    D&D 5E (2014) Coins and weights in D&D - the math doesn't add up!

    you never know when you might get drugged or held. so hiding stuff places is necessary for any adventurer. besides how do you pay for your ale and fun if not with coin?

    earth based magic class?

    i'm guessing you mean d02 versions. but if you mean any edition you may want to try looking at the witch doctor class. it is an NPC class but you could easily make your own version. do a race like the derro as an available. tell the referee you what you are doing and build it with approval...

    D&D 5E (2014) Coins and weights in D&D - the math doesn't add up!

    nope. the issue isn't weight it is encumbrance. 10 loose coins being a pound accounts for you trying to keep them from falling out of your poorly sealed codpiece.

    D&D 5E (2014) Coins and weights in D&D - the math doesn't add up!

    d00d, he didn't say OD&D(1974) so he isn't representing. he mentioned one of the after versions. you know the poor imitations. edit: but he did say the correct weight. 10 coins to the pound.

    Looking for a low-level "PCs are hired by NPC" type adventures

    Dungeon magazine from 1986- 2000ish was chockablock full of these type of side trek quests or similar. at the end of 1edADnD and beginning 2edADnD had a few too. you can easily convert something like I14 into this type or the early Marco Volo adventures in Faerun edit: maybe try Hordes of...

    Critical Hits - why, and why not?

    not a fan of critical hits. but when i referee i do give bonus or penalty to well used tactics. as the rules have them too. higher ground. bonus to hit. cover. bonus to AC. no helmet. obviously less AC. (actually in the rules in both OD&D and 1edADnD) obvious easier to hit. doesn't mean...

    Are Drow considered "Fey".....? Why or why not?

    for decades i have treated drow as faeries. i use Chainmail(1971) and OD&D(1974) as the references. elves, dwarves, and halflings are the civilized races that hang with mankind. faeries, gnomes, and hobbits are the ones with little exposure to humans. they can be brutual when encountered or they...

    Orc or Hobgoblin?

    is this a d02 edition and newer question? hobgoblins are more powerful than orcs in OD&D and 1edADnD. that extra +1 moves them up a whole category with chances to hit. they are better armed. better disciplined as a group. better tactics in mass combat when playing Chainmail, etc...
