    Kensai fighter archetype

    Fighter archetypes only give stuff at level 3, 6, 10, 12, 15, and 18. The other levels you still get regular fighter things (Ability improvements, Action Surge, Extra Attack, etc.)

    Kensai fighter archetype

    Consider that this is in place of ever having a magic weapon. In a low-magic game, the kensai will be over-powered, but if you follow the loot guidelines in the DMG the kensai should be slightly behind a fighter of equivalent level. At least, that was the intention. I'll check my DMG when I get...

    Kensai fighter archetype

    I considered it, but you'd get the AC boost all at once. Tying it to proficiency raises it gradually over a character's career. Good idea; it should be split up. Also agree that the kensai gets too much at level 3. Adding 5 foot increments at levels 6 and 10. I was actually thinking about this...

    D&D 5E (2014) The RPG or the Brand?

    When it was released? The Philosopher Stone's initial print run was 500 books, 300 of which went to Libraries. Are you sure you aren't thinking of the later US reprint under Sorcerer's Stone? It was already well established by that point with two UK printings. The US Scholastice edition sold...

    D&D 5E (2014) The RPG or the Brand?

    There are a great deal of us who did not read the Harry Potter books until the movies popularized them outside their core audience: literate kids and YA fiction fans. And I am confident in the opinion that the movies boosted the books more than the books boosted the movies. EDIT: Which, if I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) The RPG or the Brand?

    Just wait. How many 3-hour epics do you think we can get out of a padded Silmarillion? 30? 40?

    [LPF] Return to Boar's Ridge

    D&D 5E (2014) Sandbox Play

    Early in my DM career I thought sandbox play was the cat's meow. The problem was that I, as a DM, was not competent at extemporaneous storytelling yet. I also provided no potential plot hooks. I had a map. I had some things going on. But most of all, I had a table of players scratching there...

    D&D 5E (2014) The free online crunch: I don't think it's going to be as much as we think it is.

    In any previous edition, this would mean pulling in extra writers to pad the book with worthless crap (Book of Exalted Deeds, I'm looking at you). So I think we pretty neatly dodged a bullet here.

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    Ok... you have my attention. Yep. Note that the original brand product, the toys, do not suffer from the expansion of the brand beyond the core product; rather, the core product benefits pretty well from it.

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    Convoy was not voiced by Peter Cullins, ergo it does not exist in my head-canon. :P

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    There was one previous Transformers movie; it was called Transformers: The Movie (1986), and it was the finest cinema ever produced in the history of man. In the history. Of man. "You got the touch... you got the pooowwwaaaaaaah... YEAH!!!"

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    I understand, but that's not a reason for Hasbro or WB to sue Sweetpea; I believe that litigation is motivated by self-interest, not the Spiderman franchise owned by some other schlubs.

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    That makes zero sense, seeing as neither Sony nor Disney are litigants in the case.
