Same for me. The Red basic box set was my first exposure so I blame it on that.

Red

Too much effort for so little return. The last encounter my party had with a troll under a bridge they aced the group stealth check and walked right past it. Boom. Full xp. Can’t see the value attached to the added granularity and an inventive party would heal the mob to get more xp.

To be honest I’d go third party e.g. Tome of Beast. You might even get a pdf.

Sure, why not?

Ah, of course. I was specifically thinking about Tasha’s and Xanathar’s.

One of the players at my table asserts that the splat book 5e spells are significantly more powerful by level than A5E spells and are as such incompatible. Anyone with experience in this area?

Crikey. Reading that tugged at a heart string I’ve not tugged in over thirty years. “Look Raist, bunnies”.

Minotaurs. Reading the Legend of Huma and reading about Kaz was amazing to my teen self who used to have a childhood fear of the Minotaur of Crete. Kaz being a fellow of wit and discretion was simply wonderful.

I’d keep it simple and say you just spend the HD and be done with it.

My Adventure’ Guide arrived on Thursday, huzzah!

That’s an idea I shall adopt in my game. Cheers 👍

Waiting with baited breath.

If you gather spell components while travelling you get a monetary value in components. Can anyone tell me what that means? I’ve always played a component pouch or focus as like a weapon: have none of either means no spells with component requirements. So if I have 3gp worth of components...

When I started with 5e (having DM’d all of the previous editions) I immediately thought ‘right, better house rule this and that’ because I thought it would cause a problem ‘down the line’. Turns out I needn’t have bothered: 5e hangs together really well.

I used the travelling rules on the fly for the first time last night. If you think on your feet you can get a really nice organic encounter. I used to hand wave travel because it thought wandering monsters were too gamey but the two harpies that randomly rolled up when looking for fire wood...

I didn’t think about it that way. I guess I need to give it a go to see properly 👍

I like it. This would work for me and my game. I’m only a bit cagey about multiple concentration effects.
