Outstanding. The origins is along the lines of what the 4e was getting at. It was probably more mechanical than organic. 5e's flavor will open that up. I also agree as others have below that you make a great point about the use of known or languages. and ones that can learned in the new...

(Perhaps this thread doesn’t have to be deleted afterall.) It’s bringing up some valid points. that people who aren’t new to D&D nor dummies : ) like me have to wrap their head around the 5e mash-up that the new version is imho kind of like a “greatest previous edition hits with new songs and...

Nice. Good call. I automatically think of Dwarf racial traits when thinking underground exploration. Here’s the 5e PHB text for those who want to know: Stonecunning. Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the...

Wow! I just clicked on the link in your signature. Truly a 'Monster Project'. I'm still interested in 4e. So definitley worth a look. Ok now start on 5e. Or maybe you already have :cool: 5e should actually lend itself better to the old school feel. But this is incredible.

From scanning the PHB it's not as easy as they make it out to be, imho. I haven't played AD&D in a long time, skipped 2-3.5e. 5e definitely feels more old school regardless. I have 4e's power system so engrained in me (even though I haven't played as much as most here I've read a lot of the...

Very nice! Yes I forgot about the downtime rules. Perfect use. We'll have to see how creative players get with their PC's backgrounds during downtime and how it affects the game when the role playing and combat resume. If half the people play like you guys it's going to be very interesting...

Yeah that’s a long the lines trentonjoe and some others. That’s a good example of identifying ‘sub-classes’ (if you will) of monsters. I've had limited playing opportunities lately so it's great to hear how experienced D&D gamers play a malleable RPG. P.S. I’ll give people more XP later. The...

That's something I never considered. That's awesome. I keep saying I like all these ideas. But it's true. This is more of a variety even within both camps than I would've guessed. New players or DM's can learn a lot from this. (no matter what the edition). P.S. your signature line "I've been...

Thank you, sir. This thread still may be deleted because I wasn't aware of the other one. I haven't been using the search function because not everyone had access to the PHB yet. And yes unfortunately I was speed reading it and more worried about typing and spell check than reading all the way...

Yeah that approach makes sense. I think that's essentially what I was getting at in the first post. But I'm liking both sides of the fence I've read in this thread.

I won't quote your entire post. For anyone who wants to read it it's at the bottom of page 1. Worth checking out! Outstanding real game play examples!

LOL "Let me eat a pizza while you photocopy the stat block." Some DC Lore checks in 4e are really high. But that's a good one.

Thank you for understanding. Yes if that thread is the reference I see. Would have been nice to have linked to. I never played a spell caster prior to 4e. And even then it was a Warlock based on the power system. I always played the hack-n-slash characters. Not the glass cannons ; But Warlocks...

Thanks for the kind response. I did find the rule right after I posted. Yes I did miss this particular one. I couldn't delete this thread. I've asked Morrus to do it. I'm embarrassed I completely missed that. I was looking at building a low level Warlock so was looking under the Spells section...

This is interesting. The Warlock spell list go up to 9th level on 5e PHB pg 210 but the Warlock spell slot level only goes up to 5th on the Warlock class advancement table pg 106. And fwiw... Spell Slots (pg.107) The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what...

I see. yeah I looked it up. Ironically a big Dinosaur is hiding in the MM : Just like Oozes, Demons, Devils 'sub classes' etc. It's like Hey where's my main man the classic Gelatinous Cube?! Oh yeah he's an ooze next to the classic Ochre Jelly. Yeah I guess at low levels 'common' monsters...

Yeah I'm liking what I'm hearing reasons on both sides and situational checks compromise in between. To your point in 5e maybe you award Inspiration points. Those are tied to Backgrounds and RPG traits. But it could make sense. That's the cool thing about D&D. House rules can be fun. As long...

Yes, when we played 1e and AD&D somehow we just knew what a goblin and orc are. Maybe from LotR. 5e continues the D&D tradition, 1st level adventures begin in a tavern or town where you're given your quest, by the townsfolk, or lord or someone else, and it's usually a caravan, then you get...

Some good replies here. Thanks. i can't give XP because I've given too many in 24 hrs :D I think if you hear a sound it makes, a stench etc when you can't see it, and you try to figure out what it might be a check seems like a good idea. And kinda fun. RPG-wise if townsfolk describe it. You...

Correct, Ray of Sickness is a 1st level Wizard spell. Not a warlock spell at all. R a y o f S ic k n e s s 1st-level necromancy Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous A ray o f sickening greenish energy lashes out toward a creature within range. Make a...
