There are no printed 5th edition Eberron books. The only official one is the Wayfarer's Guide to Eberron, which is available as pdf on the dmsguild.com for $20 I think it was. It's all playtest material, and a number of things within that can be found in 3 of the last 4 Unearthed Arcanas for free.

I don't follow Sage Advice. I never have, and doubt I ever will. I do read it from time to time. I don't care what others do for rule interpretations. I don't play nor run Adventurer's League, though if I did I would probably go with whatever Sage Advice says. Though, as shown with Shield Master...

Like I have for the last 20 years: Each missile is a d4. If it applies, your stat modifier applies to each missile. So if you have a 16 in your Int, and can cast Magic Missile dealing 5 missiles? Each missile is 1d4+4 whether they all hit one (5d4+20), each hits a separate creature, or any mix.

I am only able to play online at the moment, so I just use roll20 (gonna be switching to fantasy grounds once I get the money saved up). So everything is rather easy to keep track of. Other than that, I use this computer to keep notes (which I really need to keep up on instead of pulling...

It depends on the campaign pitch. If we are playing a serious game, I don't want a meme character in the party, or us fighting ice cream dinos. Same with the opposite (though regular monsters in a joke campaign isn't as jarring). My world is a bit of a mix. Right now, I am in the middle of a...

Technically, according the WotC, ALL 4th edition books are core. I believe that was one of the things they went for when it came to that edition. I could be wrong, as I was not a fan of that edition in the slightest.

Your experience being mostly from video games while growing up (and making them in the present) makes sense in regards to your desire for adherence to strict rules. Myself, I absolutely love rpg video games (they are my favorite genre), but sometimes the confines of the rules grates on me...

To me, if you take an existing world, use the lore up to a certain point (your starting point), use all the geographical portions of that world, you have a personalized setting. If you use Greyhawk up to the canon lore at the end of 2nd edition, and then create your own lore based on the...

That's pretty much what they do, though they assume you are placing it in FR and include maps for FR, though every adventure anymore has a section on including it into an existing setting and where to put it, or even your very own homebrew setting and a relavent area of it to place the...

All of them. Well, the vast majority anyway. Going through old monster books, adventures, and such of previous editions (including Pathfinder), I get some ideas pop into my head of how to include them in my world. I have been attempting to do such myself, though very slowly, and in bite sizes. I...

I tend to dislike the enemy race "garbage" (in my mind, that's what it is), and threw it out. Similar to Eberron, though it was the same in my 2nd edition short-lived games in an unformed world. Just seems a bit... "racist"... that all the enemy races are primitive tribal rather deformed...

In my homebrew world, I allow all the classes in the PHB except for warlocks. Warlock spell list has been merged into the sorcerer spell list. I don't have any homebrew classes, though I have some homebrew and 3rd party subclasses. I also allow all the PHB races except for humans, half-elves...

I am glad for this news post, as it has saved me the money from buying this. While I admit that these are better than what I could produce, I am still not a fan of the visuals they went with. I prefer the old coloring book they had back in 1979, "The Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring...

Darkwood Core and Heavy Plating give the same AC at level 17 (22), while Composite Plating is the worse option to choose, getting an AC of 21 at level 17. That is, of course, if the Darkwood Core character has a 20 for Dex, which by level 17 probably would. Removing the proficiency bonus, or...

I have luckily never booted a player. However, at one point I basically booted the entire party, which means I cancelled the game. I felt bad, but I felt it was justified. Back in like 2013 I had started up a Pathfinder game of Kingmaker. I figured I could trust the players by not changing...

He even said it was not intended to work that way and would be a DM's call on if it would be allowed in someone's game.

Problem with that is the Tortle has an ability to get an AC of 21 without armor or shield (Shell Defense), whereas the warforged does not. Only other combat ability a warforged gets is Iron Fists (as juggernaut), which is something the tortle has as well (their claws. Both abilities do 1d4). As...

Static AC of 16 is chainmail. Full plate is 18. Full plate +3 is 21. Heavy plated lvl 17 warforged is AC 22. Add on a +3 shield and their ACs go to 26 and 27. This is the warforged as written. A composite plate warforged at 17 will be 21 (13 + 2 Dex + 6 prof), while a human in +3 Half-plate...

I have said similar to posts I have cared to comment on. I got basically yelled at by someone saying a racial feature shouldn't be balanced on the existance of magical armor, let alone legendary (+3) armor, or else a level 17 warforged paladin would have +4 AC more than a human paladin of level...

I agree the bodak in Volo's looks better than the one from 3rd edition MM, but it still looks like crap (to me). That particular art style they used for the Volo's bodak (same as the MM giants, and a number of various other monsters) just looks terrible. It's like they painted with mud. The...
