Hi folks, Sorry for the 3 different threads, I just felt that some of these didn't go together very well. In any case, looking at the spells, I'm feeling like some of them are hugely powerful. Fireball doing 8d6 at 5th level is huge damage. That's 28 points of damage on a failed save, 14 on a...

Title asks the question. At what point does a barb 1/warlock X get 2 beams from eldritch blast? Where X=4 or X=5? I think level in this case is total level (otherwise I'm unclear how the cantrip-granting feats would work). Thoughts?

Hi folks, Let's say I have resistance to fire and 5 temp. hit points. Say I take 20 points of fire damage. How many "real" hit points of damage do I take? Resistance spells out that things which reduce damage happen before the resistance. But I'm unclear if temp hit points count as...

Fairly self explanatory. If I volley, can I get an extra attack with horde breaker? I'd argue yes, because horde breaker triggers when you make a weapon attack and volley gives weapon attacks. I don't think there is a way to stack volley with extra attack as volley replaces an action, not...

Hi folks, I was reading the 5e PHB (very cool btw) when I started looking at the crossbow feat. A few questions: With crossbow expert, could one (somehow) load each hand crossbow without putting the other one down? Is there any way to get an off-hand attack with a second crossbow as a bonus...

Yep, I entirely get your argument. I just know that for me and my friends, some of the issues on morality and the like only existed because the crunch forced it on us. (Say 6-8th grade). "Think of the kids" is occasionally a valid argument. :)

The section of text I've bolded highlights what I think is best about having these be crunch restrictions. I recall having these discussions as a kid. What a wonderful thing--a set of "real" experiences (well fully contextualized) where kids can, and did, debate morality. Also, being "forced"...

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I wanted to A) point out this has never been fixed in the hopes someone from WotC would see it and B) ask if there is anything else out there (some other place the errata was placed). Thanks,

I've not seen the "not this year" claims, but I agree that GenCon 2012 is likely.

My items... Dwarven Armor--the ability to heal, without a healing surge, 1/day as a free action (and therefore between others turns) has kept more than one of my characters up during a fight. Plus it adds to the endurance skill. Plus it's in the lowest price tier! Amulet of Life--Another...

The feat, Master of Stories, from the feywild book, seems well, very powerful. Rather than once/day healing, the feat gives once/encounter healing. Plus other stuff (including an aura that certain powers can aid). Seems a bit much. Typo? Errata bait?

Saddle of the Green Knight The great Elven knight Erispiel was known for his bravery and loyal companions. Upon his death Erispiel's saddle has appeared again and again just when needed by the defenders of the fey. And along with it, his boon companions, if only for a short time. Then the...

Well, 2e does have S, M & L weapons in the PHB. So I'm pretty sure a large creature can wield a large weapon in one hand. But, as you say, there seems to be no rules for huge weapons... Bah. I'm finding a lot of the 2e rules to be written really poorly. Psionist's handbook in particular...

Learned a bit more OK, So I've figured out a few minor things. Perhaps someone can fill in the rest (if the rules exist at all). Can a large creature use a two-handed sword (large weapon) in one hand? A lance? Are there rules for the damage of huge weapons in 2nd edition? I'm assuming that...

Do large creatures wielding correctly-sized weapons do more damage in 2nd edition? I'm thinking specifically about a dark sun half giant. Thanks!

I only made it though the first half of the replies, but I really find myself disagreeing with most of you. 4e moved too far down the "simplified board game" path for me. I'd rather it move back to simulation and say "screw balance" a bit more. Things should, in context, make sense. Why can...

Did they move somewhere? I can't find them...

OK, So if a ranger throws a heavy weapon with dual strike, do they use STR or DEX? And how exactly would you deal with a double Axe with the "dwarven thrower" property? And... anything weird if you try to throw a double axe using dual strike? I'd think it wouldn't matter, but from a...

Thanks folks, Sounds like we are hosed. Ah well... Mark

Thread necromancy Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I thought it might work better than starting a new one. Has anything resolved with respect to ownership of this? We've got a new GM who wants to run Runequest (I gave him a bunch of different systems including 4e and 3.5e but he likes...
