PCs would have no reason to use it normally. They would only use it when they already have disadvantage on a roll, in which case there's no downside. It might be fun as a "gotcha" item. No attunement, no per day requirement, no sense of what it does. PC flips it X number of times, and the...

I'm just surprised they would have announced the hardcover when some of the content is not even in the feedback phase, yet. The (two) latest artificer UA articles haven't even had a survey, yet.

Not a fan of the pets / animal companions. If the base wizard doesn't automatically get a familiar, why should the artificer? I would much rather see find familiar, reflavored as a mechanical construct (perhaps call it craft familiar) as an available spell. Then you could have a...

I love the revivify game. Cool way to introduce a Flatliners plot... Going through the spell lists... Definitely sleep. Phantasmal force. Blindness/deafness if you need to reduce distractions. Or at a carnival to heighten an auditory or visual experience. A psychiatrist that can cast...

My guess is #12 will actually be a two-parter.

Wayfarer's Guide to Eberron, and honestly not just because of the setting. I've been getting use and inspiration out of the Regrets, 200gp, Streets of Sharn tables, as well as the story building of the Starting Points section. The Races and Dragonmarks as well, of course.

The marks in no way are, or should be, equal. The powers of a halfling subrace are not strictly balanced with the powers of an elven subrace or a gnome subrace. You have to compare a PC halfling with the Mark of a Hospitality to a Human with the Mark of Making. When you then compare the total...

A little different from the Flaw system, but I remember hearing an approach that Keith Baker has taken before. His example was "Paranoid" where the character had a high bonus, +5 or +10 to Perception, something like that. The problem was, the DM would roll and something like 10% of the time...

Are you more interested in the adventures from Yawning Portal, or do you really like the framing device. One of the things I like about Eberron is the ability to movr easily and quickly from place to place, "redlining it," as it were. So eaxh adventure could be scattered throughout Eberron...

I love the idea of a race to the tomb against the Zhentarim. Not a fan of the one guy who happens to know the 400 year secret. How has it not been discovered/exploited in all that time? I prefer the Indiana Jones style mystery-puzzle with recently discovered artifacts, a la Raiders and Last...

This would actually be... dissapointing. From what I've been able to dig into so far, this is what a "Player's Guide" or intro to a Campaign Setting should be. This is the most newbie-friendly introduction to an unknown fantastical world I've ever seen - much more welcoming than the traditional...

So, after the briefest of quick readthroughs... Wayfarer's looks excellent, both as crunch for updating Eberron races and dragonmarks, but as a very friendly primer on the world. I have all the Eberron 3.5e and 4e books, yet the description of races, nations, and general life in Khorvaire...

Remember the "cost" for someone to cast a spell is never just the cost of the components. The material cost of a light bulb might be 10cents, but the supplier needs to pay for overhead, wages, distribution, loans, etc - all before even thinking about profit, which is why that light bulb might...

Magic items: mantle of spell resistance. Monsters: Magic resistance. advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effect. Abjurer 14th level feature Spell Resistance.

Another one hoping for Eberron! I neither need nor want a Campaign Setting. The source material we already have is superb. I would just like 5e rules for races/artificer/dragonmarks, packaged neatly in a globe-trotting pulp adventure.

After taking flight, the raven wheels at Olliver’s whistle, reinforced by Dangar’s arcane whispers. Surprisingly, the raven alights on Olliver’s shoulder and cocks its head. It takes a couple hops and stares at him intently, opening and closing its beak, as if asking for something. Gob and...

I can see it, both when logged out and logged in. Pretty nifty. New post progressing the thread will be up tomorrow. Charwoman Gene, are you still game? Any suggestions on posting etiquette? I like posting about 2x per week, but not everyone is responding as often. Should I be advancing...

Dangar: These are not trained animals, and the raven “doesn’t understand your language” (per the spell description). You can save your spell. Or, you can still cast it, and if the raven fails the save I will give advantage to the next Animal Handling check. Olliver: Animal Handling (Wisdom)...

The owl cocks its head to one side, then gracefully swoops down toward Trevor. It grasps a hold of his forewarm with sharp talons, sinking them deep into his skin as it settles in. It turns to face Trevor, ruffles its feathers, then remains still. Trevor, take (1d4-1) [1] damage. At the...
