    D&D 5E (2014) I have something... THE TARRASQUE!

    I do, I do! Tarrasque?

    D&D 5E (2014) Rolling up a random race and class

    I got an elven ranger. Way to be cliche, dice!

    D&D 5E (2014) Unexpected TPKs

    I got in a long stretch of gaming this last weekend and wound up with two TPKs to show for it. Henceforth my players (and their characters) shall quiver in fear at the sight of the humble bugbear. TPK 1: "Let's raise an army of clearly trustworthy goblins and storm the bugbear's den with them...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting Gold for Higher Levels - 5th Edition

    That's probably fair. I try to be aware of when I'm doing such, but sometimes I slip up. I suppose we'll find out for certain one way or the other soon enough.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting Gold for Higher Levels - 5th Edition

    (1) Needs citation. Joking notation aside, what's your source on this? As of yet, we only have a single stand-alone adventure and the first part of a two-part adventure to use as a guideline. Unless I'm missing something, I can't help but think this is a straight-up assumption. We can expect...

    D&D 5E (2014) Egregious TPK retcon in Hoard of the Dragon Queen

    I feel like this encounter is being misrepresented. First off, the dragon is only half-interested in the attack in the first place. It wants to leave if given ANY justification. In fact, as written, the dragon leaves the field of battle after suffering only very minor injuries (I don't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting Gold for Higher Levels - 5th Edition

    Best I can tell, it is (missing, that is). But with the assumption of no required magic items, starting with more gold isn't strictly necessary. Just because you're 5th level doesn't necessarily mean you're swimming in wealth. If you find that unlikely, you can have players come up with their...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e niggles:- Multiclassing Spellcasters; Dragonborn Sorcerers; Tavern Brawler; Warlocks

    You don't actually become an eldritch Knight or arcane trickster until level 3.

    D&D 5E (2014) Consolidated list of "Finally" thread

    I thought about doing this, but the idea was too daunting! Kudos for having more fortitude than I do!

    D&D 5E (2014) Legendary Actions (from HotDQ download)

    In the monster appendix of the adventure itself there is an enemy with 2 legendary actions. Just as an FYI.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sweet! My BBEG's are immortal now!

    That's pretty much exactly why Manshoon is still around.

    D&D 5E (2014) First Legendary Monster!

    Do we think the change in hit dice size is due to moving up a size category?

    D&D 5E (2014) No update to Basic today?

    Split update? I can live with that.

    D&D 5E (2014) No update to Basic today?

    I am hopeful of an update today (the schedule is only going to get tighter moving into GenCon), but I won't REALLY need it for another week or two.

    D&D 5E (2014) Instant gratification versus saving money

    I'm planning on supporting my FLGS by purchasing multiple books today. But I'm blessed with disposable income, and I totally get how much money $20 is. Many of my friends have chosen Amazon for just that reason (hence the multiple books -- so they can borrow and jump in immediately).

    D&D 5E (2014) What monster are you hoping to see in the 5B update?

    I mean, they basically have to include them and Flfufmfphs(...f) for the wild magic sorcerers out there, right?

    D&D 5E (2014) Chapters/Indigo and the death of the FLGS

    While I'm a firm believer that you should never assume malice when stupidity is an equally valid explanation, it seems a little widespread for incompetence. But then, maybe I'm an optimist. :P

    D&D 5E (2014) What monster are you hoping to see in the 5B update?

    We should at least be guaranteed one shade of dragon, if the HotDQ spoilers are correct. They said they'd have all the monsters you'd need to run them in the Basic PDF, didn't they?
