If the D&D movie wove an engaging tale that occasionally pulled away so that you could see the players' reactions to the events unfolding, similarly to how The Princess Bride was set up, it could really work. The players don't need to be a big part of the story, but would serve to help connect...

Ran a fun 4e game in Dark Sun, which is on hiatus. The warlord and ranger class were an especially good fit with the low magic setting. The (low-level party) managed to acquire the Dark Lens, and they're terrified of it. They know they can't safely use it, and they know they can't trust most...

Isn't this thread about boosting weak subclasses, and not trying new subclasses? Myself, I'm a little unhappy with the spell school restrictions on the eldritch knight and arcane trickster, but I haven't officially houseruled either yet (no demand from players).

You want to stay in this game? Ok, but you're using a dice tower from now on.

Never heard the term myself until I started frequenting D&D websites. I always assumed it was used to describe a stereotypical hack & slash group that does little RP and largely plays larger-than-life, immoral fantasy versions of themselves who try to get away with whatever unseemly scheme they...

In your OP, the hyperlink takes you to the monster manual only, while the display text shown differs, and takes you to the handbook. You should split these up to two separate links. Enjoyed the monster selection, but found some pages don't render correctly in my chrome browser. For example...

[Alexa|Siri|Cortana|Ok Google]? What's the range of fireball? The range of fireball is 150 feet. Is this a thing yet? Because it's something i've been waiting about 5 years for. It also happens to be the only type of task I'd actually use one of those spyware assistants for.

Been trying to decide for weeks now how to houserule this one. I really like the idea of the spell, as it seems inspired by the 4e shaman's spirit heals. First, I would make it slightly easier to use in combat: Give the spirit a 5' aura, and let each ally who enters the aura or starts its turn...

Perkins simply borrowed Obama's time machine, since he doesn't need it anymore.

A planar supplement would be a solid addition to the base game, as well as potentially its own setting. More useful for the highest number of people than an entirely different campaign setting.

It can be heartening to find out that a thing you like is well-received by others, I suppose? Wanting to be part of a group is human instinct.

That's what they did... for the tabletop game. However Piranha decided to try to license the designs again for their computer game, to lure old fans, and it has drawn the ire of Harmony Gold once again. Different companies.

Good summary. Yeah, Piranha seems to have directly copied the original designs again, streamlining and modernizing them. I'm sure they wouldn't have done this if they didn't think they had legal standing, though. On the other hand, the three cited in the filing under the Harebrained Schemes...

Never liked them, as I preferred the mental picture of a lantern or torch dimly illuminating the darkness. I can see how they would be missed, though. 5e could have used a few additional alchemical items and poisons on launch.

Most of it is straight out of the DMG. Obsidian steed is obvious enough. Bag of holding (or devouring?), boots of speed, bracers of defense, tome of leadership & influence, decanter of endless water, lantern of revealing, but didn't see anything to match the cat icon thing. The small book on...

Both paladins in my games like to have buff spells like bless, protection from evil, aura of vitality, or shield of faith running, so I removed the concentration requirement and just let them be cast as a bonus action after an attack lands.

I'm not fond of how they do nothing for someone already high in that stat. Could always make them a sliding scale to eliminate that aspect, and reduce or prevent min-maxing: If you have a 10 or less, item gives you a 15. If you have 11-14, item gives you a 17. If you have 15+, item adds +2...

Wait, you're saying there's rules for treasure distribution in the DMG?

Healer is great for patching people up between fights while kicking in doors and so on, when long concentration spells are still rolling and time is limited, but it's usually a pretty bad choice in combat past level 3-5. There are usually more effective things you can be doing. The fact that...
