    D&D 5E Char Ops forums: Something I wish hadn't come over.

    I don't mind a Char Op forum (we already have one, anyway,) I just hope people get used to posting in the right forum for their subject as things settle down. I am not a huge min/maxer for whom DPR is god, but I'll definitely take a look at those forums when I am making to a new character...

    D&D 5E Status Quo Campaigns

    Interesting. I've never heard of a campaign labeled that way, but it makes sense.

    D&D 5E Status Quo Campaigns

    This type of campaign is usually called a "sandbox" campaign. The games I play in run the gamut from almost straight railroading to nearly complete sandbox. I prefer something in the middle, usually.

    D&D 5E Out of the Abyss in my grubby hands (pic attached)

    Was it a WotC Preferred store? They get them 2 weeks early. If not you'll have to wait until, I think, the 15th.

    D&D 5E Making a trickster

    I get that feeling playing sorcerer, too. The difference is that the wizard has more spells prepared at any given level (25 for wiz vs. 15 for sorc at level 20,) so he's actually more likely to have spell X when the need arises. Plus, if a wizard ends up in a situation where he didn't prepare...

    D&D 5E Making a trickster

    You know, Clerics (and Wizards) in 5e don't use a strictly Vancian model for spellcasting. In terms of spontaneous casting ability, they are basically Sorcerers with an option to switch their spells known every day (subject to limits of their respective spell lists and spell book.)

    OUT OF THE ABYSS Has Derro - Check Them Out!

    I think it's also possible that the book is separated into sub-adventures with level ranges, and this is an appendix only for the first low-level sub-adventure. I admit, having a bunch of appendixes strewn throughout would be a weird decision, but I guess it's possible. As others have...

    D&D 5E So what happened at GenCon with relation to 5th edition?

    Yeah, I was there. There 100 tables of D&D for the epic, but that was only a fraction of the board game room. I wasn't trying to imply that nobody was playing, just that the whole room wasn't D&D. The issue isn't that there weren't any players, it's that there was no support from WOTC, unlike...

    D&D 5E So what happened at GenCon with relation to 5th edition?

    That room was the board game room. D&D was only the 1/6th or so of the room closest to the camera-person, who seems to have been standing on the AL HQ platform. Compared to the last few years, the D&D was much less organized and impressive, and the WOTC presence was non-existent, apart from...

    D&D 5E What awesome thing happened in your game recently?

    HA! Good call deleting that spoiler, Shiroiken. It's me, the Vengeance Paladin from the first story, and I happened to search for your posts this afternoon while waiting for code to compile.

    D&D 5E Use Magic Device and wands

    Has there ever been an official ruling on whether UMD allows a rogue to use something like a Wand of Magic Missiles? This seems like a pretty typical use of the ability/skill from previous editions, but my reading of 5e disallows it. The ability in 5b states that it removes all class, race...
