    D&D 5E (2014) Does it seem like Nerath was dropped like a bad habit?

    My problem with that is that Nerath was a nice basis for a GM to take off and run. It's a nice middle road for those who do not wish to start from scratch but also do not want to try mix their campaign into a well detailed world like Faerun.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does it seem like Nerath was dropped like a bad habit?

    So far I'm liking what I'm seeing in the PHB but I noticed one thing that kind of bothers me. There is mention of Dragonlance, Greyhawk, and of course Forgotten Realms all through the PHB but NOTHING about Nerath. Now I understand that this world never got a setting although the Monsters of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Review of New Players Handbook Posted at Acts of Geek...

    I wish it reviewed the content more. The pictures are great but they will not affect the actual game.

    D&D 5E (2014) I can haz WILD MAGE and the first DRAGONBORN art?

    Anyone think the level 18 ability is kind of lame? So if I cast an 8d6 damage fireball and I get a 6 , I get an extra d6. Hold me in case I pass out from the awesomeness!

    D&D 5E (2014) Comment on the negative article by John Dodd

    Yeah I don't think the article was a fair comparison. I think they are not the same products. The DnD Starter is really just an Adventure much like Keep on the Shadowfell. It's not designed to be a stand alone game. It's the reason why I actually purchased the product which is something I've...

    There is nothing nostalgic about silly things from old editions. If they don't have anything clever for the trident they should just remove it like they did the Katana.

    I don't understand why a trident has the same stats as a spear but costs more, weighs more and is a martial weapon.... I know this was brought up in the beta.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wait, what IS the point of Acrobatics?

    You are going to see non-"rule-supported actions" a lot in 5e. It's because stuff like this is supposed be left up to the GM. If you think it's not important of a skill then don't use it in your game. I for one will call for it quite often.

    The Power of "NO". Banned Races and Classes?

    I ban awesome Class hybrids like the Paladin/Warlock. I would reach for the ban stick if someone came to be with a drow, vampire, or talking dog without a really awesome story to back up the idea.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Icons of the Realms Starter Sets have arrived

    They should have made two sets. One set like the did and one set with Eliminster and the other minis with the opposite sex.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do we know if they are keeping the 20 Natural score cap? What about expanded backgrounds?

    There is nothing wrong with what you like. I just happen to like something a little different.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do we know if they are keeping the 20 Natural score cap? What about expanded backgrounds?

    I want a feat at level 1 because I feel like every Level 1 will be the same as every other one without it. Background wouldn't do enough to change that. For instance, if a wizard is really good at fire spells, I want to be able to show that at first level. Not at 3rd level when they can...

    D&D 5E (2014) So, this is it.

    The one thing I'm afraid of is the fact that spellcasters were really gimped for high level spell slots for the entire playtest. I hope this was corrected because it really discourages me from using high level spells in combat. And if I'm just the same spells I did at lower levels then where...

    Why is the Mule considered a Game Breaker?

    You understand!

    Why is the Mule considered a Game Breaker?

    Also, if you haven't seen Weem's Mulenomicon cover then you are missing out!

    Why is the Mule considered a Game Breaker?

    I basically implied that the Mule was not in the 4e game because it made characters too powerful like hour long buffs, wish spells, and 10 foot poles. It was a satirical protest about how anything that didn't relate to combat was removed from the game and left for the GM to deal with. People...

    Why is the Mule considered a Game Breaker?

    Yeah , I felt it helped the satire if I added to the 4 year old thread instead of starting a new one. It does make me very happy that the new edition is more than just a dungeon delve game and includes little things like the Mule.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pages from the PHB

    The only thing I have to say is that I hope random charts that fill the whole page are very rare in the book. Edit: Oh and he totally ripped off JJ Abram's joke of teasing us about the Falcon.
