how would this work using "light" "finesse" and "heavy" for weapon speed. 1d4 = light 1d6 = finesse 1d8 = weapon 1d10 = heavy how would that change things?

Does anyone know of a Castle Siege dungeon crawl? I'm looking for some ideas beyond just several rooms of encounters. Something on DM's Guild or even something from a previous edition that would be good.

I don’t necessarily mind the 4e references for those fans . . . but it seems to be just throwing in a mechanic and forgetting the fluff. The idea was that Eladrin could move through the feywild briefly. High Elves have not been returned to the Feywild . . . so this feels like it misses the mark...

I am so glad to just get something more than Archetypes. Over the course of 20 levels of play you choose an archetype ONCE. We need more options for things other than a level three choice.

Thank you! Why are we only getting archetypes? It is not the be all and end all mechanic. Please give us something else. Also, if you can’t think of anything interesting for a new archetype (and a clerics abilities smashed onto a wizard means you can’t think of anything) Than no more wizard...

If I could do it all over again I would grab the "Players Companion" for "Adventures in Middle Earth" and use the rules around Shadow and Corruption in my campaign. The book came out after we started, but it would have done a good job giving a feel that Barovia was slowly corrupting the characters.

The corrupted characters are actually something that has been a selling point of the campaign. One of my players did a brilliant job role playing a typical Do-Gooder Paladin who has turned into an Oathbreaker Werewolf, and it is going just amazingly. It would be tricky at this point to enforce...

My characters have entered the Amber Temple. Their loving the sarcophagi, but I'm starting to get a little concerned about how much power they are drawing from them. I've limited the sarcophagi to only giving their gift to one party member, but do the sarcophagi power them up too much? If people...

Love this! A couple points though, the rule of three. There might be some good advice about class composition. If you are a bladelock, wizard, and Cleric party, you could possibly dispel magic three times in one turn. You can reward groups that do that, but you might also still want the story...

I am almost 100% certain this was written in the 2nd E Monstrous Manual. It always bothered me as sounding nonsensical. The Brown dragon depicted in the Draconomicon also had a great design that was well suited to expanding the classic DnD Dragon line up.

And let's not forget the single crowning achievement of 4E fluff, making Blue Dragons coastal dragons. This seriously one of the things that bothered me the most about 5E, that they were put back in the desert, which makes NO sense.

Ugh, I definitely hate symmetry. That was my favorite phrase of 4e (we did not need the various different iterations on Neutral Good Planes). I was glad that they stuck to their guns over the Martial Controller.

Absolutely love the 4th Edition fluff, I tried to meticulously catalog an index of everything in the forums, but lost it all when they did that switch over to the new format. It was the saddest day of my life. Feywild I love as a name because I think it does a really good job of evoking what...

I always thought of Kensei's as being devoted to one particular weapon. I also wonder how helpful is it to have 3 Kensei weapons. Outside of a ranged and a melee weapon. I could see maybe having a bludgeoning weapon on hand for a skeleton or two . . . but could the Kensei have been built with a...

With regards to the Knight, I agree that the concept is better served by the background. I like Background and Archetype to do 1 thing, so that their combinations give characters more range. This knight archetype seems to be a combination of three things, a mounted warrior, a marker, and a...

I'm curious, I think that poison is one of those perennial themes of Fantasy rogues/bards, but it is almost always clumsily handled in DnD. I personally don't like the "magical" poison of Venomous Blades, and wish that it could instead be some mechanic that represents skill in making poisons...

Hey everyone, I'm running PotA and we've hit 9th level. My sorcerer player is starting to outshine all the other players and I'm wondering if anyone else is coming across this? Right now he has absolutely trivialized combat encounters that according to the DMG formula are supposed to be deadly...

My players are starting to reach the end of PoA and I was wondering about the Nodes. They killed Gar Shatterkeel in the Temple of the Crushing Wave, and they will be possibly slaying another prophet in the Fane of the Eye. Is there a reason for them to visit the nodes of dead prophets? Part of...

Drown is the only one of the weapons listed as a +1, with the others as a +2. Is that a mistake or was it on purpose? Since they only get one of the weapons for awhile (and they went to the Temple of the Crushing Wave first) that is the one they have, and I want the +2 to make it feel...

Ouch I got Str 8 (10 after racial adjustments) Dex 9 Con 15 (17 after racial adjustments) Int 9 Wis 6 Cha 8 Not sure what to make of this thick and resilient person. Too bad there aren't any Battleminds. I think I'll have to go with Barbarian so he can spend his time as just a damage sponge...
