    Level related special ability for multiclass kits

    The Book of Elves is awesome. Those other races are just jealous. We always used overage of both classes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats as upward level adjustment

    It would really depend on what racial bonuses the Minotaur gets. Not all characters though are going to be able to take advantage of extra feats. The feat selection is rather limited now.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can you retry a failed skill check? How long?

    If it is a situation that one could reroll and try as often as they like I don't even ask for a roll to begin with. I don't want to sit there waiting for a player or even all the players to roll high enough to succeed. So for us the only time one needs to make a roll is when a reroll is not...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Eberron dragonmarks?

    I really like the background idea as the Dragonmarks are so much more then just a magically tattoo. They can't make it part of the feat rules as those are optional and it would force people to play with rules they might not want to play with.

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Concepts you cannot make in 5E

    I think you are doing the same thing. Warlord means so much more then the 4e class. I can make a Warlord using the definition of the word in 5e (I like a good multi classed Fighter/Bard for it) but it won't look anything like the 4e version.

    DOCTOR WHO: "Deep Breath" (SPOILERS)

    Is the title some meta reference for the fans to calm down with the new doctor? I know it kind of fits since they held their breathe to fool the clockwork creations but I wonder if there is not some double meaning there. The episode did seem to lecture the fans that this change is an okay one.

    SciFi channel to become.. SyFy channel

    That would be a ratings bomb NetFlix has an okay selection of old stuff though.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Delay" in 5e

    This is what I do at the weekly game. It speeds the game up and it is easy for everyone to do what they need to do. When running games at a con though because I don't know the players and it is usually louder I take each person's turn one at a time. Different groups need to be handled differently.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Often Should Advantage Be Granted?

    Sounds like the players played intelligently and put together a group of characters with a solid strategy in mind. I think that is great. Good planning making battles easier is something I would want to encourage.

    Charlatan Diviner He has the ability to give people accurate fortunes but found out early in his career that he makes more money conning people and tellingthem what they want to hear instead.

    D&D 5E (2014) duplicate proficiency

    I think you need to play with people you trust instead of assuming the worst of their decisions. I think if for any reason a character would get a skill they already have they are free to choose another one. Skills are not that powerful and while perception seems to be the one king of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Often Should Advantage Be Granted?

    Advantage so far doesn't seem as powerful as people think. I like to reward good role playing a description so I do give advantage some time when players do this. I do prefer to have the players spend their inspiration though when they role play getting into some advantageous situation.

    D&D 5E (2014) now that FR is the generic setting, is darksun also by extension?

    Dark Sun without Psionics is like playing Greyhawk but none has a right leg. Psionics are pretty important to the setting and were built in to such a degree that all characters have at lest a minor psionic ability.

    D&D 5E (2014) now that FR is the generic setting, is darksun also by extension?

    It is a completely separate world from the Realms and it was not a Magical Apocalypse. It was Halflings! It's not Planscape that can't travel there though there might be a restriction I'm not aware of. Spelljammer though specifically could not sail to Dark Sun the Crystal Sphere was damaged or...

    D&D 5E (2014) now that FR is the generic setting, is darksun also by extension?

    No, Darksun would need good support to work in 5e. We would need different subraces for most of the races and new races like the half giant. There would need to be rules on magic and how defiling and preservers work. Clerics and any class that gets spells from gods would need to be gone. Druids...

    AD&D 1E Converting 5e to 1e

    It really depends on what you are converting. Converting modules and monsters is usually pretty easy between all the editions of and variations of D&D. Classes and character options are always trickier and much more difficult.

    Module suggestions

    If you have a used book store near you or if you having a gaming store that sells used books I would try there. Sometimes at my local used book stores I can find old modules for as cheap as $5. You might also see if they have old Dungeon magazines as some times those can be really cheap and they...

    D&D 5E (2014) I think I finally get how hiding works

    I think it is a reflection of the over analysis of the rules that constantly goes on here and few games will ever have these kinds of issues at the gaming table.
