Been using backgrounds and "trinkets" to justify and develop my characters since I started gaming, It's nice to see it being official or at least being a part of the standard rules. Although luckily I have always had DMs that encouraged and rewarded this style of gameplay, so I am interested in...

I know right!! This is why I feel like a snob, I know better paint jobs can be had on both complete minis and ones I can paint myself. Just wish they put more effort into them, although that would raise the price so.... to each their own I guess.

Anyone else read this in tune with the song: Gotta catch 'em all! Tha-Ma-turge ....Now its stuck in my head.

In such a low point game, I think this might mean more than you think. If both characters go for the 20 INT goal, that means the Elven Wizard will also get a feat to choose from when the Dwarf picks his stat increase to 20. We have no idea how colorful these feats will be as of yet. As always...

I dont know about having subraces, but I would bet on Half-Elves having the CHA bonus, along with Tieflings.

My basis is from story alone. Even the authors have stated they never really take game mechanics into thought when writing novels.

With that I certainly agree, but with a strict comparison, you can see that it does fall behind somewhat, which is what I meant. Taking into account the Elven Wizard also has the improved Dex, which will be helpful against the more damaging spells even if the Dwarven Wizard can take a little...

What was meant was that you will be behind other Wizards who focus on spell casting since your stats are spread more thinly. So the Dwarven "Spell Hammer" (I love this concept and name) will probably lose to the Elven Wizard on simple numbers alone. However in a situation where someone charges...

Depends on your version of "Tradition". Is it tradition to include non LG Paladins in the PHB? No it isn't, is it tradition to Include variants in later splat books that also change the name? Yes it is.

Lets hope it stays that way, save the coup de grace for the narrative where it belongs.

I voted Aragorn, because he shows the most versatility. Rangers are a necessity in that "unknown" situation. With a Ranger on your side here are a lists of things you can almost guarantee: Finding food, not getting lost, a way of helping any sickness if not curing it, some martial prowess, and...

I never thought I would be this snobby, but I'll stick with my resin models that I paint. Im sure they look better in person, but I guess my standards rose since I got into the miniature side of things.

Honestly I think this is the greatest thing about the new 5e. You just proved how some crazy concept will work an work well. No youre not as powerful as the full Fighter or Wizard, but without even multi-classing you are something that has an amazing concept and not THAT gimped in combat.

Then you realized the "Power of the DARK side"!!

Awesome :D

Did they stick with the 28MM scale so they look good with GF9's resin models?

Nothing really, its a pretty good set up. I think Dwarven Wizards and Sorcerers will be a little more common because of this. Although with concentration being like it is, that Warhammer should be more for a backup.

I'm not a fan of this either, but for the first battle in your first dungeons with 2 new characters and its their first game not to mention your first time running this new system.....probably no better time to use it then this.

I remember surprise always being powerful really lol. I normally use surprise actions for monsters as a chance to get into a more favorable position making the battle more difficult without the added chance of straight up cutting PCs down before they can respond.

Forgotten Realms...AGAIN WTF!!!!! /ragequit
