Nope. You got it in one. In the game design, the net was never viewed as a serious threat, but more as a temporary hassle. In my Home Rules, only a bladed weapon used a regular attack, but had to roll for damage. A piercing weapon attack, less effective at cutting the net, had to hit the...

I had come across this story while loafing around on the Internet around the time that 5e D&D came out: "Páll Stefánsson makes percussion instruments out of natural materials. Heima shows Stefánsson tirelessly testing stones, checking the tone each makes, so that he can build a stone marimba...

... and it just gets better and better! :lol:

Do both. Most copies would be the simpler versions that wizards may have heard of, and wizards look for a variety of the books as they are likely to contain different sets of spells, perhaps sorted by school tradition. The Greedy Grimoire is a spirit that took possession of one of these simpler...

What a delightful concept! The drawbacks might make a wizard hesitate, though. Perhaps it could be reworked as some kind of possession or curse. By some game mechanic, perhaps the Greedy Grimoire could take possession of the wizard's own current spellbook? Whatever direction you take with...

Hi, Remathlis! This is why I liked PoL/Nentir, because it was a grab-bag of story lines, etc., although I do agree with your concern about ignoring the origins of things. Heck, it's the same reason why I like Shadowrun, too - a toy box full of raw materials for my imagination. What I did was...

Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun. Sweet memories for that one! Of course, I was the DM, not a player, so I didn't suffer as much as their PCs did. It was tough, but they won through.

Check this link: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?505498-5e-QL-s-Al-Qadim-Game Quickleaf has been running an online playtest adventure of the game for awhile. The link will let you catch up on that adventure.

As Saelorn says, the mix of damages and saves do not match up to D&D conditions. Fire, yes; that makes sense with a Dex save. Failing a save against Thunder damage should be a Con save, with the Deafened condition the failure result. Pushing a targeted creature requires Force damage, so that...

Interested. Downloaded, and I like your work.

Thank you for the clarification on the source for Monstrous Companion - it makes sense now. I like the Monstrous Rage cantrip, and appreciate your reasoning for it. The cantrip looks to be based on the Druid's Shillelagh cantrip, and fits this concept very well. Regarding your concern about...

That worked - Grazie!

No wonder I didn't see it. Missing things in front of my nose is my other super-power.

Sorry that it has taken so long to get back to this thread; well, y'know, life. I've only found one thing that I feel hits the "over-powered" trigger, in the Companion's Bond feature: Becoming proficient with all saving throws. At 3rd level, it is way too unfair to other creatures of comparable...

When does this poll close?

I just tried the link and none of the update/fixes appear on it.

My own most common typo may well be the word "ithe". That's from when my thoughts are going faster than my fingers can keep up, and is an unintended contraction of the words "in the".

An intriguing concept. The Shadow leans into an Evil direction, even if not through malice, but simply by the nature of its hunger. The best that it might manage, alignment-wise, appears to be Chaotic Neutral. That might make it difficult to be accepted by other adventurers. It would be smart...

Oh, this looks good, and as per your usual, the presentation is top-notch. The "Secure Home" and "Secure Ship" spells are delightful additions to the game.

"Lies, damn lies, and statistics." Sad truth, but I find all three to be sources of entertainment. :-S Although this article only included the third category, I certainly enjoyed it!
