Well no. If the combat abilities of Natural Explorer moved to be within Primeval Awareness then all rangers would still have access to them no matter the "conclave" they chose. Primeval Awareness is a core Ranger ability.

Natural Explorer I agree with a lot of the sentiment about the combat abilities, they are not too powerful, but thematically it seems like they would be more at home under Primeval Awareness. Primeval Awareness Mabye its just me, but not only would I move bonus to Initiative here, but I would...

Cool idea, but one of my players is also DM for a game and we just went to Ravenloft in that game.

I've been running LMoP for my group with great success and probably within the next couple of sessions they will be heading out to Conybery to deal with the Banshee. Now, in the book it states that Conybery was prior to winter attacked by a barbarian horde and ransaked, but there isn't much else...

My son is playing a Wood Elf Druid who uses a bow as his primary weapon. He seems to be having lots of fun with it. Basically the spells and wild shape are used for interaction and exploration while the bow is used for combat. I'm sure this will change once he starts getting the really powerful...

This is something I've thought a lot about. I've come up with several alternate dice methods that I have yet to fully try out: Method 1: Always roll 3d20. After rolling the dice, drop the highest die and the lowest die. Use the remaining d20 for the result. Under "Advantage", drop the two...

Here is something I came up with a while back... For 2d10, under advantage, roll 3d10 and pick the two highest; under disadvantage, roll 3d10 and pick the two lowest.

I actually mocked up exactly this a little while back. Maybe I should just post it.....

This. 100% this. I actually sat down and compared them all to each other and the battle master. The only real difference is the set of powers/abilities gained at 3rd level (with some minor differences at 7th). The more I compared, the more I was disappointed. It is like they came up with one...

All in all not a bad UA, although not really a fan of the way that the Revenant has been implemented. Surely it is a neat way to accomplish this, but why would a template not be doable? Not that I hate, but something about it just doesn't feel right....*shrug* Like the new Fighter Archetype...

I my game, I'm perfectly fine with simply saying that a druid wearing metal armor can't use any shapeshifting. If you want to shapeshift, take off the metal armor.

I find this to be very good news. I have both the Adventurer's Book and the Loremaster's Book and I love nearly everything about The One Ring. The books themselves are beautiful, the art just amazing. It really brings the world to life in the mind. If they can bring that over, it would be...

Which is the number one reason why I've pretty much been always against using psionics is any of my D&D games. That being said, however, I don't actually hate this version of the psionic rules. It is a marked improvement over their last attempt.

I can feel you there. I've spent way too much time thinking about game stats for bows. I consider myself an archaic archery enthusiast, and pretty much always choose to play archers in D&D or any other fantasy game. In truth, if one wanted to simulate the fact that stronger bows would require a...

My biggest problem with the Scout is really the skills. - A Fighter starts with 2 skills at character creation. - A Ranger starts with 3 (or is it 4, don't have my books in front of me). So the Fighter (Scout) would end up with more skills than the Ranger. That just seems wrong to me. Clearly...

I'm thinking that a lot of the issues being discussed about the Battle Master and use of Maneuvers and Superiority Dice might have been completely cut off at the source if the Fighter was originally published as a class that made use of the Maneuvers and Superiority Dice in the base class...

I have a couple of specific thoughts on the Scout. Why thieves' tools? There aren't going to be a lot of locks to pick while wondering about in the "dangerous regions"? Shouldn't that be cartographers' tools? Also the choice of three skills seems a bit powerful. For a single class fighter...

Do you use a specific program or have you done the mixing yourself? I've recently started using a bluetooth speaker paired to my phone and then amazon music library to simply play a background soundtrack (mostly various tracks from Morrowind, Oblivion, The Witcher 1&2 plus a few others). Would...

I voted for single session side track adventures. Long sweeping detailed plots I can come up with no problem, but the session to session nitty-gritty of the PCs find if they go off track or things to do between grand sweeping adventures can be time consuming. What is also fun is to have small...

Been playing in a weekly game set in Forgotten Realms and have been running a twice a month game also set in the the Realms. But just yesterday I decided to dust off my old Thunder Rift modules because my kids wanted to play D&D. Will find out how well it converts soon.
