    The amount of distance you cover in a running Jump is also equal to your Strength score.

    Aldani (from Jungles of Chult)

    Lobsterfolk from 'Jungles of Chult (1993)', 'Serpent Kingdoms (2004)' and 'Fiend Folio (2003)'. Tried to balance them against a Bugbear, but pretty sure they are not as good right now. Aldani Medium humanoid, lawful neutral Armor Class 16 (natural armor) Hit Points 27 (5d8 + 5) Speed 30 ft...

    D&D 5E (2014) Knowledge: Nobility and Local?

    Planer specifically is mentioned under Arcana.

    D&D 5E (2014) Knowledge: Nobility and Local?

    Probably Nature, depending on how well cataloged your world is.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wizard with 20 CON and the Durable feat

    I think we have got side tracked fro the real question raised by the OP. Which is 'who has rocks fall only do 1d4 damage?!?'

    How Gary Gygax lost control of D&D

    Arneson was a player in Dave Wesley's Braunstein game, which seems to have been the first tabletop role playing game as we would understand it. But he did not publish anything so largely gets forgotten.

    D&D 5E (2014) Official complete background list!

    A lot of nobles are hard up, because its something you are born too. Merchants on the other-hand is something you do. That said, we are going to see a lot more backgrounds I think. Apparently Tyranny of Dragons has two more already, and I would not put it past someone to start doing a big fan...

    D&D 5E (2014) Official complete background list!

    If so, I hope it reappears. I really liked the bounty board. Although I suppose I could just add them to the campaign as a resource for everyone. It has both types of merchant, Charlatan and Criminal. ;o)

    D&D 5E (2014) Moar Feats

    Working on the Alpha, the only viable way to make your character 'durable' is to be summoned from another plane by a level 14 conjurer.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wizard with 20 CON and the Durable feat

    I agree, the wording is odd. It's a bit of an odd Feat all round tbh. Most things that give minimums of dice rolls give a re-roll, except the Rogues take a 10 power-thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wizard with 20 CON and the Durable feat

    Fear might be a plan, but I will probably try Dire Charm first.

    Yeah, after reading it three times I am pretty sure this is right.

    D&D 5E (2014) Removing Daily/Encounter Powers from the Fighter

    The Fighter in the play test who regained all of his Dice every turn was by far the most popular at my table. Unfortunately people seem married to the idea that a Fighter subclass had to provide 'encounter powers'.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter set cover art meh?

    Its pretty clear they cut back the art to cut down costs. That said I do like the cover, its a homage to the Basic Set cover you have pictured above. Some of the filler art strikes me as very odd though. Page 12: Some Mushrooms... why? How many meetings did they have to discuss if that should...

    D&D 5E (2014) Animal Companions in 5th Edition

    Well firstly note that the Charmed condition does not compel a creature to fight for you. Conjure Animals is perhaps a better spell, as it summons some magical animals that will fight for you if commanded to (presumably taking up your action to command them). Secondly, right now, making a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Adv/Disadv - how often do you use?

    I cant find the Mearls quote because Twitter is a nightmare to search, but I don't believe he was talking about the Help action, no. I personally would not let you get Advantage with the Acrobatics skill without spending an action to do so, which probably means its not going to kick in until...

    Jeff Grubb, it was a proposed setting for 2e.
