Not really arguing for or against anything that you're saying, but I'll point out that the main pathfinder sub has been around for 7 years. If a spinoff sub for a game that hasn't actually been released yet was anywhere close to the same user count in a small fraction of the time, that would be...

Oh man guys I can't believe that Pathfinder 1st edition was a 4e clone this whole time.

Penny / Pence (or denier or denarius) per the currency description.

I had a pretty tough time deciphering the currencies the way that they presented them, so for anyone having similar trouble here they are arranged largest to smallest: 1 Pound (L) (= 20 Shillings (s)) 1 Mark (= 13 Shillings + 4 Pence (d) [13.3 Shillings]) 1 Crown (= 5 Shillings) 1 Shilling (=...

Not really a balance comment, but are hit dice used for something other than healing that I can't remember at the moment? Because this seems like a less elegant way of saying 'You recover all your hitpoints when you take a short rest'.

As I'm A Banana said, the wild magic isn't generally meant to have that great of an impact, but if you are looking for an alternate table, I like a lot of what this generator spits out: http://donjon.bin.sh/5e/random/#type=wild_surge;level=1 Like the PHB table, these are generally cosmetic, but...

Nah, because the monster building rules don't care about all the different ways that classes are put together - the main thing that matters for CR is the maximum possible damage output for a single three round fight, which is different for everyone. Don't think there is any way they could have...

Well, having done ctrl-f to find them again, there aren't actually that many in the document, but, for instance, Alter Reality lets you create up to 30HD of creatures (none higher than CR5), and Animal Trance affects 3d6HD worth of creatures. There's also one much further down (Stygian Oblivion...

I've not read nearly the whole document yet (there certainly are lots and lots of spells!), but a couple notes so far, mainly on the way your converted spells work compared to the way the official 5e spells tend to: - A couple spells say that they effect a certain number of hit dice, when...

When I think of what to do with inspiration, I generally go with the idea that it is something that should be handed out quite sparingly, but have a big impact when used - effects like these: - Treat a single ability check, saving throw, or attack roll as if you had rolled a 20 - Remain at 1...

These look interesting, but I have the same issue with the 'Strength of the Grave' ability that I have with Concentration saves, which is that enemy damage starts high and increases way, way faster than CON saves. Like, a CR 3 Githyanki Warrior does 16 damage in total with their greatsword and...

DMG 280

Aha! I don't think it mentions spells in particular, but I knew I saw it somewhere.

Unless I've been creating monsters very, very wrong, I'm pretty certain that the monster buildings rules tell you to assume that AoE effects hit two creatures, regardless of the actual area of the effect. Which seems a little bit strange, but I guess the idea is that damage dealt to multiple...

The implication being that you just suddenly became a wizard one day and had no idea that you might ever interact with magical creatures for any reason at any point before then?

I would actually point out, regarding this, that drowning in 5e does not deal damage to you - when you run out of breath your HP is set to zero, regardless of how much you have. On your other points, I feel like most of them would be avoided by tracking armour HP separately from regular HP when...

I don't think that's actually a concern? I mean, first off, the mob is, as stated, built like a creature. Any other CR 7 creature would have similar power. Second, it is stated to represent 30 kobolds, which is more than enough to do a bunch of damage to all party members if they were run as...

That.. doesn't even make sense. Both sorcerers get permanent resistance to an element without having to spend resources on it. One gets the option of spending resources for resistance to another element, while the other does not get resistance to that element at all.
