    Some more 5th Ed questions

    1. Glad to see you read it the way I do. I will discuss with the players I see. 2. I think I will probably buy a scroll of Find Familiar. 3. & 4. So I can keep the spell books no one else wants! Awesome. I don't think anyone else in the group realizes that. Definitely will take Ritual Caster...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron Campaign

    So a few weeks ago in AL we played ELW00 I think it was called "What's Past is Prologue" or something close to that. I was not real impressed with the session. I don't know if it was the writing or the GM. But our group found it incredibly difficult to know what was going on. I don't want to...

    Some more 5th Ed questions

    Ok, I've only been playing 5th Ed for a little while. It has all been Adventurer's League and mostly Dragon Heist in case that makes any difference to your answers. Detect Magic - I've been at several tables now with a fair number of casters. I was surprised that absolutely no one has taken...

    The optimizers' opinions on my first 5thEd character, fighter build plan

    This character is for the Adventurer's League with all the applicable limitations. We have a group that meets weekly going through the Dragon Heist hardcover. I do not know if the group will continue to meet regularly after that or if I will just be joining various groups for pick-up AL games...

    OD&D New toD&D 5thEd - Ftr>Eldritch Knight - questions, help, advice

    Hmm.. Apparently the rule "you see what you expect to see" still applies. Ok, that seems kinda messed up to me, but if that's the rule, I'll go with it. I will have to move my gear around to leave most of it back at the house except when expected to need it. Thanks.

    Adventurer's League credit question

    Drat. Ok, like I said, no big deal. I was just hoping I could catch up with the rest of the guys at my regular AL table. I've missed a couple of sessions and that would make me even with them.

    Doesn't heavy armor slow you down even if not over weight?

    Adventurer's League credit question

    Last weekend I stopped by a game shop to look for an AL game. There was one open table. The were running the prelude to the Eberron campaign. It uses lv 0 pregens rather than our own 1st level characters. Those guys are going to apply those sheets to new characters for the Eberron campaign...

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about 5thEd from a Noob

    Guess I really needed sleep that day. I totally missed the part about getting the proficiency bonus. And for some reason I just assumed the pack tactics meant it had to be a wolf ally. So yeah, your right. It's not as terrible as I thought even if still not great. I will think about whether to...

    OD&D New toD&D 5thEd - Ftr>Eldritch Knight - questions, help, advice

    Ok, adjusted slightly, but not as much as I expected. I decided to stick with intimidation even if it is my dump stat. It just seems too much of a soldier-ish kind of think to do even if it won't work too often. And maybe some GM's will let me use str instead of cha if I'm using muscle to...

    Ok, now for my questions about the Adventurer's League (possible spoilers)

    Ok, forgot a question. 7) Can I sell my starting gear for some portion of the list price? That will give me a little bit more for gear.

    Ok, now for my questions about the Adventurer's League (possible spoilers)

    Hmm... Ok. From the discussion around the table, I'm not sure anyone is interpreting it that way. I will ask next session.

    So far, all it does is serve us rancid poisonous ale when we try to interact.

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about 5thEd from a Noob

    Maybe I need to have a discussion with our DM. So far it has been essentially no information regardless of reasoning, skill, or roll. I'm not totally against that. Though I like the intricacies of build mechanics (engineer, go figure), I understand that many do not. I think that is one of the...

    So far bolts, blades, and burning torches go through the ghost with no observable effect.

    Ok, now for my questions about the Adventurer's League (possible spoilers)

    Not sure I'm at the complaint level yet. Still learning the system and all that. So maybe it will work out better than it appears. I also prefer a home game in whatever system. Mostly doing the Adventure League thing to learn the system fairly quickly.

    Ok, now for my questions about the Adventurer's League (possible spoilers)

    I'm looking at the Adventurer's League FAQ, ver 8.2 page 8, second column, Evergreen Unlock List the last item is Armor (or barding), +1 What am I missing?

    Ok, now for my questions about the Adventurer's League (possible spoilers)

    [SPOILERS] No idea. Only three 2.5 hour sessions have been played. Characters are second level. We just rescued Volo and he rewarded us with the deed to a house. We have checked out the house and introduced ourselves around the neighborhood.

    Ok, now for my questions about the Adventurer's League (possible spoilers)

    Some of the stuff in the Adventurer's League is also confusing me. I know I've only played 3 sessions so far. So maybe some of this will make more sense later. 1) Only gain a relatively small amount of coin at level advancements. Completely unrelated to what is found during a session. So even...

    D&D 5E (2014) Questions about 5thEd from a Noob

    It could make a lot of differentiation internally in how a player makes his decision process on what his/her character is going to do. I am not seeing much significant differentiation in game play around the table. Some, but not a lot. Currently in a group playing Dragon Heist.
