    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle someone who is not surprised but is unaware of any threats?

    She is not surprised and invested heavy for it, so, no problem at all, (unless she oneshots the bbeg- magic user before he can even get one spell out, that is :P) but the rest of the group is surprised, so let her act first and then the rest of the group gets it by whatever ettercap and spider...

    D&D General The child stealing food to survive scenario, for alignment

    From the poster: "Myztek Dryken Delerosh, a LG fighter/wizard, a former CE Thayvian under a helm of opposite alignment, would capture the kid, hand him over to the constables and say the law is the law." The law is the law yeah? If the law orders the kid to be hanged or mutilated for stealing...

    D&D General The child stealing food to survive scenario, for alignment

    sorry but better recheck your parties alignments: Myztek is clearly LE Tyrsten is clearly CN Cynare definitely CE absolutely and finally Myska LN you might disagree, but then you better play without alignment at all because these are not even border cases.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is there a limit to falling damage?

    Very good topic, this should eventually really be cleared up officially. I like the 10% approach by @Henry

    D&D General The Importance of Page 33

    I would not play in that game, but for interest, did the six sided die also apply for players? So player crit and on a 6 the 25 HD dragon is an autokill?

    D&D General The Importance of Page 33

    This nails it imho. I could have written it myself. I put a lot of work into making my own world out of whatever published setting I use as a baseline. This includes but is not limited to: Filtering NPCs, available races, classes, equipment, spells, items, deities, monsters, locales, parts of...

    Darn I misread cat - soup, and thought wtf I get salt and pepper to improve taste but soup made from cats why in all .... ROFL

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC's Jeremy Crawford Talks D&D Alignment Changes

    Yeah but in planescape it is pretty useful. Think about the factions in Sigil, the alignment of planes, how do you do that without alignment?

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC's Jeremy Crawford Talks D&D Alignment Changes

    I think some stories, also officially published ones, which use the alignment "rules" in a very creative way cannot be told anymore the same way if there is no alignment anymore.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats that allow you to become a quarter caster?

    I can only always point out to the criminal background. Check this one out it is only a background. Still it basically gives you all the utility skills of a full fledged rogue. (Traps locks perception). So while the feat chain might look pretty powerful, do not forget that character misses out...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC's Jeremy Crawford Talks D&D Alignment Changes

    Looking at that bar diagram from Beyond is more shocking to me than the actual announcement. Ok, I can understand chaotic good leading, it allows people to break out of the concept of being law-abiding most of the time. But chaotic neutral being second? It basically means you play a character...

    D&D 5E (2014) Limited Wish - Money Maker?

    Wow I sometimes would love if my players would show so much initiative as to initiate an all out war against the local thieves guild. (Normally they just pay their protection money, ok I must admit, normally they get confronted at to low a level with the guild to put up a fight.)

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Be inclusive Krynn w/o Kender is boooorrrring :P You never did play DSA with one of your companions playing a jester? A Kender is harmless versus a DSA Jester. Imagine you being a Knight want to reach for your trusted blade because combat is about to take place, but you find the table leg...

    I cannot help you with that one, but also in a lot of fantasy books as well as in FR and War of the lance Krynn the good people are in the west and the evil folk in the east. And lo and behold Tolkien did it :P

    WotC Dungeons & Dragons Fans Seek Removal of Oriental Adventures From Online Marketplace

    Being old fashioned I try to learn: would it be also acceptable to say "I hate sushi " (At least I really do not like it, hate is maybe a to strong word, but for this question assume that I hate it for whatever reason)?

    D&D 5E (2014) Limited Wish - Money Maker?

    You might be right, but even w/o magic walmart, e.g. in my Greyhawk campaign you can buy war machines and really big ships if you got the dosh. So while I would run along some edgy idea for a time, I might find my DM creativity challenged at some point. That usually results in Genies noticing...

    D&D 5E (2014) How is Artificer Balanced?

    Very clarifying, and if you recap, quite logical. Since the thing is although kind of summoned, part of the artificers weapons it should be as immune to most AE etc. as other things carried around by players. The question comes up though, why is it stated with HP and AC anyway? Is it intended...

    D&D 5E (2014) Perma Death in 5e?

    Be careful about precreated clones. I once used them as a story element to circumvent the conditions of a geas preventing priestly resurrection after a duel.
