I love creating unbalanced encounters. It makes the players think outside the box. If they don't their characters is at real risk of dying. Examples: a) Encounter with two types of undead + kobolds. EL 4+ party level. Result: they talked the guardian undead into stopping to attack (they were...

Usually I don't convert, but if I do, 1' = 0,3 meters, so 5' is 1.5 meters. (Multiply by 3, move the comma one space)

Two deaths after four 200xp encounters at level 1, or half a death per encounter? That's too swingy in my opinion. Now, we don't know what this encounter would be "ranked" as by the encounter building guidelines. If this is "deadly" according to those guidelines, they are right on mark. If...

It's pretty easy in 4e as well. Just ban the dragon magazine stuff, and don't let the players select magic items. That cuts down the charop material by 95%. 3e was more or less "broken" from the release of the PHB, but it worked fine up until level 9 or so. I usually only played it from level...

I am reading a full 180 turn in your argument from paragraph one to paragraph two, since you already want to house rule something from the PHB, or maybe even basic rules. In my current campaign we have a Hybrid Paladin/Sorcerer. Really solid defenses (20/15/15/14 at level 1), really strong...

If you look here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?356316-Starter-set-being-shipped-early-in-Canada&p=6325285&viewfull=1#post6325285 You will see that the use of some abilities of a magic item requires you to have spell on your class's spell list. Smart deceision in my opinion. :)

As if you can't charop 5e. :D I think that playing gridless, which seems quite possible in 5e is going to be pretty interesting. If you don't have a grid, or a miniature to move around, you will have to describe what you do. That might get people more into the role playing aspect of the game...

It looks good now :)

It shouldn't be particularily hard to add a module that incorporates damage levels into hp that don't go away with "martial healing" or it's kind. You basically add an injury when you go below a certain threshold per fight. For instance at 66, 33 and 0% health you get a minor, medium and...

I even bought a tablet to read pdfs on so it would be more like reading a book. Now, I am glad I did! :D

Numeric fields come up as "18.0" and "4" instead of "18" and "+4". I am using Foxit Reader.

I forgot to breathe! :D

1) It's the characters from Basic 5e 2) There are more complex classes/builds, but those are in the PHB 3) The fighters has traditionally been pretty simple 4) 5e has a simpler combat system than 4e Basic 5e is just that, pretty basic. It's for a quick game you can teach just about anybody in...

Ohhh! Might we get a second wind sub-forum as well as the DoaM sub-forum? :D I was going to say I liked the prime number ones, but I actually like 4e as well, so I like the ones I can list on one hand. :p

@Neonchameleon +1 to hit in 4e makes you hit about 10% as often if you would averagely hit on a 11 without the feat. (You go from 10 hits to 11 hits every 20 attacks, a 10% increase). Nearly all combat manoeuvres you do in 4e depends on your to-hit chance, so I would say it's the most important...

My niece is exactly the same :-D

There will be a disconnect, you got something like the normal-elite-solo divide from 4e.

Even the 4e power cards are too verbose in my opinion. I don't want a eight page character sheet. Instead I made a one page cheat sheet. I don't need all the information, just enough for me to remember what the power does. I did the same with the 3e spells and am going to do the same with the 5e...

The OP is probably asking for what you think will be the better edition. Not what's objectively better. That's your assumption about the poll. Anyway the poll results here basically mirrors the poll I had in the: "Are you buying 5e" poll/thread. Nearly 80% has pre-ordered or are going to buy...

How can it be formation fighting when it works perfectly well for the hobgoblin with a bow 150 feet from his ally goblin harassing the PC?
