I do not think this (3/day) is a good idea. Some groups (like my group) play with a "very low number of encounters per day". Some days even have only 1 or 2 (but hard ones ^^). 3/day in comparision to "one per short rest" would be a HUGE change in the balance for us. Of course I still can...

For the discussion of Vitality it might be interesting to discuss the way this was handled in the german RPG system Midgard: - When an attack hit the defender did a "defense roll" - If the defense roll with all boni added had at least the value of the attack roll with all boni added, the...

The problem I had of the article was - when we started To play 5e it was a big issue with players that if They do spells they do not do a single Dice roll and only the DM does it. Our main DM and me (secondary DM) sat together, thought For maybe 15 minutes and then had a "Players do all saves"...

The Saving Throws for the "Player-Roll" system are wrong. To get mathmatically the same result as RAW you just have to subtract 12 from the DC. Then roll D20. If you roll at least 10+<enemies stat bonus> he fails the Save. In our group we are using this system already since starting with 5e...

The way it was done is it could not have been fixed in the automatic conversion tool. It would needed to be fixed in the OUTPUT of the conversion tool (the things which were at issue were hard to interpret by an automatic tool - which resulted in stuff like that when certain Paladin abilities...

Assuming the license does not require code changes at least I could release my 5e datafiles on the same day the ogl arrives. Might of course be lone wolf later release spmething more sophisticated especially as far as the gui goes. the gui of my datafiles is basically the gui of the authoring...

All actual content (classes , sprlls, feats, items,...) was autogenerated code done by the extraction tool. I wrote all those bugreports with suggested fixes to the autogen code and they basically answered me they had no license and could not include this fixes with hl. Flawed as the...

Btw my own implementation of hero lab datafiles for 5e is nearly finished (phb finished, dmg around 60 percent). Got the ok of hero lab guys that i can - assuming a fitting ogl arrives - give it to people even if the have their own official Implementation. Oh I would have hoped WotC to have an...

Missing: Excalibur, Stormbringer, Durandal (Roland's Sword), Gram (Siegfried's Sword) - and probably some more Swords from northern legend Which more or less formed our image of "magic swords".

In our local group one player plays a pixie. The following are our houserule racials: On Butterfly's Wings: You can fly (if not carrying more than normal load) with a speed of 30 feet per round, with a maximum height of 100 feet. After 10 minutes of flight you need to land. Pixie Nimbleness...

I am really wondering... if these two companies worked together, didn't they have a contract? Or a Specification? If what Trapdoor was working on complied with the Specification there would not have been much room to cancel the contract based on it... if they didn't have such... well, big...

Just one last comment in this thread to this issue: you all misunderstand me. My GM has NO problem balancing his encounters on 1-2 enc. Per day (they are really HARD). His problem with Shield is more on rhe "it is unfair to the other chars who do Not have this clearly op spell". Will make...

I am pretty sure you will be able to see my point that characters with 21+ AC EVERY combat round are "too indistructible" (add in Haste and we are at AC 23). And thanks to mage armor the fighter NEVER will have more AC, actually never even the same. The fighter will have AC 18 or 20 (1H or 2H...

Give him Con 14 and the +2 HP/lvl Feat and that's fixed. Though admitted Shield is not the only issue with AC. Magic Armor with > +1 is an issue as well (until now we assumed no armor with bigger plus than +1 would exist, and even that would be pretty rare which worked quite well - but it seems...

Sure about this? If 1st is 2 and 3rd is 3, what about 2nd, then? Same like 1st? Also, did they include any rule to ensure there is no broken-ness with the Shield-Spell? (A wizard able to cast Shield 20-30x a day might make the "best tank" Asides from the Eldritch knight who could cast it 10x...

Or it might just still be "too early to think about even" as without an official licence all regarding 5e will be uninteresting to them.

schekker: expendability has been a big design Criteria for my datafiles. I just would hope people would stop believing Stuff done by companies has advantages over big private projects. There Is NO advantage in starting over from scratch again. To my credits i have a backgrounds i have 15+ years...

Btw over at lone wolf forums i posted my current todo list to show how far i am with finishing. It is down to 11 items, most of it minor stuff like code changes to specific magic items.

BTW: The two new specs from the DMG preview. Work of one evening ;-)
