You could always require a Religion check for divine scrolls, or Nature for druid scrolls.

(haven't read the thread yet) I don't have my PHB in front of me so some of the language may be wonky, but what about: Melee Opportunist Each round you can make a number of extra opportunity attacks equal to the number of attacks you are allowed when you use your action to attack, but only...

I guess I'd just lower their speed by 5 feet and use them as-is? Is anybody going to know there's a difference? They use a shortsword and shortbow already, so they're goblin-compatible. You could always lower damage by 1 and raise AC by 1. Remember, Rulings not Rules.

All these reversions sound just as ham-fisted as every other Realms-shattering event. I suppose I at least get to pick and choose which events I'm going to incorporate. I wait with bated breath to see how Halruaa gets resurrected. :erm:

Both.

Hmmmmm. At the risk of being on the opposite end of the edition spectrum from Lanefan: possibly a Second Wind type mechanic for all, depending on whether the DMG has it as an option or not. "Bloodied" Disease tracks Possibly Charge attacks Additional viable healing classes "Spells" that act...

I would probably role-play that as telling a joke so funny the target has a heart attack.

I will probably be giving a set of 5 or 6 different arrays to choose from. Rolling is just too much potential for sturm und drang for me.

I wouldn't even think of restricting either, and probably wouldn't be interested in playing in a game where they were.

It will be interesting to see if the PHB or DMG throws in an option for a 4e-like Second Wind for everybody. This will probably be something I'll add, if not. I'd probably make it a bonus action, though.

My current character is a 4e avenger who is tasked with hunting down evil wizards. He has taken a few of their spellbooks, however, and multiclassed into wizard, and is currently in the position of using some arcane magic against his foes while trying not to be tempted to use some of the darker...

For some reason the idea popped into my head to woodburn the "thou shalt not stack" list onto a baseball bat and keep it handy at the table. :heh:

No. There's been no announcement of when (or if) they will be starting up again. They've still been posting Ed Greenwood's Realms articles but those are edition agnostic IIRC.

Luckily, I don't have to game with any of these types of folks. Life's too short to get hung up on the game to such a degree. Jerk was probably a poor choice of words though. How about hard-nose?

Open playtest bard only got up to 5th level slots (at 17th). Is that still the case?

Any DM who's not a jerk should have the good grace to let a player rebuild their character when a more appropriate class to fit the player's concept comes along. It's probably different in organized play, but I couldn't care less about that. I don't have access to any books at the moment, but...

Well the goal is to use a 2-h weapon and light or no armor. I have 4e retribution avenger who's multiclassed wizard, so mage armor spell wouldn't be too much of a stretch, but it looks like 2-handers are out without houseruling.

If Dex is a viable primary stat for paladins (finesse weapons I assume) I wonder how hard it will be to re-create a 4e Avenger with the 5e paladin's vengeance oath. It's a shame they will probably need houseruling to make 2-h weapons viable in this setup, so that they can stack Dex and wear...

Any news on bards? I heard they were drastically changed from the open playtest, but that's it.

(original post redacted) It looks like those are in fact 2" bases on the giant, assuming the vampire is medium with a 1" base. mea culpa. And yes, it appears the king & queen are on 3" bases, in that case.
