    Here's That Official Conversion Document You've Been Waiting For!

    I imagine that there are corner cases along the edge of bounded accuracy where +2/-2 is more potent than bounded accuracy, but yeah if you do it by feel there probably isn't much need for me to run the math at this hour.

    Here's That Official Conversion Document You've Been Waiting For!

    I don't quite get the disappointment Was anyone expecting every old monster converted, every 3E feat chain and prestige class redone as a subclass or feat or any ADEU powers version of the classes for people who wanted to play 4e using 5e rules? Mind you, I think that might be a worthy...

    D&D 5E (2014) What classes do you want added to 5e?

    My most wanted... 1) An arcane Half-Caster that is more magic focused than the Eldritch Knight but more martial than the other options currently available. 2) Some sort of magical creator class that has options for Artificer/Alchemist/Rune Scribes that eschews spells and focuses on building...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Ability Scores are the most involved ones on Saving Throws

    Something just seems a tad off to me about the whole saving throw system in 5e. I like the idea that they are all tied to attributes in principle. It seems a bit messier in actual play at high levels pushing the edges of bounded accuracy on a low stat. Maybe PCs just need to be proficient in all...

    D&D 5E (2014) I don't want to homebrew anymore...

    I will just say this here... I think that they could easily do an extra Adventure Path or two a year without overwhelming their customer base particularly if they don't bloat up those with a lot of character building options and spells. I am not sure how that would interact with Adventurer's...

    New Issue of Dragon+

    Is there any way to get this magazine online without an App? I despise reading things on my phone. I know... I know.. I sound impossibly old.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlord with Chevalier as Subclass

    I like it. This almost makes me tempted to redo the fighter a bit based on this model. The feat at 3rd level as the setup for the Archetype is a nice touch. I might conjure up a few Fighter subclasses with weapon and armor feats using the same model.

    D&D 5E (2014) who put baby in the corner?

    Weirdly, as a former Warlord skeptic, I now actually would like to see a 5E Warlord (as a UA developed class) for similar reasons. At least we could all be contentious about something that exists (a WOTC designed Warlord) rather than a theoretical something.

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternative Battlemaster Fighter

    How about just give Battlemaster Fighters all the maneuvers when they pick up the subclass at 3rd level? As it is most players at most tables are going to rely on only a handful of them anyway, but it does give them a bit of flexibility for corner cases that occasionally crop up where a maneuver...

    D&D 5E (2014) With the reintroduction of PrCs which are on your 'must see' list?

    I have been playing around with a theme mechanic to add certain flavors to any class by dropping the hit size die by one (kind of an anti-Toughness). It works with certain ideas more than others. It is good for adding exploration and interaction tiers, not so much for combat. Since it is...

    D&D 5E (2014) With the reintroduction of PrCs which are on your 'must see' list?

    All of them, but make them full 20 level classes (maybe without subclasses/archetypes since they are already specialized) and have special requirements for multiclassing if you don't start at level 1 ("you must join the Order of Hazmat and already have a Poison Shard to join this class" with...

    D&D 5E (2014) The missing mechanic

    An "Adept" would probably the word we would be looking for an equivalent concept in plain English. It may have too many connotations with recent spiritual traditions, Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley as well as a variety of uses in D&D itself over the years and in other game systems that the...

    D&D 5E (2014) "A Living and Breathing World...": Dungeons & Dragons Thesis

    I only had a brief skim, but it looks good. I look forward to checking it out.

    Here Come The PRESTIGE CLASSES! Plus Rune Magic!

    I've decided I like the idea... the flavor... and the mechanics. But ultimately I would like to see something like this as a subclass of an Artificer/Alchemist class. Although as a test run for how prestige classes might work.... it isn't bad, but this looks a better fit for where I think they...

    Here Come The PRESTIGE CLASSES! Plus Rune Magic!

    While they are definitely staying true to the original idea of Prestige Classes, it pretty much precludes anything vaguely Martial for ever being up for consideration, since the "secret society"/"learn from a master of the art"/"you must have this special DM given object to start" doesn't mesh...

    Here Come The PRESTIGE CLASSES! Plus Rune Magic!

    I like it. I guess I would rather see it as a full blown optional new class, but that is my preference with all these type character options over both feats and subclasses. I don't see anything game breaking about this though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rage of Demons/Out of the Abyss inspired soundtrack

    Cool! I don't have much to say... but keep up the good work!

    Here's That SCAG Table of Contents!

    This looks good. I don't play in the FRs and this looks like something I might pick up to mine for ideas.
