Most of the time it won't matter, but it's probably best to spell it out just to avoid the question if any corner cases arise.

I'm guessing you already have one of these from the description in the blog, but for those who might not have seen it... http://www.amazon.com/Savage-Worlds-Customizable-Screen-S2P10002/dp/1930855591 This is excellent for building customized screens. I use the outside pockets to insert visual...

Half cover is +2 AC and Dex saves.

Regarding the "Stare down a hellhound" thing... Is it just me, or does this have the feel of an idiom?

I would argue that they were created because people want to replicate the types of magic found in novels that are limited by the (mystical) endurance of the caster and not his or her ability to memorize.

That's marketing for ya. And hell, entertainment, too. "Give the people (more of) what they want (or like, I suppose)." Hmm... my quote's applicability broke down somewhere. I'll have to get that fixed. Point being that from a sales perspective, the tried-and-true is much more attractive to...

I think maybe this was a subtle way of saying that in this edition, there are no "typical combinations" -- every character is unique. Anyway. Enjoying the blog. Thanks for taking the time to write 'em.

Now that's interesting. No sub-races? It's uncertain what the next page might hold, of course, but the ability score bonuses feel "complete."

Regarding Trinkets -- yeah, they are definitely little story-hook gifts to the DM. Very few of them didn't give me at least SOME ideas.

Bah. So much for my evil wizard's Misty Step/Fireball routine.

I wish their previews actually showed snippets of crunch instead of being (almost?) entirely fluff.

Slightly off-topic, but I don't think that's fair to say. FR isn't exactly core, since the Big 3 are setting agnostic. It's just the setting of their first few adventures.

This is the first 5E art I'm not a fan of. I like the CONCEPT behind the piece, I'm just not enthused about the brushstrokes being so plainly visible. It seems messy and unclear instead of the crispness I've grown used to. ETA: Looks like they've gone with the 4E fluff.

I just run it RAW. It's never been an issue and I don't feel like it really slows things down at all. I usually just jot the numbers on whatever sheet of scrap paper is on hand.

It would have to be, if the document is to support all levels of play. Maybe not all at once, though.

Nope, that's the plan.

I like her. I've never seen the appeal of bearded dwarven ladies (outside of potential comical effect a la Discworld), but I guess tastes differ. Regardless, she continues the theme of non-sexualized strong women that we've seen throughout the art of this edition (so far!). That can't be a...

Dragonborn and Tiefling in the PHB. That's gonna make some people mad.

Just learn the spells well enough to off-the-cuff it. Or swap out with spells you know. But maybe that's easier for me than for most people. My mind just works that way (the memorization angle).

Interesting... A big change in concept, IMO.
