My personal experience ( as dming for a moon Druid for multiple sessions, as well as being a pc along side one for multiple sessions, as well as playing one for just a couple sessions).... It really isn't over shadowing of others and I kind of scratch my head when I see others talk about it...

Chris hardwick Sam witwicker (sp? The guy who plays the vampire on the American version of being human) Steven Colbert Also (I'm pretty sure .....) Joseph Gordon-levit made a comment in some interview about having played d&d when he was younger but didn't know that anyone still played the game...

Thanks! I'll read it over and see what can be used with some reflavoring. Thanks! I was avoiding too much background to keep the post from being too long. But the gist of the campaign is this: some high level criminals escaped, and each PC has some personal connection to one of the convicts...

My players stay out. You hear me? My players stay out. So... the PCs are on the verge of needing to infiltrate a crime syndicate and need to find and confront its leader. So far all I have in mind is a very difficult skills challenge as a way to narrate/abstractly go through the...

I agree with the general premise that it gets less useful at later levels, a couple random situational things... Sometimes (magical or not) bludgeoning damage is important, can't do that with beast forms that are mainly piercing and slashing. the other offensive cantrips are ranged, this is...

Are you sure about that? I Recall looking thus up before when picking spells for my Druid and it was an action to cast and an action to attack with, and you can only take one action... And there was a clause in there about 'on a later round you can attack' Anyway, I'm away from books now so...

Looking over this thread I think the main advantage for shillelaghs is the fact that it is for melee while other attack cantrip are not. So for circle of land Druids that may not have strong wild shape attacks (esp at early levels when this spell is still on par with the others) but find...

you are now entering the twilight zone ( do do doo do, do do doo do .....) I have to wait til the night when the kids are out or asleep to watch such things :(

So youre saying that you stopped worrying about balance and just focused on giving your players a 'happy ending' (if you know what I mean and I think you do ;) ) *ducks and runs* ... Bad joke, nothing to see here. Move along.

If ( well, 'when') prestige classes get a 5e equivalent..... I like prestige classes to be more story oriented rather than game mechanics. But I understand my viewpoint is limited. That said, I think a great way to incorporate prestige classes is to make them similar to 5e backgrounds. So maybe...

So, what race and class and gender and difficulty level? Anything fun that you found that you want to share but put it in spoiler tags.... For me, playing human, Mage, male, on normal difficulty. As for amusing bits for me, I'm finding iron Bulls personality more smudging than I thought I...

I meant average party level, but yes I understand your point. I also understand your reasoning about eventually catching up. But I still disagree that it's reasonable based on my experiences at public play tables where first levels are in a session along side 4th levels. The first level...

"Dragon age inquisition" just came out and has sucked away many hours of my late nights before bed this past week :-)

Personally I'd start the new pc at the current party level. Always at level 1 will become super harsh when the rest of the party is at, say, level 10. But some other options to consider.. -Your new character comes at at your dead character's level minus 1 -your new character comes in at the...

( only skimmed the thread, apologies if I'm missing a point) My group has a house rule... When rolling initiative you can at that moment decide what initiative up to your init roll you go on. In this way, the Wizards in the party often put thier initiative for after the bbeg and the rogue puts...

You could use shillelagh as mentioned above, but also, I *believe* ( away from books, speaking from memory) when you use an improvised weapon the dm may say a weapon that it is close to. Many improvised weapons ( table legs, or anything that is bat like) could be considered like a club. Thus...

I realize you were pointing it out for the joke there, but I believe* that the resistance rule says to apply resistance after all modifiers have already been added/subtracted. So it'd be (20d6-100)/2. * I am speaking from memory and away from my books right now, additionally I'm not very...

If I am understanding your suggestion correctly, That would not be worthy of a feat... +5 to passive perception is what you get if you have advantage on active perception. So really what the feat would give you, the way I understand what you wrote, is simply advantage on perception checks...

What gilladian just said ....

While I don't have a problem with rolling stats in of itself, what I don't like is the player problems that it has the potential to bring. Either the people who always seem to have the awesome godlike stats that they rolled at home before the game, or the player who will roll in front of the...
