Walking over to the chest Mindra hesitates before touching it. "Why do you seem to be so eager for us to look inside? Will any harm come from it?" She waits for Theremin to translate, watching the dragon closely to see if she can guess at the creatures intent. Assuming she can detect no ill...

What is the opinion on Bastion of Broken Souls? The level 18-20 adventure that came out as the final adventure for the original 3.0 adventures? I was thinking about updating it for 5e and giving it a try.

Oh absolutely. Having Elminster show up and throw around some 9th level spells to fix things sucks. But it is poor storytelling to introduce a person that is capable of saving the world easily, and then asking you to do it because they can't be bothered. Or in the case of published adventures...

This is the same as mentioned above where Thor or the rest of the avengers are mysteriously absent from a world altering event with no explanation given. The just-shrug-and-ignore-it excuse is extremely lazy writing and bugs me in comics, movies and any other media. One of the things about...

Mindra hears the words of the unknown person and looks in that direction. But otherwise she continues to remain on the defensive. So far no attack against them has been made. "Can anyone understand what is being said?" Mindra holds still, but is ready to take the Dodge action if attacked.

Mindra relaxes slightly. So far whoever was out there has not tried to harm them. Then jumps a little as Coriana's dark energy flies out at the unknown voice. "What is it you want?" Mindra asks in Elven. Mindra readies the Dodge action and will use it if she is attacked by anyone.

And I said that I have tried similar systems and they work. Just that they work slower. But somehow my play experience is not valid? The proposed system: Everyone decide on actions. Figure out what dice you need to roll based on your action and roll them. Figure out initiative scores. Start...

I think the idea is to go back to 4th edition powers. So yeah, GWM would be its own action, or power. Then you have the two weapon power, the flurry of blows power, the bonus spell/cantrip power, etc. And then you would just write each action/ability/power onto your character sheet, or have a...

Fine. Weasel out of it. ;) And personally I am not attached to the bonus action. I'm just not willing to get rid of it, just for the sake of getting rid of it. His current suggestion of "Just make a bunch if individual actions" doesn't sound like a good solution to me. Instead of learning a...

Ugh... Fine... :hmm: Again, I'm not saying that you are wrong here. Just that you could be, and then it will be up to you to eat your words. If you want to tell others they have to do something, then you should be prepared to do it yourself if you are wrong. Fair is fair.

After resisting the unnatural feelings caused by the yellow vapor, Mindra looks around, still unable to locate the source of the magic. She will circle around the bush and keep a look out above, suspecting a flying, and possibly invisible, opponent. For her action Mindra will sling her bow and...

Or they could come out with a new version that still uses the current initiative system and bonus actions and you will need to eat your words. Just sayin' it's possible. I mentioned in my own post that I could be wrong. But I might be right and you could be wrong. Or they could come up with...

One of the good things that Mearls has said in the past is that he recognizes that there are quite a few things that he thinks would be great for the game, but found out were not popular with the player base. So, even though he liked the rule or whatever, they left it out of the game. I think...

Currently you can preform any standard action and perform a Cunning Action as a bonus action. Your method would exclude everything but an attack. Your bonus action spell would exclude everything but an attack or cantrip. If you don't want to reduce the players options you still need standard...

I didn't read this whole thread, but I wanted to get my opinion out there. First, I don't care what anyone says, there is no way this is faster. I have played RPGs for over 30 years and have used a wide variety of initiative systems, including ones similar to what Mearls is suggesting, and it...

Wisdom save: 1D20+4 = [7]+4 = 11

Okay, I like this way of describing Corellon better. Well done. I'll use this. :)

No, my game is not suffering. I mentioned that I can just add what I need back in. I said it was annoying, which is far from a strong emotion. It's like sitting down at a table and realizing that someone moved your drink so it is out of reach. You may be annoyed, but you just go grab your drink...

I liked the recognition of more than just the traditional female/male genders in D&D. Since it is a real thing in the real world why wouldn't it be a real thing in a fantasy world? They might have gone a little overboard with the examples, I think just listing the various possibilities would...

Initiative: 1D20+4 = [2]+4 = 6
