    D&D 5E (2014) DMing Help

    Learn to include the players ideas. Saying "no" can take away from their fun. Example: the party is looking for info on the big bad guy and the Rogue wants to ask her underground connections and the Wizard wants to research at the Library, but you haven't "prepped" a thieves guild or library...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is a Warlord [No, really, I don't know.]

    Wow, you are opening a can of worms by asking about the Warlord! The biggest problem with the class was folks with a limited view of Hit Points and what the term ' to hit ' actually represent in D&D. Some folks feel ' to hit ' and HP loss must represent actual physical contact ( it says the word...

    D&D 5E (2014) Social Challenges & Political Conflicts

    Social situations are not binding though. People can change their minds or be affected by other social pressures after a conflict has 'ended'. Now don't mistake me, I carry a very loose definition of HP (anyone familiar with me from WotC forums know that), many times I refer to HP loss as a near...

    D&D 5E (2014) Social Challenges & Political Conflicts

    I like the system used by True20. It is based on the Morale rules from AD&D and has a system where you can shift targets from neutral to friendly, or even accidently shift to unfriendly with a poor roll! The problem with using a HP-style system is that social situations don't have the same...

    AMA with Monte Cook (Numenera, D&D, Monte Cook Games, Malhavoc Press)

    Why don't we see more universal non- genre specific systems? Is it too difficult or do you find it easier to design a game when emulating a genre?

    D&D 5E (2014) Martial Damage Dice Clarification

    Wow, in our playtest the fighter is tough with MMD refreshing at start of turn. Either way, you only get one Reaction, therefore only one Parry at full MMD. Seems powerful but will try it next session. We haven't played with the Monk yet not sure about their maneuvers.

    D&D 5E (2014) Martial Damage Dice Clarification

    The Fighter class is worded differently: "You must be able to take actions to spend a martial damage die. When you spend a martial damage die, you cannot use it again on the same turn." Since the Barbarian doesn't have Parry or Manuevers that are available to the Fighter What difference does it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Martial Damage Dice Clarification

    Please read page 11 in the How to Play document. Turns and Reactions are clearly outlined there. You do not gain MMD on other peoples turns, only at the begining of your own. You may use the Ready an Action (page 13) to prepare to use a Reaction to Parry with any remaining MMD you have.
