    Mike Mearls is polling about how much you'd pay for him to make you an AL legal custom subclass

    Just for my benefit.... are some of you upset because of the potential unbalancing of AL or some custom content to be accessed by the favored few? In my opinion, if you are upset due to unbalancing, then that ship has sailed off a while ago.... AL as it is currently is HUGELY unbalanced. Let...

    D&D 5E (2014) Being The Best D&D Player You Can Be

    I would add the following: 9. Be Attentive - Listening to the DM's narrative is a sign of respect as well as showing a commitment to the game you are playing. Sometimes being attentive can be challenging like playing in a convention where your game is in the same room as other games and it is...

    CoS SPOILER Dark Gift The Kingmaker and Tome of leadership and influence stack?

    I would like to point out that there are players playing online that have picked up a Deck of Many Things and getting a 24 Stat that way as well

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Drowning Rules

    Hi, Are there drowning rules for 5E? If so, where are they located? If those rules do not exist, does anyone have a good workaround ruleset for drowning in 5E? Thanks in advance for any help

    Future of the current Adventure League

    Three adventure took me from 17 to 19... Given that rate... two more adventures will take me to 20 So for a total of 5 adventures you can finish the entire Tier 4? Does not seem much of a capstone to finish a character's career... That is the real point of my post

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you do?

    To clarify One player went down and was immediately healed by our cleric, who then got hit heavy but was not down. The other four characters including myself had very little damage if any. So to reply to Elfcrusher... technically all the players were up and fully functional. The two players...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you do?

    This actually happened while playing in Adventure League but the situation is applicable to home games as well.. What would you do? You are part of a six man party in the process of clearing out a pyramid dungeon. The first couple of combat encounters were stronger than what you are normally...

    Future of the current Adventure League

    Hi, Not sure if any of the AL admins read this forum board but I thought I would take a chance anyways... As my local convention winds down right now, I have to ask if the current AL is going to close soon. I ask because I played 3 tier 4 adventures and I went from level 17 to level 19 in one...

    D&D 5E (2014) Milticlassing Dip-schticks

    In almost all the campaigns that I have played and I too, have been playing since the early 80s have gone over level 15 except for one and that is because I left the group to join the Army. I prefer high level play because in my opinion that is where DnD is the most challenging to both player...

    D&D 5E (2014) Milticlassing Dip-schticks

    Also as a personal strong opinion... any Charisma based character would be exponentially better with 2 levels of Warlock

    D&D 5E (2014) Milticlassing Dip-schticks

    Multi-classing is a powerful tool in building your character. For example... I primarily play WoTC organized play Adventure League. I have a character that is 2 levels of Fighter and 13 levels of Wizard. The two levels of Fighter gives me the following: Starting with fighter I get...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    There is no way you will be able to know how everything works in advance.... too many things in game have ETV. The best you can do is ask the DM how he or she will judge a specific event or spell or whatever before play, then adapt to that judgement during play. As a side note... overall it...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    OK... understood... it appeared in your earlier posts on this thread that your group just RP'd and did very little combat if any. In a home game... I totally get the deeper immersion in all those things you mention above In Organized Play... that kind of play detracts from the goal because it...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    Since I brought it up.... my definition of schub... Lowkey incorrectly assumed it is a player that does not optimize A schlub is a bad player A bad player is a player that does not contribute to the achievement of the PARTY's mission or goal. This includes actions that hamper and undermines...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    Did you even read my reply to that poster... I wrote that he was wrong based on what he posted and his assumptions I thought I plainly spelled out that I am not included in his stereotypes of powergamers by describing how I play the game. My comment as to his experiences and lack thereof is...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    I am not sure you can counterpoint something that is factual.... I personally have in 4E Organized Play and I think once or twice in 5E came in and turned a potential loss into a win... You don't have to believe me and I rightly don't care but I do not believe you can counterpoint a comment...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    First off... you make me laugh... Usually, I am thanked profusely when I "clicked" on the switch because when I do the situation is normally characters are down under 0 in hitpoints, others are on the ropes and a majority of the monsters still in play. When I play in Organized Play without...
