    D&D 5E (2014) Do summoned monsters alter CR? Or award XP?

    Make the crocs actual trained animals instead of summons and give the shaman a different spell to cast. Solves any XP questions.

    Agents of SHIELD low figures?

    I'm sure that one of the main cast turning out to be a turned off a few viewers. Something like that is a great shocker for a finale, but it will also cost return viewers who liked that character the way they were. And no matter how many Freudian excuses a character has, siding with that group...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual - What pictures really stood out, or changed your view on a monster?

    I really dug how the head harkened back to the 1E design. It's cool, though what I thought at first was somebody wanted their Slitherblade Tidehunter miniature statted up. Yeah, nasty and ugly as it should be and it nicely echos the 2E Monstrous Manual version. Well, the psychedelic colours...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the 5e Monster Manual the best MM ever?

    Too much blank space holds this volume back. 2e Monstrous Manual still holds my vote for overall best official monster book.

    Cooperative Games

    Not completely true. While a 'obnoxious tactician' type person can exacerbate the issue, many co-op games have base difficulty levels where the most fun action is often not the most advantageous action.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rise of Tiamat Delayed

    Pass the four and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie, I need to eat some crow. Odd, for some reason I thought the books were outsourced...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rise of Tiamat Delayed

    They had the books printed in China to save a buck and now there are quality control issues, not too surprising. Double checking the work of someone you chose for low costs isn't something deserving of kudos, it is simply not being lazy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Attacking the unaware

    And if combat is already going on, unless the foe is rubbing up against whatever is letting you hide, they will normally see you as you come out to get at them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Area Effects: How much does a foe need to be inside the area to be affected?

    Since the square grid locking foes into precise locations is only now a variant, and that area affects are distinctly non grid shaped other than the cube, how are the folks handling Area Effects and potential victims? It can be a big deal since a low level caster might be happy clipping a few...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Contagion OP?

    The spell's level. Most important part of the spell. If the effect reads like it's stronger than the level indicates, then it's obvious it doesn't work like the spell reads.

    is it me? FFG Star Wars

    Sorry man, Savage Worlds is very swingy and a bit too rewarding of cation to the wind style play. When the main Dev goes on for multiple posts trying to justify why taking Full Defense is worse than Normal Defense action, there is a problem that goes beyond that section of the rules.

    D&D 5E (2014) summon animals

    Yea, see monster show up after a caster wiggles their fingers and shouts gibberish, you know who to take out before they summon more.

    Dungeons and Dragons Movie Rights go to trial

    Anything that undoes any of the damage Lorraine Williams did to the D&D brand is a good thing. That :mad::mad::mad::mad: can even make Hasbro's Megacorp lawyers look like heroes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hard Mode Campaigning

    The group I'm in decided that the trauma of Death saves stick and don't go away until a long rest. So you can't use the dying rules to Yo-yo up and down quite so much.

    Replacing or modifying kuo-toans

    Use the Skum for feircer memebers with the Locathah comprising the more civilized members of the race.. Deploy Large fishmen that are just aquatic Ogres or maybe aquatic hill giants, (Switch the thrown rocks to oversized tridents). Green or black dragon with a squid head could make a good...

    How do you play an Eldritch Knight without armor?

    :hmm: Because D&D is a team game. A Competent at all Things character would be fine in a Solo game where there is just the Player and a DM/Computer, but since there are other players, one character should not be able to do everything or even a majority of things.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    It is an explanation that works well enough, though could you tell me when they did first mention the link? Back in the 1E dragon article they just had the description of Bear body with humanish bison head and man hands and splayed man-feet, without much background beyond dumb demon war...
