I get the impression that they've been working on the books one-at-a-time due to the small team size. So they probably had an outline of things they wanted to put in it, and some half-tested rules modules, but they haven't been able to dig their teeth into it until the MM went off to the...

I still feel like the truest conversion is going to be a finesse-based eldritch knight 3/wild sorcerer 12. Almost full spellcasting, armor, attack rolls at the same level as the rest of the party (most likely). Now, you'd have to house rule the EK to use Cha instead of Int, and focus on a...

Multi-classing might also be a way to go. Say... Wild Sorcerer/Rogue (Assassin). Or maybe a dex-based fighter with duelist, etc.

Nice photos! I thought I'd turn my attention to consumable magic items. Nothing groundbreaking here, but maybe could be used for flavor. -- Potions are not A Thing. Instead, wizards and clerics bind spells into small crystals. By focusing your intent, the crystals become brittle and shatter...

I don't disagree. Maybe it helps if you think of it as giving up an invocation in exchange for a low-level Arcanum? ... that you have to power with a spell slot? Ok, that doesn't work so well.

It's the price you pay for the diversity afforded by picking something that allows you access to a spell that's not on your class's spell list. That said... yeah, I don't like those choices. I'm almost always going to take an invocation that I can use at will because that's what I want from a...

Anyone else planning ahead? Town mayor, brain eaten and being puppetted by an intellect devourer, hires low-level heroes to investigate that "minor disturbance" in the nearby underdark, promising waaaay too much money, and thereby feeding the mind flayers a steady stream of foolhardy snacks.

Well then, in the time-honored and noble DM tradition of stealing ideas ... -- A monolithic order of wizards who hunt down any who dare practice magic without their approval, and whose power waxes and wanes with the moons. -- Everyone has at least a smidgen of psionic talent. EVERYONE. --...

It seems to me that abandoned rich manor houses would be a primary target of the bandits. I doubt there would be much left. Maybe let him roll to see if he finds a minor trinket that rolled under a table in the confusion or some such.

It's 100 pages of adventure, all of which underwent sweeping changes every time a new rules revision was released. I may not like the errors, but I understand why they're there.

With the release of 5th Edition, I figure a bunch of DMs are going to be jumping back into the game and designing a plethora of new worlds for their player's to rui-- er, adventure in. Starting from scratch isn't always easy, so I thought we could throw out some interesting setting elements to...

Can anyone remind me what the rules are for healing ability damage? I'm away from book and I'm trying to figure out how devastating this critter is going to be.

Wow, dat stun.

It wouldn't be any good without that aspect.

If that's true, I've been doing it wrong. Can you point that rule out to me?

Hunh. Yeah, a helpful NPC along for the ride could take care of the problem entirely.

My players split up, leaving one with the Wagon while the others followed the trail. Upon discovering the hideout, they went back and regrouped, hid the Wagon, and assaulted the hideout together.

I meant the font matching and page layout (I come from a background in newspapers), but that's good to know. Talent should be recognized.

Well, whoever that nameless artist is, they did a pretty good job.

Interesting. Not super scary (excepting Fiendish Charm), but about what you'd expect. I feel like scale mail is an odd choice given its stealth proficiency, when studded leather yields the same AC without the disadvantage. Although there's something to be said for the more menacing mental...
