I never really liked skill challenges in 4e. They were more like roll challenges. In 5e there are now group checks. So if the group is doing something like attending a ball trying to gather info. Instead of having everyone roll again and again, have them each make 1 appropriate check and...

Initially they have to get people to buy the PHB. I would imagine once the DMG is released, theyve made their initial sales figures off the core base, and now need to attract new players. At that point theyve also gone full monte, so they dont have to hold their hand back anymore. I can...

Mine has this issue, and I just got it yesterday. Will Amazon send a new one first? Does anyone know how the replacement process works?

Asmor made a fantastic encounter generator. Allows you to not only search through CR lists, but it also visually tells you whether your intended encounter is Hard, Deadly, ludicrous, etc. definitely check it out. http://asmor.com/5e/monsters/#/main So it seems from his calculations, 1 level...

HotDQ didnt have printing problems, it had adventure quality problems.

When I start a long dungeon or area where i anticipate alot of mundane perception/search checks etc. I ask each PC for 10-20 d20 rolls, and i put em all on a post it. Takes all of 1 minute. I then refer to that for typical checks... "I search the door" "ok.. (looks at note) no traps."...

I wouldnt change a thing personally. The encounters are still tough. They will be Heroes, so let them feel like some. They can probably do more in the first episode without worrying about resting or healing. You may want to buff Cyanwrath in episode 1 or change that challenge encounter a...

If WOTC learned anything from watching Paizo kick their sales butts these last few years they will know to keep splat down and adventures up.

Sounds awesome! If you've had a chance to play the amazing PC game The Banner Saga, you might get inspired. Ala that game, since they have the Banner, possibly the last one known to exist... the Ice is now marching again on all of civilization. Its now up to the PCs to lead who they can out...

In the DMG and partly the MM I believe, they list the effects a dragon roosting in an area would cause. A White may chill the land for miles, a green may cause crops to decay, etc. So the monsters affect their areas directly. Now, in regards to militia... dragons may not be able to do...

Traditionally Aasimars are above the power curve of a starter race. I know they included Drow, but they are an elf variant and much more popular. But to speak of your greater concerns, the designers don't intend for dark and brooding heroes. They just didnt want alignment and abilities...

Chases are extremely tough in D&D. Many characters have easy ways to quickly boost their speed. And if you use those ways for the runner, he could escape before any pc's even get a chance. I run chases in my games quite often, as they are a great story telling element. Here's how I do it. I...

Truly... the best thing about 5E? If you're old PFRPG or 3.5 characters were ascended to godhood or you want them to be gods in your campaign, dont change a thing.

I would say for every for every Legendary action it can do, raise the CR by 1. A Lair would raise the CR by 2. You could have the Orc Warlord have a legendary action to take a bonus action each turn, which would raise the CR by 1. Maybe Autosave 1/day would be legendary but might not raise...

Would that matter? The voice is a product of the spell not the anatomy. This just got strangely serious.

Does it have to be that corpses mouth? or can i use a mouth from another corpse?

I dont see any of his special abilities... Annoy Party, Stab in the toe, Pee in Backpack... Internets, you can do better.

Someone get me stats on Meepo... stat!

HA! +1

Methinks you have not played 5e yet. I assure you this is not the case.
