(Royal you) As long as you aren't an optimizer of power gamer, one or two points between hit or damage doesn't make a big difference in 5e. If you insist on maximizing every aspect of your character, then I could you having an issue with this.

I'd love to know what these so called mistakes were that you think that you made. From everything I can read in your post your player made a bad decision to chase after 3 other combatants. The rest of the group decided to let him go and not help out. Then, after finding the body, they chose...

I want some more of it. :cool:

If real life had had hit points I think you would have seen a lot more 2h weapons used throughout history. Conversely, if characters died from one or two hits you would see a lot more shields being used. This whole subject is an artifact of the HP system IMO.

Isn't that why people would travel with a spare horse? Switch out every 30 to 60 minutes so that one horse could rest while allowing you to travel faster than a person would walk for a day.

He should turn into a dog at night and howl like crazy. Or a cat and rile up all of the local dogs. Make is so these unnatural city dwellers can't sleep in peace anymore. It could also be fun to change into a bear or big cat every now and then and just run through the town, leave tracks in...

Did he modify the base class though? If not, and it works better for the folks out there then why not use his? I like how WotC is doing things by sticking with sub classes to modify things. It keeps the complexity down and makes the game more diverse. But that said there isn't anything wrong...

You could make Paladin and Ranger multiclass only and require two levels of fighter. That would slow down their combat progress enough to mimic how paladins and rangers were slightly behind fighters too.

I had to drop some XP on the OP for bringing in Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue. That has to be one of my favorite non-crunch books. If I get to run a 5e campaign, it will definitely be included.

I agree with that interpretation of the Dragonmarks. I like the idea above about letting characters have non-mechanical least dragonmarks that evolve when they take the feat. I think warforged would benefit from a "Warforged Customization" feat where they can pick 2 from a list: here's a...

It's always possible that adding darkvision to the creation was an incredibly expensive addition to create. It could also be, since the process for creating warforged is a rough copy of stuff they found in Xendrik that most of their attempts to create darkvision warforged failed or caused other...

I classify potions of healing as a more mundane item. Slightly magical but not so much that it's not on the mundane item list. I think this was a conscious design choice to help eliminate the need to have a dedicated healer. By having basic healing potions be something you can easily get your...

I'd have to wonder how anyone proves who used to own a lot of what is recovered. How do you prove that was your gold the pirates had. If it's goods then labels can be removed and stuff can be re-packaged to hide where it came from. It would depend on the players and their goals but I would...

Not sure if this has been mentioned since I haven't read the whole thread yet but 10k gold (at 50gp per lb by 5e standards) would weigh in at 200lbs if it was all gp. 2000lbs if all silver. So probably somewhere in between.

I'll happily concede that I was wrong about the reason there were no high level NPCs. It has been a while since I read the book. WotC has pretty much said from the beginning of 5e that default gameplay is balanced around no magic items. If you want to recreate the 3e/4e eberron feel and have...

I have all of the 3e eberron books, although it's been a while since I've read them. It's one of my favorite settings. Just because there was magic running rampant doesn't meant that every elite soldier was equipped with +x items or wands of Y. The warforged were designed by a nation that has...

Well obviously there's no satisfying some people... It wouldn't have easier for wotc. If they had put hard coded prices on the items then DMs around the world would have been pressured to stick to those exact numbers. Any DM wanting to craft his own world would end up with players pointing at...

Caveat: personal viewpoint. You have to not think about eberron from an adventurer's viewpoint and more from a setting viewpoint. Yes eberron is a very broad magic setting. I use broad rather than high purposefully here. There is magic everywhere but it is utilitarian magic. Lightning rails...

Here's a link that doesn't go to ezequiel's wishlist. Not that I think your doing anything wrong man, I just want to make sure that there isn't any confusion if anyone tries to order it. Amazon was giving me odd messages that someone had already ordered it...

I'm glad that there aren't concrete rules for buying and selling items in the DMG. In my experience once a system is present a good number of players take it as gospel. I can't begin to count the number of threads I've seen from 3e-4e & pathfinder where players expect item X to cost Y because...
