Good to know, thanks!

Any 5E To Slay a Dragon news? In the Kickstarter comments, Morrus mentioned that a 5e version of TSaD would be appearing in EN5ider (in installments). Any news or timeline on that? Any chance of playtest materials for the first bit? I'm starting my 5e campaign in Holdenshire this weekend. ;)

I just realized that in the first sentence of Morrus' original post, this 5E adventure *doesn't* have the word "the" in the title. :p

The way it works is, my email provider uses a service (barracudacentral.org) that provides lists of IP addresses that have a "bad reputation" (are known major sources of spam), and blocks email from those IP addresses. They can't stop using that service just for my account. It appears that...

Per my sysadmin, enworld (technically, maybe its cyberstreet) is being blocked by one of their blacklists, barracudacentral. This is presumably affecting other people, whose email providers use the same blacklist. Here's the info they provided: It appears as though the email was blocked by...

I'm subscribed to this thread, but I haven't gotten any emails. Using the "Email this thread" tool to email to myself also didn't result in any emails received. Nothing in the spam folder, and I've whitelisted enworld.org. For whatever reason, emails from here just don't seem to be reaching me.

Thanks! Was there something wrong with my account, or is ENworld just unable to email to my address for whatever reason?

Still no confirmation email, still nothing in my Spam folder, still stuck in "users awaiting email confirmation" group. Have clicked the link to resend the email a couple more times since Friday. Allen

Hi, I noticed today that my profile still had an obsolete email address, so I changed it about an hour ago. However, I have yet to receive a confirmation email, so I'm still stuck in the "users awaiting email confirmation" group. I've clicked on the "resend email" link a couple of times. Do...

Fair enough. It does seem odd to leave even the "movers and shakers" that the PCs are likely to interact with unstat-ed, though. Folks like the local nobles, the Sherrif, the priestess (whose spell capacity at least seems likely to be frequently relevant), the bard, the local wizard, the...

The NPC descriptions and pictures are nice, but, both for DMing convenience and for that "old-school" feel, I was expecting at least a class/level/alignment line for each NPC in Hengistbury, perhaps even a short statblock. Is anything like that forthcoming, either officially or user-created?

Although, per a (non-SRD) example in the Player's Handbook, an Empowered Magic Missile does (1d4+1)x1.5 damage. But I don't know if a "+ per caster level" would also be multiplied.

To further clarify: If I'm not mistaken, if the number was 1d6+(caster lvl/4), the "1d6" would be multiplied by 1.5, but the "(caster lvl/4)" would not.

I'm taking more and more seriously the Minilla/Minya theory that I first read on the Giant in the Playground forums. The only thing that doesn't fit is a lack of smoke rings, and maybe he just hasn't tried to use his breath weapon yet. Next strip might be a good time. ;)

Gallagher is also a Strength painter. ;)

That's when you paint with *other* people's blood. :cool:

I tend to assume otherwise. The MM/SRD tend to treat adding levels and adding HD as completely separate for most purposes. Compare the Hound Archon to the Hound Archon Hero, and the Aboleth to the Aboleth Mage. Their (Su) and (Ex) ability DCs are adjusted for their changed stats, but not for...

You're welcome. Note that spell-like ability DCs don't follow this pattern, but are instead based on the spell level and stat modifier (usually Charisma), just like real spells. Their Caster Level arguably might go up with increased HD, though.

Or you could use the aforementioned percentages from the 1st Edition MM: "The body of a beholder represents 75% of potential hit area, the central eye and the eyestalks 10% each, and the 10 small eyes 5%."

Supernatural (and sometimes Extraordinary) save DCs going up 1-for-2 with HD is a poorly-documented rule, but I think it's official. I welcome correction or confirmation from posters with more monster-advancement experience. The SRD (and Monster Manual) section on "Special Abilities -...
