    D&D 5E (2014) Why is the "Dungeons & Dragons" label so discreet in 5E?

    And if they spend two seconds looking at it, it will be answered right away.

    D&D 5E (2014) druids don't get animal companions?

    See my Rocket Raccoon reference above. I'm pretty sure I'm going to petition my DM to play an awakened Raccoon with a penchant for blowing stuff up.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's one thing that pleasantly surprised you, and one thing that disappointed you about the PHB?

    One more thing I was pleasantly surprised by... That piece of art for the Warlock where it looks like she's trick or treating... It looks 1000% better in the book vs the jpeg we saw before.

    D&D 5E (2014) druids don't get animal companions?

    If the DM really hates the idea, you'll just get 30 days of downtime immediately and it will leave after. ;) That said... Awaken seems pretty powerful. Rocket Raccoon FTW!!!!

    D&D 5E (2014) Martial Characters vs Real World Athletes

    New rule in my games... In a world of magic... magic stuff happens. Everybody has a little magic in 'em. Even the lowliest guttersnipe. That's why every once in a while you just "heal" up and wake into consciousness after being hit with a near fatal blow. That's why every once in a while the...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's the best way to mimic a "willpower" mechanic in D&D 5e?

    Exactly. This was my point earlier. If it's central to the plot, why bother rolling. Especially if it's an NPC. If it's an actual PC... discuss it with the player and come to a mutually acceptable story.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's one thing that pleasantly surprised you, and one thing that disappointed you about the PHB?

    Pleasant Surprise: Multiclassing. I like it. Disappointment: Halfling images. Don't like 'em. I was hoping for something closer to the Jeff Dee halfling pics from the old Basic set.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's the best way to mimic a "willpower" mechanic in D&D 5e?

    If it's just a plot element, then it doesn't really matter. The thing about torture isn't if people will break... but how they break. Additionally, if the torturer is after information... that info may not actually be reliable as the person being tortured will pretty much say/do anything to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tiny flavor tweaks

    And the reason both Orcs and Elves can breed with Humans... Because Humans were created from the blood of Gruumsh and Correllon (or whatever the Orc and Elven deities are in your world) during one of their epic battles. Was it some odd mistake of magic? Did another god have a hand in it...

    D&D 5E (2014) FR Pantheon: Leira

    Thanks for the tip. Looks like a bunch of Ed's comments have been compiled into PDFs, and I don't have time right now to look through them... but I will. The forums themselves mostly have a bit of back and forth about how Leira's (and the other dead gods) return might be explained (handwaving...

    D&D 5E (2014) FR Pantheon: Leira

    Thanks. I had seen that when I searched earlier. Let me know if there are others.

    D&D 5E (2014) FR Pantheon: Leira

    Howdy folks... I'm working on a new character for a 5e game... in trying to craft a backstory for a Cleric of Leira, I find myself with very limited knowledge of FR gods. So I went to dndclassics.com and found 2e Faiths & Avatars which I am downloading now. Are there any other sources that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reskinning the Warlock with Archfiend heritage

    Yes, you can likely reskin your pact with any source. I don't see why not.

    D&D 5E (2014) Reskinning the Warlock with Archfiend heritage

    Are you thinking sorcerer? Warlocks don't have heritage, they make pacts. You could reskin the pact as a heritage, but why not just play sorcerer?

    D&D 5E (2014) grabbed the PHB at lunch - art is really great

    It's good to know there are others out there that appreciate the finer things in life. :cool:

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen, Linear Adventures and Sandbox Wishes

    I think for the first official adventure rails are fine. Makes things a bit easier for new DMs.

    This is how one properly reads a new PHB on the train after a week of work.
