    Best miniature for Avandra?

    Hey, you found one of few minis I painted B-) Nienna might work. Aeris is another possibility.

    Races You Always/Never Use

    I have not seen Shade, Satyr, Hamadryad, Svirfneblin. I think I have seen or played every other player race at least once. Perhaps this speaks to the frequency with which I play. Races I have made characters for in ongoing games: Human, Half-elf, Pixie, Tiefling, Deva, Dwarf, Goblin, Halfling...

    Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter

    It will be enough quantity of paint in each bottle, to paint for years. Don't worry about buying more sets. More colors on the other hand, are another story.

    Reaper Miniatures Bones! Kickstarter Project

    Others have said some of this, but putting it in $ amounts... At 209 minis, plus another 4 I'm guessing some time this evening, and another 4-12 before the deadline. You can swap out Sophie for some options like Orcpocolypse, netting 232+ minis. That's less than 45 cents a mini. Paints are a...

    Has the skill list gone in the wrong direction?

    One of few things I liked about the initial playtest was the use of ability checks instead of skill checks. It made much more sense to me, to apply conceptual bonuses to a task at hand, rather than having a separate skill for everything. For instance, Professional Lore should be something...

    DDN and Campaign settings

    Aren't we due for a new setting? Even youngest kid Eberron is 10 years old now. Don't mind a new coat of paint on some of the oldies, but I really want something fresh and exciting.

    Warlock Fluff - Poll

    Voted lemon curry. They can fluff it how they want, I'll fluff it how I want.

    Two Suggestions (HP and Attack Bonuses)

    Yeah, this is basically scaled down 4e. Based on role/class, you get a base HP, you changed +Con to +Con mod, and you changed the fixed HP/level to rolled or average HP/Level. I think it would work fine, for the heroic tier, but I'd like to see a cap, after which characters maybe only get an...

    Dual-weapon fighting is extremely lackluster

    Seems like a fine feat to me. Double the chance to crit (quadruple with advantage), double the chance to add Deadly Strike damage, double the chance to knock an enemy prone, chance to kill two things instead of one, or just two chances to kill one thing. If full damage and half damage are both...

    Not happy with playtest goes through it piece by piece

    Let me start by saying I agree with most everything in the OP, except two: Keep in mind you will sometimes miss, and not get a chance to use your dice pool during your turn. I feel Parry is very powerful in a game with little healing. Mitigating 1d6/1d8 damage a round might be too valuable to...

    D&D Next Q&A 9 August

    Then I propose Fighter's get only X dice for their dice pool per day, and start with X=2. Because that's the limitation Clerics and Wizards get for anything remotely interesting they can do. A refreshing dice pool every round is a *far* better mechanic than spells or sneak attack. Rogue has to...

    D&D Next Q&A 9 August

    They're still not answering why this innovative and unique mechanic can only be used with the fighter, and not with the rogue, wizard, or cleric.

    Can someoone explain the "Daily Hate" for me?

    I don't hate daily resources per se, but I don't like the implicated dictation on the length of an adventuring day, or some corollary between number of encounters and difficulty of encounters within the day. I want to be able to run an adventuring day that is 1 encounter long, or 12 encounters...

    Wandering Monsters: Goblins, Bugbears and Hobgoblins!

    Just give me the stats, clear, concise, compact. Release Ecology of Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun and other fluff books to go with it, where monsters can get in depth descriptions. I just don't want it to get in the way of the core game. My goblins are perhaps created by the...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is most important to you for 5e?

    This is not necessarily just for 5e, but really, any game system I'd want to consider using. In order of importance, though the first two are about equally important. I want to be able to create any type of campaign world I want. I might use Harry Potter for inspiration, or Star Wars, or Iron...

    TSR/WotC Adventures - Are they REALLY any good? (Warning: Possible Spoilers)

    I've never really liked published adventures, I can never fit them into my vision of a campaign, though I've found neat little things in them that I could use in my own adventures. Red Hand of Doom is probably one exception, where I enjoyed playing through that campaign immensely, but part of...

    Grey Dragon Player Character

    Grey (BrE) and Gray (AmE) are both correct. I don't really have an answer to the more pertinent question. I assume you are reskinning a dragonborn or some such? How do you imagine this badland area to be populated? Is it arid? Is it a swamp? Is it a tundra? What kind of campaign do you want to...

    Wandering Monsters: Orcs and Gnolls

    Yeah, I agree, I'm just not too concerned about it I guess, since I tweak monsters to fit my needs, or make new ones any way. And I was making an effort to say something nice about a new article.

    D&D 5E (2014) And Lo, the Fighter Did Get a Shtick of his Own... COMBAT SUPERIORITY!

    Powers aren't so much the issue, as it is the presentation of those powers in the card format. A table/list/chart format would have been much easier to accept, and to track for instance. The UM4 character sheet is a step in the right direction actually for compactness, but not quite there...

    Wandering Monsters: Orcs and Gnolls

    It's a good read, but it won't affect our games. DM's change cultures to fit their world. In one world, maybe orcs were created from elves who have betrayed their brethren. Maybe they can call upon powerful primal forces, call upon the spirits of the dead, and their culture is as much around...
