2 more: Eschatologists Skill Proficiencies: Religion, History Languages: Dwarven, plus one more (If you already speak Dwarves, choose another language). Equipment: A well-worn copy of “The Proper Ending of Things” , a bottle of ink, a quill, blank parchment, a set of common clothes, and a belt...

Here's the next background I wrote up for Dockers: *Skill Proficiencies:* Performance, Athletics *Tool Proficiencies:* One musical instrument or artisan tools, vehicle (land) *Equipment:* A musical instrument or painting tools, revolutionary pamphlets, set of common clothes, and a belt pouch...

Here is a sample background for a Skyseer. I think this version covers the same concepts in the book, but is admittedly less powerful, and doesn't have the in-combat effects. Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Religion, Tool Proficiencies: Navigators tools Languages: 1 of your choice Equipment...

While I would love an official 5E conversion, I'm not willing to wait for WOTC. So I've started to make my own, and have begun working on some (very lazy) Character Creation notes. Races: Eladrin are covered in the DMG so there's nothing to add there. For Devas, I'm just using the aasimar...

I prefer the Bilbo Baggins method of dragon disposal: 1) steal his stuff 2) make him come to you 3) let somebody else kill the dragon 4) Profit.

Sorry, looking at your question again, I hadn't realized that the paladin in question 4 still had both hands. In that case, Yes, the paladin can cast spells so long as he was carrying a shield (which is being held in the off hand).

PHB p. 203 - "If a spell requires a somatic component, the caster must have a free use of at least one hand to perform these gestures" If you don't have a free hand, you can't cast somatic spells. The paladin in your example, has his hand (singular) full. Now, the paladin could sheath his...

Sure. One arm is enough. The Wizard can't hold a staff or anything though. It might be awkward to get components out of a spell pouch quickly, but I would simply have this be flavour rather than a mechanical penalty. As above. Spells with somatic components become impossible if you are...

I don't have my hardcover yet so I can't comment on that, but it does show up in my PF Act 1 PDF in section 2 (pages 93-96).

While I still wait for my PF Zeitgeist Bk One to arrive in the mail, I've been reading the PDF compilation, and I notice that Bk 1 goes up to level 12, and Bk 3 will go up to level 30. These look like 4E levels to me - does the PF version really go up to level 30, and if so, how is this done -...

We're at level 2, and the wizard has saved my paladin's butt on more than one occasion (and not just with Sleep). For me, the coolest moment was when the wizard wrapped a burning hands around me, annihilating the two thugs who were just trashing my character. (Yes, there were ways of excluding...

Until you get polymorphed into a dwarf or something, a simple hooded lantern would allow you to be stealthy and find your way around the Underdark.

I probably wouldn't have bothered with the second attack if the PC went unconscious after the first. Just have Cynwrath laugh at his vanquished foe and stride off triumphantly.

To totally derail this thread Fire snake, fire snake Hotter than a clam bake It's a snake; it's very hot Best dispatched with arrows shot Look out, here comes the fire snake.

I don't think bites and claws count as "unarmed strikes", which is a requirement for Flurry of Blows (unless you are using monk weapons).

Or maybe we shouldn't sweat the small stuff Based on the OP analysis, it seems that the rules don't model real-world physics perfectly - for all characters level 1-20 AND attributes from 3-20. But the Fireball spell doesn't really correspond to the physical properties of a real fire either...

I just got my PHB, and I'm digging it. So far, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME, EVERYTHING IS COOL IN 5E... ...except the Equipment chapter. For some reason, I find myself quibbling over really petty details: *why does the hooded lantern have 2x the illumination radius of the non-hooded lamp? *do...

When I was up at Jasper National Park in Canada last week, one of the Park Wardens told me that elk were considered the most dangerous animal in the park. And the park is fully of grizzly bears, wolf packs and cougars. (And this year we've already had deaths attributed to grizzly bears and...

I read that more as "Ideals aren't worth killing or warring over - only money is". More Bronn, less Brienne.

"KNEEL before Zod!" (My new Cleric will be called Zod).
