Giving sorcerers the ability to use a spear without penalty would make them WAY overpowered. Clearly.

That's it. Apparently the items were needed for some of the organized play adventures.

Welcome to the boards! You have the power. Do what you want. Just be prepared to change things in case the law of unforeseen consequences rears its ugly head. I think some of the concerns voiced above are valid, but as far as obstacles go, they are all easily overcome. The only one that...

They've said in the past that the fixes will be less "Here's the fixed Ranger" and more "Here's an optional Ranger for those who want it." /shrug Take that for what it's worth.

Mine throws dragons! OK, confession, I'm the DM.

Poll time! I've never given it any thought.

Oathbreaker seems pretty strong. I really want to see the rules for adding class abilities to monsters now. I mean, I can kludge it up, but I'd like to know how the official rules roll.

Assuming short rests are an option. In the middle of a tense situation where bedding down for an hour is not an option, the Life Domain cleric's healing can be a godsend (yay, puns!).

I'm sure it's possible to break the game to some degree, but I honestly haven't had any trouble with certain characters stealing the spotlight -- at least, not for very long.

And then they (invisibly) run 100mph toward their target.

Are you carrying 10 copies of the PHB with you?

Yes to both.

I'm pretty sure you don't. Not by the RAW, anyway.

It's not perfect, but that's kind-of what an Index is.

Both questions are kind of the same question. ALL dice that don't specifically say they aren't doubled on a crit, are doubled on a crit. 1) Greatsword critical: 4d6 2) 2d6 from weapon, 6d6 from Sneak Attack.

I don't think that is in any way a given for Skyscraper. This feels like a classic case of playstyle difference. You might not have fun playing the negative-stat-in-all-but-his-primary-ability character, but I've known many who would. Granted, they're all also proponents of OSR, so maybe it's...

... I'm not sure why you went with vestigial limbs there... Regardless, I think we can both agree that "being healthy" is by far the best alternative within the confines of the metaphor.

Pitfalls? Heck, I've had nothing but a smooth ride since we switched to 5E. I might warn you that early levels (1&2 in particular) can be swingy as all hell (a la Rocket Tag), but you probably gathered that just by looking at low-level monster stat blocks. Bugbear, I've got my eye on you.

Whatever your feelings on Dungeonscape and its usefulness to you personally, I think this cancellation is another black eye for our hobby and its most recognizable game.

Alright, I've had a read. Contents: * A 3E-style template for Headless Horsemen. All in all, I like the more in-depth roadmap that these kinds of templates give you. I'd love if the MM had a template for zombies, for example. There's some interesting stuff in there, including hellfire and...
