I teach adults - that technically makes me a trainer rather than teacher but its roughly the same skills. I also write courseware and that certainly has similarities with adventure design.

Yeah I agree - better to look stuff up I would say but much worse as a general peruse. The fact I can't scroll with touch annoys me more than it really should

I think the main problem is the logistics of it. The books aren't sealed (and therefore couldn't contain a voucher), and are not sold direct from WotC (and therefore aren't associated with some sort of online account). I could see a theoretical tie up between pdf and FG, however I'm not sure...

We have played several campaigns in FR Our longest running has spanned Faerun from the Dales, to Vaasa, Waterdeep and Tethyr Another was based around the village of Halendos in Aglarond A campaign set almost entirely during the fall of Ched Nesad Returning to the Shining Plains after the end...

I never liked that 3e version of the buckler where it was kind of strapped to the arm but left the hand free. It doesn't have real world historical example that I have found. I might allow a buckler (small shield) with +1 AC to be equipped (and removed) with an interaction as a held object...

Yes it doesn't shut down recon, as most people would listen at the door anyway, but basically as soon as the door is opened the combat might well begin at close range. Now this doesn't bother the hand crossbow build, but for all other archers its not ideal to begin combat within 20' for the...

Some great adventures already listed. I'll add B6 Veiled Society as it was the first non dungeon crawl we ever did and was a revelation at the time

We have a fairly big emphasis on dungeons and humanoid lairs, especially when it comes to combat. Doors are the biggest problem in the way of scouting ahead, which is why humanoid lairs and the like would often have them. We tend to have rather close quarter combats. Outdoor combats for us are...

So, I am interested to know if its still the case that ranged beats melee when we remove feats. So no ranged attacks in melee (though a couple of rogue levels solves the problem typically), more problems with cover, no bonus action attacks, no damage increases vs typical ACs. Is the inherent...

Also, until 3e the Elder Elemental Eye was actually nothing to do with Tharizdun. If we go back to original Greyhawk the Elder Elemental Eye was some form of ancient primordial planar being which I never felt was tied specifically into that world in any real sense, except for the fact that it...

In the last Drizzt novel there is a paragraph describing a lich called Acerack currently dwelling in Chult. The paragraph kind of stands out as there is no mention of this before or after it and its otherwise fairly irrelevant to the story. I can't see it as anything other than a hint that R.A...

Tomb of horrors themed AP set in Chult is the current thinking. Not sure if this is Labyrinth

That's what I believe the original author hand in mind. Its certainly what I first thought of when I read the feat and only by reading this forum did I release that's not how everyone interpreted it. As CapnZapp says though it makes this part of the feat suck. You can typically get only a...

I disagree too. I like your list of strength options just as much as the dex ones. Athletics is one of the most useful skills in our games. Grappling is very useful. Oh, and you usually do more damage too

Don't forget to pick up their weapon which they probably dropped before you drag them away

Rogue 2 for skills and mobility

In our group we don't allow the extra attack from crossbow expert to come from the same crossbow used for the primary attacks - mainly because that's not what we believe is the intent of the feat (from its wording). Once you remove that ability the dpr drops and the feat becomes harder to...

Have another look at fighter 3 - he is only using 1 hand crossbow. In every way, a single crossbow user is better than a dual crossbow user. That's the whole point my post which you seem to have missed

Yeah I'm on board. A true story... Fighter 1 walks into a tavern after spending the last 6 months on Lantan, with the help of the priests of Gond researching a form of repeating hand crossbow. Between them they have come up with a marvellous invention which allows a cartridge of three bolts to...
