A level doesn't have a set amount of time. It does has a set amount of Xp. That set amount of Xp is earned mostly through encounters, which are going to be spelled out in the adventure (and probably given as random encounters as well), and which can be roughly estimated as to how long they'll...

Ravnica was my favorite block of MtG cards. I just really loved the Orzov, the Golgari and the Dimir. This is really the only MtG/D&D crossover I care about, but I'm not 100% sold on the book, especially if it's as sparse as the other MtG D&D PDFs have been. Combine this with the $50...

Noted, and corrected.

I'm not really sure there is a specific way you're supposed to respond to what I said. You know, I think ultimately I was just waxing contemplative about the uselessness and the bile of edition warring, and about how some who've been through it have repeatedly heard certain inaccurate...

"What happened to morale?" Mine has been gone for many years now. I assumed that was how the world works.

I've seen more of the edition wars than I care to have seen. I've always tried to stay objective when edition war stuff comes up, because I've played and greatly enjoyed every edition of D&D from BECMI to 5e. Each has its own great parts, its own flaws and foibles, and its own missed...

Well, "I leap across the chasm to the extent of my remaining movement" is something the character can accomplish within the turn's constraints, as is "I continue my aerial movement across the chasm and land before doing _____" on the character's next turn. If "what you state must be...

And the 3e PHB says that Extraordinary (Ex) powers can break the laws of physics. That makes them magical, except that the book specifically says they're not. That's what 4e was conveying by saying that martial exploits aren't magic in the traditional sense. They're "magic" in that they break...

Really? I thought Enterprise had a lot of good episodes. The cogenitor episode, the doctor's pen pals episode, the vulcan monastery episode, the Xindi arc (if you ignore or change the time travelers manipulating the war to start piece of it), etc.

Well, the point (at least in XGtE) was that falling takes more time than is available in a single round (if done from a great enough height), and that a character who can fly might reasonably have a chance to resume flying or control their descent before they hit the ground from a great height...

Thank you. I usually go with the standard 250 days. Although any increases to HP, HD and Proficiency Modifier are automatic on the first day. I'm also willing to credit days for certain things. For example, if you're proficient in the Arcana skill and MC into Wizard, I'll usually credit the...

The rules do technically allow you to end your turn in the air. XGtE, the section on falling long distances. Whether one chooses to allow jumps beyond existing movement to do the same is certainly a judgement call. But, it's noteworthy that an in-print official source does allow for ending...

And the first two Back to the Future movies. Everything else I've seen with time travel in it usually makes a mess of things. Just look at the Star Trek series Enterprise. They had a good idea there and some solid episodes, if only they didn't do that Temporal Cold War crap.

Depends how it's handled. I've never used 5e's MC ability requirements, but I do require finding a trainer, paying said trainer, and taking the time to learn from her to MC. If you can't get in all the training before the next adventure or session, you can get some features of the class based...

4e's biggest issue with multi-classing right from the book was the power swap feats. If a power is of the same level and on the same refresh cycle (i.e. at-will, encounter, daily) you should've been able to swap them if you pleased because they generally would be balanced for their level and...

I object to the Ability Score requirements for Multi-classing. Makes no sense story wise when there's no ability score requirements for being that class from level one. And, all it does is discourage sub-optimal MC choices. I mean, requiring a 13 or 15 in a class' main stat to MC into it just...

The announcement that there will be a future announcement is a non-announcement; it's a scheduling change dressed up like an announcement. And, most likely, it was an intentional lure to get more people to view the fireside. I'm glad I skipped it, and stuff like this gives me no incentive to...

The DMG one actually looks good as well. What the heck is going on here? Did WotC actually learn to make decent special edition covers?

That's the first special edition cover I've liked so far, and even then I prefer the cover of the existing PHB.

That's a cool idea for an alternate background trait. I might steal that for one of the polygamous cultures in my setting.
