Ok using your logic a 17th level wizard / 3rd level ranger can cast up to 9th level wizard spells and up to 5th level ranger spells since they have the slots and can learn any ranger spell they have slots for when they level up? Except the book specifically says the ranger can't do that with an...

I agree it would be a very odd way of thinking about it if a 1st level cleric knows all clerical spells up to 9th level but simply cant cast them until they get the magical slots. As you say I'm not sure why anyone would play it that way. If true it would mean a 19th level wizard who takes their...

The multi classing rules state you can only prepare spells that you know, and a first level cleric only knows 1st level spells. The example given of the ranger/wizard is pretty specific. There has been some debate over the wizard since they can have higher level spells in their spellbook should...

This is similar to how Ed Greenwood envisioned the Realms gods from this quote "my way was to think of the universe as having its own rules of existence that shaped and contained/limited the gods in the same way it did mortals (these were, after all, fallible gods, not all-seeing, all-knowing...

I have been using the 5e DMG guidelines with some success. Encounter chance 18-20 on a D20, rolled x times per day. I tend to go for 3-4 times per day. You can also apply a modifier to the encounter chance to represent more populated areas. So remote unpopulated areas might get -2 to the roll...

Our campaigns hop about from prime to prime occasionally and rather than saying that time is fixed between them we assume that its more like a river, in that it flows at different rates and creates eddies where time slows. So sometimes 1 year in Greyhawk might be equal to 1 year in Faerun, but...

I have added the double weapons into my game but not as exotic weapons as I don't want to invent a new feat. So martial weapons however, to make the best use out of them you need polearm master for the Urgosh (otherwise its just a battleaxe in two hands) and dual wielder for the double weapons...

Depends on the game you want to play and the world you play in. In your world you can of course have it like that but in Forgotten Realms that's not how it is. You have several gods that were mortal and have only been gods for a few hundred years - Mystra, Bane, Cyric, Bhaal, Kelemvor..... You...

Although I am all for fighting gods and demons in D&D I do think it would be nice to have an adventure released that didn't involve that.

Being a deity didn't mean anything back then though. They were just a bunch of stats in the monster manual, and therefore monsters to fight. The deities in Deities and Demigods where wildly differing in power, both combat and influence. Only 3rd edition really gave deity a special meaning as far...

I imagine that generally that is the case still. However I think in Rise of Tiamat that actually was the real entity trying to come to the prime to rule and cause devastation. She wouldn't have needed the whole hoard and ritual thing for an avatar. In the case of the demon princes if we use the...

The combat ability of a deity should not be a reflection of their influence. If a demon prince is physically more dangerous than a deity then I don't see a problem with that - especially that demon prince. Also, we only saw stats for Tiamat on a prime where she does not have huge influence...

I'm interested to see how they do it. If Drizzt fights and possibly defeats Demogorgon in the novel then I guess the adventure can't really use him except as a story backdrop. Or maybe he can't defeat him and then asks the party to do it if they can. Or maybe Demogorgon isn't really used in the...

Good job you are not writing the novel then...sounds boring. I am assuming that this part will be the Drizzt (Salvatore) story and the players will be doing other stuff

I kind of go the other way :) 'When everyone's super, no one is!'

I agree but see that's where the module descriptions are being over dramatic. I very much doubt the world is remotely facing destruction. There have been many demon and devil incursions into the Realms and most of them count as local issues. Now not knowing the details of this adventure I'm not...

No they could just use it since there are no restrictions. Wands of magic missiles are supposed to be used by anyone. Think of them as the wizards 'hand me down' when they find a better wand or staff

Except they aren't high level organizations, just a couple of high level characters who probably have no wish to get involved. We have a long term campaign where we are 20+ level on the Sword Coast and have absolutely no time or desire to get stuck into in any of these adventure paths or their...

Remember though that these rules were in the playtest until the very end. Where they removed from the PHB because of balance? Or maybe to simplify a rarely used option? This option was in 3rd edition throughout and it never caused a balance issue or created a problem for the sorcerer. We used it...

Well in 3.x it took a minimum of 15 minutes to prep a partial spell list and an hour for the full lot. You didn't want to be wandering around with no spells at all so we would typically prep the go-to spells which was somewhere between half to three quarters of your total and left the rest open...
