    D&D 5E (2014) Level vs CR

    The CR is really based on how much damage you can do. I am sure there is a formula somewher that links CR and max damage output. If your using mostly lower level mosters (CR5 and less) it's easy to get a feel. I don't play higher level games so I don't know how to do those easily. The REAL...

    D&D 5E (2014) Level vs CR

    I use the NPC's in the MM as a base. I think the 5th level cleric in there is a CR2. Now, it isn't a GREAT 5th level cleric so if you start making optimal choices with feats and spells, I would bump him up to a 3.

    D&D 5E (2014) Player's Handbook Binding

    Try Amazon first. WOTC's policy is for you to mail them them defective product, then they make a judgement and mail you a new one.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleric Domains and Turn Undead

    I think a feat to add a second domain is okay. The PC will have a gizillion options but can't actually do more.

    D&D 5E (2014) Player's Handbook Binding

    My binding split. Somewhere around the sorcerer pages it has come apart. None of the pages have come out but it's only a matter of time. I contacted WOTC but they want me to mail it back. I don't want to be without it for 2 weeks so I guess I am going to deal with it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Beast Master Ranger List of Animal Companions

    Once you have the Extra Attack feature, you can make one w eapon attack yourself when you com m and the beast to take the Attack action. SO at 5th level, the gnome ranger swings once and then his badgers attacks three times?

    The beast master may suck but these options make it cool.

    D&D 5E (2014) Necromancer Games 5E Monster Teaser #2 - The Aranea!

    The CR seems about right. I think as a general rule the CR for spellcasters is something like CL-2. Couple quibbles: Spellcasting- I would like to see a (2) next to 2nd level spells for spells able to cast. Poison- Don't most saving throws come at the end of the round? I could be wrong...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin/Warlock Spells

    I am unsure how the warlock works with spells and multiclassing. If I am a Paladin 4/Warlock 3 : Do I cast my Warlock Spells like a 5th level caster? Do I get Paladin Spells as if I were 5th level? I am limited to what I know by my actual levels but I cast spells as if I was 5th level right...

    D&D 5E (2014) So...warlocks?

    I think the Warlock can definitely be a "striker". They can do some serious melee damage with the blade pact or can be a ranged artillery guy with their EB if you choose the augmenting incantations. My first level guy does 1d10+1d6 (hex spell)+3 with 14 AC and 11 HP (with temp HP starting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Any ideas for re-flavored mechanics?

    We do it all the time. Some examples are: Our Barbarian is a rich kid who wears blouses. He doesn't rage, he goes into a "precision strike". We reskin demihumans and make them humans sometimes. A dragonborn with fire breath weapon has a tool that allows him to breath fire like a carnival...

    D&D 5E (2014) Non-Proficient Saves

    Yeah but all the bonus scale as well. The bards help dice get bigger, clerics have access to better spells, paladins aura gets batter and more frequent. I think the OP is missing some variables in his analysis.

    D&D 5E (2014) Non-Proficient Saves

    I don't think a change is needed either. Now, I play almost exclusively low to mid level games and haven't played 5E past 6th level but in my experience the saves work well. There are so many opportunities to get a advantage or a bonus on the first save and then a second save that or auto end...

    D&D 5E (2014) Deadly Encounter

    So last night I ran a "deadly encounter". It was pretty close.... Bad guys: Vampire Spawn (CR 5) Wyvern (CR 6) Reskinned as a spider, fly speed became a "jump" speed, poison stinger decreased ineffectiveness after the first hit (played more like a CR 4) Swarm of Snakes (CR 2) Good Guys...
