    D&D 5E (2014) Investigation vs Perception

    Perception is constantly used, which I think is why there is a passive perception state. Investigation has to be applied. It is also a skill that allows for character capability without actually having to role play the thought process (I would not expect a player to conduct Sherlock Holmes...

    D&D 5E (2014) What settings would you like to see in 5e?

    WOW! Thanks for pointing that out. I clearly had blinders on for anything not D&D. I'll have to check out the GURPS system after all. (I have unfairly avoided it for years).

    D&D 5E (2014) What settings would you like to see in 5e?

    It will never happen, and I could not run it very well, but I would love to be a player in a setting based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

    D&D 5E (2014) Help me pick a single spell for an NPC

    How about Sanctuary? When an opponent attacks, a failed save is akin to suddenly "forgotten" in the fight and another target is selected. While the god claims this is divine protection, the actual nature is more akin to its forgotten status and the protected target is more forgotten than...

    Psionic Power Cards

    I am working on a template for psionic discipline power cards much like my template for the spell cards or the old 4 edition power cards. I am using the Unearthed Arcana material on psionics and the Mystic as reference material to support. Attached is a sneak peak on the work I have completed...

    Benefits of playing D&D

    Funny you should say that. My wife's comment about my hobby is that it wasn't drinking, gambling, or carousing. Sent via magic sending while journeying on a quest.

    A Look At EN World's Stats & Demographics

    This is nice information and all, @Morrus, but what will you do with it? How does it affect how you run and manage the site?

    D&D 5E (2014) Spells cast at higher level slots

    Page 201 of the PHB answers this question. You can use a higher level spell slot to cast a spell. But only spells with enhanced effects at higher levels will have a larger effect. So could you cast Alarm (1st level) as a 4th level spell. Yes, you spend the 4th level spell slot, but it will...

    How did you find ENWorld?

    While looking for a way to better manage the class powers in D&D 4e, I found through a google search this thread. Which got me started working in the Magic Set Editor. While the thread appears to be long dead, and D&D is not in the 5th edition, I still use the software and post updated material...

    D&D 5E (2014) How much Forgotten Realms have you used in your games?

    I used Forgotten Realms as a setting mostly since 2001. But I have not really adhered to the canon, only using it as a starting point, stage setter, and maps. In the past I have used: The Dalelands The Great Rift The Dragon Coast (Gulthmere Forest mostly) The High Forest/The River Delimbiyr...

    D&D 5E (2014) Twist. Just DM enjoyment or OK for Players?

    My thoughts here regard the balancing between achieving a "twist" the players will enjoy and the betrayal they might feel by the DM. This can only be a judgement call by you with your understanding of your group. I think the idea is pretty solid as you have laid it out so far. My group is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell Cards for D&D 5E using Magic Set Editor (MSE)

    The Horizontal template can support class abilities. If you switch to the style tab, you can deselect the "spellcard" option and it will pretty much give you a blank card to use. The "Cunning Action" sample card in the OP is an example of this feature. I tend to use a common background by...

    These files are written for MSE 2. Each zip file will need to be extracted separately as its own folder in the data folder of MSE. Ensure that you have also extracted the .game file as well as the symbols/font file. Without the .game file, none of the templates will be visible. I often...
