    D&D 5E (2014) DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    I imagine the actual tools are the least complicated thing they're working on. The background infrastructure has got to be brutal. And not in the Metalpocalypse kind of way.

    D&D 5E (2014) MM sold out on amazon

    They also may have pulled some stock until the page smudge issue was resolved.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ghouls and Ghasts

    I think it's a flavor thing. They use their claws until their target is paralyzed, then move in to bite once they have Advantage. It seems to me that it's a case of the rules being used to enforce a certain flavor to the monster.

    D&D 5E (2014) Spells: the Good, the Bad, and the Downright Orcish Grandmother

    You are correct. It takes your action to "maintain" Witchbolt.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are you RETURNING to D&D

    sgtscott658 : A quick guide for useful forum communication -- Don't say X sucks. Say you prefer Y. Don't say people who like X are stupid/wrong/whatever. Say that your playstyle differs from theirs. It's okay to have preferences and even to express them. But if you want to avoid the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Our Thundertree Experience (SPOILERS)

    There is more than one forum "theme." You can check out the "classic" black background style by hitting the "Switch Style" button on the top right.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Conversion of White Plume Mountain & other AD&D classic adventures

    I'm also interested in seeing some guidelines. There are supposed to be some coming out around the time of the DMG's release, so if we're patient maybe we'll get a cookie. (Hell, I've had to resist the temptation to harass Mouseferatu for his take on converting several of his 3.5E...

    Also: Surprisingly bad at getting into the Beta despite signing up day 1. :(

    D&D 5E (2014) Phandelver as Plot Point Campaign (Mild Spoilers)

    I need to give these PPCs a closer look. I've got the one included with Necessary Evil, but I honestly never really looked at the "adventure" section of the book.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are there any other websites with daily D&D news

    This feels inappropriate. But I don't know of any others that approach this level of coverage anyway.

    D&D 5E (2014) tail proficiency

    If you want prehensile tails to be a thing, I'd just allow them to essentially be an extra hand. Are you proficient in sleight of hand? Then you can do it with your tail if that's how you want to fluff it. That sort of thing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Aboleth entry in 5e Monster Manual

    The reincarnate bit can be hilarious if taken literally. You slay the Aboleth! Unfortunately, it reincarnates on the plane of water... <rolls dice> ... as a halfling. And immediately drowns.

    D&D 5E (2014) Spells: the Good, the Bad, and the Downright Orcish Grandmother

    Hmm. I just re-read True Strike. It doesn't work how I thought it did. It is significantly worse.

    D&D 5E (2014) Aboleth entry in 5e Monster Manual

    How odd. The entry actually made me more excited to include one in my adventures. Heck, I even dug out Night Below for inspiration.

    D&D 5E (2014) Everyone Starts at First Level

    I dunno. But I read all your posts in Billy D. William's voice. I thought you should know.

    D&D 5E (2014) Everyone Starts at First Level

    Which he had lying around the house, of course, and in no way gained via the course of adventuring. oh wait... (Am I doing it right?)

    D&D 5E (2014) Multiple Backgrounds

    You pick two personality traits from your background. Maybe that's a point of confusion?
