    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Misprint

    If this is true, call Wizards of the Coast Customer Service. They'll have you send in the PHB and will no-doubt send you a new one.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do we hope to see in the DMG?

    You must be thinking of 2e, because it was a normal multiclass Fighter/Wizard ability and no one cared much. I still don't see why it's a problem. Let them eat cake.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think a psychic class should look like in 5e?

    A little more on the Psionicist subclass(paths) ideas. Again, names aren't final. The Psion The Psion gains additional Power Points per level, as well as an improved list of Augments for their known powers. Some can also use their powers to summon a Psicrystal for the day, a physical yet...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think a psychic class should look like in 5e?

    I started working on a rendition of the class today. Hopefully I'll have the time to fully realize this before long, as the braingine is firing on all cylinders currently. Without the details as of yet, the class will start as the Psionicist. No names are final, of course. Powers will be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    I like that train of thought, as long as it doesn't drag the Gith race in there with it. In old editions, the Githyanki and Githzerai had some flip-flopped lore that made both races rather bleh, aside from the illithid empire bits.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk Damage

    It would grant normal bonuses to the attack/damage, just like the Extra Attack ability. The bonus attack gained by two-weapon fighting is specific in that you are attacking with a light weapon that suffers this bonus loss, while the Monk ability is simply a nonTWF bonus attack. Like they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone else find the arcane magic items in LMofP and in HoDQ over the top? (spoilers)

    I kind of like that. Unless you do some detection magery, I could see charged magic items working like Out-Of-Ammo rolls for modern/sci-fi games. You roll everytime you use it, and if a certain number comes up, it is exhausted for the day. You could even make the DC to continue using it...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think a psychic class should look like in 5e?

    I wouldn't mind seeing a Wild Talent feat that functions like Magic Initiate. It would allow a PC to touch on psionics without having to fully jump in. Honestly, I wouldn't mind it as a setting-specific background, like Acolyte of Zuoken or Awakened of Auppenser. Something like that could allow...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player's Handbook Binding

    I do this to every single RPG book I purchase. I do a first go-through, flipping and pressing every single page, cover to cover. A book is like anything else. Proper maintenance extends use. If it comes into your possession already damaged, that is beyond personal maintenance, unless you are...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think a psychic class should look like in 5e?

    I like the Modes idea, however it should be an optional rule for games that are psionics-heavy/centric. It doesn't make a lot of sense to use them in a game where a single PC is the only psychic thing around, around the different modes were just as effective against nonpsionic enemies. As for...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think a psychic class should look like in 5e?

    While sitting here at work, I had an interesting idea how a Psionic class could be represented. What if the class had a selection of at-will powers to choose from(a la Powers Known), and each can be Augmented with Power Points. At 3rd level, you select a path to further your potential, each...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    Would you be up for sharing the Mind Flayer, and other psychic creatures? I'd like to mess around with psionic ideas shorn from the MM entries.

    D&D 5E (2014) Psionics - What do you want?

    I think psionics will draw on various casting examples, but an actual handbook should lean towards worlds where magic is rare or non-existent, and all the only powers are od the mind. It makes a lot more sense to have psionics in that train of thought. I would like to see it used as at-will...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think a psychic class should look like in 5e?

    As the title suggests, this is for gathering ideas and opinions on the topic of psychic classes. Should it be just a feat? Should there be a class and a feat that allows minimal psionics, like Magic Initiate? How would you like a psychic class to function? I saw some complaints that psychic...

    [Adventurer's League] Not making it easy to find DMs

    Towards the OP and this post: As a DM, what prevents you from allowing interaction with Cyanwrath(even killing him), and just tweaking a follow-up appearance of that NPC with a similar, newly-named NPC? It is a simple name change and wording of his appearance, without all of the hassle you are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen: As it Turns out, it's Pretty Good (so far)

    If you are including the subscription discount in the totals, you should probably include the Amazon discounts for the 5th edition books. I would wager the consumers utilizing those two discounts are about even currently, with the release-hype of D&D Which keeps Pathfinder at $186 and puts 5e...

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

    I also never saw the point of repeatedly re-rolling my scores. I see most games allowing two sets of 4d6, pick the best. During AD&D, I started giving every player a single 3d6 set roll, but anyone at the table can share that set. Community stat rolls, if you will. It removed all ability issues...

    D&D 5E (2014) Minor rant - y'ever just hate your players' characters?

    Now, you need the Dual Wielder feat to use any nonLight weapon in a two-weapon scheme. It accounts for the skill required to be successful with the style. However, you can then wield any two single-handed weapons without the big feat chain(and Tempest levels) of 3e. You can twin-longsword like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual soon to be in the wild!

    I am all for seeing as many images as possible just like the rest of us. Not trying to be a downer, as I am super jealous and WANT ONE NAOOWW. I'd just rather not see possible text submissions axed by a thread closure, however unlikely. Rather new to actually posting here(been a lurker for years...
