Wikipedia has some info on the dwarven gods of FR here. Morthammer Duin gets his own blurb.

My group had nearly the same plan, except they faked being captured by Yeemik and the rest of the surviving goblins. Fortunately, they had some great rolls and high initiative, and Klarg took a full on magic missile and a massive axe blow before his first swing... and then Klarg missed. The...

One of my favorite lines is during the first Acquisitions Incorporated podcast, when Mike Krahulik (playing Jim Darkmagic) states ... basically at the beginning of the adventure when Perkins tells them they've heard of some mysterious baddy named Irontooth ... "I roll to kill Irontooth!"...

This is one place where the playtest explicitly stated you round up instead of rounding down, isn't it? I was surprised to see that wording disappear. We still round up here.

Strangely, the HotDQ supplement mentions them in the Magic Items section, but simply refers the reader to spells section. But I see no information on how scrolls should actually be used in the supplement. Perhaps HotDQ specifies this itself. I have it, but don't want to read it, in case I...

LMoP spoiler I ran the Cragmaw hideout last night. They (the cleric, mage, and noble fighter; along with the rogue as NPC) slept two of the wolves and killed a third, before sending the cleric up the chimney having a Light spell on her holy symbol. The bugbear leader Klarg, his goblins, and...

I disagree. People paying attention don't even have to own the PHB at this point to be able to get a ton of knowledge of the game, including how the "non-basic" classes are shaping up. We already know what the key new principles are (such as bounded accuracy, concentration, multi-class...

This is something I thought of last night. I didn't play any 3e or 4e; had a 20 year hiatus from 2e and got back into 5e with the playtest. So I don't know if the spell Witchbolt existed prior to now. But I find it especially awesome since it really recalls to me the kind of magic duals made...

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but none of those classes have reached the appropriate level yet, right? So you shouldn't have any spellcasting ability. If you can't stick with something long enough to reach key benefits, you shouldn't get them. Even if your other classes are similar. I think...

Yup, if optimal balance is your priority, don't roll stats. Plenty of groups still prefer to roll stats. Different strokes for different folks. Of course if balance isn't your priority, this thread isn't terribly relevant anyway.

I agree. I think it's a waste of space to repeat the information, which should be easily findable using bookmarks for back-of-book or print-outs, or CTRL+F (or CMD+F) on a laptop, or other search functionality. I find it goes pretty smoothly. As for linear vs. sandbox, whether it's good or...

I think you hit the nail on the head exactly. What we've seen of D&D media so far has ranged from noble (but failed) attempts to outright disasters. And you're absolutely right that this has been a net negative for the game itself. There's no reason something cannot be made with the same level...

They can still get angry while wearing chain mail; they're just not comfortable enough to tap into that rage to their benefit. Too distracted by the chafing.

It's so easy for someone to claim poor design when they see something they don't like. This is almost never correct.

That's cool. Has that existed in previous editions?

Well, one can receive XP for accomplishing goals, regardless of winning, losing, or running from battles. Being clever in avoiding deadly situations or tricking enemies should be worth a fair number of experience points.

I'm pretty sure they've said that it was intentional in interviews, responding to these kinds of questions. They're not opposed to minis/pawns/etc (hence the Heroes of the Realms release), but they want new players to know that minis are not necessary. Also, (I think) they feel providing...

You're supposed to say "and counting." Don't make Thaumaturge angry. Edit: For tyops.

By the end of August, I will have been alive for 36 years and counting.
