    D&D 5E (2014) The Legacy of the Fighter in 5 to 10 years

    IMO what the identity of the Fighter has traditionally (i.e. - not just 5E but through the history of D&D) been is sheer training/skill + mastery of all armor and weapons. Barbarians are raw power and primal fury (I kind of see the Barbarian/Fighter distinction as like Sorcerer/Wizard -...

    AD&D 1E AD&D 1E Players Handbook In PDF

    I hope they really do release everything eventually. I'd really like some of the obscure stuff like the BECMI Immortals stuff (I have the hard-copy, but not the IM1-IM3 modules or Wrath of the Immortals)...

    5E musings

    Nah... it needs to be built 'from scratch' anyway since Ascension is built on top of the ELH and there's no prospect of anything like that for 5E. And I doubt I would sell it, though it depends on how the 5E licensing situation evolves. [I might want to convert a few of the Epic Bestiary...

    5E musings

    5E. Yes, I was just trying to re-align them according to the 5E domains.

    5E musings

    I agree, don't know why WotC decided to do it that way. but I'm not making the decisions there... Ah OK. I'm playing in a 5E game right now and it's great... probably closer to my (personal) ideal of D&D than any other edition ('classic' - B/X, BECMI - D&D probably competes but I haven't...

    5E musings

    I wonder if the abominations could all be crammed into the 21-30 CR range (as extra difficult opponents for high end characters without actual 'epic' levels)? I think you could match them to the 5E cleric domains for gods... Death = Atropal Knowledge = Dream Larva or Anaxim Life = ??? Tarrasque...

    5E musings

    Sounds cool but I think that could actually be compressed somewhat. Personally I think the Underdark should be more a ~L8-L15 thing with the major planar stuff (raiding the Abyss/Hells etc) coming in a bit later maybe ~13-20. It was part of a full level 1-20 adventure path (in two books) as I...

    Current status?

    If it would only be a one month gap then yes that makes sense. Definitely, I was just thinking this is a bit different case since it isn't 'primarily' an adventure.

    5E musings

    Oh, definitely, I think. Half of the problem IMO with 3E epic (the other half being the math issues) was that it didn't have a clear 'place'/'role'- later 3E products started setting up the same kinds of stories with non-epic rules -- thus the Elder Evils and the archfiends are all within reach...

    Current status?

    Well are the maps really needed for the PF version? 4E is more dependent on stuff like that, and after all the 4E version is already on sale without them. And something being 'out there' for PF would probably get noticed by people who'd never heard of your other stuff...

    5E musings

    I think that 5E should go straight into Immortality after 20th level with no intervening "epic". The "Tiers of Play" section of chapter 1 of the Player's Handbook says that characters at levels 1-4 deal with threats to "local farmsteads and villages", 5-10 deal with threats to "cities and...

    What is left on the Pathfinder conversion? Did I ever send you the rest of the animals (piranha swarm, fire ant swarm, bullet ant swarm)? I don't think so...

    So what kind of timeline do you think we are looking at for the Pathfinder version of Vampire Bestiary 1? (And Bestiary 2 - and is that still the one with the Vampire Intelligence in it?)

    So these will be 4th edition still?

    That's awful :( After that is there still a possibility of the Pathfinder Vampire Bestiary? Most of the monsters are already converted...

    [LPF] Lost Imperium

    Garadh While Garadh sympathizes with Mirra's anger at the custom, he sees no purpose in refusing the royal hospitality and gratitude. He accepts the king's gifts gladly and takes part eagerly in the festivities, also thankful for his narrow escape from death from his wounds. Afterwards, he...
