Just to be a pedantic completionist, 4e has a Ranger build that gains a daily spell at 2nd level, and keeps gaining more magic as it levels. It's the Essentials build.

Fighting doesn't really work like that either... :) Just wrestle the guy to the ground every time he wants to use a power. When he doesn't stand back up, his character needs an extended rest.

1981 or so, the Waldenbooks in the Columbia Mall (Columbia, Missouri) was about a half-hour walk away from home.

Give the fighter a number of Fatigue Slots equal to the number of things he can do that require a short rest to recharge. Then let him fill those slots with the various maneuvers he can do, just like Spell Slots, until he's too tired and needs to sit down. You could even mess with the math if...

er, sorry, yeah... I posted right after you, but my comment was for the OP.

I think you and I have a similar style. I love to have a story ready to tell, and I really want my players and their characters to experience it. The trick is to make it seem like it happened organically and was all their idea in the first place. With my players, I've pretty much accepted that...

yeah, no problem. All he has to do is reduce his hit dice to d6s, lose all his armor proficiencies, lose half his weapon proficiencies, and give up the ability to heal, and then he can have that extra spell a day.

We were playing 4e, though, so I don't have the answers to your mechanics question, but I'll translate as best as I can. 1 through 6 all looks roughly right to me. 7. I figured the speed of the train could overcome the barrier at the end of the line and conveniently jump up onto the platform...

yeah... it's a close blast 3 close: it starts touching the caster blast: it emanates in one direction (and then fills out to make a square in that direction) 3: for 3 squares If it were a burst, it would emanate in all directions (making a 7x7 square donut around the caster) I absolutely...

Actually, a 15' cube that you are touching at one side is exactly the same as 4e, FWIW.

As previously mentioned, it's the action economy. With a hand crossbow, you're free to wander the battlefield, shooting some people and stabbing others, with nary a care in the world. With a light crossbow, unless you want to waste your action putting your sword away when a ranged target...

Mine as well. It's why I never bought the 4e equivalent, but instead got a DDI subscription. If Morningstar will print a spellbook for you, these will be obsolete as soon as the first "Living Rules Update" hits.

I see the back of the box is hanging onto Gary Gygax's spelling of "Sorceror," which poisoned my own spelling for years.

There's an angry Spaniard looking for you.

A 5e OGL

that's clearly not the case: Basic Rules, page 46 (Improvised Weapons) "At the DM's Option, a character proficient with a weapon can use a similar object as if it were that weapon and use his or her proficiency bonus." Unless you're proficient with Chair or Lamp, you might want this feat...

I can think of plenty of advantages of not using a weapon, including, say, a tavern where you're just trying to rough up a guy and drag him outside for questioning, not pulling out a sword in the middle of a bar and convincing everyone in the room that you're a murderer, unnecessarily escalating...

thank you. :) Is it too late to revise my proofreading? :)
