    D&D 5E (2014) D&D AL Play reports: Princes of the Apocalypse, sessions 1-23

    This is one of my main Concerns with the Adventure. I will GM it soon and I have no Idea how the Sandbox in this Adventure Works (Level 3-15 is a BIIIG span, even with bounded Accuracy). The clues for the different hounted Keeps looks fine too me, but I fear that the deeper Levels are too...

    Sage Advice (18 May 2015)

    Yeah, but the other Crossbows do more damage and have far better range. Like Dual-Weapon Combat, at first it is quite strong, but the more attacks you get the lower the advantage is...

    Sage Advice (18 May 2015)

    That Ruling makes the Hand-Crossbow advantage useless. Also the only advantage the Hand-Crossbow has to his bigger Cousins is that it is one-handed, which is moot if you need two hands to operate.

    What is the advantage of Pre-Ordering it?

    D&D 5E (2014) An Introduction to the Forgotten Realms

    Thanks for doing this! Since 5E defaults to Forgotten Realms now, but has no real Gazetter, something like that is really needed! 8D

    D&D 5E (2014) Scimitar

    Just want to point out that dual-wielding Rapiers was a real combat-style. :) http://afencersramblings.blogspot.co.at/2013/07/case-of-rapiers-bluffers-guide.html What I am really missing in 5E is a reason to use the classic Dagger-Rapier Combo. You cannot use it without the Feat, but it's a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Gazetter?

    *Facepalm* The Descriptions are included in the Human-Section of the PHB, including their typical look and Names! How could I have overlooked that! :) So with the Gods and Descriptions in the PHB and the Regiondetails in the Adventure, I have already all the Info I need. Thanks for all your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Gazetter?

    That's exactly what I would have done, but all NPC's mention where there are coming from and nearly nothing else ... so it's a very important part of their descriptions, which I don't know anything about :P

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Gazetter?

    Since 5E uses Forgotten Realms as standard Backdrop for their Adventures, but there is no official 5E Forgotten Realms Guide ... what book should I use? I would have thought the 4th Edition Book would be right one (the most recent as far as I know), but Princes of the Apocalypse always lists...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D AL Play reports: Princes of the Apocalypse, sessions 1-23

    MerricB, did you use the Adventure Hooks (Page 12-14)? And if yes, how did you introduce them?

    D&D 5E (2014) [Spoilers] Princes of the Apocalypse session report

    Thanks! I usually like such Hooks, but these look overly specific and give often no reason why the Character should follow it. Also they are not for the Group, but individual Characters which is also a bit odd...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse Maps

    I am looking for a good Region Map for my Players. Is there a way to see the Player-Version of the official map (you buy both the GM and Player Version, but I don't know what the difference is)? http://mikeschley.zenfolio.com/p763166286/h1c53b7b4#h1c53b7b4 Or does anyone know an alternative...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sage Advice: Spellcasting

    The bard has one of the best Focuses. Mine has attached some drum/bell-like instruments on his Shield (don't know the english words for it) so he only needs to shake his Shield rhythmically to cast his spell(songs). Another option would have been a singing sword (with holes in it to make loud...

    D&D 5E (2014) How might you fix the beastmaster's animal companion?

    My main Problem with the Beastmaster is, that it seems that there is no official way to heal them besides Magic (no Hit-Dice, no healing together with the Ranger, etc.).

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] D&D 5e good spell combos

    Be careful, you need to Concentrate to Ready a Spell and therefore cannot combine this Tactic with many other Spells.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mounted Combat Question

    But that would make no sense. How would the Mount be fast enough to Disengage but the Rider, who just sits on top, does not. Also it fits perfectly to a mounted Warrior to ride through enemy hordes while slashing left and right (except if they readied their attacks especially a spear).
