    What is the status of Cormyr in 5e?

    You mean... the ones that didn't just survived, reincarnated or basically came back from wherever they were hiding? And the political history might have changed, but the status came back to what it were in 3e. Jokes aside... I also hate the 100-years advance. They had to keep it moving...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Eberron in 5e

    This is quite nice! He also tackles the old racial prestige classes with racial archetypes... which... I think is a cool idea!

    Looks like it's time for a Warlord Sub-Forum Again...somehow.

    This is an important part of the discussion that gets no attention at all, because... When prompted with Options 1 and 2, what we get is mostly whining because it's not Option 3. But... that's exactly what people are after!! Since 5E have this huge emphasis on characterization... why not use...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Eberron in 5e

    Just noticed I used Diplomacy instead of Persuasion, outch. The problem is 3.5 had skills based on senses (Spot and Search) and 5E have skills based on broad concepts (Insight, Perception, Investigation), so matching those is a bit tricky. I still think Cannith should have some kind of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Eberron in 5e

    I always saw Tharashk more as Trackers than Inquisitives, which would be the Medani... but it's been such a long time since I last played in Eberron and had a chance to read my books that I may be mixing things up :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Eberron in 5e

    I'm not keen on giving bonus to Perception since it's the game's best skill... however, Kundarak and Medani are very tied to Perception. Insight is a OK alternative, but Investigation is a bit lame IMO, but that might be me not fully aware of the difference between that and Perception, always...

    Looks like it's time for a Warlord Sub-Forum Again...somehow.

    From SCAG: We had our Warlord all along! Wow! It's nice of these forums to learn new words (like vitriolic). I don't like the Warlord from 4E, but I kinda like PDK implementation... however I agree with you when you say Inspiring Surge comes a bit late in the game. On the other hand, if you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Eberron in 5e

    That's supposed to be easy... House Cannith, Making -> Arcana + 1 Tool ('cos tool proficiency is mostly fluffy) House Deneith, Sentinel -> Athletics (Mercenary) or Investigation (Sentinel Marshal) ('cos military, resistance, good with basic maneuvers like shove) House Ghallanda, Hospitality ->...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Eberron in 5e

    Actually, Eberron5e.com is a great source of material... The guy (gal? guys? gals?) behind it get what the setting is about and make some great implementations on races, specially Warforged (albeit on the overpowered side for the heavier version). Still think nobody nailed Dragonmarks in 5e...

    D&D 5E (2014) How much Warlord do you want?

    Somehow I hope Moderators re-open the Warlod-only subforum untill this cool down again... This is the best answer: Nontheless, this will always be true: Anyway... Barolo, you're part of the silent majority regarding this subject

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Eberron in 5e

    As Tersival, I'm a huge Eberron fan. I think we have enought setting material from 3.5 era so that we don't need more details... but I'd love an adventure. There are so many interesting themes in Eberron to official adventures to explore. Besides that, we really need the cruch... Psionics for...

    What is the status of Cormyr in 5e?

    Completely agree with you, Sir. I do kind-of-miss the excessive detail of 3E FRCS, but the overview given in SCAG is great entry-point for interesting locations and NPCs without being overwhelming (like FRCS was, frankly... even the font size was smaller than other 3E books for god's sake)...

    What is the status of Cormyr in 5e?

    SCAG also has a few lines on Cormyr. But AFAIK, the Realms are today what they were in 3E. Almost all changes from 4e were reversed (thank god), and when things couldn't just be reversed/retconned, they were placed in a way that seemed like "things going back to what they were"... Anyway...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Hardcore: Monster Manual

    I'm sad I don't have enought skill mastery nor time to help with this project, 'cos it's a great job! One abbility I think is expecially interesting is the immunity to cantrips... heck, that's basic yet very very cool. If it was your own idea, kudo - if you borrowed from somewhere else, please...
