Hmmm... Thinking through this, I didn't make myself clear on minor vs bonus. Minor actions used to be codified to include all sorts of mundane... "minor"... things. Like opening a door, sheathing a weapon, quaffing a potion, all sorts of things that anyone could do. On top of this, there were...

I disagree. Once you name it "minor", it means something different. At least on a natural language level. When it's named a "bonus" action, it connotes something you may or may not have at any given moment. It's right in the name... it's a bonus. Sometimes you have it, sometimes you don't...

And I'm the exact opposite. I could use about 30 more full pages of art. Different strokes (no pun intended)...

It's PH now... I suppose the B stands for "BO"

In my world gnomes are very much fey and weird. They have a reputation for cannibalism, but that's not entirely true. They do have a ritual where they smoke the ashes of the dead. They believe that by doing so they can learn some lore from that person. One should always be careful when a gnome...

Last I checked this was a forum not a dissertation.

So does this mean that an enemy creature would need to leave the entire 10 foot radius area in order for the AoO to trigger? Or do we treat reach like a ring and if a creature enters the ring, they're OK, but if they attempt to close in to be adjacent to you... they are then exiting the reach...

For the new 5e game we started, I've decided to play a Monk / Cleric multi-class. Right off the bat, I know it's not exactly optimized, but I'm going to do my best to make it work. The idea behind this came from 2e Specialist Priests. Some were essentially hybridized Clerics taking a little...

I would love to overlay this with frequency of save or die and save or suck abilities. For example... there are a ton of Con saves, but if only a small percentage or save or die/suck then it's not as bad as it sounds. Might also be interesting to see this broken out by CR and monster type...

This one bit me in the behind in our last session. Acrobatics doesn't reduce falling damage. o.0 Bye bye 1st level character. Also, if the question is... does this stack with that? The answer is generally, No.

Polka + Calypso It actually explains a lot if you don't think about it.

I was originally going to snark and just say... YOUR MOM! And while that may also be true... I hope that they are working on getting some form of magazine (or other avenue for regular content) that includes adventures and other fluff for use in a campaign. I've said it before... I don't want...

I've used Epic Words (http://www.epicwords.com) for several campaigns. As long as everyone has an email address, you should be able to push communication out to everyone. It also includes forums for your individual campaign. You can track XP. You can track equipment and money.

In a campaign I played in, the local Duke offered the PCs some land and titles in order to pay them... and more importantly to keep them around in time of need. It worked well and became an important part of the campaign at higher levels when the PCs were essentially commanders in the army...

Yep. I see the Barb/Pally lay on hands as more a smack to the head and a "Get up! Keep Fighting!" Or even a "Yippee-kai-yay!!!"

I agree, and that's why I'm looking for ways in which society and culture might evolve with these types of people around. I don't just want to handwave it. I want the culture to have it built into its DNA... and for that DNA to express itself in weird and wondrous ways. The world of D&D is a...

I don't know how atypical this is, but I'm liking my new character enough that I hope she doesn't die quickly. Elven Monk of Shadow/Cleric of Leira with the Charlatan background (and due to quirk in how my DM does character generation, the Actor feat). The mist speaks to her and tells her to...

Note to self... Move to Columbus. Play D&D with Celebrim. ;)

Completely agree.

I appreciate where you're going with this, but to me, this image will forever represent halfings...
