I had a PC die last session. Actually had 2 die but one was at the very end, he messed with a beholder and took a death ray. The other however "died" in the middle of the session by a medusa. Technically just stone but for all intensive purposes (my purposes are very intensive) he was dead. So...

So far, just seeing these reviews, this is exactly what I wanted from a DMG. If I had to bet, I'd say this is the best DMG ever made simply becuase it has distilled down the past generation DMGs into something almost perfect with the variant rule and non assumptions. It's like 4e assumed a...

Rocks fall everybody dies.

digging the subtract spell level init mod. thats..... awesome. I love casting times in games, and until now it's been one thing that D&D has been sorely lacking (at least in the core game). Love it.

Super sad that arcane archer was cut. That was great.

I'd have gladly waited as long as I needed for a near perfect book. There aren't many errors in 5e but the ones that are there are pretty damn huge. It's not just spelling errors its missing spell errors, that's a huge detractor for me. I don't think you would be able to convince me that if they...

I'm quite confused, the official release date is the 9th. What unofficial holiday is this? I don't count that early release as an official release btw, its more of a sort of "preorder" incentive, even though im aware thats a poorly worded term for this particular event. If it were it would be...

Imagine what the books would be like if both the PHB and Monster Manual were delayed a couple of months and combed over just a few more time to coincide with the release of the DMG next week.

It's a good thing they decided to focus on a staggered release so the books could be sold without glaring errors.

Well, gimme a few months when my group gets that high, I'm sure they will come up with 57834957348902 nonsensical ways of putting this to use as the central crux of their master plans.

11 pages of bickering for a simple flow chart? Is your ac 16 or higher? (look at your character sheet in the little box that says AC there's a number, now see what it is.) If yes, then your AC stays what it is. If no, then your AC is 16. That's literally the only thing that needs to be asked...

I never understood the want to completely break the game and outdamage others. Maybe in video games, but it seems selfish to overshadow everyone. And no I'm not talking about building a competant character for the party, im talking about building grossly overpowered characters just to break the...

sounds like you need to do one of a couple of things. A: play a new game where the wizard is up to your standards. B: roll up a new character that isn't a wizard. Sounds like you don't like the wizard or what it has to offer, it sucks but there is literally nothing you can do if you want to...

can we not make the +3 argument nonsense in another thread?

I don't understand, its clearly to limit the crazy spells. Also mid level spells and even low level spells aren't irrelevant in this edition. Seemed clear to me.

I enjoy all of Dragonlance, then again I started reading all of them right around 2000. I see that a lot of people really hate the children stories and onwards, and I don't really see why honestly. I want the stories to continue. I want to know what happened with the staff of magius. I'm happy...

How can you possibly know how you character will act and what paths he will take before actually experiencing the story? Just going for mechanical benefits?

Summon a lot of creatures? Plant a huge banyan grove tree? A couple of coy ponds, stonehenge like structures using mold stone or wood or whatever material you want. /shrug

I'm not actually aware that there were rules for building a grove. I'd say just let your imagination run wild!

There ARE a lot of things missing, but I think the DMG itself will be one of the best we have ever gotten. They had a lot to work with and I think they have distilled it down into something great, much like the other 2 books in the series (if you want to look at it like that). One thing I'm...
