    After many sessions of play these might become ads or disads. Something like that always happens. Other topic: Just noticed that the elf wizard has only 1 hit point less than the 'sturdy' dwarven battle cleric. This feels off to me, I like my stereotypical elven wizard a little bit more...

    Hm, all this talk makes me think: They could rename the game back into AD&D. Advantages & Disadvantages. :) -YRUSirius

    If you are a cleric of St. Cuthbert (or Helm, Torm, Tyr or something) and you enter one of his temples, the clergy will turn around, point fingers, laugh at you and say: "Hah, get outa here, you losy cleric and join some druidic circle or something. You hippy." -YRUSirius

    D&D 5E (2014) Notes from the underground: a few opening thoughts about D&D Next or 5e.

    Rest assured that in real life you don't even need magic for that. Just let an ultimate fighter pummel you to near death and you will do nearly anything to make him stop and be able to befriend him instead. :lol: -YRUSirius

    Monsters with spell lists is not a good sign

    And some DMs still would have to look up how Sneak Attack works btw. It's the same with listing just the spells in the stat block and not their descriptions. -YRUSirius

    I'm miss some flavorful racial features for humans. I think they get +1 on all attributes but that seems rather bland. Why not something like a feature that gives an advantage to any roll you like 2 times a day (basically action points for humans)? -YRUSirius

    Cause you can still get killed? ;) -YRUSirius

    Abilities and Hit Points: Thoughts

    Again: This is not 3E, this is a NEW game. Don't extrapolate 3E expectations onto D&D Next. If the PCs try to trick the DM's world into a scheme for lotsa gold (that they clearly fairly won) the DM's world CAN and WILL trick back to try to clearly and fairly get its money back. I mean... where...

    Abilities and Hit Points: Thoughts

    You assume that the supply of gold will be a steady thing. This isn't 3E, this is a 'new' game, it's D&D Next. In a world where PCs can go anywhere and do anything, the world itself can go anywhere and do anything. If the PCs think of some ingenious scheme and score loot the DM and his...

    D&D 5E (2014) Armor in D&DNext

    Could this be 'fixed' by upping all heavy armor by +1 or +2 AC? -YRUSirius

    But juggling your gp resource is a long-term resource management aspect? -YRUSirius

    An attacker IS kinda like invisible to a blind defender so one could argue that the attacker has attack advantage because he's invisible to his target. Thoughts? -YRUSirius

    Is this... a bad thing? Nearly every computer video game does this and it does seem to work for them? -YRUSirius

    Long Rest - Regain Full Hit Points

    I think I'm okay with full hp after resting. Just because you get back ALL hp does not mean your wounds are healed. You might still have that broken leg, but as a tough adventurer you just press on to finish that goblin tribe that caused it. :p -YRUSirius

    The spell attack bonuses on the wizard elf (+6; should be +5 = 3 Int + 2 magical attacks) and the human cleric (+4; should be +6 = 4 Wis + 2 magical attacks) seem off. Did I miss something? -YRUSirius

    I don't think that this is necessarily bad: If you really want to challenge your PCs just throw more monsters at them for the Diablo feel. :) Another little tidbit: The pregen clerics cast 1 level 1 spell less than the wizard (2 instead of 3). And no ability increases within the first 3 levels...

    Btw no boxes for 8th and 9th level spells on the character sheets. ;) -YRUSirius

    You're talking about the total hit points. I'm talking about the hit dice. ;) -YRUSirius
