    Which items count towards number of permanent magic items

    I actually made a post about it last November. Here's what Kalani's response was: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?471863-How-to-handle-Finite-Use-Permanent-Magic-Item-found-in-OotA-Encounters-PDF&p=6747946&viewfull=1#post6747946

    Which items count towards number of permanent magic items

    Any magic items with unrecoverable charges, like Necklace of Fireballs.

    Death in Ravenloft after receiving all 4 Dark Gifts?

    The reason that PC death has become memorable at my tables is because it's happened so infrequently in the previous 3 seasons. I've been running AL since November 2014, and only 5 PC deaths have occurred in that time: 2 in PotA and 3 in the RoD AL modules. Fast forward to CoS, and now death...

    Death in Ravenloft after receiving all 4 Dark Gifts?

    Normally, I'd be inclined to agree with you. However, my tables tend to have a special relationship with RNGesus. He seems to make sure that my tables experience a rollercoaster ride for His personal amusement. Ever since that fateful day He allowed a Revenant to kill an annoying player's...

    Death in Ravenloft after receiving all 4 Dark Gifts?

    Is there a rule regarding what happens to a player who dies 4 times, receives all 4 Dark Gifts, and then dies a 5th time? Can they take the Dark Power rez? I have a feeling that it might come up at my hardcover adventure table. My players are just now getting to the end of Death House, yet 5...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can we optimize a Small Barbarian?

    While probably not the most optimal build for DPR, it does have reaching character. :P Gnomega Red Deep Gnome Bear Barbarian 5/Battle Master Fighter 3 Take Sentinel as your free feat (I'm assuming that its part of your character creation house rules) and swap out the Barb 4 ASI for the Dual...

    When and how do you tell a DM he is possibly in error?

    There's a character sheet on DMsGuild that has a Player Reference Sheet in it. I don't remember the exact name of it, but it has /tg/ somewhere in the description. That PRS covers a lot of the basic rules that come into question during play, and includes page citations to the original text. Ever...

    Need help with third tier progression of Fighter/Warlock/Sorcerer mage tank

    Not a big fan of Polymorph for this PC. The character plays more like a magical Tony Stark, using more tool-like spells and being an armored blast cannon. He also can play the party face with relative ease.

    All Change At WotC: New President Arrives From Microsoft As Greg Leeds Resigns

    He certainly looks like a Cocks... :P But in all seriousness, this is probably a good move for the future of the company. Perhaps we'll finally start seeing official digital tools for 5e.

    Need help with third tier progression of Fighter/Warlock/Sorcerer mage tank

    For my mage tank, I went with VHuman Fighter 1/Fiend Tomelock 3/Red Draconic Sorc 6 in that order of level progression so far, with plans to take 10 more Sorc levels. I took the Mobile feat to mitigate the speed penalty, so that I could dump Str and have Dex 14 for better initiative. The...

    Curse of Strahd Backgrounds

    Speaking of backgrounds' starting lifestyle, what is the starting lifestyle of the Haunted One background?

    April AL Releases

    Warfteiner, would these updates also be made to the version that FLGS receive? If not, would the update document at least be made publicly available so that both files can be viewed while running the game?

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Curse of Strahd" (and DDAL adventures)

    If everyone at the table is okay with it, the clouds from a vape pen make a good practical effect for when someone gets consumed by the mists.

    D&D 5E (2014) some tweets

    Thanks for the latest batch of tweets! I sent Jeremy & Mike a tweet asking about standing from prone counting as movement for Booming Blade. I haven't received a reply yet, so I'd be greatly appreciative if someone who actually gets replies from them could ask them as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Battlemaster Maneuvers - only 3-4 good ones?

    Rather than get into a pedantic argument over what does or doesn't qualify as movement, I shall simply agree to disagree with you. May we never sit at a table that the other one is running.

    D&D 5E (2014) Battlemaster Maneuvers - only 3-4 good ones?

    Tripping Attack + Booming Blade = proc the secondary BB damage on a failed save. Since standing from prone eats up half of your speed, it would qualify as movement for the purposes of BB.

    D&D 5E (2014) where you're going to die in CoS (spoilers)

    Forget the bottom of Death House, I've already killed one player on the 3rd floor of DH, have two in the process of making Death Saves, and hit the Druid and Barbarian down to 2 HP. The spectre Life Drained one of the Rogues to death in one hit and left the Paladin making Death Saves. The armor...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best Gish

    For my mage tank, I went with VHuman Fighter 1/Fiend Tomelock 3/Red (or Gold if you're good) Draconic Sorc X in that order of level progression so far. I took the Mobile feat to mitigate the speed penalty, so that I could dump Str and have Dex 14 for better initiative. The pseudo-Disengage also...

    D&D 5E (2014) [GUIDE] Blade, Book, and Chain: the Warlock Guide

    Also, since this is using a variant rule not found in the PHB, the guide's line of thinking will never work in an AL game. I think that the guide needs to be updated to reflect this misinterpretation of the rules. Imp Familiar != Imp familiar. The former is a creature variant with no defined...

    Multiclass Vengence Paladin for Curse of Strahd or no?

    Spell Sniper is solves the range issue of BB/GFB + Reach. I use it in my Belmont Battlebuckler build to use BB/GFB with a whip.
