    Variant Skill System 5e

    That pretty much covers how I view it. Though I wouldn't limit which skills you can put points in. If a rogue wants a couple points in Arcana, who am I to complain? You can do the same with saves, tools, etc. You could conceivably do it with weapons, but I think we'd need weapon groups.

    D&D 5E (2014) duplicate proficiency

    The broad version is definitely better. Skills are supposed to be equal. As a DM, I will essentially allow anyone to trade one skill for another if it better matches their character concept, regardless of duplicates. The only place I might limit that is if everyone starts wanting the Perception...

    Character Sheet Feedback

    Thank you. You've always been properly thorough. Personally, I agree that on the whole, the official sheets are a better implementation of the same concept. In fact, my next project is to expand upon the official character sheets with things like the magic item sheet, expanded equipment sheet...

    Character Sheet Feedback

    I'm bumping this thread in hopes of capturing some of the traffic the front page is driving to this subforum. I really want to make sure people who still use this sheet are happy with the changes before I make it form fillable.

    D&D 5E (2014) There's one thing about 5E I don't like...

    Even before getting the DMG, replacing proficiency with a simple skill point system would be easy. Multiple the number of skills you have proficiency in by your proficiency bonus. You have that many skill points that you can place into skills. No skill can have more points than your proficiency...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is WotC actually working on?

    It's worth noting that, while they've outsourced the writing of the adventures, they've been creating the story bibles for each arch themselves. Last we heard, they were finishing up the story bible for the second adventure and were in the middle of the third. We now know that the second one was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apolcalypse/Adventurer's Handbook by Sasquatch Game Studios

    Meals has mentioned that the Forgotten Realms will be their focus for a while. I wouldn't expect to see anything for other settings for a few years. At which point, they could move the Adventurer's League stories to that world as well. Seeing as the major storylines are part of the videogames...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apolcalypse/Adventurer's Handbook by Sasquatch Game Studios

    This seems to fit what's been said so far. Additional player material will be based on the major story arcs. The organized play document for Tyranny of Dragons mentions which materials are usable, which I can see meaning that those who do organized play will have an incentive to pick up the...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Will You Be Generating Stats in 5E?

    While someday I'll run a campaign where the players roll 3d6 in order, that's the exception to the rule. Normally, 4d6 drop the lowest or the default array, as the player chooses. That said, I'm conceptually fond of 2d6 + 6.

    Character Sheet Feedback

    I've updated the static version of the sheet. I want to get feedback before I put in the effort to update the fillable sheet. Version 1.1 is available from the forum Downloads Section. Once done, my next project is to start working on alternate and expansion pages for the official sheets...
