    D&D 5E (2014) Half Elf vs Human

    Rampant discriminatory policies against half-elves in both human and elven civilizations.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    Are they constructs? Constructs and healing magic don't play well together. That would make the rogue modron PC a challenge, anyway. Cheers, Roger

    D&D 5E (2014) Amulet of Health, Another Strong Item

    Everyone laugh at Thogg the Barbarian when Thogg decide to wear Gauntlets of Ogre Strength. Then Thogg fight Shadow. Now Thogg laughing. Cheers, Roger

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    Do we get the flinds / super-gnolls to kick around again? Sounds like something this MM would do.

    D&D 5E (2014) CR and Monsters: Let me get this straight...

    Based on a quick look, it seems like a stone giant could squish a 5th-level wizard in pretty short order, if everything goes right for it and wrong for the party. That being said, it also roughly looks like it shouldn't be a TPK either, if the party can bring some firepower to bear. Cheers...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Flumph!

    I can totally see it going "THREE HUNDRED QUATLOOS FOR THE NEWCOMER!"

    D&D 5E (2014) No Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting in development?

    Maybe they're waiting to see how well the Drizzt movie does.

    D&D 5E (2014) MM table of contents and stat block index

    Shadow Dragon appears to be a template, so I think the idea is you might run up against a Shadow Adult Red Dragon, or something. I'm personally not terribly happy about keeping around both fairy dragons and pseudodragons, but maybe that won't be such a big deal once I actually see them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlock/Cleric Best of all Worlds

    Not sure I understand your progression -- do you mean to take Cleric 1 first?

    D&D 5E (2014) Making Poison and Health Potions

    Ask your friends to help. Ye olde timey potionmakers didn't keep all those apprentices around just to sweep the floor.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pedantic Equipment Complaints

    It's modernish, but I think that's just a problem on the demand-side; there doesn't seem to be any engineering issues with pulling it off in antiquity that I can think of. Marbles are probably a fine way to approach it; I might also go with some sort of hard round seed of about the right size.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pedantic Equipment Complaints

    One method is the shot tower. Good set for a combat. Cheers, Roger

    D&D 5E (2014) How to translate and effect of 'Only masterwork weapons can crit' house rule in 5E?

    The main effect is that encounters are now quite a bit easier for the PCs -- they're hardly ever going to face crits, and when they do, they know there's a pretty sweet payday at the end of combat. If that's what you're trying to accomplish with this house rule, good job. You're probably also...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sphinx

    Seems good now: http://media.wizards.com/2014/downloads/dnd/MM_Sphinx.pdf

    D&D 5E (2014) Little changes catching you by surprise

    Their susceptibility to blunt trauma helps here. Zombies, on the other hand, just need a whole lot of whacking. Studded Leather being AC12 is still freaking me out a bit.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tiny flavor tweaks

    The RAW for GOO-pact Warlock familiars is pretty lame. I sold my sanity to cthulhu and all I got was a lousy sprite? Boooo. Instead you've got a flying gibbering moutherling that sleeps inside your brain, or something.

    D&D 5E (2014) Crossbow Expert

    I expect to see this used pretty much exclusively by spellcasters anyway, so I'm not too stressed out over it. Sure, attack with your hand crossbow, whatever.

    D&D 5E (2014) Your First 5e Character (now with PHB content!)

    A blowgun dart for you! IN YOUR BRAIN.

    D&D 5E (2014) Finally

    What's the gnome's deal? (stats, traits, subraces?, etc) (Very sorry if this has already been answered.)

    D&D 5E (2014) I can haz WILD MAGE and the first DRAGONBORN art?

    Now I'm really interested to see if the random reincarnation table has been returned to its former glory.
