Or the DM can describe the visual as the book describes it: the scary dragon is circling the keep, attacking men on its roof and ignoring everything else. There is enough context to know that the biggest danger is the roof.

Because backgrounds aren't a turn-off switch for a PC's brains, unless you took "suicidal maniac" as a flaw. Now, some people do, but that's their choice.

Counterpoint: not every fight should be a face-roll devoid of actual danger save character stupidity. Some things have to be out of the players' control and left to chance. If a casualty of this philosophy is the notion that PC's no longer believe they are invincible or equal to any challenge...

We did not read the same adventure at all. By the time they got to Lennithon, kobolds had dropped everyone in the party at least once. They saw the dragon and knew I would kill them with it. Knowing, as stated in the adventure, that Lennithon is a reluctant participant in the raid and is...

With the natural limit of 20 on any stat, it looks like lucky rolls in 5E are not nearly as game-breaking as they might have been in earlier editions. I'd say let them play whatever they wish, and let bounded accuracy surprise you with how balanced the whole enchilada still is.

Everyone looks like they stepped right out of OD&D, for real. If you notice, all the stuff the priest does early on are Level 1 spells, but they look impressive in the anime!

Anyone seen SK around? It's almost two months since he posted here.

I know, but there was some hopeful speculation that it might not be eternally exclusive. EDIT: I, for one, had such a hope. I never thought HeroLab would support it, though.

This will pretty much obviate any reason for me to financially support Morningstar, even if they had a 5E version. HeroLab is pretty much all I want from a digital offering for D&D that is not fulfilled via simple PDF's.

Dispel Magic seems a lot more powerful in 5E, as it works on EVERY magical effect on an object or person, each one being rolled for with a pretty easy check. Even a level 9 spell is easily dispelled at level 5! As a DM, how can Dispel Magic be blunted as a magic "I WIN" button? Not trying to be...

Umm, yeaah, I don't think you have to be a "religious right-winger" to figure out that the BoEF is not something you want the public associating with your brand. And not in an eye-rolling, "oh lord here come the rubes" sort of way.

Darvus watches the gaggle at the trap door and tries to stay out of the way as best he can. His sword remains unsheathed, however; there are no doubt more dangers here. Darvus Andar AC: 16 (15 flat-footed, 11 touch) HP: 20/20 CMB: +6 CMD: 17 Fort: +7 Reflex: +4 Will: +5 Perception: -1...

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Seeing the dwarf taking the lifting quite handily, Darvus slings the bow he got from Tamarie and looks back down the wall at the doors. "Well, I suppose the only question now is how we want to go down? Those doors to the inside no doubt lead to some stairs...

Darvus was supposed to level to 2 on Sept. 17th, but I missed the DM's announcement. :o This is my first time leveling in LPF, so let me know if anything is askew! http://livingpf.wikia.com/wiki/Darvus_Andar_(Halivar) Level 2 Paladin HP: Rolled Max-2 to go from 11 to 20 Fort and Will went...

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Darvus comes to halt as he sees the second skeleton blasted into oblivion. He pants for a brief moment and heads back toward Tamarie. "M'lady, I'll take you up on that bow. Sure beats running," he says with a grin. SK, I totally missed that you leveled us on...

Last weekend I ran a level 3 one-off to introduce 5E for 8 people on a trip to New Orleans. Ran them through a "chaos temple" with the help of my trusty Jester's Insane Chaos Levels chart. You were thought of.

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Darvus continues his advance upon the remaining visible skeleton. Double moving to the next skeleton. Won't reach him this round, but next round I should be upon him. Darvus Andar AC: 16 (15 flat-footed, 11 touch) HP: 11/11 CMB: +5 CMD: 16 Fort: +3 Reflex...

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Darvus breathes a sigh of relief as the healing magic pushes the arrow out of his leg. He wastes no time, however, chasing after the dwarf, calling back behind him, "I owe you, my lady!" Double moving to the next skeleton. Darvus Andar AC: 16 (15...

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Pain strikes Darvus as the arrow plunges deep into his leg beneath his chail skirt, but his momentum can't be stopped now. With a roar, he charges into the first skeleton and strikes out with his falchion. Falchion: 1d20+5=16 Damage: 2d4+6=13 Getting...

None. As others have stated, notice that all the art and adventures were contracted work; I would expect those to get the can after they are no longer needed. WotC did right to contract this out to some quality folks, and there is no pressure to lay anyone off because they didn't hire anyone in...
