    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Cheese

    Oh this statement brought a tear of joy to my heart. I always thought Gnomes where provided to us to have a race we could kill with extreme prejudice and not be consider evil. You know that old saying the best Gnome is a dead Gnome.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th edition driving people back to 1st/2nd edition.

    I am an old school D&D and 1e player while I like some things about 1E there are things i really like about 5E. I am staying with 5E because overall it has been great. Story arcs etc are pretty easy to convert just sub monster, characters and some gold/magic items

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk unarmed strike count as weapons?

    Per sage advice stunning strike works with unarmed https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/666345658673065985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw From earlier this year: Stunning Strike requires a melee weapon attack. An unarmed strike qualifies In short Unarmed strikes are not considered melee weapons...

    D&D 5E (2014) what is it about 2nd ed that we miss?

    I thought of him in his 25-30 range older than the teens but his roaming would suggest something young and he was a good swordsman so I guess he would be a valor bard in the 5e world

    D&D 5E (2014) Tools for Running Larger Battles Efficiently

    I also find having a layout on paper where all the groups are when the battle starts a visual aid does not have to be art work but a general sketch of the battle area always helps me keep things straight that way I have a general distance of monsters from players and where they are at on the...

    Oriental Adventures Update - Feedback/Playtesting requested.

    I would agree with the suggestion by Mike on the magical item at 3rd level for the Barbarian in 1e it was 4th level. ChamelonX but overall I think you really did a sweet job of catching the essence of the Oriental Barbarian and like the overall layout and powers. I am torn on the Paladin for...

    D&D 5E (2014) what is it about 2nd ed that we miss?

    They better get it right this time with the characters they totally butcher them the Bard was young and a swordsman not some old dumb guy; Gurgi was taller and he was not some cute and cuddly creature. Like I said it got me hooked on the Fantasy Realm. Thanks for the link some what excited now...

    Oriental Adventures Update - Feedback/Playtesting requested.

    I would not worry they can already use a rapier 1d8 so a two handed 1d10 is really nothing average damage for a 1d8 hit is 4.5 so now it is 5.5 with a 2h weapon that is not going to matter that much

    D&D 5E (2014) what is it about 2nd ed that we miss?

    The books are what led me to D&D and Moorcock was one of my favorites but the one that started me down the path was Loyd Alexander Book of Three but i started a few years after you 1980-81 time frame. Yes the books where the biggest influence slowly the movies started creeping in but then we had...

    D&D 5E (2014) noob questions: sneak attack, firing into melee and opportunity attacks

    The first reading is correct the rogue sneak attack is it's bread and butter without there is no point in ever playing one their damage would be terrible so yea and note swash bucklers and another element for the sneak attack Firing in melee depends it can be considered cover by your DM...

    D&D 5E (2014) Battlerager Reckless Abandon

    Me personally I would never go frenzy; I think the totem is the best build in the game for barbarians already had that argument even a board and sword Barb. I done that on a build I took tough over the con to get to more HP I lose a + to save but that is the trade off for more HP. What got...

    No AL on my part and non point buy system generally you can get one stat high and enough in the rest to make it work late levels.
