Thanks for answering my earlier question, Palladion! Think you could give us the scoop on the Charlatan and Guild Artisan backgrounds?

Thanks for all of the answers, Palladion. Could you peek at Appendix B again and tell me the suggested domains for Corellon Larethian (and if we haven't seen the features for that domain yet, could you share those as well?) Thanks again! :D

I'd expect they'd go the obvious Ranger = Robin Hood route and that we'll see Folk Hero as the Quick Build option for Ranger. I could see an "Urchin" monk - young Aladdin-style street rat living off his or her wits and quick reflexes, whose potential is observed by a senior member of a monastic...

Don't be absurd, that game is too dangerous!

Which is fair enough - I think we all understand that every conceivable character concept can't fit in the PHB, and that this PHB has more customization content than any previous PHB. What it comes down to is whether or not the options are a given individual's preferred choices or not. For my...

Pretend Wizards uses the last playtest packet - no word yet on whether they'll be switching to the finalized rule set, but a lot of the PCs are classes that aren't in Basic so I would assume they'd make the switch after the PHB release. Seriously though, listen to Pretend Wizards. It's...

Wow, thanks for this, JEB! One question - I've noticed you don't mention AC at all. Should that remain unchanged in your opinion? Others have suggested improving AC a tad.

A spell-point system has been mentioned as an option in the module of alternate spell-casting systems that will be included in the DMG when it comes out in November. Given that the game has been explicitly designed with one eye on alternate spell-casting systems, de-Vancianing it shouldn't be...

:raises hand: You've had a whole bunch of people raise their hands at this point, so this is less about me pointing out that plenty of groups have been started by DMs who've never played before, and more to point out that that still happens - I'm 25 and started DMing two years ago, and have...

Everything you say here make up all the reasons why, when it comes to picking a company I'd rather hand my dollars to, I'd pick Paizo over WotC. And yet, I am one of those Pathfinder players (well, DM, actually) who'll likely switch to Next. I just... like what I've seen of it so far more than I...

Must spread XP around, etc., etc., but this precisely what I've been thinking for months now.

Point taken, although I was more referring more to new source-books, not so much adventures. After all, there's been a steady stream of adventures in Dungeon since the announcement of D&D Next (at least through December, anyway), and I don't think you'd find many saying they're still actively...

Precisely. When an edition is released, I feel, is almost as important as what that edition looks like when it comes out, and part of the reason I've been less concerned while others rave on the forums about 2+ years of a mostly-empty D&D release cycle (which isn't even all that empty, if one...

I think most will not see you eye-to-eye on this. I for one look at this list and say to myself "Dang, what a ton of customizable options for my characters to take." Given the numbers of classes, subclasses, races and backgrounds, we're talking thousands of different possible combinations before...

I just heard about this and was stunned that there wasn't already a thread about it here, but apparently either there aren't too many Myst fans on ENWorld or I've finally got a scoop for once... :p Unwritten: Adventures in the Ages of Myst and Beyond is a FATE Core-driven tabletop role-playing...

For what it's worth, the latest Rule of 3 said that they were planning for players to be able to pick up additional proficiencies between adventures through their downtime system, which we haven't seen yet.

Thanks for the reply! I'm thinking of running with something like your suggestion, but have a quibble. The player is brand new to the game, so I doubt he'd notice the difference even if it came up in play, but to my eye drinking booze taking a full round action could raise questions when the...

So my PF group is finally starting up a new campaign after a hiatus of a couple of months due to crazy schedules all around, and during that time my girlfriend's younger brother has been looking forward to finally getting to play his first game of D&D. When I talked character options with him...

I agree with everything you've said here, but to be perfectly honest, this reply is really just to let you know that the possessive plural of Succubus is Succubi's. :p
