I agree. What the heck were they thinking when they wrote that index? I'm not asking for awesome indexes(indices?) that actually are like a glossary/index hybrid with some terms having their definitions right there, but I don't want to constantly get redirected to another part of the index. :/

Definitely. I kept trying to find if there was any rulings anywhere by Mearls et al since I remember at the beginning of the edition, but yeah I remember the whole two handed thing only being applicable when you attack. So I guess rulings by Mearls or anyone are unnecessary. I don't know. I...

I was talking about in my recent AL character thread about the possibility of playing an EK/Wizard of some variety, but I also know people mention Paladin/Sorcerer sometimes as well. Admittedly multiclassing combos are one of my weaker areas of knowledge outside the really obvious ones like 1...

That's not bad then. I'll probably most likely go Human variant Str/Int and probably go Polearm Mastery. If I was expecting to get up to at least level 6 as a Wizard(which is unlikely since I'm jumping ship to Curse of Strahd the VERY SECOND it's AL legal because I LOOOOOOAATTHE OotA with a...

5e is a great edition but I wouldn't say it's the best edition. Then again "best edition" is completely subjective based on the person doing the grading.

I was thinking on what to do for EK and some thoughts came up: 1) If I go Human variant and pick Fighter as my first class then I can't grab Warcaster which means I can't really make good use of the Shield spell for a long time while also using a great weapon or polearm. 2) Which leaves me in...

What would recommend for level order for Eldritch Knight/Wizard? If I like it in play here then I'll probably go for it again when next season starts in like a month and a half. Which school/subclass for Wizard do you think? Which race? I was considering Human Str/Int EK/Wizard for either...

I was thinking just a bit ago, what about a one-third caster/full caster multiclass? Like EK/Wizard or AT/Wizard? How do those work out? Edit: Ugh! I forgot how max levels stack for spells known/prepared. :/

I don't know. I'm not a fan of those bonus spells nor am I fan of those domain features. How hard is it to set yourself up your own sneak attack? Two of my team mates are gish-y but I've seen them go pure ranged/casting for certain fights and pure melee for others. I could probably do a...

I agree. I much prefer the non-3.X methods of multiclassing. I wish they would have brought in 2e multiclassing or 4e hybridization.

I made a post a few weeks ago asking for advice on making a character to play with my best friend/room mate in AL that would help her character shine. Eventually I realized that a 90 minute one-way commute to AL every week was not happening for her(I'm already at that LGS when 6pm rolls around)...

Wayne Reynolds, William O'Connor, and Eva Widermann all did amazing work. I really wish they would have rehired them instead of these new artists. I'm glad they changed it to special-snowflakes-save-the-world or whatever. That's much better than playing fantasy-Oceans-Eleven or...

I can definitely see that. Also when I'm trying a new character it's often when I find out whether my new character's concept works greatly or falls flat. :P

My roommate and her girlfriend RP occasionally on WoW. I got into WoW for 40 man raids because I enjoy grouping up together with friends to kill monsters and steal their treasure and, at the time, WoW let me be an elf hunter who teamed up with warriors, mages, rogues, etc and cooperate in...

I might, but I was considering seeing if I could find some people in the Lansing area who like 4e and maybe running a game if I did much of anything(I have a ton of materials from back in the day when I had more of a disposable income). My friend has been heavily let down by 5e as her first real...

If we're going to focus on remaking stuff that old farts like, then can we finally get the 2e campaign settings updated at least?

The wargamer side of me is okay with long but mechanically engaging combats. Back when I played miniature games(Warmahordes, 40, WHFB), playing three to five 1-2 hour games in a day was definitely a thing. Back when I was in Iraq in 2008-2009, I spend the entire year playing PbP forum PvP games...

God darn it! I was like 45 minutes late because of how long my commute was(I missed school to get internet turned on today in our new apartment) and me and my roommate got there too late to get a spot. My roommate can't stand the over an hour long one-way commute and my class schedule has me...

Doing a backflip off a chandelier to land and stab an orc versus walking up and saying "I attack" are definitely differences in flavor, but ultimately both are pretty much mechanically the same darn thing. You can describe the differences however you want but both are 1d20+5 attack for 1d8+3...

I do the same thing with 4e powers though. I describe how Mind Lock caused a bandit's head to inflate and explode in a very Scanners-esque way. I use Living Missile to lift my dwarf friend up and toss him through a window to get access to the second floor of a locked building. I describe how I...
