You guys! Stop arguing like (Pirate)cats and (Thank) Dogs! ... ok, so you weren't really arguing. But... I couldn't let the pun go to waste. The terrible ones yearn to be free.

There is. It's essentially an artifact, though.

It's bounded accuracy (as in, accuracy falls within certain bounds), not FLAT accuracy. It certainly does exist, and I think the hypothetical AC27 character is... unlikely, at best.

Didn't they already spoil this once? Edit: Ah, yes. The article is dated 8/19, not 9/19. I thought I was going crazy there for a bit.

It's interesting so far. The only problem I'm seeing is that after awhile, my players are only missing on very low rolls. Actually, I'm not sure that's a problem. Let's call it an observation, instead. It seems to work because players inherently enjoy "hitting" -- and this lets them do that...

I kind-of feel like it does need a campaign book. Yes, there's a lot of information on past settings already available. And if you know to look for it, that's great. But not everyone is coming into the game with decades of experience or knowledge of what has come before. For them, it can be...

I think the INTENT was for it to apply to the entire paragraph. Personally, I'm going to be ignoring that line entirely. Let the Warlock bind an artifact. And let him pull it out of hammerspace any time he likes. I mean, how cool is that? Spoiler alert: Very.

I've been cribbing from 4Es XP-for-quests guidelines, but substituting in an amount that seems reasonable. Generally a minor reward would be equal to about the equivalent of a moderate encounter. More for harder (or longer) goals, less for easier ones. Edit: I looked to the Starter Set's Part...

Existing players' entitlement issues are a whole separate conversation. :lol: (Mine included)

Gold.

Honestly, I think that is the heart of the complaint. If those things were available right now, then WotC could be taking advantage of the current increase in awareness and leveraging it into new players and new DMs.

I love watching how topics fluctuate over the course of 30 pages of discussion. It's like people-watching, but ... different.

I'm disappointed about the Lord Soth/Strahd fluff thing. When I saw their names in the Index, I was excited. I suppose Acererak is the same way?

Wait, what? Is this really the case?

Generally speaking, I am in agreement with Angry about a lot of things. This is not an exception. A lot of people in the first half of this thread either didn't read the article, or got stuck on the "sell" terminology. To be clear -- this isn't about moving product. This is about expanding...

What else do you want kobolds to do?

I'm not the person you're quoting (obviously), but I think we would have been better served by divorcing XP from CR. That would allow more granularity with encounter building while keeping CR as a general guideline of toughness.

It could be. I've known many people who prefer that style.

Spell points tops mine.
