    D&D 5E (2014) DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    I got mine about this time yesterday. I think I must have been about the first to sign up after Hobo posted about sign-ups here.

    D&D 5E (2014) Really want access to DungeonScape

    You should be able to have the app not let the screen turn off while its running. I think many apps do this. If Trapdoor doesn't code it that way, people will hopefully notice and mention it during beta.

    D&D 5E (2014) Your Thoughts on Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle

    Aside from that, how did you find it? I'm not too worried about tweaking the monsters, myself; but I'm trying to figure out whether to run my group through that next, too.

    D&D 5E (2014) Difference between critical hits and automatic hits.

    A third level fighter critical hitting Orcus is going to do maybe 2d12 or 4d6 (+ modifiers, of course). Maybe to your Orcus that's a big deal. To my Orcus, it's only slightly annoying... like when a mosquito bites in a particularly sensitive spot. If it's realistic to have a 5% chance to hit...

    D&D 5E (2014) Champion Improved Critical - Autohit on 19/18 or not?

    Oh wow; that thread isn't even old! I tried a search but ENWorld responded that I could only do one search every 30 seconds... but that was the first search I tried! I guess I should have just manually looked back a bit. Thanks for the link!

    D&D 5E (2014) Champion Improved Critical - Autohit on 19/18 or not?

    Hi All, For the Champion Fighter, the Improved Critical feature at level 3 reads "... your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 o 20" and similarly at level 15. It says if you roll a 19, you score a critical hit, and a critical hit is a hit. I read this as very clearly...

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

    My half-orc Paladin isn't munchkin. I was super happy they decided to use a portrait of my first 5e character (well, from the playtest, then ported to the official rules). In general, I really like that then tended to choose "non-obvious" race/class combinations for the portraits, although I...

    D&D 5E (2014) PAX Prime D&D Live Game With Acquisitions Incorporated

    Awesome. Watching it now. Great camera set-up, and and they just have a better rapport with each other this time than at the PAX east one, I think.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tyranny of Dragons: Online Comic #1

    Exactly. For the last month, I've been just loving to read all the many stories of LMoP playthroughs that have come through here and reddit. There have been at least a few every week; and it's just grand to see them, and to compare them to each other and to my own group's campaign.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tyranny of Dragons: Online Comic #1

    This showed up on the Wizards site today. Looks cool! http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/tyranny-dragons-comic1 I really like how they're making the story span the product line with various partners. I'm interest in seeing how it plays out, and how well this approach works.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ran Defiance in Phlan Tonight

    Yeah, I think the Healer feat is a great one. It especially goes a decent way toward helping parties get by without clerics. Specifically, you (a) can bring a party member to 1hp instead of 0hp when you stabilize, which is huge in battle; since it saves an action (especially if the...

    D&D 5E (2014) I for one hope we don't get "clarification" on many things.

    If you are going to compare playing role-playing games to putting together pre-fabricated furniture, you're going to have to do better than that. My friends and I don't get together for a few hours to put together furniture. Of course furniture has clear and concise instructions. Even board...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Wizard = specialist wizard?

    I guess I'm in the same boat as many of the rest of the responders here. At first, I was pretty upset when I found out there would not be a generalist subclass. Especially because I had liked what they'd done in the playtest. But once I saw the options available to me, I completely forgot this...

    Ha! "I don't like it, therefore it's lazy." That's a new one.

    D&D 5E (2014) Encounter XP # of Monster Multiplying

    Of all the rules I've seen, this by far is the one that seems to need the most work. I get what they're trying to do, but as this thread illustrates, it's far from clear that it accomplishes the design goal, and if it does, it's far from clear how it does. Also, philosophically, it makes no...

    D&D 5E (2014) Overchanneling cantrips

    I'm curious to see if Potent Cantrip receives any errata. At least two designers have discussed it on twitter, indicating that indeed it only works with save cantrips and not mentioning the idea of house-ruling it or any errata. (Although I think now is not the time for them to start using the...

    D&D 5E (2014) player wants to use fishing pole as his tool proficiency, what can I do with this?

    You could have there be fishing contests, like those in the Zelda games. And then they could lead to further plot developments if he gets interested in it: for example, he may enter a contest only to find the top ranked fisher, the presumed champion, has been murdered, which might lead them on...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Wishlists!

    I keep thinking they're going to do a Dark Sun setting and/or adventure path, and Psionics will be (re)introduced in that. That's the vibe I got from the various Legends & Lore articles over the last 2 or so years.

    D&D 5E (2014) DM screen?

    I was going to edit my post after GX.Sigma responded, because I couldn't find a source easily, and didn't want to give out false information. Now I'm glad I didn't because I woke up to a bright and glowing source...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM screen?

    I believe Gale Force 9 is releasing a Tyranny of Dragons DM screen in September.
