The number of possible attacks is pretty brutal, not only do you get your two attacks for 6th level but the addition of bonus attacks add a whole new wrinkle to the over all picture. This can make life seriously complicated for the DM. In 3.5 you got your attacks at as a full action with the...

Hi all- Prepping for my sunday game and am working on a Monk NPC for the last encounter for my version of HotDQ. Ok so here it goes, I made a 6th level monk Mondo Fruitsalad Dark Elf with 56 HP 2 attacks.. At 6th level he can move 45 feet so within the movement limits he can attack. So can...

My impression is that 4E was brought out to put an end to third party's publishing 3.x material. The problem WoTC ran into I think is that 3.5 was such a rich and robust system that many people stuck with it or went on to pathfinder. As of now, I am giving 5E a chance with my group but boy...

Man, that gotta suck to work under those type of conditions. One moment your working to produce great stuff, the next moment your handed a pink slip and told to go home. Hopefully there is a special place in hell for CEO's that dont think or care for their employee's well being. Scott

Hi- Having played four sessions of 5E I'm seriously not happy about this new edition. Its like they tried to mash 3.x with 4.0 and its just not happening. The Players are like superheros that really hit the what ever they encounter very hard. The Sneak attack with Cunning action is pretty...

True but the Rogue still gets his sneak attacks in. Scott

The initial chapter's main goal is to get the players into the module with no in depth background on why the players are there, why the players went to Hommlet (Greenist for the FR types) although in Appendix A HotDQ does give a backround and snippets of idea's none of which I particularly...

Hi- The encounters are detailed enough in Dragon Queen and wants to run this module right out of the box, it is very doable. I just wanted to take a more wargame like approach with the first chapter and also acclimate the players to their surrounding environment. That was my choice as the DM...

I look at published adventures as a frame work to build upon. Scott

Hi ya- I am also running HotDQ with 4 players. The party consists of 2 Clerics, one of Kord (Greyhawk) and the other Celestian (Greyhawk) one Wizard and one Rogue, there is a fith player but his schedule could be hectic at times and he play a LG Human Paladin of St Cuthbert. As the DM in...

Hi- Well, I really should have read the whole subject line when I put in my buy now order for a 5th edition MM. But all I focused on was the buy now and did not bother to read further...................its a 49 buck pre order buy now Arggggg!! I feel like a moron. I thought sweet, I'll get...

Checked out some of the youtube vids, none have been about D&D, mostly alot of stuff on new board/ card games. Some interesting stuff too, that Star Wars Armada looks pretty neat. I think the best news thus far is that the 5E MM looks really good thus far.

ok Im outta here, was not my intention to offend anybody but obviously I have. Take care and good bye

Ok let me preface this once more with I do apologize to those that feel they are being offended, no troll involved, I left rpg's back in 2007 so I missed the 4e edition wars. Anyway, before the good longtime posters here think I am assuming here, look at the Paladin class, in 3.5 you have 2 to...

5E kinda reminds me of World of Warcraft. Scott

Well, will try to grok this new version, with me DM'ing a game sunday, I will be hard pressed to get these rules straight. BTW, what page is skill advancement on? The best thing I do like about 5E is that combat is much less bloated then previous editions and thats what attracted me to 5E...

Hi- Picked up the book today from dice dojo and looked it over, even attempted to create a paladin character but gave up after a bit due to the amount of moving parts involved. With 3.5 everything was right there, in 5E it seems class advancement table is in another chapter altogether. Skill...

Hi- Will the feats be in the PHB or DMG? Scott

Hi- Here in Chicago, I guess I am lucky, I have a game store (dice dojo) less then a mile from me and I buy most of my gaming gear from them. Granted I could go online, pay a cheaper price but then I would have to wait. I want my book now not a week later. Anyway, I did get an email from them...

So it looks like only the warrior type classes will get extra attacks now. All other non Fighter typres will have only 1 attack per a round? If thats the case, I'm totally for that concept. Anyway, thanks for the answers. Scott
