This is something that I was thinking about the other day regarding fudging at another level. When you create an encounter you create it towards the players/characters ability. But by doing so, a DM interrupts the flow of the world by creating little quest pockets that the rest of the world is...

IME, people that know math, or don't know math, don't always know D&D. I am certain Mary Poppins, would never fudge. But if you step in time on the rooftops of London long enough, even Mrs. Practically Perfect in Every Way will end up with soot on her face.

When playing, I prefer a DM that almost never fudges.

I might try and play around with fractal mapper. Tks for the idea. innerdude, Mea Culpa. It was not my intention to strawman your position. I have been using the GIMP for over ten years and photoshop cs5 for about three years. GIMP is not created to replace photoshop but it has always been the...

I use the GIMP for my hobbies and professionally. Saying it is a casual toy is BS. It was mentioned before. If you go to Cartographer's Guild you will get some real advice on map making. List of Mapping Software LINK

Spells fit in the kinda discrete zone. My magic missiles often look like dwarven forge hammers when they fly off to hit their target unerringly.

The poll seems to showcase the many playstyles of DnD and its root in abstract definitions. My preference is to create a concept: Martin "El Bruce" McBanner, Doctor, Avenging Champion. Then I choose whatever race/class that supports that concept with mechanical features. The concept lives...

Yeah, right. "Hello, my name is Michael Jordan, I am a 19th level Basketball Player and a 1st level Baseball Player. I also sell underpants."

The Grand Druid is the Warlock of the Wyrmling Woods. All Challengers of Gaiea know this.

I player wants you to retcon 2 sessions so he can change his class. And, Your player asked if he could kill his character so he could make a new one. ... Let him. Don't let his actions delete the group's progress. No sense in making the rest of the group pay for his....uh....behavior...

There is enough red in this guide to repudiate itself. Can we please move this guide to the dumpster. EDIT: Its a dead pan snarker sorta thing.

"Fear me, mighty Red Adult Dragon, I am Fenthor, 2nd Level Cleric/14th Level Fighter with 250 hit points and killer DPR. I am here to bring your ruin!"

I pity the player that forbids me mess with them during a short rest... :angel::devil:

Tights. A warlord would not be caught dead in them. Conceptually, I can create a Bard or a Warlord using a monk as the class. Mechanically, the bard uses musical magic, long and short rest features, and a Warlord does not exist in 5E so I don't know.

We had a pretty good discussion a little while ago about ways to generate abilities. HERE is the link. As far as favorite I would have to go with either High/Lo Pair or 6x6 Grid. My least favorite is standard array.

WoTC, please take me to Ravenloft on board a Hammership. Here is an image of a shiver of them, in case you forgot:

You win this thread. This month's issue needed to be released back in the mid 80s when people were looking for a reason to burn down D&D.

I have just finished B6, The Veiled Society, and now we are moving into Sandboxing GAZ1. It was a great way to introduce new players to D&D. I also play a wild sorcerer in a homebrew world based off of Blake's Mythopoeia

As the edition ages, players will settle into the ranger. This thread kinda says that. I hope WoTC does not change the current ranger but I am okay if they experiment with another version. I play a lance wielding forest gnome deer riding beastmaster and everything is all right. The deer's AC is...

Extreme example agreed, but I find the philosophy is still flawed. Imagine telling a player that they should invest in 16 dex/wis because that is the best way to do it, and their first fight they take a dirt nap. THAT, is not an extreme example. It happens...a lot. It is harder to predict the...
