Oh, they work fine! It's just not for everyone and every player and DM. I've known some that prefer the exact opposite. The thing about sandbox is that its intended, I feel, to make Player Agency the most important thing--Player Agency includes, however, those players accepting the consequences...

I'd let my players use dispel magic on the concentrating caster, but otherwise, no.

God I miss working at a book store... The Books-A-Million I used to work at stocked all the 5e books; we'd usually get about 6 each time they released one, and they had a huge amount of PF stuff, and a bit of 4e and 3.5 stuff. We even sold Chessex dice. It was crazy.

Here's what I do: 1. Death saves failures do not go away until a character takes a long rest. 2. A character does not regain their hit points after a long rest. Instead, they can spend any hit dice they have remaining to heal after they take a long rest, and then regain half their remaining...

As long as the "Tier" APs are connected enough to be run as one adventure, I'm fine with this. I don't run those adventures, but I do have most of them (except the first, because blegh), and I ran Princes of the Apocalypse mostly because I love Richard Baker's writing and the sandbox nature is...

Yeah, I'm kind of excited about this. Can't wait to be able to get the PDF, even if I doubt I'll get the chance to run anything with it.

Arcana Cleric actually is very nice for a gish-type character, using those cantrips, especially since the Potent Cantrip ability applies to it.

Check out Lost Lands by Frog God Games. It's a pretty dark, gritty setting. Well, at least how I run it, anyway.

I treat magic items like a black market art economy. Sure, you can try to find someone looking to sell a +1 greatsword...but you might not like who is selling it, or their price. It also varies a lot based on location, with the bigger the city being more beneficial to you finding what it is...

I'd enjoy that, too. I mean, yeah, it's super-easy to tweak a monster, but to have something to do it for me would also be useful.

I would giggle with Machiavellian glee if my players decided to use this spell in a dungeon they hadn't completed yet. My answer would be, "Sure!" *evil toothy grin* It helps that 90% of my dungeons have wandering monster tables, with the occasional smart monster or NPC running it. On the other...

I changed it up so that you don't get HP back after a long rest; you have to spend hit dice, just as you would during a short rest. It makes combat downright terrifying, sometimes. If I had one wish....hm. That's hard. I don't run FR, or any of the other official settings, so that's out for...

My wife played a Bard/Wizard multiclass, that was interesting. It wasn't very effective, but it brought a lot of versatility.

Here you go!

The Perilous Vistas are great books for lore, but if you're a 5e DM (like me) you'll have to convert the adventures (not very hard, really) or wait/hope that they come out with Quests of Doom (which they probably will, as they've done that for every other Perilous Vista book) that'll have 5e...

This is how I feel, in a nutshell. I never liked the ability to use a different ability to hit things other than Dex/Str. Bothers me. My wife disagrees with me, however. Rather vehemently, actually.

Sandbox. It is, at its heart, a classic sandbox. I'll preface this with the knowledge that I have the S&W version, given to me by a friend for my birthday, along with two other books of theirs (Sword of Air, Stoneheart Valley; FGG is, by far, my favorite 3rd party publisher, I recently bought...

If memory serves, the next UA is January 9th. I can understand, however, that you'd like the fluff to be good...

What does Uncle always say? Magic must defeat magic! I really do want to play that someday. Maybe make my own arcane monk subclass.... In truth, I don't expect anything outside of FR, which makes Kara-Tur more likely than, say, Eberron or Dark Sun. I'd also prefer a...

I just want a bloody release date! rages
