    D&D 5E (2014) Observations and opinions after 8 levels and a dragon fight

    The weird part here is not so much your reading of the, but rather your insistence on the certainty of the text and your assumption of near unanimous agreement on this, when the text has no explicit mentions of your assertions and the majority of posters here and in other threads actually...

    D&D 5E (2014) Observations and opinions after 8 levels and a dragon fight

    Let's take a look at the Monster Manual and see how it treats Blindsight: "A monster with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius." "Creatures without eyes, such as grimlocks and gray oozes, typically have this special sense, as do creatures...

    D&D 5E (2014) Observations and opinions after 8 levels and a dragon fight

    Bizarre. Having sight allows me to "perceive my surroundings." That does not infer "perceive everything". That is your interpolation. A non-vague rule would be for it to say "stealth does not work against blindsight", but that is not stated. I can't read the rule is saying anything other than...

    D&D 5E (2014) Coming Around on the "Not D&D" D&D Next Train

    This. I look at Next and see a mix between 2nd ed Skills & Powers & 3rd edition. I loved the direction Skills & Powers were going in (I could finally make characters that fit my vision of them) - It was broken, but it was the direction I had hoped to see 3rd edition go in, just made cleaner and...

    Xykon is an epic-level lich optimized for combatting wizards, in his lair with help from high level minions. V might have had raw ultimate power in sheer spell slots and caster level, but neither the experience nor the saving throws, magic items etc. you'd expect from an epic caster. And had...

    Our world through the eyes of a D&D inhabitant

    This Cthulhu sounds way overpowered and I'm not sure I even get this sanity mechanic.

    Who Else Thinks This Chick is Hot?

    say that again! Deserving of a wallpaper - my first effort in the GIMP (1024x768).

    he will be within 1000ft of Girard's gate at some point. a "desert gate, behind an endless series of cunning illusions, relying on the power of deception to protect the gate."

    A question of alignment

    I don't know about you, but our group ends up spending a significant amount of time discussing moral philosophy. An example, in a fairly high level wizards dragonlance campaign we are running, we are monitoring blode and the minotaurs in Silvanesti. This has gradually developed into political...

    OotS #372 is up

    Come on, xykon. Don't go soft on us now. Kill her! To be honest, I thought Xykon was far too indifferent to other people to even care about whether it is more evil to let her stew on Redcloak's retort for a while instead of killing her. Just get the distraction out of the way and raise her as...

    "I gotta save the A-material for the PCs." Great stuff. Good to see Xykon strutting his stuff.

    Personally, I think Xykon is just a seriously evil bad-ass who is not that arsed if a minion can't take care of himself. He is of course gonna wipe the floor with Miko if she defeats redcloak.

    What if real life was like D&D?

    come on. When has anyone ever died of old age in D&D?

    Best system for horror... Thoughts?

    GURPS or CoC. I don't really think the D20 engine is all that well suited to making ordinary characters without making them utterly useless. CoC and GURPS allows you to make ordinary characters with useful skills that will nonetheless be patently aware of their own limitations against the...

    Favorite System that Never Caught On

    I felt Saga had a lot of potential. A bit too dumbed down and simplified in its first incarnation, but a 2nd edition of the game would have killed imo.

    4th ed -- yeah, but are you actually ready to leave behind the 3rd?

    wrong. Traveller + everything else --> GURPS ;)
