Make it so Second Wind can only be used during combat. It's a burst of energy, not a more restful nap.

Having recently picked up the Princes game from my FLGS, but not having time to play it yet, I thought I would start an open thread for people to post their impressions about it before they truly review it and post in the correct spot on the boards. Ill start off by saying that I've never been...

Looks like you're fine for now. Although admitting that you posted a thread that was intended to bring out the worst in people probably wasn't the greatest of ideas. Can you elaborate? I've found that proficiency and expertise function very well, especially when bringing new players into the...

Mine has been evolving over the years. Currently, it's based on some celtic and Gaelic myth and culture, but with tweaks and an underlying theme of chaos and order. The world originally was split into two worlds, a world of order in which the four metallic dragons ruled and created the Eald and...

Hmm, looks like the link is borked.

Is there any chance anyone has placed a bestiary for the Game Masters app in Dropbox?

Looks like the temples are suited towards a certain order, with Air being the weakest and therefore first, and the rest being mostly on par with each other.

Water: 9 or 13 with lair actions Fire: 9 or 12 with lair actions Earth: 8 or 12 with lair actions Air: 7 or 9 with lair actions

I wouldn't say that you're "trolling" persay, but people generally have a difficult time understanding that a person would buy a book that describes a game system without necessarily ever caring to play the game. For most, the books are a means to an end, which in this case is actually playing...

I'm confused as to why you can't use the dozen or so campaign books already out there. Reading through, say, the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide that I have here next to me, only the last dozen or so pages have anything to do with 4th edition. All of the rest of it could be interchanged with any...

Trying to acquiesce to all of their customers demands would cause WoTC to split into about 7000 pieces with the amount of inconsistency.

It's not the "shut up and take my money" attitude, it's "make more things faster and make them the things that I want" that's entitled. Specifically, "what if I don't want to play Elemental Evil? What if I don't want to play Hoard of the Dragon Queen?" that irks me. We have adventures, we have...

This is the point that bothers me the most, not in what Wizards is actually doing, but in how entitled this mindset is. This game has barely been out for half a year. They produced three 300 page books, two 200 page books, and a basic adventure box. They have another adventure coming in just a...

I suppose I'll give it a try and answer some of your points, though I'm curious as to why you're so hostile. In an above post you say anyone trying to make the case that it's fine is trolling. Maybe we're just trying to see the developers rationale? Calling someone naive or apologetic for...

Did I insult you or something? There's an awful lot of vitriol in this post for no reason. My point is this: In the average D&D town, you, as a person, may expect there to be some sort of monster there (since you are playing a game) but you, as a character, should not, since the entire world...

If you're in Thay, sure. Most towns should not have fiends or undead in them. You are clearly playing a very different campaign than I run.

I have a feeling you're being obtuse for no reason, but I'll explain. 5E focuses on the three pillars of the game, Combat, Exploration and Social Interaction. All the classes are balanced not just for combat but for all three of them, making them more useful in different situations. For...

So you don't think it's useful for you to know going into a town that there is an undead problem? Or maybe there's been a bunch of murders and the ranger detects a fiend in the area. Now they know what to look for and can alert the townspeople. Maybe you're fighting a whole bunch of undead and...

It allows for more variability and more scale when it comes to monsters and power levels. It's absolutely absurd that in AD&D, a red dragon can be felled potentially by a critical hit because it rolled low on hit points. Having bigger numbers allows for the monsters that should be powerful to be...
