If they *don't* throw that kind of money at it (and more), they might as well just pack up and go home right now. But, we just don't know. As always, I'm happy to wait and see.

I stick with a simple distinction...but the down-side is that your assertion is correct: Perception is used waaaay more of the time. Basically, I use Investigation when the character needs to get his nose into the problem. I assume that a use of this skill involves all the senses, including...

You're 37 but you're talking as if you're 77! :) I'm well into my 40's and I spend a large portion of my leisure time either watching these things or having them on in background (live D&D is particularly good for the latter). Starcraft, Heroes of the Storm, D&D, even X-Wing battle reports! Not...

I would have preferred something in the same vein, but with new material. Still, I have no doubt I can mine this, so it'll be added to the shelf.

If I was a player in such a game, I would derive as much enjoyment from working out the twist beforehand, and collaborating with my fellow players to turn the tables, as I would if I didn't see it coming. Similarly, even though in the meta it might seem that these twists are kind of...

I don't have any practical experience with such a problem, but I will say kudos for taking on an open table, and also welcome to the board. :)

Your protest is costing you the pleasure of a fantastic book, just so you know. :)

I've changed very little (the odd magic item). I haven't touched the underlying systems at all. I find the game plays like butter. One of my DM's however is an inveterate nerfer. He just can't help himself. If something does d10 damage you can bet he'll house rule it to d8+1. Random...

Honestly no. I'm running two campaigns in the FR and I don't feel the need for any more detail than is already available between the adventure and SCAG. I'd rather the time and money went into something else, simple as that.

Dice box with weird...hockey puck inside?

A mix is my technical answer, but at a push, I choose mini's. Whatever you lose in imagineering, you gain in tactical and strategic options. I *love* playing D&D with mini's.

Nope, never made it from 1st all the way through to max level. Might make for a good poll?

My first reaction is: creature ambushes should be rare because ambushes are *deadly*...but a deadly round of attacks that only happens once in a while is still a deadly round of attacks, so that's not really an argument. This may be a new development in 5E simply because the DM has no Take 10...

Boo! Doesn't work on amazon.co.uk. :(

Nice looking app, I'll give it a try. What do you mean by "verified by WotC"..?

No, because fandom's definition of "announced" has been reduced to "someone leaked it on their LinkedIn CV".

Side question: who named this con?

A PC's "function" doesn't end out of combat. The game is built on multiple pillars. The OP is talking about "functions, capacities, responsibilities" vs. "personality, motivation", not simply function vs role-playing (roll vs. role). A PC can navigate a town full of NPC's, gather the required...

I have just started a new campaign with a dual-wield UA Ranger and will try to post any thoughts I have about it. The DM has a slight nerf reflex, so there were some changes. He's retreated back to the PHB Ranger's more granular list of favoured enemies than the very high-level creature types...

Is the point that it provides a range of outcomes?
