    D&D 5E (2014) Full preview unlocked!

    Fair question... none. But also consider this... the module came out well before the DMG preview with "firearms and alien tech", so your question was comparing grapes to grapefruits.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you feel about the Forgotten Realms?

    I like it, but it's too developed and has too much established history.

    D&D 5E (2014) Likes and Dislikes?

    I like the simplicity and the powering down of characters. But I would like to see more use of magic items, and arcane spellcasters were powered down too much.

    D&D 5E (2014) What technology do you own that you are willing to bring to the table?

    A refrigerator and a microwave oven, snacks are needed!

    D&D 5E (2014) What are your world Races?

    The DM is the moderator for the players' stories, not their own. Their principal job is to create scenarios and interpret what happened.

    D&D 5E (2014) Full preview unlocked!

    I did a magic item count that our characters encountered through the caves in Horde of the Drag Queen, and it amounts to zero, and we are fourth level.

    D&D 3.x 5E Feats Compared to 3E Feats

    That means that a two weapon fighter would get three attacks at fifth level, not four. Yeah, the great weapon fighter would do better. I'm thinking of switching to a halberd (reach weapon) as my primary weapon at L7 (more maneuvers), and as a battle master use the lunge attack to get 15 foot...

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    As a player I am going through the Dragon Queen Horde module, and we just finished in the caves. Most of what we are fighting are humanoids and their pets. I plan to start a parallel game soon, and have written my own scenario that will feature more loose adventuring and more mythical creatures...

    D&D 3.x 5E Feats Compared to 3E Feats

    There are many factors that effect damage, it is impossible to take them all into consideration. Let's say a typical fighter has a strength of 18 and is deciding on two weapon fighting or two handed fighting. The two weapon fighter does 4+1d6 (x2). The great weapon fighter does 4+2d6(re-roll...

    D&D 5E (2014) Full preview unlocked!

    One of the supplemental books had aliens in it, but they were just weird monsters. There were no ray guns. I believe it was 3.5 of PF that introduced gunslingers and bomb makers. Fortunately there were none in any of the games I joined. I have to ask... are you serious?

    D&D 5E (2014) Full preview unlocked!

    Yes, I started in AD&D back in 1980, when I was in college. I never really played played any non-D&D games other than White Wolf's Vampire/Masquerade, Vampire/Dark Ages and Mage/Ascension.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    So only lycanthropes? That seems like a near total waste, especially in a world with very limited magic.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    The PHB states that some monsters that are immune to magic weapons are affected by silvered ones. No monster that I had seen specifically ruled out silvered weapons, and only lycanthropes ruled them in. If silvered weapons only help against lycanthropes, then they are not worth it. But if they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    Just curious... which monsters that are resistant to non-magic weapons, are resistant to silvered weapons? Secondly, some arrows can be retrieved. And if 10 gold per silvered arrow is a lot, how much are +1 arrows worth?

    Just silver (PHB p148) your arrows.

    D&D 5E (2014) Full preview unlocked!

    I was pretty negative on the featured information, so I guess I owe everyone an explanation. In my opinion what is featured in limited releases is something that is different, that often signifies a change in direction. I like role playing in a world of magic, devoid of things such as firearms...

    D&D 3.x 5E Feats Compared to 3E Feats

    I chose to have my mountain dwarf fighter (battle master) guild artisan use a great maul rather than two axes, which was about style over math. It bothers be on some level when decisions are made purely for math. I chose heavy armor master as my first feat over sentinel, which would have been...

    D&D 3.x 5E Feats Compared to 3E Feats

    My interpretation of the 3.0/3.5/PF feats is that they are worth one stat point. In 5.0 every four levels we are allowed an increase in two stat points, or as an option to take one feat. My interpretation of the 5.0 feats is that they are worth between two and three stat points.
