No thanks for your verbal attack. Asking for spell blocks is not absurd.

Given that logic, why are weapon stat blocks listed at all? Shouldn't people remember that "simple weapons" are dex or strength based? They should memorize the damage of each weapon and just look it up on the weapons table every time. Right? Don't waste valuable storytelling space listing...

Good point. It would be nice to list which spell slots the monster spell casters will use and which spells. As the Dungeon Master who must pick all the spells and slots during the game because I have little time before the game to prepare, (Don't judge. Some of us have demanding jobs and...

Great! Spell Stat Blocks!

That's reasonable.

I think it is your reading comprehension that is the issue here. I said that I may be wrong about dex being the ability modifier and it was clarified that it was intelligence that was the modifier. Etc... means there are more details that I did not include. Fire Bolt Cantrip+int+pro 1action 120...

Thanks for the clarification. Spell stat blocks are still needed.

For example, Borngray in "Dragon Queen" has a proficiency bonus of +2. His attack bonus with Firebolt is +5(int+3, pro+2). But Shocking Grasp is a touch attack. His attack bonus should be +4(dex+2, pro+2). Even if this is not a mistake and the designers want you to use the int+3 for Shocking...

First level saw a lot of dropped characters. When Healing rules were explained to me, it wasn't so bad. I learned that if players use a healing kit with the medicine skill, fallen allies don't have to death save as long as it isn't their next turn. HHealing spells can also be used on characters...

I really like the direction of spells in the new Horde Supplement. As long as the devs are focusing on these kind of spells I would like to suggest some added value. The basic idea is that if you can curse, you can also heal. If your ally is blinded, you should be able to cast a spell to cure...

That's the idea. Summarize and shorten the stat block as much as possible.

If spell stat blocks like this were in the description of the monster, it would save me about 30 minutes of prep time looking up each spell and condition. Example, The Mage from the New Horde Supplement. Fireball DC8+int+3+pro+3(DC14) vs dex for half damage 1action 1slot3 150 ft. 20 ft. radius...

I'm not the only one complaining about 1st level being too lethal. The Challenge rating on many of the monsters is too low. The hit points and the damage is too high. I was a play tester for 4th edition too. Advice given at that time was ignored. Always listen to the customer and consider any...

I can no longer find the reddit listing. It is called DM Screen.docx

I've given up on it now. Someone on Reddit has a DM Screen with all that I need on it. But what they haven't come up with is a table summary of all the spells. I may do that.

I think there are too many GW attacks allowed. But balancing the two styles should not cost a feat unless both styles cost feats. Why balance? Because 20th level fighters of equal power should both do the same damage. TW does 5d6+5 (or add extra damage with no Feat tax, turn the d6 to a d8) GW...

Start each encounter at full hit points. Each encounter in the starter module assumes the party has full hit points. A total party kill is more likely if you don't. 5E is deadly like 1E.

Can you believe that!? All these years developing the game and it is finally here. I plan to just keep building characters and pit them against each other until I fully understand the rules.

Let me explain the mechanics and see if you all agree with my interpretation. A DM notes 2 players with a wisdom modifier of +2 and a wisdom modifier of -1. He writes; Player 1 Passive Perception 10+2=12. Player 1 has the Perception skill so that is wis mod+2+proficiency bonus for 1st...

There is a thread of discussion on Reddit where a first time DM discusses his TPK. "First time DM, TPK, 5e Starter Kit" I told him not to fudge the rolls but rather have the monsters do static average damage and throw in a few party NPCs. This was good advice I received here on EnWorld.
