That's correct. All your known spells go into one big pool and you can cast them with any slot.

My experience in PF is that it makes a great read. However it's another story entirely during play.

I realise that you're only playing Devil's Advocate here, but by the sounds of this players actions I don't think it would have made any difference if the OP had described them as "humanoids", "a hideous purple creature that walks upright like a man with a face like that of a spider", or if he'd...

There are some things that just won't convert easily though. I'm playing a spellthief in a 3.5/Pathfinder game at the moment and I can't even begin thinking of how to convert steal spells.

Firstly, feats are far more powerful in 5e, than 3.5. Everyone gets less of them but they do more. Fighters still get extra ones at 6th and 10th. Power Attack, Cleave and Great Cleave are pretty much covered by the new Great Weapon Master feat. And the new feat for extra Hit Points (Durabke?)is...

Sounds like your DM is doing it right. You've gotta match any scenario to your player's styles.

It is an usual episode, it's just filler but that's kind of the point. It took us three session to get through and whilst we had a great DM and enjoyed it thoroughly, it could easily become very boring in the hands of the wrong DM or with players that don't want to get into it. I feel the...

In 4e my wizard managed to get 6 enemies the area of effect for a Colour Spray. I rolled 20, 20, 11-ish, 19, 20, 20.

Nah, it's 1 in 100. There are 100 numbers the DM can roll and 100 numbers the player can roll i.e 100^2 for a total of 10,000 possible outcomes. Out of these 10000 possible outcomes there are 100 outcomes where the number rolled is the same... Both 1, both 2, both 3, both 4 and so on up until...

I think it's fair to say that the gods could respond to any prayer and perform a miracle, however I don't think that kind of occurence should come down to a skill check. That should precipitated by role-playing and ultimately should just be a DM call on whether or not he wants the god to intercede.

That's how I've been doing it since 3.0. I get down what I want to achieve (where I want the PCs to be for the finale), then list a series of encounters, and outcomes I am hoping to achieve. I might write a small descriptive sentence and a note about a particular "thing that happens", and...

I agree, that not every penalty should be easily negated, but this is a minor penalty removed at substantial cost, not the same thing.

It does however imply practice at targetting while distracted in melee, that a wizard etc could extend to their magical attacks. RAW, it works as is and I'd personally consider it RAI too. I'd allow it if the caster was willing to spend a feat on it and it made the game more fun for them.

I'm not saying that it's wrong, but Move-Hide-Sneak Attack Move-Hide-Sneak Attack, repeat... is a very 4e style of play. My understanding of stealth in 5e is that you can't hide from someone who knows that you're there. The rogue could hide and get sneak attack on a barbarian, but in doing so...

Crossbow Expert - Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls.

Eberron. I can't list all the insanely good points that make this setting feel like an actual organic world with history and change and it's potential for running games of any style. From standard Sword & Sorcery, through to pulp detective crime novels in Sharn to Raiders of the Lost Ark style...

In one edition (either 2nd or 3.5), there was an optional rule that I really liked which stated that you conjured the same individual creature every time you summoned it. It said you could give loot to the creature and it would come equipped with the equipment when you summoned it. So you could...

I believe the celestials type include demons and devils, as well as good-aligned outsiders.

That's pretty much how I saw it. As well of the fairness of Bladelocks getting shafted in the sentient weapon department.

Well, I think proficiency is the important part. For a melee build warlock like the Pact of the Blade Warlock, it pretty much rules out the shiniest of shinies for your melee character. It seems a little unfair that they'd essentially not be able to use any sentient martial weapon. Ithink you...
