Urchin is the example background that Tika picks, so presumably is in, that's 10...

I think it was Mearls that suggested that as a rule of thumb, anything like that should only give Advantage if you spent an action doing it.

Sorcerer's get way more Sorcery Points (20 at level 20 rather than 12) Mountain Dwarves get racial Armour Proficiencies

This.

Really? Wow, we played that wrong a lot.

While melee range is almost always a issue*, it does mean you don't suffer disadvantage when using it when you are in melee, so that's some benefit*. **look how I avoid saying disadvantage/advantage...

I think it is now a 15' cube that you are touching at one side. You are not the center of the effect like in 4e.

It is still possible that Resilient will not actually work the way it did in the Alpha.

I know a lot of UK secondary schools (at least) have D&D as lunchtime activity clubs. When I got a job in a RC school I was hoping to set one up, but one already existed which kind of nixed my plans.

Its worth noting that subclasses are not necessarily about delivering options, they are often about cutting options off. The more sub-classes a class has, the more the designers though that the class is over-powered if allowed to buy everything and started forcing you to only take a sub-sect of...

He was also probably the most skilled killer in the world. Rogue (Assassin), Noble Background, Use Expertise on the Deception Skill.

I was told Darkness, but I don't know if that was from an official source or just a guess.

I think its fair to say that the Basic Rules have already shows that a lot of stuff has changed since the final play test packet.

Because skills are not saving throws? Its the same as why a Reflex save of +5 in 3.5 is not the same as a Acrobatics skill of +5.

Ah the example in the leaked Alpha? Yes, reading that example would seem to back up your interpretation. Although its still not 100% clear cut. If it is the intention that you are capped with low level spells, caster multi-classing is effectively going to be dead in water as an option again.

O.k., look at the rules for picking spells for the Wizard in the basic rules: 'You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your wizard level (minimum of one spell)...

Pretty much, the Universal Spell Slot table. So you don't end up being capped at low level spells.

That is not quite how it works. A first level bard gets 2 first level spells. But the next level they gain spells of any level which they have spell slots. If your already a 17th level sorcerer when you enter bard, that means at second level bard you can take 9th level spells.

It sounds much more impressive when you use the Thaumaturgy cantrip to beef up your introduction. 'I am Bob: *ELDRITCH KNIGHT!*. These are my companions. Suzie: *ASSASSIN!* and Gary: *BATTLE MASTER!*.'

I have player who is looking to run a character who wields a pair of steel fans in combat. Now, in an earlier play test it was suggested that the best way to handle cultural weapons was to just re-skin something on the weapon list. So Nunchaku was a mace, Tanto a dagger, Katana a long sword...
