Since I love reading the material so much anyway, I try to be on top of every 3rd party release and unearthed arcana as soon as it 'drops' for the purposes of checking its balance, and tweaking it in a way where it -can- be allowed at my table, so players with desire to try something out, can do...

I'll ignore the spectre change - I like the shadow hounds far too much (in appearance and theme) hehe.

It's honestly a tough point and has plenty of valid argument. Eldritch Blast is 1d10 +Cha (9 times out of 10 warlocks) [and Ranged!], and you can eventually make four of them. With the rules provided on Hexblade, a Longsword would then do equivalent damage (1d10 +Cha), but only twice per round...

I'm actually playing a Hexblade right now - the once per short rest Curse mechanic is a bit harsh, so hopefully that's fixed - and of course Charisma to Attack - otherwise I rather dig it. All in all, however - I'm into the drip feed as well. It's a great pace of teaser content =)

No point of contention in that of course having more information is better. I can't help but think a bit of it stems from the generation. Gygax being kicked from his own company and the generally shady feeling that all the historical information about the early days of DnD could create a...

I made a Radiant Lance for my players. Evocation Cantrip Casting Time: 1 Action Range: 90ft Components: V,S,M (piece of red-stained glass) Duration: Instant You hold out your hand and project a thin beam of pure golden light at a single creature of your choice within range. Make a ranged...

I'm rather fond of a straight run barbarian as a tank. You can use a shield while still using barbarian's unarmored defense, though it does require you to decently pay attention to your Dexterity. Raging of course, giving you resistance to weapon damage types, and at 6 I tend to pick up Bear...

We use the Spell Points variant from the DMG, so for my sorcerers, I allow them to just lump their Sorcery Points and Spell Points into the same pool. A 2nd level Sorcerer would normally have 6 Spell points, and 2 Sorcery Points, so I just lump it to 8 total points, with the metamagics costing...

I was a part of the original Numenera Kickstarter, and backed high enough to be a beta tester - had to hand mail some signed and printed NDAs to Mr. Cook just to participate, so it's not uncommon at all for Kickstarters to still use NDAs, especially in cases like that. I'd imagine, all...

As I've mentioned on other posts about this Morrus, I'd like to hurry and give you my money please.

Played 3.0 the day it released back in 2000, after having spent the last decade+ playing 2E. Switched to 3.5 (eventually) and even a bit of Pathfinder (eventually) and never, ever liked that level of crunch. Could never really get a group past level 7. So, this level of crunch from 5E is...

On man Morrus, this is torture - I want this nooooow. Please.

Replacing Dexterity with Strength for Monks Unarmored Defense bonus is innately weaker due to dexterity controlling initiative, and strength just really controlling carrying capacity. Athletics having a higher bonus instead of Acrobatics could somewhat dissuade that argument, but a very tiny...

That is a bit of what I suspected with the limitation of information available. I can definitely get how some people want more before they pour money into it, but Frank got my support based on his name and the direct tie to Greyhawk; to me, even if it was just an 'extension' to Greyhawk, I'd...

I assume the Pounds to Dollars conversion is done by Kickstarter once it goes live; I'm guessing it'll be around 13 - 14 USD for the setting by itself in pdf, which sounds unbelievably reasonable. I'll definitely be a supporter when you go live; the setting sounds quite fun to read about, and...

Backed before, will back again - and now I'm getting even more for my same initial pledge. Can't complain there. For me personally, the draw and allure comes four-fold: There's the connection to Greyhawk - literally the same planet, just a separate continent with a nice connected story...

I had to make my own ranger relatively quickly after 5E released, because the class as printed in the PHB just... drove my players nuts. I'm curious what they'll do for it in the long run, so interesting 'tweet'.

My players tend to use the written backgrounds as a sort of guide, but I turn the backgrounds more into the back -story- of the character. If they wanted to just have all the exact qualities of the Sage, that's not an issue, I'd just want them to fill in the blanks for how they were a sage...
