Considering adventurers don't get to upgrade magic items, it's got it's uses, but bonuses to AC will generally be better at stopping damage. Yeah, definitely looking more like a Fun item rather than a Potent item. I doubt it's one piece, this is hardly WFRP. I'd suspect it's 20, like the PHB...

Tool proficiency keeps players from wasting the DMs time and breath. They don't see it on the sheet, they don't ask to try it.

No. Shields are not weapons. If they were that would screw over every fighter with Dueling fighting style. Shields are certainly not Light Weapons either.

Why does it makes more sense? The DMG tables are not about a DM "planning on that kind of adventure", the tables are about the default assumptions of the game. A roll on a magic item table doesn't mean the players are entitled to find a permanent uncursed item. A roll that ends up being a potion...

SWEET! Cursed items right in the normal tables! :] If you are rolling random items, it helps keeps the potential results from favoring one particular player. If one is rolling for random items, it makes sure Consumable magic items still are given out. It also established that consumables are...

A sad side effect of the PC option arms race. MM1 CRs assumes 15 point buy and PHB options. Later MMs full embraced that PC were powering up thanks to all the cherry picked splat options and as such needed more solid foes to be challenged.

Hardly. While the site sure looks to be pushing a specific agenda, and I do wish the article's footnotes were more readily accessible, it's still useful. Hasbro's entry on chinalaborwatch.org ... http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/reports/brand/24

Got anything corroborating for this? By some folk's definitions, a 17 year old in an american burger dive can be called "child slave labor".

I wish my character had gold to spend! I think the DM is trying to get even for the WFRP campaigns I've run!

They are appropriate in her human form... http://www.legendra.com/media/artworks/pc/advanced_dungeons___dragons__the_dark_queen_of_krynn/advanced_dungeons___dragons__the_dark_queen_of_krynn_art_1.jpg

Pecking order What the DM says What the rules say What the fluff says What the Players think something says.

I think we know how this ends...

While, I prefer eggs, knowing how some gamers are, I can understand why live birth may be more palatable to those who share a table with a walking gaming horror story.

It is especially helpful for a warlock player so they don't form unreasonable expectations!

That said, the higher level direct damage spells deal too little damage, especially when level boosted.

Very good to see an expected number of short rests called out.

One big thing I'm seeing is folks ignoring that at high levels, players are still supposed to face a lot of lower level foes. Casters are supposed to be softening up or wiping out lesser foes by the dozen. Using the example mentioned up thread, if there is a ranger instead of a wizard in the...

Still doesn't reconcile the exposed crosspiece making the design look stupidly dangerous to try to actually make use of the crossguard. If there had been a small energy crescent guarding that spot , it would have looked fine. Yeah, there is some materials the exposed guard could be made from to...
