    D&D 5E (2014) Is Xanathars The New UA? AKA A Munchkins Book

    Play with a Wandering Mobsters Chart. While everyone else is asleep, the mafia comes and breaks the outnumbered Coffeelock’s kneecaps to teach him a lesson. Next time he’ll be reacquainted with a long rest...a long rest with the fishes!

    "Yuan-ti Pureblood Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer"

    If you choose a black or green dragon, you could refluff it a bit to be a serpent-blooded sorcerer

    Eberron to get it's own season 8 AL campaign around the time Dragon Heist is released

    That was my first thought: an initial source of 5e Eberron adventures for play/kitbashing...

    D&D 5E (2014) Resurrecting dead from millenia?

    I don’t know if it’s the exact mechanical answer, but I wonder if you could deal with the matter through adventure design. As noted, the issue at hand is (in canon) mainly one of the soul moving on in the afterlife/planes beyond its mortal existence, such that there’s a limit beyond which it’s...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone NOT expect the Artificer and Mystic to release with the final version of 'Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron'?

    The finalized Artificer will certainly be in the completed Wayfinder’s Guide. The matter of the Psion depends on what WotC is doing with Dark Sun and when. If that’s a property that’s being released in some formal fashion in the next year or so, I could see the Psion being released with that and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Gnomes/clockwork/making sense of it

    Here’s a thought: The particular math used for such devices is rendered entirely in the gnomish language (much as we use a Greek in our advanced math). But the gnomish language is difficult to learn by others, due to how it’s constructed for gnomish biology — gnomes are usually shown with large...

    Revised Ranger update

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see another “pet” subclass release for the Ranger at some point to supplement the Beastmaster, just as the Zealot Barbarian sort of supplements the Berserker (filling a similar role/style, but coming from a different narrative place). It’s probably just a matter of...

    Season 8 Changes (Adventurers League)

    The solution is to not rely on a 3e-style “the only equipment that matters is magic loot” system. Have a bard show up to the table with a full retinue of hirelings — like a band’s techs and roadies, set to announce to the dungeon that the goblins have a star in their midst and he won’t have...

    Season 8 Changes (Adventurers League)

    You’re just tricking folks into believing that you’re a cleric of Solinari? (cue snickering Hiddukel)

    D&D 5E (2014) The D&D Multiverse How it Was and How They Might Be Screwing it Up.

    Checking the 1st edition Deities & Demigods, wherein the Central American Pantheon comes from “an alternate Prime Material Plane,” it explains that Commune and Gate can transcend the two. Of course, that speaks to a rulesets where the two PMPs are treated as separate planes. As noted, the...

    Why I feel so abysmally let down by the "Ravnica" news...

    I’m curious how The Death of The Author works in a field of work with both resurrection and necromantic magic.

    Envoy Warforged: You Pass Butter

    I still stand by my idea of a Warforged from the Last War who transforms into a small boat to fjord marines across rivers behind enemy lines and then join them in battle (without having any cumbersome craft for them to either carry around or have to stow somewhere where it can be discovered) and...

    Sage Advice: Plane and world hopping (includes how Eberron and Ravnica fit in D&D cosmology)

    Having not played Planescape or Spelljammer as they were, is this elegant form of combining the Prime Material Plane and Phlogiston/Crystal Spheres original here or based off older editions? I’m used to the classic “alternate Prime Material Planes” of 1st Edition, and Planescape and Spelljammer...

    AD&D 2E How to Convert High-Level 2e Spellcasters to 5e?

    Not a broad comment (as others have covered it), but one thought on the HP issue: having substantially more hit points for such major Wizard NPCs shouldn’t be a problem in terms of the fiction if you consider part of those to reflect the previous edition’s array of magical and divine...

    Envoy Warforged: You Pass Butter

    All jokes aside, the idea of a Warforged built to transform into a boat to ferry marines behind enemy lines (so they don’t need to carry/story a heavy rowboat and can have an additional combatant) sounds like a cool element of the Last War.
