    D&D 5E (2014) Release date for GF9 5e spell cards?

    We were able to get restocks on all the cards within the past few weeks. We ordered from ACD distributors, but I think Alliance also got them in. I just checked and ACD does have all decks in stock at all 3 warehouses, though the Wisconsin warehouse is low on the Ranger deck.

    D&D 5E (2014) Teleportation circles costs *how* much?!

    The permanent circle is less for teleporting out and more for an easy way to get back home when you are too beat up to travel with your loot.

    D&D 5E (2014) Resilient Feat

    You missed the part where Dausuul said No feat picks is not the same as interesting feat picks.

    D&D 5E (2014) Resilient Feat

    Thus the comments from some of the DMs whose responses included "I allow...", or something similar. Or even those who said "I don't allow...". Most of us know the rule. We also know that as DMs we can interpret the rules, or even change them. Whatever helps us run a better game for our players...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best Languages For Arcane Research?

    Due to their being one of the oldest (if not the oldest) races, I think studying Giant might reveal some of the lost secrets of magic.

    Nothing saying the victim can't try to grab the attacker and hold on.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Murder Hobo is Your Party

    Hmmm. Low level party went out to hunt the wolves that killed a shepherd. They put out bait for the wolves, but 2 characters were badly out of position. One saw a wolf too close to his position and panicked, tried to climb a tree but failed. The wolf killed him, the pack joined in. The rest of...

    D&D 5E (2014) New campaign announcement incoming - Escapist teaser

    And some of the fringe on the swag over her head look like teeth and fangs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Need help subtly letting the player know they've dropped the ball

    Have another prisoner claim to be Leosin. Then on the way back when he finds out where they are headed, he doesn't want to continue (he is wanted).

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e .

    That's funny. There is a Chelmsford in Massachusetts about 30 miles northwest of Boston. But his bio shows he is in Chelmsford, Essex in the UK. I don't agree with the OP's assessment of the Wizard, nor the tone of his post, but don't blame him if you can't use a map. edit: Ninja'd I have been...

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats and Weapons

    OK, so I micromanage this point. I try to set my encounters to challenge the group, everyone in the group. I find it much easier if all of the characters are of comparable abilities and levels. That way a monster isn't a snap for one character and instant death for another. I prefer to balance...

    D&D 5E (2014) Revenant and cross-country

    Just like in Pirates of the Caribbean (number 2 I believe). But then, that would be rough terrain at best, then currents, tides, underwater trenches and mountain ranges would slow progress, if not outright block it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Revenant and cross-country

    PC's normally travel just 8 hours/day. The revenant doesn't rest and can travel 24 hours/day.

    Errata for Monster Manual and DMG Posted

    @Staffan is correct. I am looking at the newest, post-errata DMG and it includes BOTH sentences.

    D&D 5E (2014) To fudge or not to fudge: that is the question

    OK, I answered "No, never." But I need to qualify that. Yes, I fudge when I am doing a demo or otherwise teaching a new player. A new player should not have his first character die, at least not in the first game or two. But in my campaign, I can't fudge, as my die rolls are all in the open...

    D&D 5E (2014) Life Cleric Multiclass armor prof

    I choose to interpret the multiclassing proficiency limitations to only refer to those for the class in general. Anything included in the archetypes is granted. But to hold with what I believe to be RAI, should an archetype include a substitution for one of the proficiencies, you can't...

    But multiclassing into bard DOES give you Light Armor Proficiency.

    D&D 5E (2014) Who are the famous characters of D&D

    So quickly everyone has forgotten Meepo! Unfortunately, most of the Names don't really have Faces, unless tied to a very specific piece of art. Their physical descriptions aren't that distinguishable. Images of Drizz't (or at least one of his many PC clones), Lord Soth, Strahd, Tiamat, Lolth...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you do the Shield Spell from a Scroll?

    I had posted about the new DMG. Here is the section to which you are referring (from page 200 DMG) But taking the scroll out is a separate "interact with object"
