If it were not for the 2 stirge per person rule, they would have been dead. 5 damage to latch on, then drain 10 per stirge... the 20 hp wizard would go down really fast. I agree that it was a generous ruling, but I'm not about to kill a group of PC's that fast over a fluke. But agree to your...

Basics: There are a couple of these floating around, but I had already started my own so I wanted to finish it out and submit for others to use as they see fit. You set up your party (and levels), then set up the monsters. It does all the heavy lifting for you! (including large party and small...

Well, the math is a little weird. 10 creatures at CR 1/4 (25xp) comes out to 250xp. Since there are 10 of them we use a 2.5 multiplier on top of it, for a total of 625xp budget. At level 1, this would be a deadly encounter without the surprise round. Level 2, medium encounter.. add in the...

Heh, fair enough. I didn't actually do the math. The Goblin damage is more variable, I suppose is probably what I really meant.

The XP multiplier (IIRC) is only for encounter building to judge difficulty. The multiplier doesn't get awarded as XP.

Playing Lost Mines of Phandelver last night with one of my D&D groups, and they got a random encounter of stirge. After playing this encounter, they have declared that stirges must be one of the strongest creatures in the game and are more fearful of them than any other creature to date. For...

So... anyone willing to do a Price Index on this one? ;)

+1 on this. I read the 5 Minute Workday review and found it super helpful and thought provoking. I don't think I would be nearly as critical as the author, but its some interesting bits to keep in mind for all DM's and the point of view is very well done. When people say "Bo0k iz trash", I know...

I actually didn't think they were that expensive for what they were, but I suppose comparing them to metal based mini's is an error on my part. The builder website works pretty well, even in my IE 11 browser. I'm curious about the "fragile and prone to breaking" part. It does say that they are...

Oh yeah, I totally understand the enjoyment of doing things. I wouldn't have done it in the first place if I didn't enjoy working on stuff like this. It was just a lot more work than I originally expected, and I wanted to dissuade others from taking the same path simply for the "cost savings" of...

I decided to make my own spell cards. Mostly because it was a slow day at work (Ok, slow week), but also partially because I was worried about the reports about the spell cards referencing the PHB a lot. The spell cards I made (using Magic Set Editor) are done in a 3x5 index card size to...

I think with frequent use I'll the hang of it, and trying hard not to just be "Change is bad!!!" kinda guy. I agree with Toriel, dates will be more important with this kind of layout.

Huh. I stand corrected! .. gf9 Your online shopping experience is annoying and confusing. ;)

@Morrus Your GF9 link on the front page is a bit... misleading... ;)
