    D&D 5E (2014) What to do with players that always roll well

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do with players that always roll well

    It wasn't the buoyancy itself. The buoyancy just allowed me to immediately see that one side was lighter, thus the dice were weighted to favor certain numbers. I did move the dice, and most bobbed back to the same number, or at least edge/point.

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do with players that always roll well

    Most dice actally have a bias to them. Slight imperfections in the molding or polishing processes will result in differing balance or face shapes. These are usually so minor as to be imperceptible without special testing (like the extensive testing done on "Las Vegas" dice). But sometimes a...

    Well don't talk to me about what the average fighter does. The average fighter dies in combat. Ya gotta be better than average, boy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter Weapon Choice

    What is a .2 attack? You just started to swing and he died? And how many people know of the results of this test? Some guy said he read about it on the web. I looked at more than a dozen cobwebs and spider webs, and all I saw were spiders and dead bugs. And I don't take the word of any bugs...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter Weapon Choice

    They also see the width of the blade. A longer blade can make a deeper hole, but a thicker, wider blade can make a bigger hole. Which does more damage? Depends on what you hit and where, even more so how well. And nothing anywhere indicates which blade is sharper, or will keep its effective edge...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter Weapon Choice

    But the weapons don't come with efficiency ratings stickered onto the blades, so how does ones character know that the long thin-bladed rapier does more damage than the short wide-bladed short sword? And remember, all we have to go on is our own experiences, and what anyone else talks about. We...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter Weapon Choice

    A short sword is superior to a rapier in close quarters. A short sword is sturdier than a rapier. The short sword will get hung up in the brush less frequently than a longer weapon. Either short sword or rapier might fit better in a particular person's hand, or feel better balanced in that hand...

    Spellbook Cards

    5 out of 5 rating for Spellbook Cards I have found these cards to be sturdy, nicely laminated, and easy to read. The cards are easy to reference, and the right size to fit in the standard deck boxes and binder pages. And no sleeves are needed. Now that I have the revised cards, I can give them...

    D&D 5E (2014) What I'd Like To See Added to 5E - Weapon Comparison

    I would also like to see more differences between the weapons. What most of the aforementioned systems ignored or did poorly was weapon vs natural armory, which was important since most combats are typically against monsters. But the 1E system was too clunky, and the Conan system makes bigger...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons and the RPG Stigma

    It's been a long time since I encountered any negative reactions (other than edition warring). Years ago, it wasn't that D&D was for nerds, but rather "Isn't that the game that makes people commit suicide?" or else "But that's devil worshipping."
