oh thank you :)

If someone is in mellee can take the 5ft' movement moving outside the threaten area of his enemy and then make a range attack or cast a spell without getting an attack of opportunity? Thank you ps. I used to know the answer but all is confused in my mind right now after all these back and...

I know called shots are not for everyone, so the things that i say suits primary my gaming needs. I loved called shots back then at 2nd edition era along with the optional critical hits tables. Although i like a fast paced combat i would sacrifice a bit of speed to get my game more gritty. So...

I voted for yes... don't know if it is nostalgia or something else, but i remember very fondly the speed factor of the weapons and the spells with the every round roll for iniative system of 2nd edition.

Maybe if I eliminate attack cantrips and give an extra 1st lvl slot? I think i like this kind of approach. Thank btw :)

Well, maybe this would be the case if you see it from the players point of view, but I am talking about how this feature maybe disrupts a certain kind of playstyle (the low magic one). It has to do with the kind of atmosphere of the setting that the dm wants to built. What I was thinking was...

Thank you all for your input. First, I want to clarify that I don't have any problem with the cantrips as it is, with the difference this feature does not fit to the game that I am preparing when 5e will come out. As I said i built a dangerous gritty world where magic is not common, but when...

I am one of those that wish to play a kind of game where the casters don't throw each round shocking graps and rays of frost in order to be competitive in combat. The problem is WotC seems to hard rule this feature, making thus the spellcasters to rely on the dmg cantrips. As I remember dmg...

Although I don't disagree with you, I consider that Wizards value more the opinion of their existing players (the faithful ones and those whose abandon dnd) than the potentional new ones. I don't have clues of course to back it but it is my feeling that "the edition which unites all dnd players...

It isn't about what new players think. It is about what the old players think. The new players can't judge if something is more or less complex than something else because they don't have the experience. The old ones are the ones that have fed up with the fiddliness and complexity of 4th and...

I vote for both the Saltmarsh and Freeport adventures. The first is based on a rural-backdrop village while Freeport is a trade bustling city. I have played both and went really well.

At last some solid info about DNDNext after sometime. The first Q&A of the year is about modules and magic items. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/dndqa/20140110 In one sentence: Q1: The Standard game features (feats, multiclassing, etc) that will be made into modules will be...

What Derren says and I would add guideliness on how to create your own adventures (like the 5 Act structure) and your own adventure/campaign paths (like the wonderful input Chris Perkins shared with us in his column).

Both would be great! I would add puzzles! I know that isn't necessery but a couple of sample puzzles/riddles for the dungeons or any other circumstances would be great addition.

The title says it all. The biggest innovation of the 4th edition DM's guide was the famous page 42, information that proved extremely useful for all DM's when we built encounters. However what are the things that missed from all DM's guide and you would to be inside? Although the question is a...

This has nothing to do with staying unemployed in the end of the year.

I predict the holy trinity but i think another format will be better - a combination of the three choices of the poll. My prefered solution would be a box set for the beginners, a nice big book which is the combination of PH and DMG and another big nice book that would serve as MM.

Thanks for the reply, however i am not sure if "words of power" fits to what i have in mind. Doesn't the Pathfinder released couple of years before a book which had different spell casting systems or I am wrong? I can't remember the name to search for it.

Hello, I want to make a rune magic systme for my viking like culture in my dnd campaign. Does anyone know if pathfinder, wizards or a 3rd party produce a system like that? Thank you :)

I don't know how to react to this compromising approach since I really dislike the way 4e classes were presented. In any way I hope in the end there will be the amount of freedom in order one will be able to create the character that he or she envision. The most promising aspect of the article...
