    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Hobgoblin stat block

    I did another simulation with 4 2nd level adventurers vs. 2 hobgoblins and 4 goblins. The hobgoblins set up an ambush on a forested road. The hobgoblins were at the end of the road armed with their bows and the goblins were about 40' in front of them, two hidden in the bushes on each side of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Hobgoblin stat block

    They shot at the fighter because the wizard was behind the fighter and cleric. Pretty typical marching order. The scenario might play out differently if there were 4 goblins hidden in bushes and two hobgoblins at range. I suspect the goblins would be cleared out pretty quickly due to their low...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Hobgoblin stat block

    I've had a look at the stat block and I think the Martial Advantage ability is reasonable. I tried a few combat simulations to test it out. The first thing I learned is that this statement isn't true at all. The sample first level fighter will make short work of a single hobgoblin, due to...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does this photo say to you? [Project: Morningstar)

    Our current table already has iPads and other tablets. We also have books, pads of paper, and laptops. I've just about completely gotten rid of paper at work, using my iPad for notetaking, so it only seems natural to do the same for gaming. I wonder how well it works with a mixture of...

    Pathfinder 1E The single best Pathfinder adventure?

    My vote goes for The Hook Mountain Massacre. Mostly because of the Grauls.

    Bring all your pettiest complaints about the playtest

    This was my petty complaint too!

    Radiant lance and Spiritual hammer

    Spiritual Hammer lasts for a minute. You can move it and get a free attack with it every round. So on your subsequent turns you could cast Radiant Lance and have the hammer attack as well.

    How do you read these parts of the rules

    1. Correct. 2. Correct. 3. Components are hand movements, speaking, and sometimes material components. Wizards need to buy the material components and use them every time they cast a spell that needs them. 4. Part of the playtest is how the characters perform with the equipment given them at the...

    Dungeon 197 - Creature Incarnations - Hordelings

    My hordeling is a small skirmisher with a wrinkled spherical head and a feathered, slug-like lower body. It has a single glowing yellow eye on a stalk. Its three-beaked mouth crackles with electric energy and its four stubby arms ends in fiery claws. Although small and legless, it moves with...

    I'ma moooonster! BUILDER!

    Does anyone know how to add regeneration to a monster? I've looked and looked but can't find a way to do it. Other than that, and the use of the old damage values, and the lack of a reasonable export option, it looks very promising. It's much quicker than the old offline builder (or maybe I'm...

    D&D 4E Baba Yaga's Dancing Hut 4E

    More questions: Is it still a tesseract? Is there a JS-1 tank?

    I am *so* stupid! 'Heathen' is Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now!

    It wasn't the first. Zenith Trajectory, in Dungeon 102 was clearly a homage to Heart of Darkness as well.

    Polearms Quiz - how'd you do?

    I got 15 out of 22. Surprisingly, I was able to tell the difference between a spetum and a partisan. Unfortunately, I confused my glaive-guisarmes with my glaive-forks--a rookie mistake I know. :)

    Can Wizards turn around their D&D support?

    This quote pretty much sums up WotC's communication problem. The fact that their community manager has to get approval from multiple departments before posting on their company message boards shows how serious their problems are. It shows that their management doesn't trust their own employees...

    DDI Monster Builder

    It's still a beta. And it has only been available to a small subset of DDI subscribers on an invitation-only basis. It's bad enough being charged to beta-test software, but to pay money and still not be invited to test the software is even worse. I've now had a look at the online version. It's...

    DDI Monster Builder

    Really? Is it December 2010 when they first said they'd try to release the online monster builder?
