Clever! I had faith that the designers didn't make such a obvious error, but I'm not a big multiclasser, so that option didn't occur to me. Thanks, Merric!

A Sorcerer doesn't get metamagic until 3rd level. They can't do anything with sorcery points at 2nd level except cash in 2 points for a 1st level spell. So effectively, they have 4 1st level spell slots at 2nd level, and that's it. Shouldn't they have have just listed 2nd level as having 4 1st...

The back of both of mine state "Printed in USA." The one I've had since WPN release does have some ink that appears faded, and it smudged when I wiped a tiny spot of water. The other one just arrived and hasn't been handled yet.

There's a lot of replies to the FB post that provided this character sheet that are filled with rage and gnashing of teeth regarding this being a Fighter with low Dex, specifically Dex lower than Charisma. It's clear that most of those posters haven't been following the play test. Regardless...

That is the first piece of 5E art I don't like. At all.

In the article linked at the beginning of the ICv2 interview, it states that the products will be available two weeks early at WPN stores. That's 3 July for the Starter and 8 Aug for the PHB. So... The PHB will be available before GenCon if that's correct.

My guess: We'll see an announcement from WotC today. They likely told Amazon (and other outlets) that the products would be announced Mon, May 19. Amazon took that to mean 12:01 am (and why wouldn't they?... they just secured my preorders.) Of course, WotC is thinking "we'll make a big deal...

I really thought there'd be an official announcement this past Thurs or Fri, since we're 60 days from a Jul 15 release date. I find it strange that a product being released less than two months from now hasn't been announced. Here's hoping for something on Monday!

I'll offer a dissenting opinion regarding character creation in a starter set: I don't think it belongs. Character creation is one of the more intensive parts of the game. I think people should learn to play the game first and become comfortable with the rules. Then they can learn to make a...

How do I unsee that?

I think we will see the the combat math ('to hit' numbers) scale, but in an indirect fashion. Rather than gaining +X to hit per level, which only affects one aspect of game play, I think we will see ability increases. A +2 to STR yields a +1 to hit, as well as a +1 to everything STR related. I...

There's plenty of resources to manage. Short and long rests aren't automatic. Deny them healer kits and they can't spend Hit Dice. Deny them long rests and they can't replenish Hit Dice or Hit Points.

I'm pretty sure that no matter how many times you can claim advantage, you still just have 'advantage.' That advantage can be offset by a single disadvantage. Is that right? I'm fine with that (and I like that best.) But I can hear the arguments: "But I have 3 advantages. You need 3...

There's lots of threads about recovering full HP in one long rest. There's a glaring assumption in every single one of them: people are assuming that a long rest is free, automatic, and may be invoked by players at any time. I think that's a very big (and invalid) assumption. If the PCs choose...

They didn't leave space in the play test rules for (+ level modifier.) Everywhere it says how to make a check or attack, it mentions to add things like ability modifier, class feature, skill, spell, etc., but there is no mention of level. I think the new model is: characters improvement is...

Here's my post from another thread: I wish your poll was a 1-5 scale rather than yes/no. If so, I'd vote 4. I like what they're trying to do and I understand the thought behind the design, but maybe it can be improved a bit. Maybe something like: each time you are reduced to 0 HP or less, you...

I'm mostly on board with recovering all HP during a long rest. To paraphrase the Hit Points description on p.12, ultimately HP represent the ability to avoid a direct hit that causes injury or trauma that could result in death. After 8 hrs rest, the wounded warrior has recovered from the...

Ugh, triple post. 3G connection my @$$.

Double post, sorry

STill have to sign up and wait for an email, which may or may not have the same faulty link I'm still waiting for my second email...
