Keep in mind that using the dragons-as-spellcasters variant would make it even easier for the dragon to overpower any resistance / evade overwhelming numbers of dwarves. I don't have my books in front of me, but Enlarge/Reduce, Invisibility/Greater Invisibility, Gaseous Form, Stone Shape, and...

Yup, scanned by UPS an hour ago with an estimated delivery date of October 16th. Now if only I could place my order for those blasted Cleric spell cards already!

Ditto that - though according to UPS tracking, they're not in UPS hands yet. Hopefully I'll be able to update soon when my order status has changed! Any word yet on when the Cleric deck will be available, and if there will be a delay of weeks again from order placement to charging / shipping?

Don't be absurd, WotC has quite clearly gone on record stating that Mind Flayers absolutely, utterly and completely do not exist. You fool, are you trying to get all of our brains slurped out?!

Well, skeleton staff is a bit of a misnomer; I'm pretty sure Chris Perkins is actually a Wight, and all the evidence seems to point to Mearls being some kind of undead Beholder (that is, unless I misunderstood what the D&D team was trying to get across when they started whispering about "the...

The gaming community is many things, but I don't think anyone can accuse it of being easily satisfied. :p

Thanks for the correction - I used the correct 2x multiplier for 4 orcs, but forgot to multiply by party size. The proper math is as you described it, though of course simply increasing the amount of orcs (or adding a few ogres, orogs, wargs, etc. to the encounter) can ensure they still...

This bit here does not match up with my experiences with the system - at all. Especially at the lower levels. Seriously, there have been plenty of threads here mentioning character deaths and party wipes in Lost Mines of Phandelver and Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Numerical bonuses might be lower...

Quite apart from the "crunch vs. fluff - which is more interesting?" discussion that has been a topic for debate for years and years... If you've got seven different descriptions of what a Kobold is, what do you need another description of a Kobold for at all? Couldn't you just tweak kobolds to...

Covered!

"You must spread XP around, etc., etc." You've summed up my thoughts on the topic perfectly.

I've been looking for this too! Alright, screw it - I'm just going to have to buckle down and make up my own homebrew version. I'll have to kick some ideas around and type up my thoughts in the House Rules and Homebrew forum when I get home from work this evening. what no i'm not browsing...

We have a product schedule, though - click the "D&D 5E Release Schedule" button to the right of the EnWorld logo up top! The Monster Manual comes out on September 30th, Rise of Tiamat comes out on October 21st, the Dungeon Master's Guide comes out November 18th, and the DM's Screen is coming...

Well, it's beholden to Reptilians from Alpha Draconis, but who isn't these days?

For a slightly more in-depth review of the individual monsters in the book, you might want to check out Rob Donoghue's series of posts going alphabetically through his GenCon copy of the Monster Manual over on his blog - there's been a ton of great scoops so far! http://walkingmind.evilhat.com/

Yes, 5E's CR is not 3E's CR. In 3E, a monster's CR was roughly calculated to consume roughly 1/4 of a party's resources (3E CR was admittedly borked, so sometimes it worked out that way, but a lot of time not). This assumption meant players were expected to steamroll level-appropriate...

You've done a great job outlining a Sorcerer subclass I'm honestly surprised wasn't included in the PHB. I'd re-flavor the wings, myself, as depending on exactly what type of fey your ancestor was, sprite-style wings might not make sense; I'd keep the mechanics the same but simply describe it as...

Don't worry about it, lotth of uth on EnWorld type with an internet lithp, it'th nothing to be ashamed of. I for one would like to thee hith quethtion about the Thundering anthwered, though - what exactly hath changed? Can thomeone thummerize the novelth, and will Tyranny of Dragonth altho be...

Thank you, my good man! You're doing Pelor's work!

Humblest apologies if it's already been posted before (this is a fast moving thread, it's hard to keep up!), but Brian, do you think you could provide the details for the Entertainer background? To my knowledge that's the only one we don't have details for yet - the others have been covered in...
