    My Sword Coast Legends First Impressions

    Zaruthustran - I'm fairly certain I've seen far larger numbers than 50.000 for the PHB sales. I think 500.000 would be closer to the real number, and some groups (including my own of 7 people) have only 1 PHB. There's plenty of sales to be made by D&D'ing it up. Besides, the way they would make...

    My Sword Coast Legends First Impressions

    I'm talking about how it plays, not just the story. I agree that the story in the campaign is a lot closer to Dragon Age, and while you can compare the actual gameplay mechanics (skilltrees, cooldowns, etc.) it's not really the same thing, since Dragon Age isn't a classic isometric game. It's a...

    My Sword Coast Legends First Impressions

    I think that's what the devs figured as well, but I think they're mistaken. Firstly, the game was intensively marketed on pages like this one, and on WotC's own page, in the Dragon+ magazines, and so on, and so on. This will draw MANY people expecting a game build on 5E D&D (which was what was...

    My Sword Coast Legends First Impressions

    I played a few hours during headstart. When I first heard that the game would feature cooldowns instead of rest periods, I was disappointed, but not put off. I can live with that. Then I found out that it would feature skill trees, instead of class features, I was put off, but decided to still...

    Rebalancing Feats - input appreciated

    I am aware of that, but I think it's nonsensical. It's called Crossbow Expert, for crying out loud. If there's a void for not having disadvantage in close quarters while ranged, I'd rather have an entirely new feat for that. 'Point Blank Combatant' or similarly, like 3.5. But is the option...

    D&D 5E MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools

    I put something towards a beer for you! :) I have an issue now, however. If I choose the 'hide all fields' option under print, it removes all the graphics, including the entire ability section. Both with an empty sheet, and when some of it is filled out. I'm not sure if it's my Adobe or if it's...

    D&D 5E MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools

    Wow - not only are you open to suggestions, but you work fast as well. Do you take donations - I feel like you deserve a small something for the amount of effort put into this! Thank you either way!

    D&D 5E MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools

    Not quite, I want to either input my own value in the how-much-i-can-carry fields (without blanking the rest of the sheet) or just having them blank.

    Rebalancing Feats - input appreciated

    I agree. I shouldn't have posted those ratings - they weren't well enough thought out, and took attention from the real purpose. You are right about GWM and Sharpshooter. I had not witnessed them at high level play, and was seeing only the consequences at low-mid level play. I've changed it...

    D&D 5E MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools

    I absolutely love this sheet. Its fantastic. I had, though, some questions: - Is there any way to not have it auto-calculate AC? I like to fill out everything that reasonably would not change until I level up (Abilities, skills, features, feats, etc.) but not fill in attacks and armor. It makes...

    Rebalancing Feats - input appreciated

    I can see the point you're making and I do appreciate comments on the current balance of the feats. I've also taken CapnZapps comments into account. But, since my goal is not to rate everything correctly, but to balance it correctly, I would appreciate input on not only my (subjective) ratings...

    Rebalancing Feats - input appreciated

    Good points, and I can see that some of my ratings might be off. But they are only guidemarks - it's the changes that are the point here, not putting a rating on the feats. I'm not trying to create a rating system, I'm trying to look at the feats and ask myself - is this feat worth taking? And...

    Rebalancing Feats - input appreciated

    Great! I'm going for small changes initially, because I actually want (and have, to a degree) to implement these feats as houserules in my campaign. I feel that 5E is a great ruleset, but it has some balance issues on items and feats in particular (where some items/feats are either must-haves or...

    Rebalancing Feats - input appreciated

    I've attempted to rebalance the feats in the Player's Handbook. Some of them were too strong, some too weak, and others inappropriately interpreted. I've tried to keep the changes as simple as possible, as to not complicate the rules more than possible. I've included notes under each feat and...

    D&D 5E About Bonus action attacks and shove.

    I don't think you're exactly right. PHB, page 195: "Two-Weapon Fighting When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand." So, if...
