? ability score increases: should this be lowered? I was thinking limiting it to +1 to 2 ability scores instead +2 to one might be more balanced racial ability scores: should these be lowered?

The actor feat specifically lists charisma(performance) as the skill used for pretending to be another person. I think that's a use for performance that is often overlooked. In addition, here are some ideas for it's use. -- "Playing it cool", and blend in with a crowd. Useful in situations...

Could you go one article without knocking 4th. Geez man, just show the product. Everyone has their opinions set by now and those who liked the edition don't appreciate having it sniped.

If I did make an invocation that lets the patron maintain concentration, do you think it should be limited to 1/day? I could see it getting out of control in multiclassing situations otherwise.

I would absolutely love to get the various map tiles pack up. And I'd like them to have the individual tiles as .png or .jpeg or something. It'd be nice to have a high quality copy of those that I could make maps from.

I had thought no, that from the warlocks perspective, it becomes concentration free. I also agree that having a spell that lets them add one spell from any other spell list is cool, and something I thought of adding.

I've always felt the spell once per day invocations ('Bewitching Whispers', 'Dreadful Word', 'Minions of Chaos', 'Mire the Mind', 'Sculptor of Flesh', 'Sign of Ill Omen', and 'Thief of Five Fates') are all very weak. A single free casting of a single spell doesn't feel worthwhile, and many of...

Wonder why Jolly thought that particular issue was a good intro to KoDT. Might have to go back and read it.

So, I haven't read all ten pages of this, but I too think darkvision is a bit too common, and here are my thoughts 1) one way to solve it would be to make darkvision have more of a penalty. Perhaps when suddenly exposed to bright light, they take disadvantage to all attack rolls for 10 minutes...

For the most part I like it. There are definitely parts I'd fiddle with, and I'd still like to see a stronger favored enemy and primal awareness features (though I think your changes there were definitely a step in the right direction and especially liked how it's free once per hour)...

Here's my two cents as a player who played through this adventure twice: --The hardest part of this adventure seems to be not boring your characters to tears early on. I saw this adventure run once by a mediocre DM and once by a much better one and that was the major difference. Keep things...

Hmmm.... in a grittier game, it could be interesting. Is this used for monsters as well? It could be expanded further to make certain situations more or less dangerous. It could also be used to support assassination rules pretty easily. For example, perhaps in a surprise round you aren't allowed...

I love the name. It actually evokes a bit of flavor. Psion is very generic.

I only played psionic combat in 3.0 (as I didn't play earlier editions and it didn't appear in 3.5), but I am mostly of the same opinion here. What I would be willing to see would be combining the ideas of psionic combat forms with psionic focus. Like, just spitballing here, suppose you spent...

Y'know, I can get behind this idea. It allows us to have a psion class with different subschools devoted to each version. There can be a wilder for natural talent, and an alienist for the far realm themed psion, and neither one has to be the one true psion. I don't think anyone would really...

Allowing a stronghold to be build without the players actually being there seems fair to me. Four years is a long time to wait for a castle in game time, even if it is pretty generous by actual historical standards. I'm also considering a rule to allow the group to pay triple the gold to have...

Has anyone noticed the rules for building a stronghold seem off? Specifically, the rules state that for every day you take off, 3 days are added to the total building time, apparently to represent the idea that work progresses much slower when the player isn't present. However, if one examines...

Sorry if this has been said already, I haven't caught the whole thread yet. I think for the most part, only psion is iconic enough to be it's own class. 5e so far seems less inclined to multiply classes, and psionic warrior can probably be a subclass of fighter. Soulknife can probably be a...
