    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    My hunch is that there was a recent board room conference call/meeting. WOTC asked if Dungeonscape IOS/Web/Android would be in usable, feature complete when the DMG launches as they most likely wanted to include a page advertisement in the rear of the book. Trapdoor said not possible. WOTC...

    D&D 5E (2014) New D&D Basic Rules DM v0.2 and Cantrip Scrolls

    Sounds like an area for a good feat. Cantrip Master Your primary spellcasting ability score increases by 1. This cannot make the score exceed 20. You may learn an additional cantrip from your spell list. You no longer need to use material components for cantrips you cast. You must still use...

    D&D 5E (2014) HotDQ - Dragon Hatchery during Episode II

    I would have Cyanwrath and Fulram lock them in whatever room they escaped into. I mean LOCK them in, bar the door, seal it, etc. Make them think of a way to escape. All the time they hear lots of commotion outside (the cult moving everything out in a hurry). And then run the dungeon normally...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rise of Tiamat Supplement is online

    I feel like in 3 years we are going to look abck and say, "Fighters who put stats in STR are doing it wrong". Not jsut because of the "possibility" of these items, but also because HP > STR. A fighter simply gets more bang for buck out of CON than STR.

    D&D 5E (2014) Licensing so far....

    WOTC - D&D has a very, very tumultuous relationship with digital tools. I am excited to see how far Dungeonscape can go before either blossoming into a useful tool, or being sidelined. When 4e was announced there was a massive amount of hype over the online 4e tools. And it fizzled completely...

    D&D 5E (2014) Full preview unlocked!

    NPC creation and item creation, but not the same as we've had... I LIKE

    D&D 5E (2014) Extra Life D&D Game

    Lets hope.... Ray Gun - Exotic Weapon - Range 60/200, 1d6 magical damage. On a critical hit, target must succeed on a Constitution save DC 10 or be disintegrated as per the spell. On a natural 1, the wielder must succeed on a Constitution save DC 10 check or be disintegrated as per the spell.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lacking a license, what constitutes fair use?

    There are already numerous character generators online for 5e. I don't see a monster generator as much different. There are already monster encounter generators as well. Just be sure to exclude any monster types that are specifically protected and you should be fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lacking a license, what constitutes fair use?

    Until WOTC releases information on a OGL/GSL inclusion for 5e, anything outside of the free PDFs is legally off-limits. Now, some argue that because of the wording on the original OGL, alot of stuff is still covered by the OGL, and even though you may get a C&D letter, they cant sue for damages...

    D&D 5E (2014) How much speed could a fast monk gain, if a fast monk could gain speed?

    What about just polymorphing the monk? Say... cheetah? Cast spells... go go speed racer.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tiamat?

    I dont have the book so just thoughts... But I bet the party needs to make friends. Those allies fight the other heads, while the PCs take down one head. At least that's my guess, cuz that's how i'd write it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the Tarrasque tough enough?

    Understandable. However, I think any party who went and got say clay golems or white dragons to fight the Tarrasque would be miffed when the golem or dragon got all the XP for the kill.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the Tarrasque tough enough?

    The Tarrasque will decimate the party the first time, as it should. It shouldnt be used "theres a tarrasque attacking waterdeep". It should be an "OMG what is that thing?!" moment. Let the party get slaughtered, then have them regroup and figure out a way to take it down. Tarrasque has 1...

    D&D 5E (2014) Pathfinder AP conversion to 5e

    So what are you doing about the magical weapons and armor...in all 8 levels of HotDQ there are only 2 magical weapons, and one is a completely optional encounter suggestion. Minor things like haversack and eyes of eagle are fine... they should be attuned, but the excess wands and healing I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's break the Ring of Spell Storing

    Remember too, that while one-off effects on non-casters are interesting, the ring will need to be refilled by a caster expending precious slots. Great for down time though.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pathfinder AP conversion to 5e

    Handing out all the items in a 3.5/PFRPG AP would do it. Youd have to very carefully monitor the magical treasures.

    D&D 5E (2014) Pathfinder AP conversion to 5e

    I would say moderately difficult. You would have to worry about conversion of npcs and monsters as well as encounter balance. Not to mention the story elements and PFRPG setting elements. Then you'd also have to modify treasure parcels. It would take a long time, but could be done. Would...
