    D&D 5E (2014) Iconic low level monsters

    D&D 5E (2014) Tyranny of Dragons 5E DM Screen

    I usually use a DM screen, and even though I already own the screens that came in Murder in Baldur's Gate and Legacy of the Crystal Shard I too am anxiously waiting for the new WotC screen. I think it will be (for me) the most useful screen since 1E.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tyranny of Dragons 5E DM Screen

    This is not the DM screen that Chris Perkins had at GameHoleCon. The WotC screen had Conditions, Skill-check DCs, random NPC Name Generation, NPC Traits and FLaws and such, and a few other tables to help a DM wing it. The WotC screen is supposed to release in early January.

    No, that would be for a STR or DEX save.

    D&D 5E (2014) Create or Destroy Water spell ruling

    However, I would rule that if you cut off the head, split the skull open, scooped out the brains, replaced them with water, then cast destroy water, that might kill your victim. But I would allow a CON save.

    D&D 5E (2014) If you aren't buying magic items, where will you spend your gold?

    I have long used "hack silver" in my campaign. Cuts down on need for pockets.

    D&D 5E (2014) If you aren't buying magic items, where will you spend your gold?

    Perhaps I'll bring back training to make level, like in 1E. That always used up the excess cash, plus explained how you learned the new stuff.

    D&D 5E (2014) It's October 1. Do you known where your spell cards are?

    I notice the cards are organized by level, then alphabetically. It is handy that the card backs for each class are different. edit: I deleted my comment about no notation for rituals. They are marked for rituals.
