    D&D 5E (2014) Design Thread - "What makes a Knight?"

    Not at all - the quality of the conversation here has always impressed me :) I got the impression of support, and thank you. I like the idea of the Ideal having an action to defend someone as well, and that action could be specific to the ideal that the Knight is pursuing. That's a really nice...

    D&D 5E (2014) Design Thread - "What makes a Knight?"

    Thank you to everyone for your feedback, it's been really useful and I've really appreciated reading it! On the back of this conversation, I'm going to make the following changes: Vow points will be regained on a long rest, not a resource to be managed. I agree with the statement that it will...

    D&D 5E (2014) Design Thread - "What makes a Knight?"

    Excellent, thank you for the comments. I think the numbers really need to be work upon, they are very rough. Do you think it would work to get rid of them completely? I mean, the higher they go the more conceptual they become. We could skip it completely and leave it to the DM? Yeah, the vow...

    D&D 5E (2014) Design Thread - "What makes a Knight?"

    [I don't realy know how I'd do this in D&D. But I'd be looking for ways to make a horse viable (similar to ranger animal companions at least in 3E and 4e); ways to make spotaneity and unexpected encouters turn the PCs way (which might use metagame mechanics similar perhaps to a Circles check in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Design Thread - "What makes a Knight?"

    Exactly - it's very much a storytime knight. Not so much troops and war leaders at a young level! Do you think the rules work?

    That would be fantastic - is that a Twitter handle?

    D&D 5E (2014) Design Thread - "What makes a Knight?"

    This could be a long OP, apologies! For the next book from the Dark Peaks, I'm playing with the idea of writing "Aliena Brightlance's Tome of Knighthood." I've always liked Knights - knight to the extent of the romantic idea, like those from King Arthur stories.These are not, I repeat not, the...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favourite enemy out of these four?

    I'm totally stealing that - but I might subvert it as well. A monastery of male-seeming monks ... who are actually a whole dark convent of hags in disguise. That would be awesome!

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favourite enemy out of these four?

    That's the Sahuagin Baron, right? Or do they all have four arms? (That's right, I put them in an adventure and I'm not sure how many limbs they have ...)!

    D&D 5E (2014) So, did I manage to avoid the railroad!? (Discounts included in OP)

    Well, THE BLIZZARD OF AXE AND SWORD is out and on DMsguild right now, and we've had a pretty strong response. It looks like folks are buying the book separately, and also buying the bundle deal as well! Anyway, here's a discount code for the adventure - there's eight uses left on this one, so...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does "Railroading" actually mean!? Discount Code on Page 8

    Just a repost for anyone that wants it! As a massive THANK YOU for everyone who has taken part in this discussion, which has been really intelligent and insightful for me! I'm pleased to announce that people who have taken part can use this discount code to get $2.00 off the Blizzard of Axe and...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favourite enemy out of these four?

    Frost Giants are really interesting if you use them in a way that suits their character. Any monster is dull if you play it like a video game. In the book - which you've got a discount code for above - that's a discussion of what makes Frost Giants characterful and interesting. Short answer...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favourite enemy out of these four?

    A lot of these, I've taken advantage of to use in more unique situations. There's no sea in the adventure, but there is a lake. The Sahaugin are in the lake, and so are the Sea hags. As figure as aquatic creatures, you can push their location a little wider. Sea Hags are great because they can...
