Wait, wait, that doesn't bother you? He was nearly dying for 10 full hours, and the next morning he's walking around like nothing at all is wrong?

I think I'd like to see something that affects a stable character that doesn't get attended to slip back into death saving throws at a penalty. It's not a situation that I think would come up frequently. Say a character saves 3 times and stabilizes, but is left behind or his unconscious body...

That seems to be what's going on in general. That's what happened in my case as well. I think my "irregularities" were all because I initially registered for a playtest with an email address that wasn't tied to a WotC forum account. If that bit of info was in the registration information, I...

It was in the interview with WIRED.com. Where Is D&D Headed Next? An Update with Mike Mearls ... And the Public Playtest Begins | GeekDad | Wired.com

Sadly, that won't happen. I think when you get knocked to very low hit points, you are suffering from a debilitating wound or several minor wounds, which adds up to the same thing. And that is why we have magical healers. It's a fundamental difference in preferences, I suppose. I've now seen...

Congratulations! You've just made the case for slow natural healing, with magical expenses to offset the slow rate of the body's ability to fix itself. Seriously, I couldn't have argued the case for core rules with slow natural healing any better than you did right here.

As well it should be left out. If the core books don't scratch the itch properly, why the heck would I shell out more money? On topic - the dailies here don't bother me, because as someone said up-thread, they can be explained away pretty easily, just like advantage gives two dice-pick...

Yes. I don't have a face-to-face group. I do play in an every-other-week game via MapTool, but I think I'm the only one who cares about 5E at all. That leaves PBP as my primary source of gaming. With no local group (and no real time to find one), and a prohibition against online play, and a...

I'm fairly sure people could (and may have done so already), but the OPTA specifically prohibits the distribution of such, so it's not being trafficked the way the Pre-Release 4E rules was built up here in 07/08.

Oh, I know that they aren't actually porn. But they do fill the same sort of niche. It's like introductory vampire porn, at least based on the films. Like Nicholas Sparks meets Bram Stoker in a dark alley, but Sparks then beats the venerable Victorian over the head with the stupid stick. He...

One could say the same thing about Avengers and everything that's been released since, but it's still beating up sales of those other movies. I'm not going to argue taste. I don't personally understand your's, but if you liked it, good for you. I felt like it was disrespectful to the source...

I only read about 20 pages of either, so they seemed equally bad, from an aesthetic point of view. But the audiences for the Twilight movies have been large and rabid (the line was longer when I took my wife to the latest of those than it was when I went to see "The Dark Knight." Yes, yes...

Colossal bone-headed move. It's now going to go head-to-head with Stephanie Meyer's "The Host," and that movie is likely to do "Twilight" gangbusters. And, after the atrocious POS that was the first movie, I had sworn off any sequels, until I read interviews with the new director that trashed...

Thanks. I thought maybe I was just blind or insane.

Where is the +2 for proficiency coming from? I've been looking for that tidbit in both the DM and How-to documents and not seeing it? Is that just an assumption, or is it in a particular section that I just keep missing?

Yeah, especially if you trade up to a bigger weapon that does more damage. You could theoretically hit for more damage than your normal weapon.

True. Far easier than excising Healing Surges from 4E.

That's cool. I'll just repopulate the dungeon with even bigger baddies, or have the remaining dungeon dwellers call reinforcements and mount a counter-assault, etc. That's why the 15-minute adventuring/work day has never really happened for me in practice. In fact, the only place I've ever...

If the long rest = full heal does stick around, that will be the very first thing I houserule.

I just don't understand how the fighter's attack value with the greataxe is being calculated. Why is it twice his strength modifier?
