really? So cantrips are not powerful huh? If you have played 5E which I doubt, you will find the classes and powers in 5E to be pretty high on the power scale. A gibbering Mouther with an AC of 9 is toast in 5E heck my blind senile grand mother could hit a gibbering mouther without breaking a...

No need for the snark, if you find 5E to be awesome and enjoy low magic more power to ya. I just like something a bit less bland and alot more crunchiness.

True as the DM it is my prerogative to scale things up or down. My main problem is 5E lacks that epic feel that 3.x had. Dont get me wrong, I think 5E is ok but I dont think it is the cats meow of all the D&D systems. Well at least it is not as horrible as 4E was so I can tolerate and deal with...

I dunno, +1 armor or +2 sword sure would not feel epic to me as a player, It feel more like I was playing a watered down version of 3.5. But as a DM I can always make it the game how I wish it to be. So if I want AC 38 dragons, or +5 holy avengers, then I will add them as I see fit. Personally...

Hmmmmm, seems kinda boring with a serious lack of that epic feel when at 20th level your running around with only a +2 magical sword and battling ancient dragons with AC 22. Progression seems to be the same for a fighter as with a monk IE everybodies proficiency level is the same. In 3.5 the...

Howdy- Ok maybe I might be missing something here but looking over the MM monsters, they seem awfully weak compared to what they have to face vs the classes of the PHB. For example, in ver 3.5 the gibbering Mouther had an AC of 19, in 5E its AC is now 9. An Ancient Blue Dragon in 3.5 has an AC...

Lets keep in mind that WotC was not deep into 3.0 as it was for 3.5. There were a few soft bound splat books and adventures for 3.0 but nothing comparable to 3.5's amount of books. So I dont think there was "d20" crash, how could there be when third party publishers began cranking out 3.5...

I have had no problem running 5E the last couple of months, WoTC provided pdf's of some common monsters, HotDQ can be run with out the DMG or MM also. Heck, will I really need the 5E DMG? I have my 1E and 3.5 DMG and I really dont need a bunch chapters telling me how to run a game, what type of...

Unsuccessful? I have no info on market share or some such stuff but Pathfinder seems to be doing very well, so well, WoTC decided to come out with another edition. Where I play, everybody likes 3.5/ pathfinder just about. Personally I am running a 5E game but I think my players would prefer 3.5...

Ok, my question is, with 3,5 being so successful, why did WoTC put out a completely different version of D&D in the form of 4E? Why did 4E tank? Was it because it had almost nothing in common with previous editions?

Howdy- Was thinking, what would be every bodies dream campaign, you know, the campaign that deep down you would long to either run or play in but know that it will probably never happen. My dream campaign I would like to run, well there are actually two, so here is my first one: A Breaking Bad...

Howdy- I think in the hands of a good DM, the medicine skill can be used for not just determining wound severity but for many things, say one of the players is in wilderness and gets poisoned, use the medicine skill to find the proper herbs and make an antidote. Medicine skill can also be used...

Of course you could use your imagination and come up with what you think is best. It is a game of imagination after all................aint it? Anywhoo, the MM should be out by months end, so converting anything might be an exercise in killing time I would think.

Hi- Whats the pre release date and the street date? IE if I pre order from my local game shop will I get it earlier? Scott

Did someone say...................... Thunderfury: Blessed blade of the Windseeker? Ya I'm trying to be funny...................

Totally agree here. Scott

Is their an After Action Reports section here, I looked and could not find one. Maybe the forum owner could add a 5E AAR section and DM's and players can give their reports on their current games. Anywhoo, Great AAR on your experience with HotDQ. Scott

I stopped playing back in 2007, then when I heard WoTC was coming out with a new edition, at first I was skeptical, then I looked at the new version and it looked like a version of D&D that I could recognize and want to play. Granted there a few things I dont like, but those things can be easily...

Hi ya- So who is playing 5E? What campaigns are you using? What adventures are you playing in or DM'ing? What kind of party's are ya running? Are you having Fun? Any house rules you are using? Me, I am DM'ing a group of 5 individuals on Sunday afternoons. The party consists of two clerics, One...

My gawd, its Ming the Merciless :p
