    ZEITGEIST Clockwork Zeitgeist

    I'm actually pretty surprised at the connections they managed to come up with before they knew what characters the other players were putting together. We have the two former Clergy, two foreign converts to the Old Faith, Heskan (the Dragonborn) and Faral (the genasi) have been playing up their...

    ZEITGEIST Clockwork Zeitgeist

    The title of my thread is referring to the store we play in, though it seemed pretty fitting for this campaign. In case it's not obvious, posts will contain spoilers for the campaign. Edited to show current party Heskan - Dragonborn Warlord/Bard hybrid with Yerasol Veteran theme. Came from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Speculation on the Barbarian DD Next Class

    On Twitter Mike Mearls gave a quick description Not much to go on, though more interesting was he also mentioned that we'll get an updated packet tomorrow with the barbarian. The reckless attack sounds like what Ebon Shar described as "could give himself advantage in combat at the expense of...

    Ehdrigohr is awesome!

    Another previous backer here. I don't have a group that seems too likely to switch to FATE, but this still looks great to mine for ideas I can use with setting up my new campaign. In case any of you are on the fence, just a reminder this is the last day

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    Sorry for not checking in for a bit, life got crazy, and when I actually had some free time this weekend the site went down. But Taelvosh has made his appearance in character now. Looks like I have some changes to make with the new packet though. Do we want to keep the old sorcerer for now...

    Misfits of the Sharn Watch (Reloaded) [DDN]

    Taelvosh is making his way through thinking how far his fortune had fallen to bring him down here. His misgivings about this part of seem to be confirmed when coming across a halfling surrounded by a gang led by the hobgoblin. Then I recognize Ortley as someone I've seen at the watch house a...

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    I'm still around, just been busy for since the maintainence finished up. Welcome to the newcomers. Sounds like some good ideas to tie into things. Looks like a nice character, I'm interested to see how a fighter with the lurker theme plays, since I had also considered that same combination...

    Misfits of the Sharn Watch on D&D Next

    Taelvosh rounds the corner and sees three figures standing near the doorway one trying to hide a flask. Before he can acknowledge any of them Marik rushes inside. Turning to the coughing hobgoblin No need to be that cautious around me. I'd hate to think we were the cause of you losing good drink...

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    Hmm, how about he was responsible for transporting some important shipment that was lost. Afterwards Taelvosh was "promoted" to being a contact with the Sharn Watch. If you have ideas for additional reasons for the House to want him on this particular mission I don't mind incorporating it...

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    Taelvosh d'Lyrandar is now posted on the wiki. Wasn't sure about the surname since I've forgotten if it was generally the case that being dragonmarked=part of the main family or not.

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    I was thinking either an bow fighter with lurker theme, or sorcerer and since it's looking like we could use some more front line I started stating up the sorcerer. If it won't step on toes or conflict with slobster's plans was thinking of reflavoring the powers as effects of a dragonmark (for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Playtest This: Red Dragon

    I like the intent of the weak spot, though your original idea seemed off. Having a weak spot that allows the player to attack with advantage would result in them being more accurate, but not doing more damage. Personally, I think even if they know where the weak spot is, hitting that spot...

    Number of Minions in Factory Aflame encounter?

    It's in the text of the description, last sentence before the section heading "Wildfire" Though gideonpepys has good advice to scale up if you need more of a challenge.

    Ranger Design Idea: Contingencies

    I like the concept. However I think the 2 round setup for payoff if 3rd round is a bit much, would like every other round instead.
