Finally, an in-game justification for why halflings are extinct. :p

To be very clear: Summoning the weapon is the feature, not attacking with it. I know you're "there" as far as understanding, I'm just highlighting the bits that make it so.

*sigh* The one year I can't make it to GenCon...

Now I'm hoping Neoghi are in there somewhere.

This link: http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/excerpt_sphinx ... has an image of the gynosphinx.

You can finally make a giant turtle large enough to have a city on his back who isn't (by virtue of his huge number of hit dice) also a grand master of martial arts. ... but why would you want to? :confused:

Seems correct by my limited understanding. How are you interpreting it?

Here's what I think based on the info we have so far. There are various "gauges" you can turn to fine tune your monster. Turn up the HD dial, you get a creature with more Hit Points (in other words, a longer battle). Turn up the CR dial and you get a monster with a higher proficiency bonus...

In my experience... roughly never. I played in one 2E campaign back in the mid-90s that STARTED at level 24, but I don't think that counts.

I want my bard to be wearing one of those one-man-band get-ups.

I would read it as the opposite. "Lair action" and "effect" are two different things, by my reading. So it can use another lair action, but it can't use the same effect.

I think in two years' time we'll be looking back on this thread and shaking our heads. I suspect that with the flat math, a horde of skeletons is going to be outright nasty, especially if they all get +20 hit points and +6 proficiency to their attacks above and beyond what they've got innately.

We also have a legendary half-dragon in HotDQ (although with conditions). I don't think every legendary creature will have a lair.

Monster hit points! Some simple low-level monsters now take several hits to defeat. Skeletons, I'm looking at you.

I will third the halfling art thing. Ugh. It isn't even that the art is terrible (it isn't), it's the decision to make them proportioned like... I dunno, characters from Charlie Brown. Pleasant surprise? I'm going to go with the spell list. There are a lot of new spells there (particularly...

To the first bit: I will continue with the story. Luckily I have three weeks to prepare suitable hooks and encounters to get the new PCs up to the level they were at. Usually I'd let them roll up new characters at a higher level, but we're experimenting with bringing in all new characters at...

How is it just 3? I would think 8ish.

Now I just need to figure out how to give it 20 levels of barbarian.

Called it! /jig

By the time he can afford full plate he can probably just cast levitate and tie a rope around his waist and the other party members can pull him around like a balloon.
