    D&D 5E (2014) Need help maxxing out an Arcane Trickster

    If you decide to multiclass, remember that you need to get to 4th level in one class to get the Stat bonus or feat, so if you are starting at level 5, you might want to be level 4/1, otherwise be ready to wait.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the new ammunition rule screw up dual hand crossbow?

    People didn't argue about this one because hardly anyone used sling to begin with. I always ruled (and played) a free hand was needed for loading and readying a sling as well, so no shield.

    D&D 5E (2014) Shield in one hand, Axe in the other

    There's a feat for this called War Caster. And tough choices are a feature of D&D. Your character shouldn't be able to do and have everything at once. Without decisions to be made, you're just rolling dice.

    D&D 5E (2014) What should the backlash be? Your ideas wanted

    I thought it was supposed to be very difficult to destroy an artifact. Sounds like the artifact acted like a lighning rod for storms in the region. Without the lightning rod, the storms are free to cause more damage in the region. The artifact drew off the power of the storms, giving the storms...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the price for a red dragon's egg?

    Mmmmmm! Spicey hot! Or would you have to eat them raw, because red dragon eggs are resistant to heat and can't be cooked!

    D&D 5E (2014) Current take on GWM/SS

    Actually, the respondents of "other" can't be catagorically listed as on one side of the split or the other. "Other" could mean "There is no problem" or "these feats should give -1+15" or "these feats should give -5/-5 for trying to be so cheesy". We need to look at each response from that group...

    D&D 5E (2014) Current take on GWM/SS

    It's noteworthy that, while this poll has a definite biased assumption that there is somthing wrong with the rules as written, nearly half chose "The problem isn't that bad, leave the feats as-is", which by it's wording still says there is a problem. I can't tell how many of the "Other" votes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does the new ammunition rule screw up dual hand crossbow?

    The rules never said you could reload dual hand crossbows. They never mentioned reloading (and recocking, which is even more time-consuming than just placing a bolt on the string). They only said you could use one in each hand. Some people interpretted this as reuse, other did not, thus the...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the price for a red dragon's egg?

    A Google search turned up an answer from the 3.0 Arms and Equipment Guide, pg 85. Price of a dragon egg starts from 10,000.

    TPK :p Actually I don't recall seeing this in any edition, though I never looked for it.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle travelling and navigation?

    Lots of good stuff here. As to weather, I have picked up a couple of back issues of The Old Farmer's Almanac and choose a part of the country with similar terrain and weather patterns. Then I look at the date in my game and look up the Almanac forecast. As for how dark or bright it is at night...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle travelling and navigation?

    I agree with only part of what you said So far, I fully agree. Not necessarily. Good story elements, either plot related or just some flavor, can also be worthwhile. I strongly disagree with the part I put in bold. Some of us certainly do like some, or even a lot of, flavor added to the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can Dragonborn play a flute?

    Have you ever tried playing a trumpet or trombone through chapped lips? Now imagine through scaled lips.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can Dragonborn play a flute?

    Dragonborn are very good at playing the lute. They don't need picks, thanks to the claws. But they go through strings faster than any RenFaire performer I know!
