Yeah, the lack of visual clues is really disapointing, the user interface just feels un-intuitive. What's worse in my opinion is the lack of editing options. I haven't found a way of changing the skill selection for instance. There is no way to use a custom background. There is a "idea" on...

Are all corporate purchasers women? :hmm:

Actually, to have a magic item economy, there would have to be some volume of magic item transactions. Without it, the price of the magic items would be really situational. I think 5e assumes the latter. Because of this, there isn't any sense in setting the "list price" of a magic item. I do...

That's just so funny :D

I fully agree, it's not like this extra benefit will break the game.

KarinsDad yeah, pretty much agree to what you say here, especially the conclusion.

Yeah, epub or some similar format/approach would work a lot better. Epub is basically html, while the reader you use does the css, in other words, it's easy to change layout/borders/font size/etc depending on device.

Same here. I like adventures are more open-ended, and not an endless railroad towards the final module. It's why I like modules that covers a relatively small set of levels, usually three, but sometimes a bit more. Red Hand of Doom covers about 7 levels and is still pretty open. I bet it would...

I partly agree with you, especially when it comes to the dice rolling. I still can't get myself to roll hit/damage at the same time. I don't agree when it comes to the conclusion. If I was playing a Wizard at level 11+ (since you mention three attacks), you have quite a lot of spells known...

Well said! Also remember that 5e lets you vary the count of monster to a much larger degree than earlier editions* due to the slow-scaling bounded accuracy. Instead of using one monster per PC as is the norm in 4e, or one monster per group in 3e, you can use a large variety of fast, weak, slow...

I like simple monsters. I am currently running a 4e campaign and having three different monster types with a few different attack types and some special stuff actually slows me down as a DM. I would prefer most monsters to be simple, but with varying hp/damage output combinations, and a few...

If you had read the Wheel of Time series, the 5e way of doing exhaustion fits pretty well (up until you get magic that removes it).

The cr of 5e and 3e aren't comparable. Regarding the HP scaling, it's how 5e separates the levels. 3e used ac and attack bonus to a much larger degree

Your standard Charlatan tricks himself into a cult he thinks is bogus and pledges himself to it's mysterious, powerful patron.

I don't really like the 4e skill challenge rules. It tries to create a rigid framework where none is necessary in my opinion. I do think they were on the right track though. There is a need to help DM's create more advanced challenges. Something like this might work as a framework for creating a...

To me, this says that there aren't any normal Dragonborn in the Dragonlance campaign setting, only Dragonborn of the subtype Draconian. Which have different abilities than breath weapon.

I played 3.x with just a subset of the books, and would do the same with 5e, but I would prefer the announced slower publishing rate. It will probably produce better material and keep the edition going for longer. 4e really swamped the market, making me pretty uninterested.

I had a Lich use acid fog on some obnoxious pc's. No save, no sr, just a bit of damage and no way to move. Pretty intimidating. I might have followed up with a 15d6 flame strike. They were very civil afterwards ;-)

Actually, I like creating some encounters that can't be solved through brute force. In other words, if you go in, expecting a "normal" encounter and don't adjust your plans as you get the hints that you are in over your head, there will be a TPK (or something similar). At the same time, I am...

Times four. You get four 80 foot diameter circles. :D
