    Misfits of the Sharn Watch on D&D Next

    (For those entering the building) The door leads into the back entrance of the apartment building, which isn't as decrepit as its outer appearance would suggest. The cramped space you find yourself in contains a staircase leading up, carpeted in cheap fabric whose original color is likely not...

    Misfits of the Sharn Watch on D&D Next

    Derbie waves his hand and shakes his head placatingly at Taelvosh while he leans over and catches his breath. Nae, don't worry about m-*cough*. About me. It's not any good drink I'm wasting! He lets out another hoarse chuckle and coughs again. Asides, I think master Marik could use this liquid...

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    And we're off! The first post in the IC thread is up! Whoever posts first is the POV character for the opening narration, but most of it applies to all the characters, anyway. As more players start posting, you can narrate your own arrivals according to your pleasure. There isn't too much to...

    Misfits of the Sharn Watch on D&D Next

    Sharn, the City of Towers. Once the pride of Galifar, the very word is still a synonym for excitement, opportunity, and high culture throughout the continent. The streets are paved with silver and the parties never stop, or so the stories go. Maybe it's true, at least for the upper city. But as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Oh Hai Katana!

    While I think they should include both dinosaurs and pirates, I think there should be the option to call them "privateers" or "gentlemen of fortune", for those games where the term "pirate" would be out of place.

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    What about flavoring it as tapping the strength of the storm for extra speed and ferocity, which allows you to make a strike that is almost too fast to follow with the eye? Kind of like similar effects in the Mistborn series by Brian Sanderson, or the Codex Alera by Jim Butcher (if you've read...

    D&D 5E (2014) Oh Hai Katana!

    I know this will convince no one, but I suppose I just want to throw out my two coppers. I want them to have a katana in the phb, because some kid will be flipping through the book somewhere and see the katana, and think, "man I totally want to play this game! Katanas and ninjas and samurai are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Art: Goblinoids, Take Two

    Love 'em! In particular I loved the comparison to mustelids (see my avatar :p) I could totally RP goblins as mean little bastard ferrets obsessed with grabbing and hiding shiny things! Weasel war dance time! Bugbears as wolverines is also pretty hardcore. I've always thought of them as slow...

    I'm fine with him being part of the main family. The character sheet looks fine, and I have no problems with thunderwave, it doesn't seem more powerful than burning hands which is on the sorcerer list. And I'm a sucker for the mark of Storm, I always loved the idea of dashing half-elven (excuse...

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    I'd like to keep the number of active players at 5, so assuming that everyone that has expressed interest ends up playing, we have that many already. If somebody ends up dropping out for any reason, I can keep you in mind as an alternate if you like!

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    I'd be tickled to have a dragonmarked character in the game! I'm willing to work with you to flavor the sorcerer for any mark you'd like. As you said, Sentinel and Detection lend themselves immediately to consideration. House Cannith is also heavily involved in all of Sharn, and sending one of...

    D&D 5E (2014) October Playtest Packet - Magic Items, Updated XP, Monster Traits

    As-presented, I think you have a very good point. But I could also see a reason for a variation of the attunement rule, because it keeps characters simple. You might want a game in which characters get large amounts of magic loot, and sift through it for a few pieces that are good enough to...

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    I'd love to have you both. Unfamiliarity with Eberron is no handicap at all, the game is basically going to be a dungeoncrawl (with a fantasy urban twist), and I'll be sure to explain anything that is not standard D&D fantasy-world fare. I'm using monsters pretty much out of the playtest packet...

    D&D 5E (2014) October Playtest Packet - Magic Items, Updated XP, Monster Traits

    I like the concept of attunement. It's probably not perfect as presented, but it's a good start, and in my opinion better than the golf bag full of magical weapons. The 10 minute attuning period seems like it needs some work. Maybe you should only be able to attune a new item once per day? Or...

    Yay, magic items! I'll roll for magic items as the packet suggests, and we'll see what Lady Luck has planned for your characters! You know, once we start playing. ;)

    [OOC] Master of Jade, Mistress of Iron - a World of Conclave adventure

    No objections, here. I just wanted to say thanks for being willing to change your character concept a bit for the team. I'm glad it worked out so that you could go with your original idea, but it's cool that you were willing to be flexible to help everyone out. Looking forward to playing with...

    [D&D Next] Misfits of the Sharn Watch OOC

    Seven, about the rank for your slayer fighter. The whole world of Eberron has just emerged from a century long continent-wide war, so you could easily be a returning soldier of pretty good rank (captain to colonel, which would have given you command of between a hundred and a thousand or so...
