    CONAN LIVES! Info on the new Conan RPG

    I'm actually quite encouraged by the Threat pool and what I'm reading here. Heck, I'd probably buy today if the book was available. Like fjw70, I'd love to hear something about how magic will be handled as well.

    State of the Game

    I’m not sure what you mean when you say, “…where are they on the last book?” Are you asking about Force & Destiny or are you asking about the last (or latest book) for Edge of the Empire? Regardless, Force & Destiny should be out around Gen Con. I know there is a specific time period they had...

    Strengths and Weaknesses of WEG's d6 compared to FFG's new system?

    FFG is crunchy, but only when upgrading characters and stuff. During actual play, it's quite elegant.

    Strengths and Weaknesses of WEG's d6 compared to FFG's new system?

    I don't have enough experience with the WEG system to comment on that (though I did play it back in the day). On the other hand, I'm pretty good with FFG's game, so if you have any specific questions about that I'd be happy to weigh in.

    D&D 5E (2014) Barb vs Fighter vs Monk..vs Paladin!

    The monk's real gifts are (as mentioned above) movement (monks with the Mobile feat are groovy as hell) and their incredible defensive abilities (i.e. deflect missiles, slow fall, evasion, stillness of mind, purity of body, and diamond soul). Bring this evaluation to 7th level and toss in a...

    I'd like to see a video or real world pictures of some of these.

    D&D 5E (2014) How often do you play?

    Weekly, plus a monthly game, with another monthly game starting in April. Life's good.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk with Q-Staff -- why not?

    Unless you've got the Two-Weapon Fighting Fighting Style, you won't be adding your ability modifier to the off-hand attack of the quarterstaff.

    D&D 5E (2014) XLS Encounter Builder

    I tossed together this XLS to determine experience and encounter difficulty while building encounters for 5e. Hopefully somebody else will find it of use. Good gaming!

    D&D 5E (2014) What class is your first 5e character?

    Fiend-pact chainlock in an Al'Qadim-esque homebrew. We're reskinning the familiar into an efreetikin and I'm bound to the Lord of Flame after conning an old wizard out of his magical brass cup. Can't wait!

    Tell your ranger player, "You're welcome" for me. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranger

    Hunter's Mark applies d6 damage on each hit, not just the first hit of the turn. So 7 to that and you're at 42.5 if all 3 attacks hit.

    D&D 5E (2014) Raw ability checks - proficiency or not?

    Good question! I'd probably give the proficiency bonus if the character was proficient in the saving throw (so in your example, I'd give it to Barbarians, Fighters, Monks, and anybody who may have taken the Resilient - Strength feat).

    D&D 5E (2014) Effect of Darkness spell in combat

    Warlock with the Devil's Sight invocation (page 110). Enjoy!

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling rogue sniping from the the second rank

    Not 100% sure I agree (also, not 100% sure I disagree, to be fair). It feels like the advantage gained from attacking while hidden stems from the fact that the target isn't actively defending itself from that attack. If a target creature is aware of an opponent's position, I think they could...

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling rogue sniping from the the second rank

    Hide action? Quick question for those more read up on the basic rules. Can you attempt to hide after you've made your attack? Or does it basically require your "standard" action (I'm not sure what terminology is used to track actions in 5e)?
