I liked the racial paragons that Unearthed Arcana had in 3e. Just a 3 level thing that exemplified the traits of your race. I can wrap my mind around that a little easier than 20 levels of gnome. o.O Fear David the super gnome! I think Arcana Evolved did a similar thing? But my memory is a...

Chuckling at Ru's comment, "You're just full of surprises aren't you? I'm starting to wonder what kind of tricks you can't pull off." Could always use a sunrod, and flash it in and out of a backpack like a signal flare. That would also help out with the less visually endowed of us. :P

This is more or less what I use, situational modified morale. And for the pc's henchmen/cannon fodder More than half pc's bloodied, their henchmen flee

Reianne looks back and forth between Lem and Galandra "I'm with Dolgrin on this one. I'm ready to get in there. If you think the obvious way in might be trapped you could always try to draw someone out instead. Or we can just take our chances." She then slides the loops holding her whip to her...

Aww, no love for Comeliness? :p It's ok Unearthed Arcana, I still love you. I've liked the system since I was a kid (except %ile strength, still irrationally hate you so much), but I will admit to liking the change made at 3rd where attributes started becoming useful at 12. And in 4th where...

Looking about from their point of view over the fort, "Well, a lone scout could poke around undetected but I don't want to think about what would happen if they got overwhelmed. I say we go in together." Detect Magic here as well. We can cover a good size area that way Reianne Estril...

Always liked them, but to be honest I don't think I've seen that many in use. It seems most monsters are tactical GENIUSES apparently. Most of the AoOs I've seen have come up from either drinking potions, casting, or special combat actions. Rarely movement, as most people seem to adopt the pawn...

We've always been a group of rough setup via minis. And by minis, I mean whatever is handy. Pennies, green army men, pen caps, all kind of grouped on the paper. It wasn't until 4e really that we went to a full grid system. Though with the amount of friendly fire we experienced, we might should...

I liked the way they ran the site earlier on, with a lot of articles and end of the month it all got compiled into pdf issue of dragon / dungeon. (Not to be confused with the current dearth of articles) Give me an indexed issue each month, the compendium /glossary (which has helped our 4e games...

Simultaneously bored and elated that nothing happens during her watch shift, she pales a bit hearing about the horn in the distance. She nods in agreement to Mesem and Galandra's plans, "I think you all have the right of it. As long as we are reasonably sure the horses are safe from those...

Reianne shrugs, "And I all know Mesem is stories, and plays. But I don't think that will help much in the real world. I just want to make sure that both I AND Buttercup get there safely." She pats her horse, "After all, we'll need a comfortable ride home after we're done" feigning more bravado...

I, along with my group always move to the newest edition. No problems here, but we also play Pathfinder as well. No option for that on the poll. :p

Hey they rebooted the Transformers cartoon and it seems to be doing quite well. I wouldn't mind seeing a new cartoon. Of course if it wasn't good, (or even if it is I still will) I'll just watch Adventure Time. :P

Well darn, it better well feel like D&D when we play it. I'd hate to get a game going and realize I'm playing Battletech. (Wait...what do you mean your fighter fires his LRM-20 at that orc?) Seriously though, the focus on accessibility is good, and the common understanding is a great focus...

Looking at the map, Reianne says "How about we follow the road for a bit then mount the ridge and come in from the north? We might be able to avoid any little surprises that are waiting on the road." so maybe head to f8 by midday, as that will let us stop by the river to water the horses and...

That's my hope. I'm looking for something that has modules to support normal play (the default assumption), modules for gritty, wuxia, storytelling, tactical, or what not.

As do I. Sure, I'd like bears and wolves in forests, but I'd like packs of hell hounds near lava vents, or illithid plotting in the shadows of cities, or kraken in the seas. I want the monster manuals used, not just typical european assumptions.

Well some of the people in my 4e group if they were dropped into 5e, would likely gravitate towards the pregenerated themes and backgrounds. They are the same that use the essentials classes in 4th since they don't really care about making a lot of choices, they just want to jump in and get...

"Heading towards water seems like the best idea to me. Whichever route can do that is fine by me."

After the final watch shift, Reianne is a bit slow to get moving in the morning but stifles a yawn as the group moves out. "I'll try to keep an eye out for water as well. Extra pair of eyes and all that."
