    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think of the 5e Energy Drain mechanic?

    I don't like it. Too easily fixed. Make it removable only by a wish and they might have something. Otherwise it's a minor inconvenience.

    help with CR of a trap and was it fair?

    It doesn't matter. Traps are not meant to be fair. They are meant to kill, capture, or hinder.

    multiple attacks ?

    This means the monk in your example would get 2 attacks in round one, and 1 attack in rounds 2 through 4. The "end of round sequence simply means everyone takes their attack in initiative order. After that, secondary attacks go, also in order of initiative. That said, I always treated a monks...

    Planescape: Torment Sequel - Set in Monte Cook's Numenera

    I would love to see a true turn based version of the IE games. I liked the BG series in spite of the rtwp, not because of it.

    Planescape: Torment Sequel - Set in Monte Cook's Numenera

    Me. I have tried several times to get through PST and always failed. Never got very far after leaving the mausoleum before losing interest. It's odd, too, because I have played through the BG series at least once a year since release, and I even replay IWD once in a while, but I cannot for...

    I think you're on the right track, The world ended long ago.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bring Back Gnomes!

    1E gnomes were definitely NOT a joke race. They were forest creatures with a love for animals and an innate knack for illusions. One of my favorite races until 2e and later editions made them a joke.

    Netflix or Redbox?

    There is a 3rd option: Hulu Plus. Hulu offers less movies, but more television shows. You can get entire seasons on Hulu. I'm a cheap bastard, so I use the free version of Hulu. SG1 and Stargate Atlantis were both available free, not sure if they still are.

    D&D 5E (2014) Whats so hard about character creation?

    Lol. Are you hit capped? Expertise? Crit capped? what's your mitigation? WoW simple? Yeah, so is string theory, I suppose. But I digress. I want a simple core game, with supplements to make it as complicated as I desire.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dear WotC: An Idea On How To Make Next a Success - Bring Back The Stories!

    Marionnen's Musings: Touch AC and Why it's Irrelevant

    Touch attacks, outside of shocking grasp and the like, never made much sense to me. You're trying to touch the person inside the armor, not the armor, so your entire ac should count.

    Fighter, Rogue, Blaster, Healer . . . Balanced?

    Because, sans your most important stat, most characters look exactly the same. A 28 point buy melee fighter will generally look like: S16 D14 C15 I10 W10 Ch8 Sure, the odd player will throw a higher int or charisma in there, but generally speaking, most melee fighters will look something...

    Fighter, Rogue, Blaster, Healer . . . Balanced?

    Yes. In fact, I won't play in a non convention/tournament game that involves point buy. I do not like being Harrison Bergeroned.
