    D&D 5E (2014) Death strike is grisly

    That's how it goes down at my table. Thaumaturge.

    Hey, I gave you 13 hours. :p EDIT: Well, I guess I gave you only a couple of hours. The 13 is from when you posted. Still. That's a couple of hours. :) Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    They don't. Solars get a legendary action to burst radiant damage, but that's about it for aura like effects. One commonality amongst the angels: you can't lie to them. They have an ability: Divine Awareness: the angel knows if it hears a lie. I think it would even work against glibness. And...

    D&D 5E (2014) The format of the spell list in the PHB is just plain awful.

    Which would be a good solution. It does introduce a different problem, however: new supplements would have to specifically add to the EK and AT spell lists if they have their own. As is, any new wizard spells of the appropriate schools are also EK and AT spells. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual Question.

    Either PCs or monsters can have the templates added. Thaumaturge.

    I like grapes. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) The format of the spell list in the PHB is just plain awful.

    There are at least 2 of us. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual Question.

    Tormyr 's answer is much more helpful than my simple "no" would have been. :) Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual Question.

    The previous two posts pretty much cover it. There are half-dragon and vampire templates. Otherwise, the MM is not a player resource. It doesn't have anything for making PCs. I expect the DMG to have all of that. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Difference between critical hits and automatic hits.

    Huh. When I'm sober I do game terribly. Fortunately, it's a rare occurrence. I think the people who say a roll of 19 that's a miss is a miss are probably right. If I'm DMing, the odds are so against the party if the fighter can't hit on a 19 that I'll let the fighter have it. I've clearly...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    The lamia now has a mêlée spell attack that if it hits causes the target to be cursed for an hour. The curses gives disadvantage on all Wisdom saves and checks. It's not drain, but it's not fun. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) PAX PRIME 2014: Acquisitions Inc. - Five Heads are Better than None

    I haven't watched, but maybe they decided to do that to help speed things up a bit? Or maybe Perkins forgot which crit rule was the final rule. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Disengage

    This is how I see it. I'm not Mouseferatu, but I think the butt end is magical if the whole thing is. I can easily imagine a master of the polearm making big arcing swings and reversing it to hit things, at reach, with the butt end. I can also see that being considered ridiculous and only...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    Spent some time with the family. I've skimmed the last couple of pages. If I miss anything, just ask again. It probably isn't personal. Probably. Yeah. That works for me. I didn't know about this. I like the fact that there is no established Truth. There's just what each side believes. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) I for one hope we don't get "clarification" on many things.

    Remind me, how many pages of 1st and 2nd edition were devoted to entirely role playing things like Backgrounds? Thaumaturge.
