I've been reading the EnWorld forums a lot more since 5B came out. I've noticed that in a lot of hypothetical situations, the character has his primary at 20. Now I realize that discussions tend to assume this because it's the hypothetical maximum, but it also got me thinking. You see, I tended...

Oh. I must have missed those rules in the playtest. My apologies, then. Can someone help me find these NPC rules in the playtest? I need to read up.

Are we sure about this? So far I have yet to see an NPC that maxed out at 20 on its primary stat (basic says that most non-adventurers are probably 18 at most.) I also see that NPC's do not necessarily use proficiency bonuses in the exact same way PCs do. On topic: Is it really the norm in 5e...

Why are we making PCs fight PCs, again?

(I'm not sure if it's a good idea to toss in my 2cp in a pool already flled with copper pieces, but here goes) At level 1, the medium DC is 15. At level 20, the medium DC is... 15. As a DM, if I don't make it a war of DC attrition, then it won't be. I don't even think everyone will boost...

The great weapon style + the greatsword / maul is sick. Personally, I think it's less of "the greataxe sucks" and more of "the 2dx weapons shouldn't exist." YMMV.

Magical Resistance *gets seen by nothic, feels skin rotting* "What is this magic?!" *rolls high on Con save* "I resist this magic!" *has magical resistance* "I have resistance against that magic!" ... I'm just happy that the rotting gaze is obviously magical even if it doesn't have the...

I'd love to join in this conversation, since I'm Filipino and definitely middle class. But I'm out of the house right now so my comment is a more kneejerk reaction: Where did 60% come from? We have an unemployment problem but it's not THAT bad. (Will hopefully post something more...

two coppers I'm pretty sure anyone can play 5E with no house rules. With that being said, I do believe 5E is explicitly designed with house rules in mind; not because the devs are lazy but because they understand that every table plays the game differently. /2cp

Bonus Actions Bonus Actions sound suspiciously like (3.5) swift / (4E) minor actions that are not required to be used in a turn. I like it. :D

So, U_K... Is there any chance that we'd hear more news regarding the succeeding vampire bestiaries? :D

Naw man, everybody knows that con is the stat for working out for those chiselled abs and those voluptuous figures. How else would you explain all those 3.5 Conan clones with Charisma 8? :P

So. I like the halflings. Like, really, really like them. I even felt like part of the 65.2% the next week when the halfling poll results came in. :uhoh: Reading this thread, I now suddenly feel that liking them is not cool. I personally don't mind an overall cartoony art style on a game aimed...

Doesn't that depend on what level the party is? I like to think that that a dozen dragons is standard fare for a level 20 party.

GX.Sigma: Agreed. Perhaps a reduction to the rogue's rate of MDD acquisition in relation to the fighter could work. On topic: I do think that the rogue's damage needs to be reevaluated, especially as it pertans to the fighter. I also think that the dragon could use some buffs in the manner that...

To OP: This is very informative for my own upcoming stress test. In my case it would be a party of 11th level characters against a red dragon at the end of a dungeon, so we'll see how it works. Without the luxury of getting my group to test it out, yet, the issues I personally note from the...

Initial comment: The attack bonus for characters have been brought down to more reasonable numbers (a +3 proficiency for the fighter at 1st level was just too much for this DM). I like the new math on the player side. On the other hand, I don't understand why they'd decided to bump up the Math...

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to excuse bad design. In case my post didn't make it clear, my opinion is that they weren't. I love making builds centered around PrC concepts as a player, and I certainly allowed them (at my discretion) as a 3.5 DM. Of course many seem to be of the...

I seem to remember WotC saying that PrCs are to make an appearance as an optional module. (No incentive to look for links to back up that memory) Nothing I've read here indicates that that has changed, and if so, can't DMs just choose to not include them? Having started the game in 3.5 I loved...

Hey there, U_K! I finally got this volume - cost me most of my remaining RPGNow savings, but so far I have no regrets from the purchase. Everything looks cool and would make for a good encounter in my own tropical setting that is inspired by Philippine elements. In that vein, I plan to make...
