    D&D 5E (2014) Daze of edition past?

    If the original, even most of the original, players are with you, that sounds awesome. You can ramp up the difficulty in crazy ways, and let the "future" characters fend that stuff off without tipping off the "past" characters. Very cool. And expand it to every edition the group has played. Go...

    D&D 5E (2014) Daze of edition past?

    I saw the thread title and thought this was going to be a write up of an idea I've been kicking around for a while: a campaign where the players make the same characters using the rules of every edition and then use the appropriate edition for the things/levels each edition did best. And then...

    D&D 5E (2014) Vicious Mockery

    Oh just being silly. I know your overall stance on 4e, and it's nice to see you liking a 4e creation that's been pulled forward. So many people seem to get locked into camps, and can't express appreciation for anything from the other camps. You did. I thought I'd respond with silliness. Because...

    ENW on a go slow again?

    Same here. I'm back to opening threads in multiple tabs and waiting for them to load. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Quick Start Viability

    I did a session with a bunch of novice players right after the Starter Set came out. I explained Inspiration and pretty much nothing else. I let them pick their characters based on simple descriptions, let them read their character sheets, and off we went. We spent 30 minutes tops in setup...

    D&D 5E (2014) Raw ability checks - proficiency or not?

    I don't believe so except for certain situations, like Remarkable Athlete or the like. Thaumaturge.

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

    Ah. :blush: In that case a couple of posts from a very similar thread might be helpful. :p That's about it, really. :) Thaumaturge. B-)

    D&D 5E (2014) I NEED A WARLORD

    Looks right to me. A fighter with Protection style and the Sentinel feat is a pretty good defender. Decoupling OA from reactions is a nice touch, too. That would very much deliver the 4e feel. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) I NEED A WARLORD

    I'd say for a real 4e feel, you'd want to make short rests 5-10 minutes and start at 3rd or 4th level. You do those two things, and I'm guessing the Battlemaster gets much closer to what you want. :lol: Can't xp. Thaumaturge.

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

    There isn't a picture of a rogue Modron, sadly. Just pick which kind he is, and go with that. These Modrons are the ones used in the book. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thread: Your thoughts on the 5th. Edition Player's Handbook classes?

    It's ok. The monk took Way of Shadow, so you couldn't find it. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Random Thread (See what I did there...?)

    If you already have an idea of the character you're going to play, they're unnecessary. If you haven't figured out who the character is yet, they're invaluable. There are wonderful quirks and contradictions all throughout those charts, and that really helps flesh out character ideas. Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Delay" in 5e

    And, to be fair to my Gen Con DM, I think this was what he had experienced and was expecting. He sort of waved his hand and said, "you will just delay and ready to get the initiative order you want anyway". Except we'd just met each other. And hadn't gotten a feel for the party yet. And 5e...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Delay" in 5e

    Run. And flip tables. I experienced this for the first time at Gen Con this year. From the player side, it felt like utter screaming chaos. We didn't know what we were supposed to to or what was expected. We started tracking our own initiative. I think I saw a dog and cat living together...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Tyranny Of Dragons] What character are you playing?

    That's a good idea. The Characters. Random—A human, former Cult of the Dragon member, who barely escaped when other members of the Cult turned on hime and his family. To escape he made a deal with Titania. She turned him to into a Teifling as an added bit of mummery. He's a Fey-pact Warlock...

    D&D 5E (2014) Horde of the Dragon Queen Bonds

    Ok. That would be funny. To now, after telling her "no", make everyone's character a former dragon. The one who kept is just the only one who is aware of it. Hmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Thaummmaturge.
