    D&D 5E (2014) War of the Burning Sky (5E)

    At the moment, my conversion notes are just a Word document with lists of the 5E creatures I'm using in the first several encounters. Well, and Torrent's stats, but I included that in the OP here already. I'm not good at taking notes. I could stand to write more of it down.

    D&D 5E (2014) War of the Burning Sky (5E)

    Well, I may have been optimistic trying to get this started right before Christmas time. Although that wasn't really what slowed me down (it was certainly a contributing factor) as much as some more unexpected surprises--not all bad, the most significant was an unexpected promotion that really...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting Above 1st Level: Gear

    Magic items are included on the table on page 38 in the DMG. Separately, I mean, not as part of the suggested starting wealth.

    D&D 5E (2014) War of the Burning Sky (5E)

    Sorry for my silence over the weekend. That was unexpectedly hectic... I'll try to get caught up some later today.

    D&D 5E (2014) War of the Burning Sky (5E)

    I don't see why not. Oh sure, definitely. I'm not going to give a blanket yes to that, but I'm not going to say no either. If there's something you want, run it by me. In this case, sure, that looks fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Assualt on Dire Wood [OOC]

    No cost to squire the spells, though? That's what I meant.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sleep is not a save-or-die spell (minor rant)

    Damage spells progress towards the target's defeat. Sleep is all-or-nothing. It's not really like a damage spell except being based on the same defense--hp.

    D&D 5E (2014) War of the Burning Sky (5E)

    Torrent won't be with the party forever and I wouldn't call her "scholarly," but if you feel she steps on your toes having the same class let me know. The NPC companions are less important than the PCs. I can rewrite/-build her any number of ways. I'll probably try to recruit 6-ish? Maybe a bit...

    D&D 5E (2014) Assualt on Dire Wood [OOC]

    What's the cost of those extra spells? Also, I'm assuming that if wizards can, so can warlocks with Book of Ancient Secrets.

    D&D 5E (2014) 2nd Trivia Quiz on 5e Dungeons&Dragons

    Unless you're also going to argue that "ranged attack roll" and "ranged weapon attack" are two different things, I'm not sure why that matters. Both ranged spell attacks and ranged weapon attacks use ranged attack rolls.

    D&D 5E (2014) Assualt on Dire Wood [OOC]

    I'm working on a warlock, Great Old One patron and tome pact. Probably a half-elf.

    D&D 5E (2014) War of the Burning Sky (5E)

    A bard is absolutely fine. Great, even. (And I know you are. I got distracted writing this post plotting a warlock for that game.)

    D&D 5E (2014) War of the Burning Sky (5E)

    This is a 5E conversion of the War of the Burning Sky adventure path. You can find the campaign's Player Guide here. We're using the 3.5 version, so check that version of the Player Guide--but since we're converting the campaign into a different edition you can ignore any rules material. If...

    Looking for solo & 2-player tabletop recommendations

    I love Pandemic. Haven't tried The Cure, yet. The In the Lab expansion for original Pandemic adds a solo mode... I haven't tried it, yet either. Really, with a co-op game that doesn't include secret information, you can make it a solo game just by playing two characters yourself. Mice &...

    Help Me Remember That Encounter

    It's sounds kinda like the Bugbear Brawl encounter while the PCs are visiting the Darguun Bloody Market in the 3.5 Eberron Adventure Shadows of the Last War. Some details don't quite match, though--are you certain of those?

    D&D 5E (2014) Limiting use of cantrips - what are the consequences?

    D&D 5E (2014) Selling a spellbook

    The maximum suggested value for scrolls is lower than that until 4th-level spells, and scrolls are better than enemy spellbooks (they can be used like spellbooks, but can also be used as consumable items, can be used by more characters, and can be purchased individually rather than in bundles...

    D&D 5E (2014) Improved Invisibility vs Haste

    If you don't have at least two attacks, the second attack is the clear winner. Both Advantage and a free attack grant you one extra die roll--their chance to hit and crit at least once are completely equal, but with the extra attack you have the chance to hit with both. If you roll a 1 and a 20...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    Well, one of those is not like the others, since "homeless man" is still something that happens to you. But even that one is quite different from what a person looks like, which I can't call a path in any sense.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    Falling outside of what you consider physically attractive isn't actually a type of life. Well, "choosing a path" and having something happen to you without realizing it are kinda opposites. No, that's more like what I said. Although you're still ignoring that those are often results of...
