    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Basic DM rules updated

    That had been my thought. There's been a decent amount of editing, but at a glance (aside from the few previously mentioned additions) I didn't notice huge differences. I'm still really not sure how I feel about the encounter building guidelines. I'm not a huge fan of encounter guidelines in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls to do AMA on Reddit Monday 11/3 around 10:00AM Pacific

    Hi folks, I noticed this announcement on Reddit /r/rpg today that Mike Mearls will be doing an AMA a week from today, beginning at (or around) 10AM. I thought others might be interested. I'm looking forward to this, especially because I always looked forward to his Legends & Lore articles to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    Not to mention maybe your player doesn't really want to play an archer anyway if what he's worried about is whether or not he's going to find piles of magic arrows.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the Tarrasque tough enough?

    That's a lot of magic arrows, and the Tarrasque can use its bonus action to move twice as fast as any PC, meaning it can chase a person down and knock just about any obstacle out of the way without losing time. So, unless the PC is dashing, it should catch them pretty quickly. Certainly within...

    Now I want a folding boat of power... and seven parts.

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's list the "broken" spells

    This is about elves, not Vulcans. And anyway, it's not illogical; downtime and sleep (or its equivalent for other races) are not the same thing. Yes, the elf has to relax for another 4 hours.

    D&D 5E (2014) General Feats Discussion

    I don't know, I think a lot of the feats are really cool, and I'd consider taking them over +2 in many cases. But given that, as Dausuul said, overpowered feats are much more of a problem than underpowered ones, I think they were right to be cautious. Some are probably weaker than they should be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Unlock DMG Previews

    Frankly, I think what people are discussing about pricing/etc for magic items should be presented as an optional module. I don't want to see it at all, for the same reasons others having given. But I have no problem with it presented as an option, since a clear (and quality) pricing system would...

    D&D 5E (2014) Another LMoP Question and Speed of Play

    I think on your third session, being through half of Cragmaw Castle isn't terribly slow overall. I wouldn't expect Cragmaw to be entered before the third session, and it can take some time to get through if the PCs are careful (and kill them if they aren't). I also imagine there was a fair...

    Thanks for the heads-up. I missed this.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lost Mine of Phandelver (pretty much the worst adventure title in the history of D&D)

    Yeah, it's really fine. People like to complain about things. People are hyperbolic. It's not the best title in the world, but it's far from the worst.

    D&D 5E (2014) So, thoughts on the Paladin now?

    With the caveat that it's limited use, I quite agree with you. I always prepare spells with the intention of casting them... but in the end, I smite Smite SMITE! more often than not. And my DM has us on a homebrew where the baddies are mainly undead, so I feel I've been holding my own even with...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e XP Chart Progression Question

    I'm fairly sure Mearls has stated that the DMG would have variants for faster and slower progression, and for "milestone" leveling. He discusses milestone leveling in this Legends & Lore article. I know the philosophy behind the PHB leveling system, as clearly stated by previous posters, has...

    D&D 5E (2014) Please Support Eberron!

    Best of luck. I've never played Eberron, but it's clearly had a lasting impact on D&D and thus the hobby. I'd love to pay money for a shiny 5e Eberron book. Godspeed! Edit: P.S. I donated $5, because even though 5 isn't enough, 1 really isn't. Hope I can still be counted.
