Animated broomstick (1 year animation warranty) Self heating teapot Bedding that is always comfortable and cleans itself Cooking fire log that can burn for up to 6 months of continual use. 12 months of off and on. Bathtub that heats the water and keeps it always clean. Welcome mat that...

top of my head recommendation would be a 2/3 EK 1/3 Wizard. That should keep a good spell balance while keeping up decent combat abilities. And depending on what wizard route you went could add some interesting flavor.

It was pretty clear to me that SD was referring to the other bajillion factions that you can gain reputation with in WoW. While horde/alliance is chosen by your starting race the others are entirely up to you. Anyone can grind away to raise their reputation with the purple teacup guild and get...

Awesome! Thank you.

I'm not so sure that they did neglect it. Magic items and item creation are a very delicate subject that many players and DM's feel strongly about. If they had defined it more or even given more options then things could have very easily devolved into a situation that you see on the healing...

From what I remember from the 3.0 DMG prestige classes started out as more about the groups you belong to that come with mechanical benefits. I think over time they changed from story options with mechanic effects to collections of mechanics with a theme. I'm sorry if I sounded snarky with the...

Very true. But considering that the PHB came out quite a while before the DMG and is mostly a here's how to play the game I interpret it to mean that antitoxin and healing potions are craft-able by anyone with the herbalism tool kit proficiency using the mundane crafting rules and any...

PHB 154 under Herbalism Kit

Does anyone know what this was called or where to find it? I'm assuming it was from Dungeon.

One thing that stuck out to me in this conversation was passing down a used girdle of giant strength. That's less than 1% to get one, 53 on a % in 2e for the Girdles, Hats, and Helms sub table.

It's a basis for everything, story wise, that prestige classes are. Prestige classes started as membership in a prestigious/secret/mystical organization that included class abilities because no one is going to take levels in a class that doesn't give them anything. But if all you are looking...

I would be ok with prestige classes modeled as one to two feat chains. Other than that I would rather see them done like the factions for the organized play. I don't want actual classes.

I'll take slightly ambiguous rules that allow the story to be customized for every group to the horde of people running around and beating people over the head with their RAW-bats any day. And I'm a self-identifying rules guy.

Healing potions can be created with the crafting rules from the PHB. I believe proficiency in the herbalism kit is required.

The primordials stole dwarves and remade them. Not understanding the whole reproduction thing and seeing that the dwarves loved their forges they figured that's as good a way as any.

Is it just me or do these two section totally contradict each other? On one hand you talk about "because it's what the character wants to play" and "because it sounds like fun". And then you turn around and say how you do the complete opposite and refuse to allow anyone to use a specific race...

I'm really sorry that you had a bad game experience. But it doesn't sound like it was because you chose a multi-class character. It sounds like you purposefully spread yourself very thin to cover numerous roles that the others ignored while they made combat monsters (see: highly tuned...

I disagree. D&D had healers, but the stand around and heal/buff only really came into play with MMORPGs. There may have been a few people here and there, but the concept was never a widely recognized thing until video games. And even then I can't tell you how many people I heard complain...

You can create it in 5e just the same as 2e. Take nothing but healing and buffing spells and stand around waiting to be useful. If your not useful enough, talk to the DM about upping the challenges so that you are more useful.

When people say that they are concerned about a character not pulling his weight the first thing that comes to mind is that it's a group problem of people that want their characters to be finely tuned machines. Or more confrontationally "mor powerz!" I'll never understand why people insist...
