O.k., so all attack rolls are ability versus armor class. I see. What about the DC8+magic ability + magic bonus? I thought it was DC base 10+magic ability + magic bonus

As the Dungeon Master, I already have a lot of work to do rolling attacks and saves for monsters as well as babysitting people and keeping the story interesting. As a result, I have had to create a tracker with automatic rolls just to keep the pace fast in my game. With spell DCs, I have to do...

I'm looking at the same characters. When you look at the description for the Cantrip Ray of Frost, it tells you to make an attack roll but it doesn't tell you what the character's proficiency bonus is. Nor does it tell you you're attacking the target ac or another ability. I'm also looking at...

What spells did Josh choose? kira3696.tripod.com

I think some martial maneuvers (feats) (escalation dice) (whatever), should have encounter limits. For example, disarm should be allowed once per encounter. If the martial character disarms all the monsters, it becomes comical. I think that we should use the spell slots normally reserved for...

Koga, cut and paste what characters you have. I'll put them in an encounter fitting their level and we can see how they do. kira3696.tripod.com

A skill roll could be weighed like this. 10 +ability score(10% of the total bonus) +skill kit(10% of the total bonus) +skill bonus(80% of the total bonus) The Mage can figure out how things work and watched the Rogue unlock many doors. The Mage took the thief's tools(skill kit) from the dead...

Koga, I was reading this quickly. Do you have a link to your character sheets or stats? I will pit them against the current monsters in the bestiary to see how they perform. kira3696.tripod.com two 5th edition black dragons facing off

As long as Feats are specifically offered and detailed to Martial classes, the game will be complex enough for me. The great thing about 5th edition that nobody has touched on yet is that grapple and restrain is really specific this time. This is great. Two Ogres wander into Ravenloft castle...

To the person who asked about the number of monsters in an encounter. my method total the levels of the party 1 level = 1 monster. so if your party has 15 levels you can pit 10 1st lvl minions with a 5th lvl minion leader for example. after a few encounters where the party takes damage, you can...

I started a monster construction kit thread. I did not see your request initially.

..it can be used with any edition. It is only important to preserve the monster's actions.

Monsters from the bestiary can be modified to be challenging to any level party by using this point system to construct easier or harder to kill monsters. In this system.. Monsters start with 1 action for each arm, tail and leg(if the monster uses its legs to attack) 1 reaction Monsters max...

Here is my background which explains my prediction. I first found Dungeons & Dragons in a war gaming store, the original Men & Magic. I had no money to buy it. When my dad gave me money for mowing the lawn I purchased the blue box version of D&D with the basic rules at a local suburban mall. It...

Here is a mechanical summary. A combat encounter is quick now. This is accomplished by lowering everyone's armor class and restricting their modifiers to saving throws. Humanoids can not naturally achieve higher than a 20(+5) strength. Non-Humanoids can't exceed 30(+10). magic items above +5...

No paperbacks. The books are so often used that the cover falls off. I want 1st Edition AD&D Player's Handbook quality. And about the same number of pages and format. kira3696.tripod.com auto-resolving combat version

Let's have a new survey. Would you pay? $20 $30 $40 $50 What do you expect in the Player's Handbook at your chosen price? I would pay $20 for the 4 core classes and skill set details associated with each class. I expect every detail to play the class.

Let's get back to what made D&D great. The books were easy to handle and reference with only an average of 130 pages. The price tag was within the range of middle class allowances. Consider the really poor economy today. 50$ is too much to pay. Wizards, cut the volume of each book to 130...

I recreated a pathfinder character Bard/Rogue, using the last 5th edition play-test rules for multi-classing and it worked out o.k. kira3696.tripod.com My 5th Edition Play-Test Tracker, Phablet version coming soon.

You can split up your move. But you must expend an action to disengage from an adjacent enemy. If you don't disengage and you move away from an adjacent enemy who is not adjacent to your ally, you are opportunity attacked at advantage. if you are flanked by two enemies who are not adjacent to...
