I was unaware that 5e did away with encumbrance, as the OP suggests. Actually, there are weights and encumbrance rules in the PHB. There are rations listed in the price list in the PHB. I track rations. I track encumbrance as well. In fact, I even list weight on the my treasure chests. That...

I have a Labyrinth Lord module I am converting to 5e. I do not have the LL book/s. Does anyone know a good replacement out of the 5e MM for a Bone Golem?

Ooh..very helpful!

Ah, thank you. I looked in the index and saw nothing. It did not occur to me to check the equipment list. Thanks!

I do not see poison types or cost in the PHB. I see nothing about it at all. I would expect to see it there if it was common. So I assume it is covered in the DMG. Is it covered I the DMG? I have the book, but I do not have it with me. I have some time today to try to figure out how to...

I thought so. Good to see you on another forum! I did a long stint with C&C after the edition wars and Necro dried up. The editing is so bad in the books and endless re-re-releases of the same old tired material drove me to give 5e a shot. Glad I did too! Good to see you again! Cheers. I am...

Are you the same Simon from the Necromancer Games forums? Wilderlands gave it away.

Thanks dude! DMG pg 272 did the trick.

Ok, I know I had the answer to this but can't find it now. A PC fires into melee so his allies are cover. But you miss can you hit allies? Where is it covered in th PHB or DMG?

Ha, it appears that way. I am looking for ideas. Sometimes I place great published adventures in locations that make sense from a world-building point of view, but sometimes the PC's never find that corner of the world. I just wondered how many DM's do that but keep the more fluid type...

My use of status quo means that I do not run around just ahead of the PCs sizing thing and balancing it for them. Dragons stay where they are. Orcs as well. My world evolves and is very much a huge sandbox. Judges Guild invented sandbox. What I mean is that I do not balance encounters. The...

This is more or less what I am calling status quo. The world is there and populated. I do not run that world on some timeline and move it all forward. I let the payers interact with it, which then sets things in motion that may or may not have a big effect on something far away. Clearing a...

This. This is how I roll. The sandbox changes and is affected even at low level by every thing the PC's do. The locations remain but the circumstances do change.

I have always run a status quo campaign. What I mean is that I place adventures in locations that make sense right from the beginning and then flow the campaign, clues, story line around those areas but allow the players to just jump in and do what they may with their NPC's. I do not move...

Hm. In that case, a scroll scribed as gifts or as items traded or bartered, knowing they will be used by non-casting folk, would be made as "scrolls". Then scrolls made for personal use may be "spell scrolls". Which in my opinion would have less value on the market. Assuming such a market...

Agreed, it has been a good discussion.

After having read everything I can find on scrolls/spell scrolls and then taking time to ponder the meaning; now I have another question. I looked and found only one “scroll”. It is the protection scroll that just anyone can attempt to use if they can read. So if you miss your INT check, then...

Nice description. I like the meal metaphor. I got home and read all of the sources in the PHB and DMG. I get it now. There may have been a better way for Merls and his team to have consolidated all of that into one space. In the index you have look up spell scroll not just scroll. That is...

True, but I want to give this a go with RAW before home-brew-ruling anything. At the moment I am confused as to how the rules are presented differently depending on what page you are on. Once I get home and can see the books and read the pages listed above, I can decide if it makes sense and...

I guess I missed all of the "spell scroll" references when I read all of this. I do not recall reading anything that said Spell Scroll. So far, the only example has been a scroll of protection. Are there others? And if not, why didn't the rules just say scrolls of protection? So tell me...
