As an OCD collector, knowing this actually helps me a lot. LOL! Makes life a lot easier on my wallet, to be sure...

Ah, insteresting. I was unaware they weren't the same. I thought the "D&D Next" and "D&D 5E" labels were interchangable for the most part. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Hello all, I have been reading here a lot as of late, and I always see the hardback books being listed as official releases for 5E. What I do not see mentioned are the sogftcover modules such as Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, Murder in Baldur's Gate, Legacy of the Crystal Shard, and Vault of...

I cannot recall the forumula off the top of my head, but there is a situation in the Cragmaw Hideout where the PCs have an opportinuty to climb a chimney, if they fail, they will fall and it gives you the forumula to calculate damage. Perhaps someone with the book handy, or who knows this...

I picked mine up at the local FLGS about a week ago. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, so my review is on hold for now. Having said that, I like the artwork, I laugh at the mis-spelling (leutral), and like the conditions being listed on the inside. I figure if there is more I need "at my...

That is EXACTLY what I needed to know. Thank you! :)

RE: GF9 Spell cards Does the box the cards come in clearly indicate what printing of them you are purchasing? I ask because these are something I have been wanting to buy, and my players REALLY like the idea as well. :)

Being a PC in Pathfinder and a DM for 5E (new at both), I must say that I don't think I would like to try running a game of PF until I am a well seasoned PF player and 5E DM. When I compare the two systems, I see a lot more similarities than differences. Sure, the mechanical bits differ, but I...

I don't know much about the "edition wars" as I am too new to the hobby, but in regards to this particular forum I will say this: The posters on this forum are some of the most helpful, and nicest people I have run across on the internet. If you take a look at the endless slew of questions I...

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. :)

Perhaps I am speaking from pure ignorance, but my initial thought was just to take the monsters stats in the Next adventures and swap them for the stats listed in the 5E monster manual. Am I missing something major, or are these monsters not in the MM? :confused:

Interesting responses here. They certainly give me a lot to think about in regards to feats. I kind of like the idea of perhaps limiting the amount of feats that be used, but not sure how my players would react to such a limitation after slapping down a "no multi-class" rule. I had a player who...

Hello all, I am spending more time familiarizing myself with the PHB, and have dived into reading about feats. I am playing in a Pathfinder game, so I am somewhat familiar with them, and do not see any reason why I shouldn't allow them in my games. Some of these seem fairly powerful on paper...

I have only read the 5E MM, so I have nothing to compare it to. Even with all of the praise I heap upon it, I do have a few quibbles, so it's not a total n00b/fanboy love affair. :p My biggest issue is that I had to come online to get specifics on how to read the stat blocks. It should have...

I roll behind a screen, just to keep the players in the dark about the monster's stats. I also do not fudge, and never plan to. I feel that the rolling of the die (and calling it as it is) is what makes an RPG have that RPG feel. That randomness of the roll adds to the fun, suspense, and...

I can't speak to all of your questions, but the only PF product I purchased was the Beginner Box. I am a PC in a game that a friend from work runs. Truth be told, I didn't even need to buy that. I just really liked it, and wanted the pawns & map inside. Definitely worth the money IMO. High...

Hello all, I bought the PHB and the MM not too long ago, and have been reading through both of them as time allows. Prior to making my purchase, I assumed that I would love the PHB, but not get as much enjoyment from the MM. However, I felt as a DM, that the MM was a "must have" purchase...

I haven't seen the book, but that is comedy gold if they did. It's like deja vu all over again. :p

But it would be the Purr-fect way to die. Sorry, I had to do it. :p

Thank you. Just wanted to make sure I will be ruling this correct for my players. :)
