    D&D 5E (2014) concentration and temp HP

    Crawford thinks so. I'm inclined to agree, otherwise that really makes the fiend pact much better than the other warlock pacts. https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/503958007177166848

    D&D 5E (2014) Can someone please explain to me why there are still no PDFs for 5e core books?

    Digital books don't get D&D more exposure to the uninitiated. Only dead tree has a presence in the real world. Someone sees you staring at a screen, nothing new there. The book however can be seen, felt, read, borrowed and even passed down. Things seem to have changed around here, I remember...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rogues (melee-based) & Two-Weapon Fighting: Why not always do it?

    Sneak opportunities vary enough to where the rogue has to be ready for ranged or melee. Drop your dagger because you want to get out your short bow and you screwed up your stealth as the dagger you were holding clatters to the dungeon floor

    D&D 5E (2014) Rogues (melee-based) & Two-Weapon Fighting: Why not always do it?

    Having at least a hand free can be a valuable thing when you want to climb in a pinch. But mostly it comes down to cunning action. If the other players see you can get your sneak from an off hand attack, the other players may start expecting you take one for then team and make that second...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is my best bet for some cheap, decent miniatures?

    Just use bigger monsters. Heck many older minis for monsters were kinda small IMHO, so if you have older Ral Partha figs, those should be fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is my best bet for some cheap, decent miniatures?

    Really? About how big would you say he is? The 2nd Edition AD&D Red Dragon topped out at 354 feet end to end.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are DMs getting lazy?

    Folks have other things to do with their time away from game. Even if the DM doesn't work, they may have plenty of other duties, activities and hobbies to devote their time to than be a unpaid game designer.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is Missing from 5E?

    It's there for the monsters that need it. And it currently has the No Components thing going for it.

    D&D 5E (2014) XP per Session !!???

    One way to adjust the leveling speed is to use more lower level monsters.

    D&D 5E (2014) Online encounter difficulty calculator

    XP multiplier can be misleading. Sure on an empty battlmat a bunch of extra foes makes things hairy quickly, but the availability of cover or structures to channel foes makes an enormous difference.

    D&D 5E (2014) Jumping

    I'd say they get a running leap and then catch the edge if their hands are free, they then climb up their (height x1.5) provided they have remaining speed. Really It's up to the DM, but I recommend not being generous as the jumping rules themselves are quite generous to start with. Hanging on...

    AD&D 2E Yup, it's confirmed, 5E is the easiest version to run since 2E.

    It takes SOME work learning the 5e CR method, but IMO the 2E XP guidelines could have used a bit more precision.
