    D&D 5E So…..is the Dungeon Master’s Guide strictly necessary?

    I would say that rules for creating new monsters is very important, for me anyway.

    D&D 5E Help me peg the CR for this villain

    Not sure why most of my post was eaten. Anyway, if you compare it to a Gynosphinx, it seems close enough to be similar, although the sphinx has legendary actions, so hence 1-2 CRs lower.

    D&D 5E Monster Manual and Players Hand Book Power Levels

    AC 83 would have been pretty hard to hit, even in 3.5 😜

    D&D 5E What can I teach a sorcerer?

    In another version of the mutant analogy, the mentor could teach the sorceror to use his innate powers better/more effectively, just as Prof X helps each individual X-men. /shrug

    D&D 5E If you're planning to run 5e, have you started a homebrew campaign?

    39 sessions here /flex 😉 Homebrew as usual.

    D&D 5E Really want access to DungeonScape

    My iPad runs for nearly 12 hours straight with the screen on all the time (I am the DM), when we have our marathon weekend sessions. Surely it should last a "normal" session with too much trouble.

    D&D 5E Evil parties that don't fall apart: ideas, suggestions, experiences?

    In the last 25 years, I have run two evil campaigns. First was about 20 years ago in 2e and lasted for perhaps 9-10 levels. It was an awesome campaign (according to my players anyway) right up until the end, when it imploded in interparty backstabbing and betrayals. The second campaign finished...

    D&D 5E So who is playing 5E?

    Playing 5e. We opted to continue the campaign we started during the playtest. Players just dinged 11th level and are entangled in 3 different plotlines. On one hand, they are helping their homeland repel attacks from various evil races while trying to find out who runs the show behind the...

    D&D 5E Where are the PDFs?

    That's because Morrus doesn't ban people. He has moderators to do that for him ;)

    D&D 5E Have you played 5E yet?

    Monk is in the PHB. Pretty certain of that.

    D&D 5E Player's Handbook Alpha *Spoilers*

    Does that mean you would buy and play 5e, if the two persons were not listed as consultants? Really?

    D&D 5E So it looks as if the mountain dwarf will still make the best overall wizard.

    My bad. I assumed that since he stated something else than what was in the official playtest, he was quoting the alpha, which I haven't read.

    D&D 5E So it looks as if the mountain dwarf will still make the best overall wizard.

    I think he is talking about the leaked alpha-playtest, which differs somewhat from the last official playtest.

    D&D 5E So it looks as if the mountain dwarf will still make the best overall wizard.

    Yeah. Not gonna change his character based on the alpha. Will just wait for the PHB. With that said, the permanent aura of disadvantage vis-a-vis melee attacks is a much bigger problem for me as a DM. Mostly because I use monsters that suit the "story", not because they can bypass annoying...

    D&D 5E So it looks as if the mountain dwarf will still make the best overall wizard.

    We are going by the last playtest packet. And yes, it's pretty much a must-have as it is - or was. We'll see if it has been changed.

    18 con, 6 hp at first, 4 hp per level afterwards and toughness.

    D&D 5E So it looks as if the mountain dwarf will still make the best overall wizard.

    Wizard in my campaign has 102 hit points at level 10. On top of that, he is an enchanter, so all melee attacks have disadvantage against him. It's nuts. I really hope Mearls wasn't wrong when he said he was pretty sure they had nerfed that ability.

    D&D 5E Official D&D Basic Discussion Thread

    Yes and no. It was in one or more of the older versions of the playtest. I for one am glad it is back.
