I've had a very sleep-deprived week (including right now). I could have sworn somebody complained upthread that rogues couldn't gain new skill proficiencies via class features, but I may well have been hallucinating or just misinterpreted something. Well that clears up my confusion. I hope...

Thanks for clarifying! I'm still a little confused though. I don't remember the rogue getting bonus skills in O5E at later levels either. In fact I just double checked it, and O5E rogue gets 4 skills and thieves tools. A5E gets 4 skills, thieves tools, disguise kit, and poisoner's kit and a...

I'm curious what you are refering to. A5E has the skillful feat, which can give you any combination of 3 skills/tools/languages/skill specialties. Furthermore, you can now also gain skills from downtime, which you couldn't do in O5E. There are also a number of other ways to gain additional skill...

I was thinking about this same thing. There's an awesome homebrew class named the ozodrin that I had planned on playing in a one shot for halloween before illness struck. Now I wonder how it would stack up against A5E classes. I suppose that when my complaint about Level Up is that I wish more...

I noticed this too. My assumption was exactly the opposite though. I was assuming it's supposed to be "If you possess Fighting Style: Archery, when using Trained Accuracy the +2 bonus to attack becomes a +2 bonus to damage." Figured it was put in their as a just in case because they were worried...

Most everyone's TSR here. You may have noticed, I'm not designing actual games myself.

That was ridiculously prompt. Wow. Will be taking a good long look. Thank you very much.

Does En5ider or other EN publishing pay free lancers for work, or is there an En5ider publishing team that works on all projects? If the first, do they have an open call for a theme, or do people submit an idea to see if there's interest? Basically, a rundown on how the process works. Really...

Except it doesn't: Light + 20 dex = 17​

I think I'm just going to have players start picking a color of magic card to determine alignment. Seems more useful.

Well remember that you can change them out with 8 hours of study, so you might want to adjust your at-wills on occasion. As a baseline spell, though, I would go with invisibility for the 2nd level slot. Being able to cast invisibility at will means that one of the party members simply doesn't...

I know I didn't outright say this, but this was just a RAW thought experiment. I firmly believe in rulings not rules, but a lot of the discussion (and part of the point of sage advice as written in it's first column) is based on RAW. That said, I'd like to point out a couple of things. 1) I...

Well someone else may have said this about crossbows but... Round 1) Attack with my main hand weapon Bonus action attack with a crossbow Use one free object interaction to sheathe main weapon As I now have a free hand, load crossbow Round 2) Use...

Okay, I have to admit two things before I comment. One, I committed the cardinal sin and didn't read through the whole thread before I posted. Two, I started playing in 3rd edition (though I was introduced to the concept of Dnd via novels and such before then). As far as low magic, 5e blows...

Well, I am currently running a tyranny of dragons campaign that has gone "off the rails". We are gonna stick with the basic concept, but I expect the specifics of how they try to stop the cult are going to end up very different then in the book. (I tend to improv a lot anyways, so it's no...

I think that depends. First off, how would you have the 5E version interact with armor. Personally I thought a combination of Armor as Damage Reduction and Defense Bonus By Level would have been fun to try in 3E, but never did. I think that I would try running it as half your proficiency bonus...

I see the ranger as a bit of a jack of all trades. Warrior, skill user, minor magic, all wrapped up in a wilderness oriented package. So I think the subclasses serve to focus the ranger slightly into one of those roles. So already printed. Beastmaster: The pet ranger. Whole threads have been...

My group made a couple of go's at 3rd edition's The World's Largest Dungeon (great read and map rescource, horrible adventure to play through from my experience). At one point we used savage species "monster levels" + unearthed arcana gestalt rules. I was a vampire ogre. Somebody else was a...

I would love to see a dnd setting based around Terry Brooks Shannara. Some tweaking would have to be done (Druids are much more similar in capabilities and fluff to Dnd wizards, and such) but I think it would be awesome. High fantasy, with multiple ruins and legends of bygone threats. Built on a...

One of the people I DM for has already complained about the Tarrasque. The thing for my group is the loss of it's super regeneration. To us, that was a HUGE part of it's identity. We got our start in 3rd edition, and knowing the Tarrasque WILL heal 40hp per round was one of it's main selling...
