    D&D 5E Move over Fireball and Spirit Guardians, there is a new best 3rd level spell sheriff in town!

    It is odd how underrated unseen servant is, I keep it up all the time as it is a ritual, and adds wonderfully to the action economy when your bonus action is not otherwise engaged, or you need to do thing, like feeding your ally a potion on your turn....So good.

    D&D 5E How does the Reincarnation spell actually work in practice?

    I know it is a personal thing, and sure, life is not always fair, but if you are going to rule that they will lose it if the race has "less", then, as a game, it is only fait that they should gain the overage if their original race did not have the applicable racial bonus, in my opinion you...

    D&D 5E I don't care anymore! The Magic shope is OPEN!

    Well.....here is the thing though, as long as you minimize the +1 style equipment, the game handles magic items just fine. The only real danger that I have seen is for items that break the bounded accuracy of the game. As a side note, as for using gold to improve their characters. It is an...

    D&D 5E OrcPub is Closing Down

    All interesting points, to be sure. I was actually looking at the "homebrew" option, and had come up with my own conclusions, which are interesting to say the least. That said, I must admit to not liking the UI for DDB either. All of that said, I personally think the price point is wrong, and I...

    D&D 5E OrcPub is Closing Down

    Obviously I have strong feelings about this, but, let's look at this another way. How much money would WotC gain by having a "fair" price, which, just so we are very clear, charging me even remotely the same price for a version that once produced, is free for you to make infinite copies of...

    D&D 5E OrcPub is Closing Down

    To point of fact, they didn't offer a paid license, least as far as I know, and, you have a VERY strange idea on what fair market price constitutes. As an example, the housing bubble that closed down the united state's economy for years, was based on what the market would bear, at least until it...

    D&D 5E OrcPub is Closing Down

    I will not claim to speak for the good Captain, however; I believe you are grossly mischaracterizing his text. In any case, what they should have done was scooped up his superior product, and sold it for a small fee of about 9.99. Period. I have already purchased every book that they have...

    D&D 5E Power Level of "Raise Stat to 19" Items

    That really is an interesting balance question. I would need to think long and hard on whether I would make that houseful, but it "is" interesting, and makes magic items worth using for the class they are meant. Gotta look at overall ramifications on bounded accuracy

    D&D 5E Group Rule Deal-Breakers

    Sure! "Squiky" is a term I picked up from some other forum some time ago, and basically describes a thing that makes you uncomfortable, without having to call out by name the horrific nature of humanity, and the things that they do to one another. As a less extreme example, having two pc's get...

    D&D 5E Group Rule Deal-Breakers

    I am big believer in giving people the benefit of the doubt, but I have no tolerance for squiky rated r material, and for clarity, you CAN do rated r material that isn't squiky, I specifically mean the stuff that isn't, and, a surprising new one, telling me that you believe in balance, before...

    D&D 5E Question about feats in 5e.

    As I typed out in my first reply in the thread, a +2 to a secondary stat is almost always better than one or two combinations of feats, it just so happens that a +2 to Con, Dex, Str, Wis, Cha, or Int, is also less interesting. And that doesn't even take into account that depending on rolls, or...

    D&D 5E Converting pathfinder adventure paths to 5e

    Lol, I feel you, my own schedule has me working 16 hours a day, for 16 days, with 6 days off. Converting 5e material never ranks all that high as things I need to accomplish on my days off.

    D&D 5E Question about feats in 5e.

    Overall, I don't think they are that broken, and they leave an interesting choice in regards to taking either an ASI, which many have as much as you do feats, I assure you, or a feat that does something interesting. As an example, I have taken linguist on my wizard, which many will say is a...

    And what would you consider a fair rate?

    D&D 5E OrcPub is Closing Down

    1, he is correct, which is the pillar upon which OSRIC stands, and, 2, I would imagine a great many conversations are built upon lay understanding of any given subject. That said, the idea of OrcPub was pretty awesome, it was greatly helpful to my wife, now, if only there was a paid option that...
