Fighter is the front line (we agree). Yes you are right and the bugbear could simply win the initiative and attack another party member before the fighter closes in. I didn't recived my copy of the starter set yet, and I don't know the layout of the cave (is there a single way in? if that is...

Maybe I misunderstood, but this is how I read the meaning of your sentence: In a roleplay game, if you play smart, your character should not face death, or there should be a really minimal chance of it. Imho roleplay and chances (dices) are two very different things. What if you are playing a 6...

It is a hard fight (as I read, I have to play it yet) but if the bugbear hits the rogue/wizard/cleric is becouse the fighter didn't play his role of tank. Everyone turns to the cleric when in need of ealing, everyone should turn to the warrior when the big bad boy shows up. Looking at the topic...

Aren't feats optional? I like the way you say they made them. A player's try to enforce the use of the feats over the DM, becouse he needs them to create is "build". The master has two option: 1- say NO 2- say YES, but the player and his "build" will now be unable to do all those simple things...

Lockwood would be good for me, I loved the details of his art back in the 3.x era.

I don't like Wayne Raynold's art (actually never did). I want Elmore, Easley and DiTerlizzi back *sniff* *cry*

If the PCs have a major villain to fight, let this villain lure those PCs to an "artifact". This artifact is supposed to be used to defeat the villain, but it is all a trap. It is really an evil artifact that feeds on the powers of those around it (the PCs). The PCs start again as level 1, with...

I fear we need a DM, he did not posted here anymore after he created the topic.... :-(

When do we start???? Do we roll our PCs or do we use the pregens?

Those are all great imput, great to frustrate the PCs who will not be allowed to use their abilities to full power. I will use those ideas for sure (actually I was talking with a friend about them right now).

Well I didn't think that word was a profanity. . . And I was sure I was posting in the d&d and PF section. Anyway thanks for moving the tread, and yes sir, I will refrain in future. amerigoV: I don't want a hard encounter, I want an encounter where I can use their same weapons and tricks...

I want you to use the most "bugged" and powerfull and vicious combos the ruleset allows.

Ok I am a DM. I am not a rule lawyer, I do not "study" the rules in order to create the perfect NPC. But my players do. And now I want to hit them hard with the SAME THEIR :):):):). They are lv. 8: 2 gnomes (one with shotgun, one with 2 revolvers. Their attacks TOUCH attack, even vs a dragon...

Bugbears are not beasts they have brain enough to fight in ranks (as I remember from the 3.5 MM description). I think they would try to bring down yhe obvious treat. But this fall under "DM discretion", and maybe we are out of topic.

The bugbear is smart enough to sneak behind the party, but he ambushes the weak looking guy (the mage) instead of taking advantage of the situation to try and kill the big guy with armor and sword (that looks like the real treat to the bugbear). Of course this is strange unless the bugbear knows...

Ah! those time when we used to "save or die" ! Losing two 1st level PCs in combat is normal. At 1st level, PCs are little more than peasant. At 1st level you have the greatest challenges. And 2nd level is the greatest reward!

Ok then I suppose we will have to wait for DMG too in order to have those "guidelines"

The problem are not the stats. Once we will have the MM it will be easy to have those stats. The problem is balancing the encounters. If you take a look at the pdf and confront the same encounter for 3.5 and for 4e, you will see the number of enemies changing. Changing the rules, it changes the...

Does anybody know if "Murder in Baldur's Gate" and "Legacy of the Crystal Shard" will be ever updated to D&D 5th edition? I know that there are stats in order to play those two modules with the playtest ruleset, but will the PDFs with the encounters and monsters stats be updated after the...

And so last sunday, after over 6 hours of pathfinder (and only 3 random encounters), I said:《Listen guys, this game has become a burden for me to master, so give me your sheets. Now we have two options: or we stay here and we chat like good friends, or you give 2nd edition a try. After all, even...
