5E includes all campaign setting worlds. But it depends on the authors. You probably won't see a lot of DragonLance and Conan's Hyboria. But the Lords of Waterdeep are still around. I'm just hoping we'll see a revival of 1st Edition Dieities and Demigods, and other alternate-Earth settings.

I like it because the spell description gives you suggestions on how to use the spell.

I am not violating the NDA since the designers are talking about it. In summary, the Starter Set is a box of basic rules used to teach people new to Dungeons and Dragons. The Dungeon Master's Guide will not only be a tomb of modular optional rules.. (think of the modular way we have all been...

Put that -- Starter Set -- away young man! There are women and children!

JavaScript on tablets is so poorly supported that I am still using a laptop for the 5E DM Screen I created. I have pretty much run out of ideas for things that I want this program to do. I suppose my next step is to create a drop down menu of previously used monsters and my own version of a...

Each weapon should have one single unique reason for being chosen. A crossbow will be more accurate. A bow can be loaded faster. Etc.

When you think about weapons in 5E, consider this. Weapon experts right here on Enworld have informed us that a primary and secondary attack had equal accuracy but the damage of the secondary attack is always less. Statistically 2d6 does only .5% more damage than 1d12. So 2d6 just adds time to...

20 bucks is great for me too!

I'm a seasoned(old) player and you may not think I have any need for the Starter Box. But; I'm going to use the box set to try to introduce new players to D&D. I'm a collector. I don't want to wait for the core 3. I want to start a new game right away.

That's good for some ideas.

For those of us who invested a lot of money into Pathfinder, what are your suggestions for converting Pathfinder into the current Play-Test rules of 5th Edition? Currently, this is what I am doing. Starting with the ability stats. If any ability is above 30, I change it to 30. For example, Int...

I really like it. What if we had a game where you could learn all possible feats at 20th level. Or you could learn all the spells in your class by 20th level! There is really no issue of balance here if the feats and spells roughly do the same damage. There are simply more options for veteran...

The AC of the shield adds +4 so it aids in the blocking of all attacks. So how can we make the shield a very attractive alternative to a secondary attack? We don't have to add a AC+4. We could say that if the character does not bash with the shield as his or her secondary attack, that the next...

Mr. Murphy strikes high and low. The greatest warriors make mistakes, and often. Fumbles are not always the fault of the PC who rolls the 1. An enemy can bump into your 20th level fighter, and cause him to fumble. The fumble represents the random chaos in a battle.

I had a critical hits and fumble DM screen. Loved it! If a monster dies on a crit, a gory end was rolled. We lessened the severity of the fumbles and crits on the party because it slowed the game. Each player is encourage to describe what part of the enemy they are attacking. If the enemy...

I'm not opposed to DC and saves as much as I am opposed to casters not rolling anything. The answer may be in asking casters to roll a 1d20 to see if there is a crit or fumble in addition to all the saves.

I think that healing should be ordered in this way. healing spells by clerics, paladins, monks healing by druids, witch' sand wizards healing salves and potions(teas) prepared by rangers healing after a long rest healing after a short rest My game tends to be deadly. After an encounter, I...

Have the caster roll a 1d20 in addition to all the saves that the targets make. If the caster rolls a 1, it is a fumble. If the caster crits, have a crits table?

Caster's Fumble Too! 1d8 1 your spell rebounds on you and your allies! Stick of a man! 2 you lose your concentration for 1d4 turns and can not remember any spells 3 a demon or devil materializes and attacks your party(equal in level to the two lowest level characters of your party) 4 your...

Modular Optional Rules for 5E. Fumble, You roll a 1 and don't have the luck of the Lightfoot Halfling. Fumble Table Roll a 1d8 1 your weapon breaks, if your target has a magical weapon of equal or higher value, your magical weapon breaks, 2 you break your hand and now do half-damage with...
