    D&D 5E (2014) Does a nonmagic arrow from a magic bow pierce nonmagic weapon resistance?

    As the title says, if you have a magic (say +1) bow, and an ordinary arrow, and hit a creature that has resistance to non-magic bludgeoning, piercing and slashing weapons, does the bow imbue the arrow with magic so that it pierces the resistance, or does the arrow itself have to be magical...

    [UPDATED] Out of the Abyss Reviews Have Started Rolling In

    While I agree improvements could be made to organization of the material, I like the approach of the big campaign every six months with campaign source material included. If I want a short adventure its easy enough to get one from the 3rd party publishers but only WOTC is making these adventure...

    Bones 3 Kickstarter is live!

    I'm very happy with how the Kickstarter is developing. The Core set has really filled out nicely to a huge set of varied miniatures. The first expansion for $50 more is full of interesting miniatures. The second expansion of Mythos themed miniatures is really nice. And the add-ons include...

    WOTC/Wizkids Miniatures - Icons of the Realm set 3

    Has any information been released about this set other than the case incentive is a white dracolich? Do we know yet if there is a theme, and whether the theme is related to the Out of the Abyss story line? I don't understand why there is so little marketing or even basic info released about...

    D&D 5E (2014) I miss easily scaleable modifiable monsters!

    I miss having a big variety of different CRs for each monster, with not only different hp and AC but different variant abilities. I know I can create monsters myself but I need a greater variety. I have a player that has already memorized the stats for everything in the Monster Manual. I know...

    D&D 5E (2014) How should I lead my players from Phandalin to Greenest?

    The way I'm going about it is that the druid Reidoth asks the characters to see an old friend of his, a monk who specialized in sagecraft and study of dragon cults, because of the activity of the cultists and dragon in Thundertree, which Reidoth was spying on. His spying revealed the cultists...

    D&D 5E (2014) PAX PRIME 2014: Acquisitions Inc. - Five Heads are Better than None

    The variant crit rules were not an issue in me enjoying watching the game. It was fun to watch. I was just curious though, since I actually prefer that max damage rule to rolling double damage. I thought the game was a nice way to illustrate use of minis and props without getting bogged down...

    New Background: Undead Hunter

    I think a background can be used for all kinds of things, not just what mundane profession one had before being an adventurer. Some characters may have a background that is not mundane. If someone could have been studying under a wizard as a Scholar (wizard's apprentice) or learning the a...

    D&D 5E (2014) PAX PRIME 2014: Acquisitions Inc. - Five Heads are Better than None

    What was up with the critical hit rule the DM and player's were using? That was different than the Player's Handbook rule for crits. Was that just that they messed up and used the wrong rule, or does that mean that the crit rules are getting changed in the next printing of the PHB? They were...

    D&D 5E (2014) Find Steed and controlling that Steed

    This reminded me of the Ranyhynn horses and Bloodguard from The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. The Bloodguard are kind of like the paladins of that fantasy world, having become sleepless and immortal after swearing a Vow to serve the Lords that serve and protect the beauty and majesty of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone else find the arcane magic items in LMofP and in HoDQ over the top? (spoilers)

    Lost Mine of Phandelver and Hoard of the Dragon Queen Spoilers . . . . . . I like both adventures, despite a few issues here and there. But one thing I 'm concerned about is the spider staff and staff of defense in Lost Mine of Phandelver, and the staff of fire and wand of winter in Hoard of...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do players spend their treasure on?

    I'm guessing that the DM's Guide will have guidelines for buying common, single use magic items like potions and scrolls. At least I'm guessing basic potions like the potion of extra healing, and simple first and second level scrolls will be given suggested prices.

    D&D 5E (2014) My interview with Trapdoor Technologies about DungeonScape

    It was the first thing that came up when I googled "October 31 1971 Dungeons and Dragons". Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Chris-Sims-Writer-and-Designer/123928617666452?sk=info Could it be coincidence? Maybe, but it seems like a very peculiar coincidence if so.

    D&D 5E (2014) My interview with Trapdoor Technologies about DungeonScape

    On Chris Sims' Facebook page it notes: Basic Info Founded October 30, 1971 So I'm guessing that is where the 103171 comes from?

    D&D 5E (2014) Why are treants vulnerable to fire?

    I think of it as, the treant actually has less hit points, but few things affect it much, and fire is one of those few things. You could instead give it half hit points and make it resistant to all but fire.
