These are my notes from my last game.

I don't find this true. Maybe my groups are different but more than 1/2 (7 out of 12) of our 4th level characters took feats over the ability score.

And yes, Magic Initiate makes a PC eligible for those feats. If you wanted to make a F/M type (without going EK) you could also keep taking the MI feat, by 8th level fighter you could have 3 (or 4 if human) 1st level spells and 12 Cantrips. That's a neat character, Captain Cantrip.

It's really tough deciding between a feat or a stat increase, at least at 4th and 8th level (and 6th for fighter). I find it a cool mechanic that makes each character differnt.

"Rock" stars

The Mountain Dwarf Wizard is the combo I am pumped about playing. I am also excited the 1/2Orc Assassin is back. I am also tempted to play a Drow Cleric of Light somehow.

"Well, anyone, can TALK to plants....." and "We aren't out to save the world, we are out to save ourselves. From our selves."

Is there a standard form (or format) for submissions?

I would just give them 1/2 share of XP. The NPC's will go from 1-5 in the time it takes the 8's to get to 9.

I think it's cute. I use a ton of different "critical miss" rules. Roll a 1, then: 1. Nothing happens, you miss, game over. This is group of pretty tactical old dudes who worry about balance and stupid crap like that. 2. Make something up bad like: drop your sword, tangle your flail, slip on...

I think magic item's with concentration spells that either: don't require concentration or concentration by a non-caster are pretty powerful. It basically removes a mechanic designed to bound that accuracy.

I am in this camp as well. I am starting to write a story line based on "Grandpa's axe" a magical trinket that gets stolen from the one of the PC's. The axe will be just a nice axe from level 1-3 (+1 damage) and full blown +1 axe at 4 and 5 and then start unlocking powers every couple levels...

It isn't in the PHB, it's in the DMG. Mithral the metal is only mention twice in the PHB, once in the CREATION spell (you can make it, kinda) and once as a spell component for imprisonment.

LEvels that are a multiple of three. If you don't you are losing a caster level.

It would be kinda neat to run a 5E party through that with the PC's using 5E rules and the DM using 1E.

Good Pete, the Great Hall battle in G1 would be virtually unplayable. There's like 30 giants and some grizzly bears!

I don't intend for it to be taken by the common man, only upper crust elites. I hadn't thought about GWF and the d4's, that does make the Great Sword very nasty. Which is, you know, what I am looking for. The purpose of using the Weapon Master Feat is to: 1. Mimic the old "Exotic Weapon"...

On the main forum, there is a thread bemoaning the lack of sword superiority. I feel that pain. I like to treat swords as weapons of wealth. Peasent heroes don't use swords, knights and nobles do. I want to make these swords "better". I am thinking about making these changes in order to...

I can't remember them all but the ones I normally cast are: Hex Armor of someone Misty step Suggestion Fly Fireball Eldritch blast Bladeward I have burning hands and scorching ray as well but never cast them. Probably half my spells end up being hex. Its really easy to cast because its a...
