I just hope that folks that don't play this and think it's anything like 5e. Vorpal Magic Missiles, non concentration mechanic, no wizard sub-classes, no skills short of stealth, open locks and search, and the list of abominations goes on and on. I'm convinced they didn't have anything more than...

Maybe they're not through with it yet? They might add to it later, if everyone chimes in what they would like more detail with, etc. Maybe examples of using the guide on a few conversions might help. Further, I think everyone who says that the document is unneeded and the conversions too easy to...

I'd try to find a DM that's more reasonable. It makes little sense that all skills can used without training. Some skills, sure. All skills, definitely not. The DM should consider the character backstory and what not though, maybe there is something there that would allow them to make an...

I'm surprised they didn't change the cover art from the first release of news on the book.

I haven't cast it since the public play test, it wasn't a concentration spell at that time.

Some things not already mentioned: 1. Deal with cantrips. 2. Arcane/Divine divide among spells. 3. No casting in armor for Arcane casters. 4. Possibly deal with Ritual Casting. 5. Throw out the concentration mechanic.

Divinity is turn based, and SCL is every bit an action rpg. I imagine their gameplay will be radically different. I suppose if you want a crpg with the D&D logo, you might prefer SCL. However, as far as 5e D&D, SCL isn't even close, check out the character creation. Most skills and sub-classes...

Yes, but I've only heard it pronounced as 'JOO-blex' in practice.

I kind of liked the way she looked in the TOEE video game the best.

They should teach me to re-read the spell description before replying.

Sadly, those skeletons don't even have resistance to necrotic damage. Of the undead that a wizard can summon, only the Ghasts and Wights have resistance (Create Undead in a 8th level slot), though the Mummy is immune (Create Undead in a 9th level slot).

Definitely, I enjoyed Greyhawk Adventures a great deal.

There was spell in 3rd edition 'Dimensional Anchor', but I can't remember how large an area it could ward.

Well, if the grappled creature doesn't fail the save from the tentacle slam, they simply take half damage and aren't stunned, so they could possibly break the grapple. It's pretty nasty for low strength characters, but not necessarily 'all she wrote' for them.

We never made it through AD&D version, I imagine there will saving throws and everything in this new-fangled version. Just keep in mind that when characters die, and they should die, they'll be looted by the survivors and back-up characters. I would suggest encouraging the characters to survive...

Saying an ability "cannot be used again until one completes a rest" is used a few times in the Player's Handbook, but avoids the 'short rest' and 'long rest' terminology. I'll admit, I'm just a bit wary of increasing PC power more than another 'short rest' ability. My PCs are annihilating...

Yes, I'd have to agree, I remember 4e had very short 'short rests'. Gamers said they'd, more often than not, short rest after every encounter. So, it would turn into a 1/encounter ability. You'd simply use it every fight, encounter after encounter. Seems like it would make for rather repetitive...

Yes, the setting seems really cool.
