    Cauldron Born Task Force Token Stacking?

    During the Task Force missions, the RHC accumulates Task Force Tokens, which can be used for a +2 bonus to skill checks during a Task Force mission. Is it intended that these can be piled onto a single skill check, or can only one be used per check? (4e RAW: You can only receive a bonus or...

    Are we not going to talk about Charger? All the hubbub a few weeks ago over the Charge action being taken away, and now they float a feat called "Charger" and everyone is swooning because they can be an Actor? Wake up ENWorld! You can run at orcs and smash in their heads again! Waaagh! (When I...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Magic

    But, in a world where Magic Missile could damage you 3-11 times in one casting, and Guiding Bolt is just going to (maybe) hit you once for a lot, are you sure you want to remove yet another feature that differentiates them? I submit that Magic Missile is designed as a fantastic counter to...

    You're only allowed one Head-slot item at a time, so she'll have to unequip the pin to equip the helmet.

    D&D 5E (2014) No DDI for 5e??

    As I still have about two years to go with my 4e Zeitgeist campaign, that's good news because it means they won't be in a rush to push 4e stuff aside to make room in DDI databases for 5e stuff.

    Magic Weapon also scales with every other level. How could someone typo "every two" in place of "each"? That's a serious slip of the finger...

    The rules simply tell you how the magic works. You are not required to cast your spells in the most efficient manner. Casting it at 5th, 7th, and 9th would also be "pointless." Unless you were out of 2nd, 4th, 6th or 8th-level slots for the day and really needed a Spiritual Weapon.

    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    Limping into Drakr The train got underway again after the attack. Malia and some of the other guards did a quick check of the cargo and said nothing obvious had been stolen by the bandits; “TitanFist” and “Mister Mapple” had scared them off. However, some twenty third-class passengers had...

    The Day Hiram McDaniels Ate a Train The train left that morning and train guard Malia organized another safari. In the middle of this event, the train made a sudden stop; a barricade had been put across the tracks. Just as the engineers were unloading track-clearing supplies, the bandits...

    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    Rolling Rogues Gallery There was a strange event at the Danoran fort bordering the Malice Lands. An exuberant band played as a squad of Danoran troops got off the train. It seemed the environment itself was affected by the moods of the people. Cazara was suspicious of the well-dressed Risuri...

    Railroad map tiles?

    As I prepare to draw my third train-station map for the Zeitgeist campaign, I am dreading those edge-to-edge intricate railroad tracks that I will be drawing. Are there any railroad-track "dungeon" tiles out there? Might it be a fancy Zeitgeist addon for the future? I guess I could print some...

    D&D 5E (2014) Criticizing the new edition of D&D (because I like it a lot)

    A few counterpoints: If you want protection, use a device specifically made for protection. A shield covers a lot more area than a greataxe or a dagger. Since Banded Armor is a complete fabrication and never actually existed, I think it's good that it's gone. I like that once you have one...
