well that has changed... "Of Course Not": Chris Pine Update Shuts Down Star Trek 4 Return

I think you need to tell your players that this game isn't for fun but to satisfy the curiosity of internet people they never heard of. That should motivate them!

I usually keep it vaguely defined, but I do have one race I went into pretty thorough detail. The Yoon-Suin campaign setting has many strengths, and one of them is that it leaves the individual DM a lot of room to create their own version of Yoon-suin. The origin of slugmen wasn't explained...

Dak'kon's class is an interesting question in 5e. EK: maybe, but his magic seemed too potent for that Warlock (hexblade). Maaaaybe? Bladesinger: seems the best fit, but would need to be reflavored College of sword: hmmmm not really? another interesting - doesn't quite fit but still cool -...

So perhaps some more useful advice, following that nit-picking (sorry!): I think a major factor on how dangerous a dungeon is is how "reactive" the dungeon is. If, for a number of reasons, the party is able to take it one room at a time, it's much easier to manage. If however a fight in room...

When you say "hard or medium", do you mean encounters that are actually hard or medium, or hard or medium as defined by the DMG? I'm saying that because I - and many others - have found that a medium encounter, as defined by the DMG, is usually quite easy. Because given 2 short rests...

30 years of gaming, and this is the first time I've seen this recommendation. A rather handy rule of thumb! I also note that it needs 18 rooms minimum to "work" (given one sixth of one third).

... really? PEG only protects vs a portion of foes, given the very limited amount of spells you can learn as an EK, I wouldn't take it...

thanks I think that many of us are interested in how the new stuff works out.

thanks And - apologies if you've already stated this - where are we on the "old section, new section" portions of the adventure?

This sounds like a very good "in between" session. How much was your improv and how much was in the written adventure?

This is territory that's already been covered... Monster Menu-All Part 1: AD&D Monster Manual: PDF Version

Worse case scenario, the RK can redirect the attack to themselves, esp if the hill rune is going. Not ideal, but it can save a squishy ally.

I concur. You can hold on to your halberd or great sword etc with one hand for a moment to cast a spell with the other. "Hand economy" is an important, but somewhat obscured, part of the game. A lot of GMs don't care, but some do.

the RN has a number of method to shield allies from attack: the cloud rune the storm rune the runic shield One could argue that the control ability of the fire rune and stone rune can also help protect allies, but that's stretching the definition.

I think it depends what you mean by "best tank". The EK can be more durable, yes, 100%. But the RK is better at protecting the party.

I'm not sure I know how to answer that either. I should also note that the RK I played was, for a number of reasons, not "optimized" - he was a dex-build melee fighter, and RK works best with strength build (to take advantage of the size). However, the subclass is so strong it still worked...

I've seen all 3* in play, so I think I have a fair understanding of what each subclass can do. *I don't consider the echo knight because I haven't seen it in play but also because how poorly written the subclass is. It's a mess. I'm not sure I would agree that the RK is "the best". They have...

I must admit I'm... not as impressed as you are by the organization - I feel like it's missing a cover letter. It's just a bunch of stuff

any easy way of seeing this 90+ page document? There must be a few gems in there... (and thanks for the update!)
