    D&D 5E Have you calculated your PC's CR?

    Maybe so, but I bet his insurance premiums are killer!

    D&D 5E Why should I allow Multiclassing ?

    I think you're getting hung up on labels, steeldragons. IMO, the mechanics are there to be used and refluffed in service of a character's story, not the other way around. It's just grabbing from several classes in order to exactly create the "template" for your vision, which is a lot less...

    D&D 5E Have you calculated your PC's CR?

    I don't have my books handy so I can't start us off myself, but I'm curious if anyone has yet done this. If so, what did you get? And does the result seem reasonable to you?

    D&D 5E Why should I allow Multiclassing ?

    There seem to be two different (but related) concerns here. 1) Dipping classes is fodder for Min-Maxers. 2) Going deep in another class makes for weaker characters than single class PCs. As to the first: Perhaps. I'm not sure the theoretical increase in power is actually much to be worried...

    D&D 5E Dungeonscape Lives!

    Not always. I've seen several campaigns that were headed for failure back out of the kickstarter, scale back their expectations (and goals), and then re-launch successfully.

    Mearls announces end of Legends & Lore & New D&D Columns in 2015!

    @astrosicebear I would argue that the official web site doesn't do much for any of those three concerns. Oh, it certainly HELPS, I'm sure, but I'm dubious as to cost (both in money and time)/benefit. In my mind, it's kind-of like the official website for Frito-Lay. They have to have one...

    Mearls announces end of Legends & Lore & New D&D Columns in 2015!

    Why do they need pageviews? They have no ads on their site with which to generate click-income.

    D&D 5E Why should I allow Multiclassing ?

    Your reasoning for this isn't clear to me. Care to elaborate?

    D&D 5E Why should I allow Multiclassing ?

    I allow multiclassing for one reason: It allows characters to grow organically. Maybe when you started out, you didn't envision yourself playing a multiclass character. But during the course of play it has become apparent that your fighter has a penchant for sneaky tactics and the thieves'...

    Mearls announces end of Legends & Lore & New D&D Columns in 2015!

    Weekly was probably too much to ask for, but I was kind-of hoping for it anyway.

    D&D 5E What is WotC working on now?

    And I always assumed they were just talking about converting PCs from earlier editions.

    Announcing the BAMFSIES - a RPG awards focused on superhero RPGS

    If nothing else, investigating the top votes on the BAMF site has led me to purchase a few more products. So... yay for building the industry!

    Announcing the BAMFSIES - a RPG awards focused on superhero RPGS

    I'm a huge fan of Supers RPGs. And I'd love to run one, but all my attempts to entice players so far have resulted in a resounding "Meh." I retain hope that it'll happen someday.

    D&D 5E The Sun Blade is a Lightsaber?

    Brilliant energy. The weapon type in 3.X was brilliant energy. Sorry. That was bothering me.

    1) Doppelganger 2) Another of Drizzt's kin come to the surface to do good, but accidentally set her own hair on fire and got kidnapped (at the same time) and is otherwise having a real bad day. 3-12)???

    D&D 5E Should Power Word spells be a bonus action?

    Healing Word is a bonus action (as I recall), so there's some precedent for "word" spells to be so.

    D&D 5E The Sun Blade is a Lightsaber?

    Picking nits... That would be the sunsword. Is there a difference between the sunsword and the sun blade?

    D&D 5E Running Eberron in 5E

    I would welcome an artificer class that was rebuilt from the ground up, personally. Previously, they have always had (IMO) a little too much inherited from the wizard. A new system designed just for them? Heck yes. I always felt that the infusions were just reskinned wizard spells anyway...
