I was playing with the sheet earlier today (on another PC, unfortunately). The Barbarian Totem Warrior allows you to select the final Totem Animal at Level 10, however there is a different ability granted at L10 in the PHB, and the last Totem choice is granted at Level 14.

Trickery Clerics get arguably the most broken spell in the book right now: Pass Without Trace. +10 on Dexterity (Stealth) checks for a number of people? That's my heavily armoured Fighter sneaking up to the Lizardfolk Tribe, then. And by Vecna! Give this bonus to the Elf Rogue, he's rolling...

Sounds like the Crow/ Imp should be about making the Warlock's sister get into trouble - she is an agent of a Deity, after all. Maybe the Crow "accidentally" gives away her position in an ambush, calls her nearer to the Bad Guys when the warlock is about to unload an Area of Effect bomb, or gets...

Based on what I've heard in the Reviews here, I was kind of keen to get it. If I want to play this in my version of Greyhawk, it will mean reconfiguring, because "my" Hommlet and surrounding area won't have "their" elemental dungeons in it. And that might mean more work to port things about than...

And there's the rub... my PC's are running round Hommlet right now, as I frantically try to keep one step ahead of them converting Temple of Elemental Evil up to 5th Ed. Trying to shoe-horn PotA into that space now would certainly not work. See - right there I know that right now, it won't fit...

It's great that the new Prices of the Apocalypse adventure book has notes for playing the scenario on Greyhawk. What riles me is that, given that the book has a lot of "gazetteer" entries about the FR (default setting for the adventure), without buying the book, I can't tell how much of that...

I'm at work and can't check right now, but Frog God Games (prop. B. Webb) might have a messageboard attached to it. Certainly, Necromancer Games (from which Frog God Games sprang) had a board, which might still be active, and which Bill would frequent. You could look there and link your blogs...

Published adventures are great, but it's rare that as a DM, I run them word-for-word. Running Into the Wilds as the intro to a 3.5E campaign a few years ago, I changed the villain in the first dungeon, modified the "base of operations" town to suit, and put window dressing into the dungeons to...

Chap I knew years ago loved RuneQuest for much the same reason - that a Rune Lord surrounded by a pack of angry ducks could still get taken out, very, very easily.

My players just hit 2nd Level. After a week of heavy role-playing in Hommlet, and a chat with Lord Rufus about the missing dwarf, Gudrun, they decided to head out to the Moathouse, where the dwarf is believed to have been taken. The Gnome Diviner sent his Owl Familiar to overfly the Moathouse...

Perhaps The Guv'Nor could organise a contest. Write a set of Conversion Guidelines, whoever gets closest to what eventually sees light of day wins EN5ider for a month. Or something similar. Heck, I'm busy converteering T1-4 flying by the seat of my pants. It might not look pretty, but it will...

I did this back in the day: my 2nd Edition AD&D game featured a sword called Flamebreaker. It was +0 to hit, but still counted as a magical weapon, gave protection against fire, and did double damage against Flame Elementals. It took the party quite a while to cotton on that it was +0, and the...

Although in my World of Greyhawk timeline, we are post-Wars, the events of module T1-4 haven't happened yet, so the players will be enjoying The Temple of Elemental Evil. We are three sessions in and they have defeated the Goblins plaguing the road from Veluna (thanks to Lost Mine of...

If the Druid didn't get an Inspiration Point for that wonderful piece of chicanery, then please let him have one at the start of the next session. It was a genius piece of role-playing.

I downloaded this yesterday and played with it a little. There are a couple of little oddities which I found. - The Bardic Class power "Font of Inspiration" appears as "Fond of Inspiration" - a minor type. - I created a Fighter/ Champion, but the maneuvers available to the Battle Master were...

I used the Goblin Arrows section of Lost Mine of Phandelver as the intro to the 5E conversion of The Temple of Elemental Evil we just started playing. The PC's beat the ambushing Goblins, and managed to get a survivor to lead them to the Cragmaw hideout. In a fit of inspiration, the Gnome...

They have the usual fun "small print" bit on page 2.

That was exactly the sort of thing I meant.

I'd like to see more paths for characters as they advance in level: more Warlock Pacts, Cleric domains, Rogue Archetypes, etc. There doesn't feel like there is enough yet. Failing that, The Book of Villains & Allies - NPC's of lots of levels, fully statted, who can be adversaries or aids to...

On the outskirts of the canyon, an undead warlock has ancient artifacts for sale. One of these is a piece of the Wall, which says "None shall die lest by my command." The last four words have been covered over with dirt and mud. Those words are partly responsible for the warlock's undead...
