If the content is good and sound, it doesn't matter to me what it's called. ....it probably matters even less to me if the content is bad.

I would utilize her Feline Agility racial ability in conjunction with the Rogue's Cunning Action. This basically allows you to double the normal distance to close for melee, as well as, Disengaging from the opponent's melee range without suffering an opportunity attack in the same round. The...

For me I find that using standard array or point buy works better at my tables. The biggest reason being that when players roll their own, I often run into stat envy. Some simply will roll better than others even if only slightly. Even when rolls are made at the table in view of everyone...

I have been playing a Way of the Fist Monk. The character is level 5 now and I honestly have only used up all of my Ki points once that I can recall and that was at level 2 when you start with only 2. It certainly hasn't felt like it hasn't been enough so far. Maybe that is a product of the...

I cast furball on the party and loots all the chezburgers! :]

I played one in an AL game yesterday and I like the way he plays. I have him set up currently as a level 3 Battlemaster with Riposte, Sweeping Attack, and Trip Attack maneuvers. This is just my preference and I can't really tell you anything else you can't find in this guide...

I played an AL game yesterday, Foulness in Mulmaster, and took off my chainmail to swim underwater to the cavern at the end. I tied off my gear to a rope, dragged it only as far as I needed to while under water, then pulled it up when I surfaced. I strapped my weapon to me. Yeah I got...

The mechanics are there to allow free movement in combat depending on the environment and the make-up of the characters. Dungeon crawls, for example, limit movement especially for large parties. Wilderness or large Underdark settings can promote more movement. The problem described is most...

Interestingly I am on this type of adventure now also coincidentally to Chult searching for the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan.

So is this one of those "good problems to have" that comes with the increased popularity of 5E and AL? As the popularity continues to grow the pool of competent, experienced DMs becomes watered-down which diminishes the overall experience especially at Cons? Vetting may help as Motorskills...

It seems to me the main issues seem to be in the word Bonus. Remove the word then perhaps a lot of the issues people take with the rule seem to fall away? Sure a few of the minute details could be altered but ultimately they still seem to accomplish the same outcome?

It's both and neither. There are as many opinions about it as there are people playing. Those opinions will all be unique in their own way if only in minute varying degrees.

Yes, this has been my experience. Adding to that you are more than likely to be playing with people you haven't before will more often than not mean less continuity to the experience. The weekly FLGS experience should always provide a more consistently positive experience than the annual Con...

I believe there was just thematic crossover that happened to have some parallel emergence because that was something the collective consciousness wanted to experience.

What is a long campaign but several short ones strung together? I try to approach each game session as a one shot. Sure there may be some aspects of it that have been built upon from previous campaigns so I simply build those important aspects into the current session's preparation. Trying...

When sales fall to levels pre-determined by WoTC to warrant a spark via a new Edition. That is my interpretation of Mearl's stating "when fan's ask for it".

From what I remember, there were 6 of them in the neighborhood of level 15 except for Terry who was lower since Sam Reigal had only recently introduced him to replace Scanlan. All were rested and at full abilities and HP. Vax (Rogue/Paladin) actually died and had to be resurrected. At least...

In an attempt to view your post neutrally, a few things come to mind as I read it. First, it is my minimal experience at gaming Cons that it can sometimes be difficult to find a minimum number of GMs/DMs to fill all of the game tables. As such the Officials often have to take whoever they can...
