Also the more + and specials on weapons, armour and suchlike the more expensive it is. The more expensive the longer it takes to make.

Nobody has mentioned good old fashioned bribery that I can see.

It would be interesting so see comments on UA rules after they have been used in play. Peoples perceptions may alter after using them. On all the UA articles I believe WOTC have said that they are playtest. Therefore they should be viewed as such.

When I DM I usually have 7 players therefore using a battlemap is often quicker and certainly easier than trying to recall everything. However, I have played TOTM in a small group, and it is fine with smaller groups.

It seems that there is no one right way to prep. Each DM has his own method. However I like looking at threads like this as there are often ideas that you can use or adapt. I have run sessions with no written prep, but with thought beforehand as to what the session is likely to bring up. If in...

I wondered who would notice that. Well done you have passed my test. :-) I stand corrected.

Good article. Interesting list of things to beware of when modifying classes, plus a new sub-class and a new class. Worth the wait.

Great write up and an interesting idea. Certainly needs careful planning, and refereeing. Will use this at some point.

If they are travelling from one known location to another known location you can simply say x number of days (weeks, so forth) have passed and you have arrived at your destination.

Three legged, one leg with a hoof, one leg with a foot, and one leg with a birds foot. Three arms, one with a hand, one with a flipper, and one with a paw. Four eyes, one humanoid, one snakelike, one feline, one birdlike. About as tall as a Halfling. With hair, or without. Has male...

My three reasons 1) The Rules cyclopdeia. A complete players handbook, dungeonmasters guide setting, and bestiary in one. 2) The Gazetteers. In depth of each country, very useable and adaptable. 3) The Hollow World. The barely explored other continents. Wrath of the Immortals boxed set...

To me the big thing with 5E is that the books are guidelines, with some of the guidelines being firmer than others. The rules are the DM and the consent of the players. One thing that helps to reign in players who want very liberal rulings on their characters powers is to say fine, but...

On the questions under the article somebody has asked about art, and they say do not send art as it lead to a disqualification.

The way I interpret the changeling is that it takes on the features of the humanoid it has seen. It does not change statistics. Therefore the more outlandish the humanoid it is attempting to replicate, the greater the chance of detection. This is before anybody tries any social interaction...

I don't see a particular problem. The Dragonborn have the resistance as a racial feature and it is permanently on. Whereas the sorcerer can choose to spend a sorcery point for the resistance. This gives the sorcerer the freedom to spend the point elsewhere. If I chose to play a dragonborn...

To date I have not purchased 3rd party material for D&D. That is not to say that I could not be persuaded.

To me it's likely that there would be at least a black market for magical items. The difficulty would be to access those markets. Having the right contacts would be of great help. Step forward the Criminal background. It would be interesting to make buying and selling magic illegal...

One thing seems obvious to me, when the free online release happens some people are going to be unhappy, some will be happy. At the end of the day WOTC has to make money or they will be closed down. I doubt that it will make money from the table top or online games only. The free online stuff...

A group of first level I DM'd for years ago came across a badger that was protecting it's young. A few rounds later 3 of the 6 characters were dead from critical hit after critical hit. (Could'nt fudge as dice rolls were in the open.) The rest were running away. Ever since the group has been...

Years ago in a game I DM'd, a character was seeking information in a run down part of the city. "Come over here boy, do you want a sweetie." He was assaulted by mothers wielding brooms, whilst a shout went up for the local mafia. He survived....just.
