Thaco was easy. The new way is easy. Not everyone is math enabled. If it helped those less inclined to understand a - sign how to play D&D =Awesome. I don't understand gamer's getting worked up about it. If you want use thaco right now it's easy enough to do.

Not broken at all for our table either. The Barbarian who uses it isn't even on of our the top damage dealers. This edition is MADE for things to SEEM overpowered but those things just don't add up to BE OVERPOWERED. Or looking at it from another view....Yes it's overpowered but no more...

If it's good we will buy it. Price is a issue only in the sense of what I'm willing to shell out for a unknown product. Once reviews are out and those reviews are favorable price doesn't enter into it as much.

One of my groups is a large group of new rpg players and one or two long time players who couldn't min/max out of a paper bag. There are six of them and I run the adventures as is and don't alter a thing for them being six. So yes they level slowly but they would anyway, we run a lot of role...

There is no magic role playing game system out there that can overcome mismanagement and poor business decisions.

Is it ok if I cut open this giant rat and search it for gems or anything else that might be inside? This said probably for the hundredth time despite me saying"frankly, no it is not. It's not ok man, I mean your character can indeed do it but why you always do this every time even though you...

Do you feel like playing D&D this weekend?

5 out of 5 rating for Tales from the Yawning Portal This book is packed with great adventures that are perfect for use with the larger adventure paths to get the pc's caught up a few levels.

Don't have this issue. A dropped pc often means a dead pc in my game. Now when they do come up in the middle of a fight they sometimes are dismayed to discover than they let go of whatever they were holding when they went unconscious! More than once has a character looked around in dismay to...

Oh Gods! Not this again! I had this debate 40 years ago with my best friend and it lead to my characters death and his character drinking his own pee in order to survive, Some subjects should not be broached! There is no fun and even slightly realistic answer to this debate. Just stop now and...

Yes, if you have a 12 strength you must play your character like the true jock brute that he is. Make sure everything you do is focused around his strength and just realize you will be attacked first so that you don't get a chance to lay waste to the enemy. Any character that so focused his...

I agree. A -1 to int is no more game breaking than a +1 to strength. So they are mildly negatively impacted by a stat, big deal. They do recieve a -1 though. So hardly calling for a need to punish them further. While you are at it why not punish every wizard or rogue with a low strength score?

We play on average once a week(prob around 1 and 1/2) for 8-12 hours or so. About every other week we might get in two games and around holidays we go crazy and play huge. One a year we all take out vacations together and play for like a week strait. I guess it's important to note I play with...

My players think 5E's exp advancement is way too fast. They don't want to have a stable of characters or create a new character with every adventure path( or even do adventure paths for that matter). They want to play their characters for years and years through many story arcs and adventure...

We have had many many deaths starting from the first night we played 5E. Too many foes will finish off a downed party member. When intelligent enemies realize that a downed pc is just a heal away from rejoining the fight they tend to finish them off. Now a lot of enemies will not do that but...

One of my players has come to me asking if his Pirate themed halfling beast ranger can have a monkey pet. It certainly looks fine on the surface of things but talking to him I became a little uneasy. He wants to arm it with daggers and even eventually a friggin flintlock(I allow those). I...

Every single class in the game is overpowered in some way. Your version doesn't seem to me to be overpowered. So I would say maybe think on buffing the key points a little?

Or just take a page from Old School and 0 is Death unless the attack was specified as non-lethal. PC's will die a lot more but dang it if it wouldn't put that old fear of death back into the game.

Not at my table MISTER! Belly up to my table with no one to care about no enemies,no chains connecting you to the world and your life expectancy ain't worth the paper its written on! Don't have those things? Well it must be because your enemies have already killed them all and have saved you...

I would have given it to them just like the OP did. I mean they friggin summoned a Marilith! How cool is that? and had a great that a boy battle to! Heck yeah! Now afterwards like 2 adventures latter I would start throwing massive almost overwhelming ambushes at them as Orcus or some other...
