Assassin is hidden and beats the stealth check required, declares hes WANTS to attack, roll initiative. You roll initiative before you fire that arrow... Assassin wins initiative and the person is surprised. Commence attacks, Assassinate. Assassin loses initiative and the person is surprised...

Because it's solid and tangible? When a dwarf says he's a dwarf, it's 100% correct and it's most likely wide spread knowledge of what a dwarf is, unless they're super rare in your campaign. A fighter could mean a host of things, a rogue could mean a host of things. A dwarf usually means a...

Hey now, it works in Dragon Ball Z!!

If you want it to be a named technique or w/e, thats fine and totally plausible if that's what you prefer. What I don't like is that basically you want all of the characters abilities to be spelled out for someone as soon as they name their class to someone. A character should not automatically...

Do you think a Paladin actually calls his Lay on Hands ability Lay on Hands in character? Do you think he says "Stay near me, I have an Aura of ____". This isn't a cartoon where you gotta yell "Go go gadget Lay on Hands!". The terms I use perfectly answer the question as to what the character is...

I'll just be glad when WotC starts talking about ANYTHING OTHER than Rangers... Seriously, the horse has been beaten so badly it's dust...

I voted option 3, No. Why? Because a character introducing themselves as "Hello, I'm Bob, I'm a fifth level Paladin who can attack twice and I also know how to Lay on Hands! Who wants to adventure with me" is stupid... I hate when a character is role played and introduced as their class...

You do realize if he casts the spell as his bonus action and then attacks immediately on the SAME turn he doesn't run the risk of being hit and losing his concentration. So his fear of losing concentration is kinda pointless... This is assuming he hits anyways... PS- the spell lasts up until...

Re-roll a crappy HP roll or to bump a bad roll up to the average if the average wasn't taken.

Having been a soldier myself in real life, this pleases me.

Just a friendly bump. Still $4,000 shy of the goal. I've backed for the Provinces hardback book. Gotta support as many 5E resources as I can, especially for campaign settings.

I'm on the road otherwise I'd chime in more, but in short, as long as everyone had fun I think you made the right call. It looked and sounded cool. You can always look into it more controlled in the future and go from there if you feel it necessary.

Any insight on the new paladin oath? :-P please and thank you!

Off the top of my head, I enjoyed running an adventure where a good chunk of it took place during a really nasty storm. The winds were so bad I had PCs make strength checks to keep from being blown around or knocked over. I also had the wind possibly affect projectile trajectory and also...

I don't see why people can't just move on... 5E is the living active product. People should stop trying to demand that WotC waste their time trying to accommodate systems from 20 years ago... You spent a lot of money on books for previous editions, I get it, but didn't you get your money's...

Completely agree. It sucks to lose fans in the process, but it's just bad business to try and cater to such a small minority of people living in the 80s-90s that are stuck in their ways and get so upset when anyone messes with "their" game.

I totally agree. Anything outside of a core book or a large adventure path type book is simply better suited to being digitally distributed. When I was young I worked for a newspaper distribution center that closed down because no one reads newspapers anymore. Everything is digital now...

You'd be amazed how many people refuse to move with the times. I'm sure there's a huge crowd who would rather have tiny thin magazines snail mailed to them every month...

At first I couldn't figure out why you would say that, because to the best of my knowledge I was the first to ask in that thread. I just went back and re-read the thread and noticed a lot of posts that weren't there originally, so it's possible two different threads were combined? Which would...
