    D&D 5E B1: In Search of the Unknown (IC)

    Thedren opened his eyes as the noise of the crowd reached him. His meditation interrupted, he glanced at the source of the commotion. Several people were gathered around the public boards, and there appeared to be a new posting. Apparently, it was generating quite a bit of discussion. His...

    That could work, then. Thedren left the monastery about a year ago. He and Laron could have been acquainted at the monastery. They both have a similar Ideal, believing in the power of stories, legends, and songs. Perhaps they have a shared interest in old tales and songs? Since Thedren is...

    Which monastery are we referring to; the first one or the second one (where the misfits were assigned)? He was at the first one when he was ten, and left there after 4 years. He spent twenty years at the next one.

    D&D 5E Mage armor and A shield

    Considering that WoTC uses RAW vs RAI vs RAF to help explain rules issues, it has a very real bearing in 5e. Considering that RAW forms the basis for decisions in Adventurer's League play, it has a very real bearing in 5e. You can ignore RAW in your home game, but then your interpretation has...

    D&D 5E Mage armor and A shield

    Our group doesn't allow this combo, not because it 'breaks' the game or the concept, but because the RAW doesn't allow for it, and we agree with the RAW. There are 3 places (in our opinion) that contradict the use of the shield with Mage Armor: - p144, PHB: "Armor Class (AC). Armor protects...

    [UPDATED] WotC Gives You Some Official 5E Modern Armor!

    Metal on metal *clinks*. Or *squeaks*. Having worn the IOTV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improved_Outer_Tactical_Vest) with full plates front, back, side, and groin, you can move as silently as your feet can carry you. It doesn't make noise on its own, and only the gear you've attached to it...

    D&D 5E So,whats up with those half orcs?

    I've played a Half-Orc Champion. It was awesome when the crit triggered on a 19. But that only happens an extra 5% of the time. Most of the time, he was up front, swinging away with his 2H axe bellowing "Hassan Chop!" (XP if you get the reference) I never had to use the Relentless Endurance...

    I hadn't really thought on the Monastic Tradition, since that's not until 3rd level. But just to keep things simple, I'll go with the Way of the Open Hand and Healing Light monastery.

    I'm thinking a lightfoot Halfling monk. Any specific monastic orders in your setting? Edit: Sorry, got crossed on races and classes under consideration, and couldn't read my own chickenscratch. Make that a Wood Elf Monk.

    Smiteworks, Are you looking at future possibility of 'detaching' the character generator from the VTT, so that a person can just subscribe or purchase only character creation tools?

    5E - Thoul

    If you compare the Ghoul's stats to the MONSTER STATISTICS BY CHALLENGE RATING table on p274 of the DMG, it has an offensive CR of 1 (based on 9 damage/round for the bite) and defensive CR of 1/8 (based on 22 HP). However, the damage and condition immunities (poison, charmed, exhaustion...

    D&D 5E Is Anyone Using Variant Encumbrance?

    10 STR is human average, not soldier average (at least not 20th century soldier). Most soldiers today, given the physical fitness regimen, would range in the 12-16 range, with a few truly exceptional standouts (18). However, even at 12 STR, a soldier is encumbered at a 60-119lb load. I'll...

    D&D 5E Is Anyone Using Variant Encumbrance?

    I hate to be the one to bring reality into a fantasy game... The US Army Field Manual states that a soldier's load should not be more than 60 lbs. And studies have found that loads in Afghanistan often range 90-100 lbs. Soldiers are complaining about the weight, that it causes slower reaction...

    D&D 5E Researching Magic Item "recipies"

    Another option is to make the recipe part of the treasure gained in an adventure. We know the basic values of each rarity (100/500/5000/50000/500000), so the recipe could replace an equivalent amount of gold & gems. Of course, there's still the need to find the exotic materials....
