In a similar way to the short rest rules, I see Guidance as one of the flags in the rules that tells us "this is a role-playing game". There are plenty of narrative reasons (for the players) and methods (for the DM) to limit its use, and the game will be deeper if you engage with those kinds of...

So this is weird: http://www.audible.com/mt/Drizzt?bp_ua=yes&source_code=AUDORWS0811149AIN I know Drizzt is a divisive character around these parts, but this is a free download (for a limited time), and the list of narrators is... interesting, to say the least: Sean Astin Al Yankovic Ice-T...

I think the point of legendary actions (as opposed to lair actions), is that the monster get to do the things it normally does, but out of normal sequence. It would be weird if a monster could do things out of sequence that it can't do on its actual turn. Edit: Maybe defensive maneuvers would...

I also quite like the art, although I feel obliged to point out that it doesn’t match the description. It says that the Androsphinx has a humanoid head on a lion's body. That's pretty clearly a lion's head.

Came here to strongly recommend Burning Wheel, but it seems that my work has already been done! Probably my favourite RPG of all time - the way the crunchy systems generate the fluff is glorious to behold. Torchbearer is a spin-off of Mouse Guard, which is itself a spin-off of BW. It will only...

One option this edition gives is passive skill scores. The character sheet only has a space for Passive Perception, but the rules say that the concept can be used for any skill. So you could just quickly calculate their Passive Insight score (10 + Insight bonus) and roll against that in this...

True, but at least you can skip rolling damage and just multiply the total hits by 4.

I'll bite: what is Hurl Through Hell?

Cool, thanks!

I believe this was already answered, at least in part. Just one target.

Well, I suppose I'll get in on the action now that you're awake again. The one thing I've been wondering is how much access Bards get to healing (spells and/or special abilities)?

Good to see the doppelganger's power get some play! I'm making some modifications before running the adventure next week, and I'm thinking of incorporating their abilities into the narrative a little more.

People! Let the poor guy sleep. He may have other things to do tomorrow than answer a backlog of five hundred questions.

The final ruling happens at your table, friend. Welcome to 5E!

Yep and yep. All of that is already stated in Basic (p. 36).

I got rid of my shell, Learned Arcane spells And now I roam the seabed With my Fighter/Snail pal. ...

Yeah, I had that a few times before it worked. some kind of kink in the publishing process for the new website, no doubt.

Beat me by a minute =) I made the mistake of reading mst of it before posting ;)

Agreed! A couple of things that stood out to me in the flavour text: a) Zombies aren't quite mindless in 5E. They have Int 4, from memory (Starter Set). b) I'm pretty sure Protection from Evil as a concept no longer exists. Small things, but worth noting for consistency.
