    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    well but birthright special rules apart from the mass combat and economic stuff etc. were few. The bloodline powers, the shadowrealm and some uniqe named mobs. The real essence were those splatbooks for the players, describing one domain. And they will not go for that. So i think whatever...

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    Do you guys all interpret this as setting= setting book? Or is it rather e.g. A desert adventure with some hints how to put it into Anauroch for the always FR people? The expeditions into classic settings so far were adventures like CoS or GoS which you could use quite universally.

    D&D 5E (2014) What Is Your "Must-Have" House-Rule (If Any)?

    Yea i adjust a bit, but replacing gold with silver does the job. I also rule 1g=20s=240c. You are right, i just did not want to go to much into detail with the armor. I use padded for 11, buff coat for 12 and brigandine for 13 medium max dex +3

    Worlds of Design: Escaping Tolkien

    Well, try out Darksun then. I am more bored by todays anything goes mentality, with which i mean the thinking, that a campaign is great and creative, if the people are allowed to play good aligned monsters, when in reality most people fail to depict even a clasic elf correctly in a RP sense...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Is Your "Must-Have" House-Rule (If Any)?

    Silver standard for vanilla worlds instead of gold. Quarter staff is 1d6 two handed use only. No leather whatever armor, you got padded and brigandine. Btw. what is ring mail (It does not exist in my campaigns of course, like it never did exist IRL)? No long sword. There is arming sword bastard...

    Meet the Daughter of Hideous Laughter

    I prefer every bit of that old school pragmatic logic lore over today's hodgepodge "anything must go, no matter the implications".

    Meet the Daughter of Hideous Laughter

    Yes that is what i wanted to write. I love the OP but Mearls statement on her alignment? Next she is not as schemer but a victim? What purpose does this serve? Does this make sense for any of you, then please explain, i might miss some modern "fun" with my hobby.

    D&D 5E (2014) Two Subclasses from Tasha for Barbarian and Warlock

    The genie lock seems quite sound. The barbarian, not so much. The detect magic at will (and even the slightest magic, would e.g. a healing pot qualify?), around corners, through walls means for the dm: I cannot surprise ambush the party anymore if i intend to attach any spell or magic items to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bards have an identity problem!

    although this guy is pretty ridiculous in a funny way, i do not get in the slightest way, what he has to do with my post. Is his name Walter in Russian eventually?

    D&D 5E (2014) Best VTT for automating 5e combat

    using roll20 but only the free version so i am quite limited i guess. Disadvantage of it is you.need discord as well, because of vc quality issues.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should 5e have more classes (Poll and Discussion)?

    i would like additional classes only in setting context arti for eberron, psion for DS e.g. But that is wishful thinking so i voted it's good as it is.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bards have an identity problem!

    thanks for clarifying your point, the medieval Minnesaenger was a kind of gigolo, although not in a physical love sense, but rather an idealized way, often "courting" married women, which would have led to big trouble back then, if it were the "real thing" Walter von der Vogelweide is the best...

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do about Hypnotic Pattern?

    yep, maybe even have one enemy be a suicidal fireball caster. He first pretends to be affected, allow a deception vs perception roll for that, and then quickcasts fireball as soon as the pcs start to loot the bodies

    D&D 5E (2014) Bards have an identity problem!

    Could you please cite your sources of mythology with epic magic battles of bards and druids? Also i do not believe that d&d bard is based mainly on Celtic RL models. Check out Jack Vances Dying Earth, one of the short stories features a bard. The medieval minstrel also comes to my mind , not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Previews of Rime of the Frostmaiden

    So they got a dozen starting adventures? Are there hints about how to scale them if e.g. the party has hit level 2 already when entering a new town?
