    D&D 5E Egregious TPK retcon in Hoard of the Dragon Queen

    The dragon has his reasons. He's not really interested in a fight. The interesting bit is the ranger almost defeated the encounter. The dragon leaves once he takes, as I recall, 24 points of damage or a single critical hit. 22 in one shot is probably enough to send him away. He doesn't know how...

    Yes, which was a hundred or so years after the Typo of Troubles. Thaunaturge.

    D&D 5E Tiny flavor tweaks

    I'm making a Jedi for Gen Con. As part of the process, I realized at 4th level, if an Eldritch Knight takes Warcaster and wears a shield, one could describe a mundane shield as a "magical shield of force" with minimal balance implications. It takes the same amount of time to doff/don and the...

    D&D 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen Maps

    Yeah, that may have crossed my mind. :D I can understand. And I'll look forward to an info you can post. And, like you said, it's hardly the first map with errors. It's still frustrating when the map is otherwise quite nice. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen Maps

    I understand you are upset. I didn't have any involvement with making the maps. I'm just trying to make sense of things. The artist has admitted to the Silvermoon/Silverymoon mistake, but not others. What is your explanation for this? Have you asked Ed Greenwood about Felbarr/Felbar recently...

    D&D 5E Morningstar info from GenCon?

    Yeah I'm excited about Gen Con, but not so excited that I've arrived 5 days early. :) Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen w/ Starter/Basic Rules Only

    As I recall, I lamented having to say "the basic rules" every time. Some people blow a gasket when it's called "Basic", because that's a different game. And I asked if anyone had a solution. BoldItalic suggested "5B", and I ran with it so much I've seen it attributed to me a couple of times. :)...

    D&D 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen Maps

    From Jared Blando, the artist: So there may be a possibility differences like the lack of an extra "r" in Felbar are intentional. Thaumaturrge.

    D&D 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen w/ Starter/Basic Rules Only

    It doesn't have backgrounds in it. It has a pretty cool page for tweaking backgrounds. There is a "Bond" chart to roll on in place of the bonds in the PH(B). There are also two "Optional Features" that replace the standard background features (Cult Infiltrator and Dragon Scholar). It is a neat...

    This is my schtick. Are we stealing schticks now? Because I can do a mean Mistwell full of big words and arguments and stuff. Just sayin'. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E What monster are you hoping to see in the 5B update?

    I...I've played since the mid 80s. I like weird monsters. And I missed this somehow. But it's awesome. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E What monster are you hoping to see in the 5B update?

    Picking modrons would be ridiculous, and I personally scoff at any who do for being detestable people who play the wrong game. modrons Thaumaturge.

    You forgot all alignments. Thaumaturge.

    Or they wanted the changes for brand reasons or something, which doesn't necessarily make it better. Thaumaturge.

    You get it, and it has some nice hidden compartments. But you owe a substantial amount of credits gold to a slothful crime lord in Skullport. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E Finally

    Dont have a book, but I'm making a suggestion anyway. Have the magical sword "treated like a pactblade by a warlock who wields it". This way they are always proficient. And can, I think, do neat stuff with it. But I haven't the foggiest about balance implications. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen Maps

    I think I'm going to put my soul in the "inconsistent spellings are a thing that happen in a world with spell-check, so they definitely happen in a pseudo-renaissance place like Toril" place. As long as I can tell what the place is supposed to be (Felbarr vs Felbar) I'm not too worried...
