Yeah, I wasn't overwhelmed by the information on the 5E Realms in the Sundering Series. And so I am really looking forward to the SCAG!

Well I read CC I and II, and yesterday I finished listening to CC III: Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf. I really didn't like CC 0: The Companions (I know many people did!). I really liked CC I. I liked CC II. I didn't like CC III. Hm... This leaves me a bit confused. When I started to prepare...

This sounds great! To make Phandalin the base was also my plan, but to be honest I somehow had to tie my players to the town by making one of them Sheriff, and another one (the dwarven cleric) was approached by the dwarves who rushed back to town when it was known that WEC was discovered, to...

We finished LMoP last saturday after 20 sessions of wonderful adventuring! Although about 5 sessions focused mainly on a side trek about the party's wizard catching lycanthropy from a wererat prostitute back in Neverwinter. It was great! The initial plan was to check out the new edition and...

If Drizzt is on an encounter table, are there stats for him in OotA as well? (Sorry if I overread it!) I don't plan to incorporate him in my game, but I am just curious.

This sounds perfect! Thank you very much, MerricB. (Can't wait for tomorrow!!!)

Yeah! Thanks for sharing!! Your item is quite streamlined to slay trolls with its two minor properties. Perhaps I would add a stronger quirk or intensify the current by adding something like I did with the Spider Staff of my LMoP-campaign: Quirk: Wicked. When the bearer is presented with an...

Yes, I got the feeling resistance to necrotic damage is overpowering the item (I had in mind), even despite the quirk as Psikerlord pointed out. I fear granting resistance as a reaction / short rest could complicate game play, as some other great ideas. To balance it with a vulnerability to...

Okay, ... WOW!!!

So many great suggestions!!! Definitely renaming the shield Shadowguard. Thanks, Zaran! Before reading from you, I made up the follwoing: Minor Property: Shadowguard. The bearer of this shield has necrotic damage resistance, as long as he stays out of sunlight. Quirk: Truthspeaker. The bearer...

That sounds super nice!! To be honest I used the table not rolling on but picking from and adding my own ideas. And of course: it is Talon. That error came from translating back and forth from English to German (the language we play in) to English! Just edited my original post.

Yes, that's what I thought, too. I tried to counter this with the Truthspeaker Quirk. It developed from the background of the item. It was given to the dwarven cleric of moradin (on level 4) by his fellow member of the Order of the Gauntlet Daran Edermath. The half-elf adventured on the Dragon...

Oh, yeah! Here is my take on some of the items found in LMoP: TALON (+1 longsword) Creator: Dwarven. The dwarven Clan Goldhammer created this longsword for House Tresendar in the Spellforge of Wave Echo Cave. History: Bane. The orcs of the Sword Mountains hated Claw and still tell stories of...

To begin with I have to admit that I really looove the table on the pages 142-143 of the 5E-DMG! That being said, a dwarven cleric in my game got a +1 shield and giving most of the "non-wondrous items magic items" of my campaign some special features, I have the following thought concerning this...

Oh, I think/hope so as we have this sneak peek! :D

This looks great! I really like the Downtime rules of 5E and love the way these hint at the structure of OotA!! The locations are great, too. To be honest I was tinkering with a short adventure featuring the Darklake, Blingdenstone and Gracklstugh as well. Now I will wait some more and take a...

I would really love to learn more about this interesting storyline/adventure and the new issue of dragon+ also fails for me in this regard. "Fails" might be a little hard, but as we are wrapping up LMoP - our first 5E adventure - I would love to continue with the group (RL and IG). Both...

Don't have my books at hand, so everything from the top of my head: I started off with the "Creating Quick Monster Stats" and came up with AC 13 for a CR 1 monster. I looked at the bugbear with AC 16 (2 from hide armor, 2 from shield, 2 from dex) and as I wanted a tougher zombie I figured that...

And now I just hope I haven't spoiled too much... Off to add a LMoP- spoiler tag to the original post.

tannersharp, please feel free to use this critter! If you do so, it would be really nice to hear/read from your experience. EDIT: oh, perhaps I interpreted your reply wrong. Are you player or dungeon master? If you are a player and want to animate a dead bugbear to a bugbear zombie you should...
