I would certainly say she is the best writer amongst them at the moment, however I don't actually find her books very 'D&D' like at all. Light on combat and adventure but heavy/strong on politics and character. They are also a fantastic source of Forgotten Realms lore and I like they way she...

Its is true that it has been mentioned as a problem for casters - as you say. What isn't true is that it is a problem for most people. I doubt they would change it if they releases any updates. I would be unhappy if they did since I like it as it is. Playing a caster with low con and no feat btw...

Surely a paladin attacking a prone opponent is against the rules? ;-)

I am hoping that the four prophets and temples are relatively self contained adventures so I can run maybe one of them. We have a few mid level characters kicking their heels in Faerun that could use a good dungeon adventure. I very much doubt we will go back and start at level one to play them...

Well after 5th the next big level that helps define the class seems to be 11th. Its at this point fighters get their 3rd attack, barbarians ignore death, paladins weapons glow with radiant power and the casters all get their 6th level spells. That seems to be a good level to claim the full name...

Its kind of 4e lite. Very much based on the 4e rules but a bit simpler without the need for a DM

Hmm, my cleric had it prepared for 3 levels and never found a good reason to cast it once. I was looking for an opportunity since we are still kicking the wheels of 5e but found the fact its no longer a mobile spell pretty limiting. Certainly no good for helping the party sneak about and the...

Yeah good points. I kind of threw it in as a casual example but it does require good timing. We use a round tracker so we always know the best target as far as timing but its not usually the best target as far as who to take out quickly. Works well with a rogue and a readied action I suppose.

While I believe some spells probably should require concentration that do and also the DC is a bit hard at low levels, or without feats or a better AC or CON (all of wizards especially struggle with), in general it works well for me I have been playing a cleric up to 7th level and the...

Yeah. I hope they give us something more exotic and less generic. How about an adventure in Mulhorand to see what happened with the Imaskari and Egyptian gods, or Rashemen with all the witches and beserkers.

Well it has similar themes - being about a cult that worships elemental evil but from the description it looks like four individual dungeons/temples each dedicated to one of the princes of evil. And they are set in the realms The original was a single dungeon dedicated to elemental evil in...

So far it doesn't appear to be at all related to the Greyhawk temple of elemental evil. Some people are assuming Tharizdun will be in it in some form. Maybe, and if so maybe it does connect with Greyhawk. But maybe it won't but even if it does, more has probably been written about Tharizdun...

Hmm, I find it a hard DC to make. My cleric gets +1 CON save so fails pretty much half of the time. Lucky to keep a spell going more than two rounds. To be honest so far I have found bless and the like pretty average

In the end its what most long distance overland journeys are like and you need to use the normal techniques to keep things interesting. So a few interesting encounters, scenery, locations and people will all help. I have played this section and it was fairly enjoyable We had some light...

Nah, that's what the mule is for - distraction

I think you could go a bit lighter on the torches which weigh a pounds each but its still pretty heavy. If you were doing some overland 'exploring' I guess you would want much of this stuff but I'd assume you would often put it on a horse or mule. If you entered a dungeon wouldn't you leave most...

Nice to see some higher level adventures straight off the bat so existing AL characters can take a short trip over the Moonsea and begin a new storyline in Mulmaster

Lots of great ideas in this thread - its my favourite type of play. Just one thing to add that has worked really well in some of our campaigns. Just because there is no major plotline to follow there can certainly be a strong campaign theme. Two of our best campaigns have been based on the...

Something I have found with skills in 5e is that trying something you aren't training in is still well worth doing. We've got fighter sneaking, druids climbing, everyone noticing stuff with perception. The DC's are spot on to allow everyone to have a go whereas in the last couple of editions I...
