Really. When was the last time someone here actually thought about a subject, took feedback, and admitted fault. I applaud you, Sir or Madam. Welcome to the club. Here is your Skill die. (You may need to give that back in a few weeks, though)

I have a brand new D&D group I'm DMing. As in the players know very little about D&D and any lore. My question for the community is... What is the mostest bestest solo monster for them to encounter? Troll? Rust Monster? Very small Dragon? Kruthick? Owlbear? Treant? Medusa? Any ideas? I want to...

Didn't occur to me to put skin colour down, but you can add that if it makes the sheet better. More is greater than less.

1. History. 2. Kamikaze has it right. By putting those on a sheet, it says, these are important. By omitting them, they are extra. I want my D&D to say details are important. 3. D&D is a Role-Playing Game. And details help novices and veterans alike to Roleplay. By adding them on the sheet, you...

I am shocked and yet not surprised that this question is asked in this day and age. Out of all things talked about with D&D Next, not including some spaces for biography and appearance would be a Non-starter for me.

I'm sorry we disagree, Kamikaze Midget. Enjoy your game.

It's all arbitrary. It's a game that someone made up. When someone can actually wear magic rings, then they can tell us how many rings is the correct number. But until then, the game designers have to pick a number. And at this time, the number is 3. If playtesting shows the number is better set...

I see the 10 minute attunement of use in the Organized Play. It keeps a player from swapping out 10 different magic items in a given combat. For home games, as people have mentioned DMs can hand wave, or fast-forward, or make it a quest and several game sessions just to attune an item. But there...

My understanding is that you get +1 to one skill at level 2. That's the only option. Jack of all trades is a Feat you can take to gain a new skill. And at this time, the only way to get a new skill after character creation.

He did play the character with the least amount of playtesting behind it. I would suggest to the author to playtest the fighter and see how that goes since we know it's been worked and reworked. (But also good to know the Sorcerer seems overpowered as well) Also, the sorcerer is given a...

Raise Monster attacks. Don't lower PC attacks. If PCs have lower attack bonuses they hit less and combats take longer. Better Attack Bonuses will move combat along and make combats scarier. I think +2 to all monsters sounds solid at this time.

Only certain spells add ability mod and it's specifically stated in the spell. Nice write-up. Though I disagree at the "Cracks in One Reaction per Turn". I think it is a benefit. If you use your shield to block in 6 seconds you are not prepared to also attack in that 6 seconds. I concur with...

I think I would rather see it as 2d8.

This won't be the last survey before release. So don't stress too much about it. As for how many rests, specifically, I think they want a more general idea. If you don't know exactly, tell them how you felt about the number of rests. "My group had to take a lot of rests." "My group went through...

Or maybe, they haven't put much effort into the encounters because that's not where their focus is yet since they are willing to take 2 years to get this edition done right.

Wow. I got quoted a bunch. What I meant was keeping pre-req. is a good thing, because, to me, it adds flavor. A Dwarf Fighter with no spell casting shouldn't be a necromancer, in my opinion. An Elf fighter (who meets the pre-req.) sounds fine, to me. When I said Fighter, I meant...

I wanted to comment on a few things since I was there and I was able to talk with Mike Mearls at GenCon a few times. He's a swell gamer geek for those wondering. Teleprompters - They were used but not for the speech. They had a "phrase" to cue the effects guys to change the slide and lights and...

I like this alot.

Maybe his shield only takes 3 fingers and a thumb to hold?

So Rogues automatically succeed at Hard Tasks they are skilled in, right? Skill Mastery (10) + Skill Mastery or Ability (+3 or more) + Skill (+3) = 16+ Is this correct? How do you feel about it? Would setting a Hard DC to 17 be better?
