Some fixes
Don't attempt these changes unless you are well versed in xls. I will not respond to any requests.
I have a guess that the same reason your spells don't show unless ALL is selected is the same reason Forest gnome didn't show unless ALL is selected.
Some Changes to 2.28b8. All...
Beta 8,
The traits for custom subclasses display the incorrect levels.
Note Cell C241 the vlookup the col_index_num of the formula should be looking at a cell 7 higher.
It is often a trope in fantasy settings that kingdoms and dynasties employ court wizards / sorcerers. In our world we assume that a high wizard is likely 5th level. It is also often a trope where the heroes have to deliver a secret message. Since the spell sending seemed far too convenient in...
I DMed a similar situation to yours. In the 5e Adventure "Out of the Abyss" as a DM you have lots of NPCs to help the party along early in the game. My party didn't have a rogue, so I decided to empower a few of the NPCs to make them last a little longer.
I had the NPC only gain a Hit Dice...
Good ideas from Harzel. But the barbarian should be back to his senses as soon as the simulacrum followed up with the Earthbind. I assume the Villain and the Simulacrum waited until the Barbarian was dealt with before engaging. Both spells Enemy Abound and Earthbind are concentration. The...
Ganymede81 has some good points in his post. You may be able to think around an encounter like this if you know it is coming.
Monsters don't have to play by the same rules as character creation. So that said these things may not work. But if the Villain is behaving like a player they may...
These are some of of the best way to Conceal doors. Also Trash covering trap doors or sewer entrances, in crypts stack corpses over doors. Basically just cover it with something that would be thematically reasonable. I have found the more it smells and is dirty the covering the more...
The small runs for figurines, is likely do to the materials the molds are made of. If they are using silicone molds they only hold up for so many copies.
Themes
Benefits and unique opportunities based on themes appear to be baked into the adventures. I.E. there are benefits/consequences in the adventures for being a particular theme.
Themes other than the Zeitgeist themes can be used within the campaign, but I don't believe that they receive...
When you said uzis, I gave a chuckle.
I thought of a few movies that featured some one going Guns Akimbo with machine pistols. (Think of the recoil)
Seriously, while machine pistols will likely be outside my campaign. It wouldn't be impossible for a shotgun style carbine.
Yes. Mage just has more and better fire powers in my opinion. Mage (Pyromancer) have a bonuses to fire damage as part of their class feature. Those class features are expected to stack with everything else.
You could let class features stack with other bonuses, that would go a long way...
With the proper feats, a Pyromancer can as good as a sorcerer, as long as it sacrifices the control. But i also feel that it has more "Fire" powers and allows you to build a caster with just fire.
If its fine for you and your friends, then don't worry about it as long as everyone is having fun.
I feel the same way. Certain classes will lose out, and Rogues and Warlocks will be come king. Adding additional dice and making those "dice" d8s instead of d6s will be the king of dps. Classes that rely on the stacking bonuses to keep up with those classes will fall out. Things like the...
What I want are more wondrous magic items. [Instant Fortresses, Opulent Cubes, Mirrors of Life Trapping, Beads of Force, ect.]
And the ability to make our own Magic items work with the DNDinsider Character builder would hit the spot.
Perhaps this is a "not as effective at level 1" issue.
The difference between hand cross bow and pistol damage (for one shot) is about 0.7 average damage at level one. High Crit makes it more difficult to judge the average damage. (Especially leaders often increase the chance critical hits...
