    D&D 5E (2014) How do you think "Epic" play will work (if at all)?

    I'd like to see more of a Power Points ala Gold Box Immortals for those on the road to godhood. Spend them on boosting attacks; like affecting multiple foes with a 1 foe spell or making a melee attack like Movie Sauron's Broom of Doom, defenses; like 50 point damage soaking barriers or...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5' Step and AoO

    Surviving is a constructive thing. If the player is suffering a terminal case of "But I wanna Act"-itis, can't stand to spend a round moving away, and then the action doesn't work out as planned, the character dies. And that's a good thing. They gambled their characters life not to have to take...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Challenge Ratings of dragons accurate in 5ED&D?

    Yeah, I'd much rather face the drider, even the spell casting variant.

    D&D 5E (2014) Video of guys in plate mail as reference for you!

    Those weapons stand a much better chance of causing noticeable damage to the plate and probably hurting the guy inside. Sword will leave a scratch, those other weapons might leave a dent or hole.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are Challenge Ratings of dragons accurate in 5ED&D?

    In 5E there is a modest amount of power variation at each level of Challenge Rating, and given that WoTC has screwed up dragon CRs before, I’m wondering if folks feel dragons are appropriately CR’ed.

    A polearm weighs 30 pounds?!

    :confused: Wonky weapon weights make it a hell of a lot harder to use carrying capacity rules. People still make weapons so you don't have to consult a scholar to do such research. http://www.sabersmith.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CONT

    D&D 5E (2014) The Case for a Magic Item Shop?

    I doubt ruling class would even permit thing like Crowns of Charisma, Rings of Human influence and Rods of Rulership to be in any hands but their own. Chances are a Vorpal Sword* has a few countries claiming it to be theirs, likely emblazoned on their coats of arms, and they will be more than...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should magic items stay out of the next PHB?

    Oh yes. Some players barely have enough time to make it to game to play. Other players don't have the spirit to run. And some just don't enjoy running.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the Tarrasque tough enough?

    The person running the game makes the decisions on how well it can throw items at long distance targets.

    Halo: Nightfall Trailer

    Oooooo, I'm always down for Military sci-fi that might be played straight rather than trying to take a crap on it's own genre.

    Star Wars VII spoiler/speculation thread [spoilers]

    Well, it looks like the Lightsabers in the new Cartoon have a thinner blade than the Prequel Era lightsabres. That MIGHT be indicative of a deliberate style bible change back to the thinner blades of the original trilogy. Obi won vs. Vader in Star Wars:ANH provides a great example of how thin...

    D&D 5E (2014) Preview 3: Rings

    Oh, if Spell storing rings are purchasable, requiring the spells not be "only cast on self" spells might be a good idea.

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

    They are at will abilities in 5E. While they used to be just another spell level in previous editions, that isn't their role anymore. Just like how fighters don't get every fighting style, you gotta pick something and live with it.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Case for a Magic Item Shop?

    Unfortunately, many players are not willing to take these steps with sufficient GP. They don't see anyone in town openly selling magic items, they just mope about not being able to spend their gold on anything.

    D&D 5E (2014) Next DMG Sneak Preview is Up! Figurine of Wondrous Power!

    That is what the rules seem to state. You'd have a valid concern if the text was "...if a character uses an action to speak the command word while touching it." I saw them all, and I'm not being sarcastic. There is a reason why overland movement is measured in days. and most of these figures...
