    D&D 5E (2014) Why no 16-18s allowed in Point Buy?

    From what it looks like currently, we will probably be able to trade attribute boosts for feats. [ doh ninja'd ]

    The Caller and the Mapper

    I don't really see mapping so much anymore. I think it's because of how often we use battle mats now though. As an overall group, we don't want to 'map' it twice.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set Command Spell

    The srd version does require the target understand your language. (See: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/command.htm )

    D&D 5E (2014) When did your Forgotten Realms depart from official continuity (for world-shaking events)?

    Partially. From what I can tell, the lore that became canon wrt the Bhaalspawn is the lore from the books. For instance, Abdel from Murder in Baldur's Gate did not necessarily .

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E PHB on Amazon $30 Pre-Order

    Mostly as Amazon doesn't have to pay for retail space or for retail employees. The book pricing model lends itself towards some avenues being able to provide deep discounts.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen Adventure - Will you run/play it?

    I've ordered it, not sure if I'll run it (not sure if I have the time to commit to DMing anymore :(). It's likely that one of my groups will want to play it however.

    D&D 5E (2014) Upcoming OGL-Related Announcement!

    Doesn't hurt that Kenzer may have been in a special situation with regards to the D&D license due to their hackmaster (4e) settlement. [ edit ] In typical slacker form, I miss the clarification point just after I post, so bleh. So Kenzer understands their usage, or wizards/hasbro had no desire...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reduced Price on DMG and MM on Amazon

    Hmm, interesting, my pre-order guarantee hasn't kicked in yet for the DMG yet. MM did though, I imagine it's just a routine query they run though.

    WotC and Buy.com

    Hmm, mine still says ship date of the 6th, arrival on the 9th [which since the 6th is a friday makes sense].

    Will buy.com get sued?

    'Damages' would be in rather non-quantified form as their relation with their other business partners has been damaged. Can make an argument that some of their consumer Good Will has been damaged as well. And of course, the argument of lost sales in retail chain [more so wasted effort] from...

    Will buy.com get sued?

    Actually contract law is pretty harsh and strong to defend, if it was a hard contract, and well known to be a hard street. Books, traditionally aren't. Scholastic had to work hard and very proactively or else the street dates would have never been acknowledged. No longer in the retail chain...

    [Eberron] Why do none of the setting-specific races have a dragonmark?

    Further, it doesn't make sense for Warforged or Kalashtar to have Dragonmarks at all. Changelings and Shifters -maybe-, but I'm not that familiar with their lore off hand.

    Weapons of Legacy: does anyone have it yet?

    Eh, really varied alot per module... But as a sidenote, using Dark Sun in that average is just unfair :P.

    Prestige Classes need rebalancing?

    I disagree in general with the premise. I remember far too many blargh front-loaded builds from 3e. Although, I'll agree that primarily the only real initial level benefit that remains is the first level saving throw bonus. But even still, I feel the resistance to immediate power through a...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    From the sound of things, it's prolly a pre-built campaign/composite adventure path.

    Is it just me, or is evil winning in the Forgotten Realms?

    The Roll of Years predicted much of it though. As a boon, it does make for a more interesting campaign world to be a player in. After all, there's a bunch of stuff going on to keep the Big Guys busy, so you can feel significant in your slice of the world.

    Help me convince my players that the Cleric is cool

    Well, late game, nothing quite as deliciously evil as a Luck Domain Cleric dropping TimeStop and blade barriers... Body parts just fly. At low levels though, I'd remind them, that unless they're an evil(ish) cleric, they don't have to prepare to be Medic all the time, they can be the Combat...

    Heroes Of Battle SUCKS!!! (IMHO)

    158 actually. It is a bit thin to be a hardback. I like it though. VP and RPs are interesting tools that I'll make use of. Some general battlefield advice as to how to run it, although that can honestly be dumbed down to any event based type campaign.

    Races of Eberron *Update - Couple of folks have it - Ask questions here*

    Just a side comment here. Seems VHPS got an ugly batch of Races of Eberron. Well at least my local store did :(, all copies in the general vacinty appear waterlogged and have excessive book adhesive on the spines sticking the pages together. Was worse with LoM though, had an entire chapter...

    [OT] Arnold to star in King Conan: Crown of Iron

    Necropost powers activate... Was fun 2 year variance too. So it almost looked normal. Anycase, any news on the Conan front?
