    D&D 5E (2014) Reflecting on advantage and disadvantage.

    I don't see this. The multiclassing proficiencies table on page 164 does not list any additional Saving Throw proficiencies when you multiclass. So if you start as a fighter with Proficiencies in the saving throws Strength and Constitution, multiclassing into a Cleric does not add any...

    AD&D 1E Question on Death Abilities for 1E Monsters

    I want to use some of my older monsters from the AD&D Monster Manual. Not sure how some of these ought to work with the new Death Saves rules.... 1. Green Slime "will attach itself to living flesh, and in 1-4 melee rounds thereafter turn the creature into green slime (no resurrection...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running a game for a 6 year old

    This is a pretty good notion for a scaled down type of D&D. This might be too simple for your tastes, but I think it get to the heart of the game right away. https://bankuei.wordpress.com/2012/09/02/90-minute-dd/

    D&D 5E Player's Handbook Official Errata

    What a great idea! Just like how I buy tools for projects that I want to build. (Want to - not actually build.) So far, I've simply drawn a red vertical line in the margin of the affected paragraphs to indicate that an errata applies. I probably also need to memorize it, come to think of it....

    D&D 5E (2014) Current take on GWM/SS

    Been working on this issue for about a month now. My group is still 3rd level, and this issue was one reason I considered not allowing feats at all. But, I've never played with feats, and I think it would be a lot of fun. I haven't seen a problem myself yet, obviously, but I don't need to see...

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do if a player keeps reading the adventures

    I'm in the "knock it off or get out of the game" camp, but if you're not up to doing that, how about you just not tell them what the name of the adventure you're running is? Maybe even lead them all to believe that they are playing Dungeon One, but two rooms into the thing is a teleportation...

    Titansgrave and why 5E needs a setting (or two) (and another take on a suggested product lineup)

    Totally agree. Never really noticed that in any other audible books. I will check out the book itself next time I'm at a B/M book store.

    D&D 5E (2014) General rules questions about the game.

    Thanks! I should have looked harder, but appreciate your response.

    D&D 5E (2014) General rules questions about the game.

    Hopefully an easy question: What is the difficulty class for an undead's saving throw against being turned? Seems like Cleric level ought to play into this somehow, but I haven't been able to find an answer in the books or here yet.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Session Prep Method

    Thank you very much; this is a good breakdown of your whole adventure and while I'm sure each note brings different things to my mind than you intended, the utility of such a high-level overview makes it a great idea.

    D&D 5E (2014) A different way to roll stats for 5E

    I've started two separate campaigns at first level using the 4d6 method exclusively. Some higher scores are there, naturally. But so far nobody has progressed beyond 3rd level, so I haven't seen the problem yet. I suspect I will see issues soon, though. Glad to have found this thread, albeit...

    D&D 5E (2014) A different way to roll stats for 5E

    What is the concern with just using the default 4d6 from the PHB? Is it more the chance of extreme scores, or the variability from PC to PC?
