My cleric liked being able to keep up with the rest of the party and being able to jump over a deep ravine... right up to the part where he was alone against six bugbears.

So something I'm curious about: Does the fact that they reference the Seeker Patron, but not the Undying Light Patron, give an indication that they dropped the latter? It seems like if they wanted to keep a previous subclass around they reference in a relevant UA (such as the Ranger rework...

In terms of pact boons: What about a boon that gave the warlock a couple extra long rest slots, a la a 1/3rd caster? I'm sure it wouldn't be immediately balanced, but it could work out, if done right.

As somebody who really likes the Pact of the Undying's flavour, I'm fairly jealous that there's all these cool invocations that I'm barred from and will likely never have any unique invocations of my own, unless they decide to reprint it in a future book. That's one of the main problems with...

It's only been around 12 years in universe since the 4e stuff, hasn't it? I would assume that the best way to go about it is "Like the 4e version, unless otherwise noted."

Goblin 24 Hobgoblin 23. Orc 22.

Why go for a Dragon? Wouldn't a Mind Flayer be more effective, or would that possibly end up being too well known to the Githyanki (thereby giving some kind of benefit to their save?)

One thing I noticed in OD&D's XP progression relative to hit points: It seems like the hit point total is close to, but just *barely* ahead of the lower hit die class of equivalent XP. That said, I still need to do a bit more testing, particularly with clerics, which have decent hit point and...

This doesn't account for an area of old school multiclassing that occurred (though it'd be difficult to implement without redoing character progression entirely). Classes didn't have a unified XP rate. This would cause individuals of different classes to be at different levels (though in OD&D...

How high level is the BBEG? At a high enough level game, simply being a mastermind rogue allows you to circumvent the spell.

I found the source. It's a twitter post from Chris Perkins: https://twitter.com/ChrisPerkinsDnD/status/723651126185308162?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Just about done LMoP, next game will be A great Upheaval with one of my players DMing. After that I'll run a game with a chunk of land that has hooks to various APs (Mainly HotDQ with a shortened chapt 4, PoTA with the mega dungeon split up from the keeps, and CoS except with Death house in the...

So if we add in BM lunging strike for a 25 foot reach... We can now reach further with a pole-arm than most thrown weapons can be thrown without disadvantage!

It's not especially bad for a melee Dex fighter either. It's not like they have access to a GWM or Sharpshooter of their own, so they might as well take Medium Armour Mastery for that 18 AC in half-plate.

The latest Unearthed Arcana from Mearls and Crawford is up. "Two classes—the ranger and the rogue—discover new playtest possibilities this week. The ranger receives two Ranger Archetype options: the Horizon Walker and the Primeval Guardian, both of which work with the Player’s Handbook ranger...

I saw that, and I wonder which one will have to be locked.

Just to focus on this matter specifically: It is actually mentioned in the DMG (page 84) that you should ideally have two short rests to every long rest. Otherwise, yes. People aren't necessarily going to play in the same way that the game is theorycrafted, if only because the DM and players...

You'd be surprised at how many quirks a game engine might develop over the coding process. It's theoretically possible to develop 5e's system on it, but I'm not familiar with the engine to say how many workarounds and other idiosyncrasies would need to be overhauled.

Incidentally, the reason why D&D moved away from unified damage was because Gygax's players didn't feel encouraged to use weapons that "played to type", instead resorting to Iron spikes because they were equally effective as the other weapons. Just an interesting observation that two people can...
