    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron in 5th Ed - Ideas

    Interesting stuff! I'm going to try to read up on Eberron some more today. So the key is lots of magic items of a practical nature, very few with military purposes. Something about the magic used to enchant weaponry and armour being of a different nature. Easy enough to enchant on a temporary...

    Bardificer - An Eberron-style Artificer based on the Bard class

    Haha yeah! How about 'Minor Artifice'? 'Magic Charm? 'Minor Charm'?

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron in 5th Ed - Ideas

    I really like the whole dungeonpunk aesthetic but I didn't really think that Eberron would fit well with the implied scarcity of magic items in 5th Ed. I saw Staffan's idea for a custom artificer located here and it got me thinking about how Eberron might work out so I thought I'd write a post...

    Bardificer - An Eberron-style Artificer based on the Bard class

    Looks good to me! Hard to give any real feedback without playtesting it. I don't really have any experience with Eberron either but it seems to have the flavour I'd imagine when I hear 'artificer'. I'm pretty interested in delving into Eberron as DM so I'll keep this in mind if I ever get round...

    Does anyone know which temple the hookshot is found in?!

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me to Spend the Money

    Errr...the artwork's really nice in a way that's pretty different to how nice the artwork in Pathfinder is. I really like the artwork in the Pathfinder books and I also really like the artwork in the 5e books. Pathfinder seems to go for quite a flashy, colourful, almost dungeonpunk style...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your campaign storyline about? Here is mine.

    Where do you live? Can I play in your game?!?! :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Topics for a camp

    Unless your players are brand new to RPing, there's a risk that this will feel too much like you're telling them what to do. It might work if one of your NPCs starts up a conversation but otherwise I think it'll feel a bit like you're telling them how to RP. I think it's a good point that...

    Floating stat increases for all races?

    I was wondering if people thought it would be possible for the PC races to not have defined stat increases. They'd keep all the extra features they have like darkvision, weapon proficiencies, etc., but instead of having a fixed +2 to one stat and +1 to another, they'd have +2 to any stat and +1...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you decide which Races to disallow (and/or Classes)?

    As a player, I'll generally decide if I'm interested in joining a campaign based on whatever introductory information the DM puts forward, and then I'll pretty much accept whatever restrictions the DM decides on and then work from there. I'm never single-minded enough about a character concept...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are hardback AP's a waste?

    I'm the person who brought up the hardcover/softcover issue in the other thread. I didn't end up buying HotDQ, purely because the fact that it was a hardcover put it out of my price range. I've bought a few Paizo APs now (all softcover), because they're just in that price range that I can...

    D&D 5E (2014) What kind of adventures would you rather see for 5th edition?

    I have no need for the added durability and extra cost involved in printing adventures in hardback format, so I'd prefer it if they moved over to the paperback format that Pathfinder's APs are in. I don't really like hardback books in general, whether that's novels, comics or whatever.

    D&D 5E (2014) A maladroit rogue?

    Cool, well my character background is that he's one of the sons of a pigment mining clan (an idea I had from a game I was DMing) who previously dealt with the mercantile side of their operation, taking their produce out for sale in the city. He was caught running a smuggling operation on the...

    D&D 5E (2014) A maladroit rogue?

    I'm putting together a rogue for adventurers league, but I'm stuck on the idea of playing a dwarf so the maximum dex I could have is 15. I'm really not bothered about playing the most optimal character possible, but would a rogue with low dex and high strength be doable? By 'low dex', I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you decide which Races to disallow (and/or Classes)?

    I was thinking about having the 'standard' races set as humans, dwarves, elves, half-elves, half-orcs, gnomes and halflings, which players would have free reign to pick and choose from. There would then be 'monstrous' races, which would be things like warforged, gnolls, tieflings, maybe...

    D&D 5E (2014) Gaining Experience

    I don't like grinding for XP in videogames, let alone in a tabletop RPG where the amount of play time is limited by how often you can all get together. Seems like too much of a distraction from the story.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Turn Undead conundrum

    I think we've all been there! :D I see turn undead as being a battlefield control ability. You turn X% of the undead you're facing, meaning there are X% fewer undead to deal with right now and X% fewer attacks against your party for the moment. You deal with the undead that weren't turned and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hit Point Recovery Too Generous

    I have a question for Eric42 (the OP): How many hit points do you normally recover when you wake up in the morning? If you want realism, just use that number to inform your house rules.
