I was able to get in on the first round of play testing, but life got in the way and I wasn't able to continue through more rounds. It will be interesting to see exactly how those early ideas morphed into what eventually became the finished product. Of note are the themes, our group was very...

Unfortunately as a player, we haven't picked up enough magic items to run into this problem. However as a DM, I would think that as the characters achieve higher levels, that restriction might just be too restrictive. I would allow the players to attune a number of magic items equal to the...

I haven't played or read much about the Eberon artificer class, but from what I read of the UA article and from what everyone has said what the purpose of the artificer should be, it seems like a new class is really what is needed. Mechanically I think a class that takes something like the...

+5 for Advantage is currently the conversion used in the rules for things like passive checks with advantage...so that should be good.

Uhhmmmm.....5e Gamma World?? Or maybe this is a snippet from what they are consulting with Pendleton Ward on??

Yeah, I'm really enjoying the build so far. Magical Training + Ritual Caster + full EK has been a lot of fun, plenty of cantrips and first level spells. Now...if only the DM would only throw some wizards at us so I can find ritual spells and copy them in my ritual spell book ....

That's pretty cool. Yeah missing out on the feats for a while could really suck, but the build sounds fun. Anyway, great write up. Looking forward to more.

I came here to ask the same thing. Interesting combo, lots of moving parts. Does he plan to just have a couple levels in two classes and then focus on one class or spread them out evenly?

I'm currently playing an Eldritch Knight and at 4th level I picked up the Ritual Caster feat. I chose Find Familiar and Alarm as the two free rituals spells. I chose a Hawk as my familiar, mainly because my character's family name is "Huntinghawk" but also because it has a much better...

Not giving the players their characters class abilities upon reaching required XP is kind of a jerk move by your DM. A player comes to the table with the expectation of playing the character that is laid out in the Player's Handbook. To me the DM is saying "I don't care that you want to play a...

Our group has come from playing Fate and Fate Core games almost exclusively prior to starting a 5e game. So we are treating the Bonds, Ideals, Flaws, almost like aspects and Inspiration much like Fate points. Currently Inspiration is earned for keeping to your character traits especially if you...

Our group is coming from playing Fate and Fate Core almost elusively for the past several years. We are very much taken with the Fate Point system. As such we are attempting to do something similar in 5e. Basically, Inspiration is tracked in points, not just have it or don't, and then an...

I've gotten a great deal of use out of the Silver Marches Campaign Book. It came out many years ago for 3e, but it has sustained 4 whole campaigns using 3 different systems (with little converting). It is by far one of the best books to come out of 3e.

There was actually an Everquest book that came out for 3.5. It was pretty good, but I never bought it because no one else in my group played EQ. I'm sure you can find it online and conversion would probably be fairly simple.

I had gotten in on the play test and was pleasantly surprised by what was in there. The advantage rule alone was enough to continue giving it a try. But after the disaster that was 4th edition our group was so leery of anything D&D that we had moved on from it completely, choosing instead Fate...

Just wanted to say thanks for posting all your play recaps. Not only did I find them entertaining, but your description of LMoP convinced me to go out and get a copy of the starter set for myself. Once I start running the game, I plan on linking the lost mine to the 3e book I have called "City...

Quick observation on the Genasi.... Under 3.x edition, the Genasi were strictly defined as Human + Genie descent (from what I remember). However, it looks like in this write up, they can be any of the "mortal" species... Given that, I'm wondering if adding Ability and/or Skill bonuses of the...

That actually sounds pretty workable and easy, I'm probably going to steal this. I might modify it to increase for each level or increase for each tier they reach. Add in additional points for consistent fumbles/bad rolls as well as for player creativity..hmmm... Off the top of my head...

Just wanted to say thanks to the OP for starting this thread. It looks like all the analysis that others have done have come to the same conclusion that I did. The Genasi (with the possible exception of the Fire Genasi) are pretty much underpowered but not so much that a tweak here or there...

All things must decay. In a world where healing spells, regeneration, resurrection are common place, what is a Druid who believes in the great cycle of life and death supposed to do when all around him/her are thumbing their noses at the proper, natural flow. This land has become too stagnant...
