    D&D 5E (2014) New Map for Sword Coast

    The free version of the map released by WotC is missing dots for many towns. So was the the first version released by Mike Schley. However, Mike Schley updated the map, and the current version available for sale has those missing dots. The positions of towns and roads appears to be largely...

    D&D 5E (2014) Proposal for my DM

    It's up to your DM, but there is an excellent homebrew guide to magical item prices which suggests adding 800 gp to the regular price of armor to upgrade it to mithral. That seems reasonable to me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Prince of the Apocalypse - Order in which elements are encountered

    Of course you can go in any order you want, but you might want to check the "Character Advancement" sidebars on pages 41, 75, and 113.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dwarves & Encumbrance?

    I struggled with this issue when designing my simplified encumbrance sheet. The dwarf feature has its roots in previous editions: I decided that the spirit of the feature would be best implemented by house-ruling that dwarves can ignore any penalties to speed caused by being encumbered or...

    Tailored 5E Character Sheets for each class! Round 1: Druid!

    Can you post the updated version of the generic character sheet as well? Looking forward to seeing other custom class sheets.

    D&D 5E (2014) When to use Shove and Grapple

    Grappled prone targets are automatically pinned—they can't stand up because their speed is reduced to 0 from being grappled.

    D&D 5E (2014) When to use Shove and Grapple

    There is no "official" errata on this, but Mike Mearls has explained on Twitter that a shove or grapple cannot be used as part of a monster's Multiattack. "Multiattack" is a specific action that many monsters can use instead of a standard "Attack" action. It is described on page 11 of the...

    D&D Classics Merging Into DM's Guild

    They can do whatever they want, of course, but this definitely muddies the idea that the DM's Guild is just for content set in the Forgotten Realms.

    D&D 5E (2014) Silly/Senseless Rules You Have Found

    A paralyzed or stunned creature can't move, take actions, or take reactions, and automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws. It's not 100% explicitly spelled out, but it's only logical that any attempt to grapple an incapacitated creature should be an automatic success.

    D&D 5E (2014) Silly/Senseless Rules You Have Found

    This has already been addressed in the latest printings, errata, and basic rules. The new text reads: BR65 Heavily Obscured: A heavily obscured area—such as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage—blocks vision entirely. A creature effectively suffers from the blinded condition (see appendix...

    D&D 5E (2014) Just played one of my D&D board games and there's one thing I think could greatly benefit the current edition (or any really)

    I also think this would be great. Someone attempted a project like this on Reddit a while back, but it seems to have petered out. Reddit thread Pack Tactics example

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    Legally speaking, it's really not clearly defined what you can or can't do on the Dungeon Master's Guild. You're supposed to read the Content Guidelines, which explicitly grant permission to use the Forgotten Realms, but do not place any restrictions on creating your own campaign setting. Then...

    D&D 5E (2014) Newish and Possiby Missing the Point but...

    The included rulebook is basically the same as the Basic Rules you can download for free, meaning it only includes a few core classes, races, and options. You already have the Player's Handbook, so there is nothing new here for you. It also comes with pregenerated character sheets (which can...

    D&D 5E (2014) Newish and Possiby Missing the Point but...

    Some clarification on terminology: Setting: As described on page 5-6 of the Player's Handbook, the setting is basically the world that you play in. Official settings include the Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Greyhawk, Dark Sun, Mystara, and Eberron, and many people just make up their own. The...
