Take the best of both worlds, i see no wrong in calling for or offering a a nature check to identify a creature. In old school it would have been an Int or Wis check instead, and i nboth cases the DM can adjust the DC appropriately and if the players should have no clue no mattter how high they...

Has nothing to do with playstyles imho, I mean as a DM you converse the surroundings to your group. If everything is normal then this might be a brief atmospheric detail for better immersion. But if you come to a thermal oasis caused by whatever phenomenon the DM should and will probably point...

Wow, please try to recall what it was this would be a cool thing for helloween, if it gets to you could you post the titel of it?

Well, then your players do not seem to pay much attention to detail, no offense, maybe they really do not care but that would not be my or my groups style neither as player or DM. If things are against "nature" that is normally highly suspicious, and a major hook - normally that something...

That double concentration thing is one of the strong arguments against selecting part of UAmystic3 psionics for DS 5e for me. Concentration is there for a reason, it is a heavy balancer, also, what if his concentration is broken, do his two spellslots go down the drain? I would heavily advise...

in the Giantitp - comic, the vampire has to bargain for memories if he wants something from Durkon as he possesses him, so at least make it some competitive rolling, if you intend to use this for a game. Interesting enough Durkon tries to trick him by showing him extra Lawful Good memories from...

totally agree with 2nd. You do not have to dislike kender to go along with this definition which is also a very good explanation for those people who would regard the theft of a dirty handkerchief by a kender as a reason for intra party violence. 1. Otoh does not describe a race it is also not...

i love the possible situational comic that Kender could provide e.g. The party tries to buy something nonessential at the market and suddenly finds out , that the Kender borrowed all their coins to compare them coins with each other. Of course the Kender forgot how much dosh his comrades have...

In my greyhawk campaign Iuz is the god of the orcs. I do not use other goblinoids for his horde though. Being present on prime Oerth makes him especially attractive for power hungry evil marauding orc hordes. Sorry, no de-villainized orcs in my campaigns, except when i would run Eberron. I...

DSA ( the black eye) could surely be used for Ravenloft w/o much change. Magic and divine would be different but that is not essential for ravenloft. With heavy modding for psionics it could eventually be used for darksun, but it would definitely make the setting being felt differently.

yep but also take full attack and 5ft step for example, those are mechanics which are really tough to comprehend if you put to much weight on their descriptors.

Great post with historical references. I always thought it might be something originating from the real world zombie mythos. So you have the zombie as an animated mindless creature, but you want different undead as well and what comes to mind? Skeletons, ghosts, ghouls and vampires and mummies...

For my part i disallow mountain dwarf subrace in my campaign because i do not see why Bruenor would start out stronger than Conan. I am ok with halforc +2 to Str though.

yea that might be because of the armadas of clerics and druids providing the population with free food, lighting and heating like some guys above suggested. Maybe they also have free internet in tentowns, aka: Need a sending spell theres a cleric for that. All of that makes your plain iron...

i cannot await it, i so hope you have much time for your update postings. You really could make a book out of it, i would gladly buy it.

nah it is just that a little tip for some rumor shared (as well as a round of booze) should be some copper or a silver most. You spend gold on something like a house or a well fitted plate armor or such, not for some gossip.

medusa: make an int save to realize you must not look into her eyes, make a wis (will) save to avoid eye contact, make a cha save to communicate these insights to your fellow pcs successfully, make a dex save to quickly look away, make a con save to avoid petrification if you still looked and...

what if they win somehow? I mean they detroy the "planet" that they are standing on, it desawns and now they are floating in realmspace or so?

one does not mandatory imply the other.

well if that is the case they could give a twofold description aka " the tavern is crowded" vs "two meagre people on the edge of starvation try to warm themselves up on the small fire burning in the chimney."
