    The older I get, the more I appreciate 3.0

    Hmm...Yes, he does specify only the DMG. The only relevant thing he seems to address in that post is that, although you have to have a certain caster level to create certain magic items and have the right item creation feat, which comes with its own caster level requirement, you may still...

    If caster level requirements to make magic items were "an error", then it stands to reason that statement applies to caster level requirements to attain the feats needed to make magic items. Short of Monte Cook showing up in this thread and explaining what he meant by "an error", we are left...

    Anyone have Fantasy Hero Complete?

    Could you point me at the page where the monsters start? I seem to have missed that when looking. Unless you mean the racial templates? The intent of the cover, according to Hero Games, is that the dragon is negotiating and trying to appear 'friendly', and everyone else is happy about all the...

    D&D 5E (2014) I'm not saying it's just an easy caravan guard job, but... (LMoP) (OOC)

    I had no trouble sleeping; I went to sleep early that Sunday.

    Ok, if I've missed anyone or their character sheet, it wasn't intentional, so if I did miss you, please speak up. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) I'm not saying it's just an easy caravan guard job, but... (LMoP) (OOC)

    Ah; apologies. When I see ability scores that are either as high or as low as possible, role-playing reasons are far from the first thing to enter my mind. I am, perhaps, too used to encountering munchkins in online games. In that case, an 8 Charisma does fit...Er, not to be too much of a...

    D&D 5E (2014) I'm not saying it's just an easy caravan guard job, but... (LMoP) (OOC)

    I apologize for the lack of replies late yesterday; I was asleep. I will do a final review of character sheets in 6 hours at the latest; I am currently busy. However, a preliminary overview of BeerCrusher's character sheet with the new stats and Skarsgard's character sheet reveals no problems...

    Anyone have Fantasy Hero Complete?

    I would recommend getting it simply so you don't have to haul the previous core books around. While it does have enough to get started playing a fantasy setting, it is not, and cannot (given page constraints) be as complete a coverage of the fantasy genre as Fantasy Hero. It does not include...

    The cheese in question is called "min-maxing"; that is, maximizing your advantages (the primary ability scores for melee combat and spell-casting) and minimizing your disadvantages (the primary combat score for ranged combat and the two that do not affect your spell-casting; with your ranged...

    Yes on gold pieces; if there is a standard option, that's the one to take; if there is a choice between a dice roll, an average, or point-buy in character creation, take the point-buy above the average and the average above rolling. This keeps starting characters close to each others' power...

    I, unfortunately, do not know. This would be quite literally the second time I've run D&D 5e, and the previous time was offline. Also, I don't know if this forum does points, but have one laugh point each, anyway. :lol:

    Sounds good, as long as they are functional in their fastidiousness and obsessiveness. I assume they are; however, it can be good to get ground assumptions on the table. :)

    Looking forward to what you come up with, either way.

    Sorry about that. 27 points; I've also copy-pasted my post in the game announcements thread, so all the information is in one place. :) Edit: A Dwarf Cleric is fine. Post the character, and I'll look it over.

    The dwarf was not old, exactly; but threads of grey ran through his waist-length beard. "It's a simple enou' job", he states. "Run thes' crates up t' Barthan's provisio' in Phandalin. It's a small town down a trail off Triboar Trail, which heads east off th' High Road. Here's a map. Take the'...

    Caster level pre-requisites were an error? By induction, then: * The requirement of being a caster to create a magic item is an error. All that is needed is for the requisite spells to be cast. ** Spell casting services can be hired...
