They probably just forgot to include that "you stop regenerating at 0 HP" clause.

You could, if you wanted. What is Athas? I don't really know much about Dark Sun. EDIT: Oh, that's just the name of the world in Dark Sun. Like Khorvair in Ebberon.

As far as I can tell, it is just one of several flavor options. It was just mentioned first. Mystics get their power from their awakening, which gives them a different perspective on the world. Like a 3-D creature in a 2-D universe. One way to gain this perspective is exposure to the...

I was worried at first when they started talking about psionics being related to the Far Realm, but it ended up coming pretty close to what I wanted. The Far Realm itself is not the source of the abilities; it's just so alien that exposure to it can give you a sudden awakening to other means of...

It's like I said, I'm keeping the prices as close to the DMG suggestions as possible for now, including the weird change in price from Common to Uncommon. Once I've given these prices a chance, I'll play around with other values and see what happens. Yours look pretty good, how did you come up...

I'm pretty familiar with D&D spells, so estimating an item's rarety based on what spells it resembles works well for me.

For a while, the "Why does 5e SUCK!?!?!" thread was actually just people talking about different aspects of the game in a friendly manner. I'm not sure if it stayed that way, but one thing I got out of it was finally getting a chance to share my ideas on pricing magic items. I'll move it here...

Oh, maybe something like what they did to make a spell-less ranger would work? I wonder if the battlemaster could also be warlordified in this way. As I understand it, the main problem was just that there wasn't enough focus on combat maneuvers, and running out of shouting felt weird. Maybe if...

I understand why people don't feel the battlemaster is a sufficient warlord, but how is avenger not covered by the paladin subclass? Aren't they just really angry paladins? The one I'm playing right now feels fine.

Fralex's Campaign Journal: Princes of the Apocalypse - Session 4 added Session 4 A new player, Ilikan the goliath paladin, joined us this session. He wasn't there the following session, so I don't know if he'll be a regular addition or not. Part 1: In Which I Swear an Oath Before Unicornelius...

I've started doing this weird thing where I take a tiny strip of paper I divided into sixths to represent 30 feet, I draw an environment on a sheet of paper without a grid, then I draw circles containing letters to represent each creature. Whenever a creature moves, I draw a line from its circle...

I don't know how to express anger. I gave my latest character (the frying pan paladin from the campaign journal I'm keeping) the trait "I blow up at the slightest insult" thinking it would be fun, but when I actually saw opportunities to get offended I just sat there, unsure what to say. I don't...

Vicious mockery is one of the best powers they could've ported from 4e to 5e (that is where it originated, right? Bard at-will?). It was always such fun to use.

Thank you! I've noticed a lot of recaps seem to be told from the perspective of the DM, which is still enjoyable, but I personally find it more engaging to hear it from a player's perspective. The first campaign journal I read, by SilverClawShift, was done in that format. It made it feel more...

Fralex's Campaign Journal: Princes of the Apocalypse - Session 3 added Session 3 Sorry this one is late, I had a busy week. It was really good, though! I hope you enjoy it. Interim: In Which I Get a Solid Handle on the Other Characters So I have a much better idea of who's who now. Here's what...

I've always seen the schools of magic as an in-world attempt to classify spells. It's only fitting that there would be some weirdness and dissagreement. Like, necromancy is just a combination of divination, evocation, transmutation, and conjuration. But nobody wanted all that "evil" sounding...

Xanthian? Does that mean really wordy or something? I tried to look it up and got a Wikipedia article about obelisks. And thank you! I wasn't sure whether to continue with these or not because I had no idea whether anyone was actually reading them.

Oh, OK. Sorry, I don't know much about Dragonlance. How do divine spellcasters work there? Or are there none?

Fralex's Campaign Journal: PotA Session 2 Added Session 2 I haven't decided whether or not to keep the spoilers, but for now I'll leave them as-is. When I have the spare time I'll try going back and changing them. Part 1: In Which We Just Sort of Make Things Up As We Go So we had convinced...

Hmm. Does turning off Javascript make it impossible to read what they contain? I wonder if there's some other way I can break the sections apart...
