I'm with it, except for the whole biding your time for a surprise attack bit. Too many bad memories of the 2e thief's backstab being totally useless. People fighting back to the wall, or back to back was so common, you'd think everyone in the world had cast protection from backstab 10' radius.

Looking at the south door, then the north and back again. "Well the south is sounding like our trail, but I wonder what exactly is asleep behind the other door." She shakes her head. "Maybe it's best not to find out. Curiosity killed the cat after all." Reianne looked around the room at her...

Looking over the room with her light, Reianne almost wished she hadn't. "Oh my. Don't our green friends live in style? Going for a closer look at that throne Dolgrin? Let me bring the light over toward you." Reianne moves into the room to illuminate it further. I'll move over to L13. Away from...

"I agree Menik. Killing him doesn't sit well with me." Mulling the encounter over in her mind, she decides to switch weapons hooking her morningstar to her hip and readying her whip instead. Reianne Estril AC: 15 (Touch 11, Flatfooted 14) -1 due to carrying sunrod. HP: 9/9...

As the battle ceases, Reianne grabs up the sunrod from the floor. "Well, we can't let them get the drop on us, so let's push on." She holds the rod aloft and adjusts her buckler strap. "That does leave the question of him though." pointing at the unconscious goblin "Do we just gag him, or is Lem...

Incenjucar's post is quite good, and I wish I could give out more xp to them but alas I can not at the moment. All I ask is for a more realistic set of proportions to people portrayed. Not everyone is a supermodel, or an Achilles. Also, get some armor (and weaponry) that isn't so bizarre at...

I've read all my books front to back more times than I can count. Just weird I guess. lol At least it means I can usually answer any question at our table though. ^.^

I am in the heck no category. I am also in the no category for things like detect X. I don't think someone's belief system is really something that should be something that magically lights up like a beacon. Alignment to me is just kind of a general descriptor of beliefs. It's more of a...

I wouldn't mind a mature tone to the books, but most of all I would like a more..evocative tone. The modern books tend to be a bit boring really. Though some of 4e's later books did ok (like feywild). But I'm not looking for the Dostoyevsky does D&D version, (though you know...) there are plenty...

Heck, I just tell them to roll up new characters and get out there and avenge their own deaths! Honestly, I make sure at the outset of each campaign to remind the players (and occasionally before games) that I pull no punches and if the dice are against them or they do something...

Personal Favorite, Random 100 mile Teleport Circle Trap. Edit: Also fun, the higher level, random planar teleport trap.

This is exactly what I do at the beginning of a campaign, or whenever a new pc is introduced. It helps them get into the head of their character a bit more. I use them as well to help flesh out more important npc's to give myself a bit more of an idea of how they might react when the pc's...

Personally, I kind of hope for a sort of hybrid 3e/4e kind of fighter. Kind of like he is the best at fighting in the sense that he has the most options. Like combat feats for better combat maneuvers or straight up 4e style powers to supplement his basic attacks. That kind of versatility could...

Frustrated by her magic being shrugged off not once, but twice Reianne fumes while staring at the wounded archer. At Ru's request, she sighs and says "Rope, I've got that. Let me just grab some here. At least I can do that right..." Reianne starts rummaging in her backpack for her rope to get it...

sorry, no internet connection over the weekend. I'll have a post up today though! Thank you :)

Reianne slides over near the wall and focuses her attention on the goblin archer, her right hand tracing a quick set of arcane motions as she utters the words to a simple spell to incapicate it temporarily. 5' step to J35 Casting Daze on the Archer, Will Save DC 14 That is one nifty cantrip. :)

For the longest time I had really liked the ranger more or less as is. I wasn't the biggest fan of the whole two weapon fighting schtick, but what can you do. She had spells, and I thought, ok she has a connection to nature and can draw on it's power like a druid I guess. Hmm. Then, something...

Reianne closes in on the stairwell trying to get closer to the action. "I'd like a piece of this action myself if you don't mind." As she gets close to Galandra and Dolgrin she drops the sunrod to the floor to free her shield hand up. Move to K35, drop sunrod there. Ready an action to attack.

Well, I'm saddened to see such a talented man leave the development team but I won't let this color my opinion of 5e. I'll let the material stand on it's own merits. And besides Monte is a fine developer, he'll do just fine with his own material as he has for years. Perhaps we'll see a new...

What I'd like to see in regards to the exploration side is more rules for making environments more engaging and hazardous. Actually dangerous traps (looking at you 4e), extreme heat/cold, pathfinding over land/water/underground, that kind of thing. Socially, I do actually like skill checks. We...
