Well, they had slower release frequencies if you only count system-focused products. But they produced a lot of adventure material (modules, and some campaign setting items). There weren't many 1e products that expanded the game system (Unearthed Arcana, the Survival Guides, Oriental...

Well, there was the comment from WotC's announcement about the cancellation of DungeonScape: I think we also heard from other venues that they're looking into alternatives, but it's going to take them a while to turn things around.

The Infuse Potions ability of the artificer seems like fun. However... I don't have my DMG with me, so can someone confirm if a potion of superior healing provides 8d4+8 (avg. 28) hit points of healing? If so, a 5th-level artificer starts to become a very powerful healing resource (considering...

I did the same as you, and mentally inserted a "not" before "preclude" when I read Jeremy's response, which confused me about the OP's question. But I think Shadowdweller00 is right, according to RAW. The OA as you move away is still on your turn, as would be your reaction to cast shield. Since...

Agreed, I just noticed this the other day, and it is awkward. I intend to be more relaxed about it. My group is generally in the habit of announcing the modified roll; I don't see a problem with letting the declaration of use come after that, even if it's a little better than what RAW says. The...

No one has claimed that invisibility works against blindsight. We can dispense with that strawman. And plenty of people have given examples where they would impose a Perception check on a creature with blindsight.

Do you have a source for that statistic, perhaps from a broad survey of DMs?

In lieu of getting into a point-by-point discussion about it, I'll just say that I don't view the rule as absolutely as you do.

By being very quiet? The skill is called Stealth, after all, not Hide in Shadows. The rule for blindsight, which you quoted, doesn't say anything about perceiving "as though seeing", or "like sight", or "as well as sight". It just says the creature perceives "without relying on sight". In many...

By the book, a young white dragon isn't a legendary creature, and an adult is a Challenge 13 creature. Did your group of 8th-level PCs take on an adult white dragon in its lair? If so, they should rightly have been turned into bloody smears on its ice-cavern floor, or have been added to its...

I enjoyed the recap and your observations. Thanks! BTW, what kind of dragon was it? I don't understand this, though. The rogue could just stand back and make ranged attacks with sneak attack damage (+4d6 at 8th level) every round. Stealth would be nice for the advantage, but not necessary. It...

That's not how it works. XP requirements are based on character level, not class level.

I've played this combination for a while, and while it's cool for visual effect to play an armored melee fighter with (nearly) full spellcasting, it isn't all that. MAD is a problem; you need Strength (or Dexterity) and Intelligence, possibly a good Wisdom depending on which cleric spells you...

I'm coming around to this second interpretation, which makes the wording clear. The extra 3 days is meant as a disincentive, a punishment if you will, for skipping out on your downtime obligations. After all, if you're not putting the time in to get downtime benefits, then you're bypassing the...

How many times can I laugh at a single post? :p

If that's how it's supposed to work, then an easier way to calculate the construction time would be: Quadruple all the construction times. Every day the PC is present counts as four days of construction work.

Actually, this is the clearest demonstration of bounded accuracy we've ever seen. Save DCs and attack bonuses don't scale with level... much (theoretically), while damage and hit points do.

Agreed!

Ooh, that sounds like fun!

In the last game I played, two 1st-level PCs faced one ghoul (the party was split, and the rest were elsewhere fighting zombies), and I can tell you we were pretty damn worried when one of the PCs was paralyzed right off, and it only got worse when he failed his first save. That ghoul could've...
