    D&D 5E (2014) /Ragequit Rants

    We were told a certain page count for the MM but now wotc has just gone against that listing and changed the count. I was told something and expect that which I was told! Not these false promises! /rage quit

    Lost Mines of Phandelver Quest Cards? Come on in!

    If they are new players, as a dm I might say something like ' it is a good idea to take notes on the people you speak to, places you are going, or things you are asked to do' and then it actually has the potential to get the players to start talking together if they want just one person to do...

    D&D 5E (2014) The "tiefling" poll.

    There is no option for me to say this: I just don't care And if it gets used in my group, and someone wants it a way other than is presented we just change the fluff.

    D&D 5E (2014) Faction memberships in Lost Mine of Phandelver

    Not being familiar with the adventure, I would just say it's probably just hooks for future gaming. As far as membership, sure if they aren't exclusive then I guess you could belong to more than one. Some of them might be secret ( do people go around announcing that they are a zhent or Harper?)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Advantage in 5e combet

    Until such a time that further guidance is provided ( probably in the dmg) I would suggest based on what is written in the starter guide that advantage should come most of the time from a specific class ability or spell. Chap 7 in the start guide does talk about advantage being from spells or...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Exactly is Bounded Accuracy?

    Or to say it from the players perspective, it means that enemy defenses and task DCs will stay within certain ranges, not continue to increase with levels, allowing players to better ballpark what they are and aren't capable of. The game system math has to make assumptions about what range if...

    D&D 5E (2014) No stat minima for spells?

    While there is no minimum, casting high level spells without a high spell casting stat means your spell will be (relatively) easy to save against compared to other combatants of the same level who have higher spell casting stat.

    D&D 5E (2014) Holding a spell!

    This is not the first edition to allow it. For instance, 4th edition allowed it. But anyway yeah it foes allow for dome very cool cinematic moments :-)

    D&D 5E (2014) “Stealing tapestries doesn’t make you a better person, except…” - Yet Another D&D 5e Starter Set Unboxing Video

    FYI I could not see the link to the video until I tried quoting your post. Don't know if others are having the same problem

    D&D 5E (2014) Retraining (players, not characters)

    Minor point, reactions can be on your own turn as well..... ( I had to highlight that since it's one of those things I'd assume was not the case based on prior editions) ... But I think that would be such an extreme corner case scenario... Like you do something to trigger a reaction, then that...

    D&D 5E (2014) about to run 5e couple questions

    Disclaimer: no expert here just answering based on what I know from my read rough a so far. Also I'm on a tablet that keeps trying to autocorrect and doing weird spacing issues so I can't easily correct every Typeo. Apologies in advance 1) heavy armor causes disadvantage on stealth checks. If...

    D&D 5E (2014) Retraining (players, not characters)

    Yeah I had to make myself a quick cheat sheet to reference on the small differences that are close to older rules but I'd forget/assume in the newer rules.

    D&D 5E (2014) Poisoned condition (in basic)

    My guess is that it won't be a standardized condition as different creatures will have there own types of poison effects. So a listing will be with each monster. Or if thEre are some standard poisons the stand ones will be in the dmg and monster entries will reference particular poisons in there.

    D&D 5E (2014) Player's Handbook Races

    Some of those races haven't historically had sub races. So it'll be interesting to see if they make some or not for them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set spoilers?

    They have done an hour's worth of video running through the starter set ( warning i will spoil the story if you're planning to play rather than dm), supposedly they will continue further with more videos weekly. I'd post a link but can't look it up easily at the moment ( though their YouTube...

    D&D 5E (2014) Three cheers for Mearls and Co.!

    I have yet to play, but yay for many fun things that I can see in the rules by reading alone.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set pre-gens in PDF?

    Is someone with a twitter account willing to tweet mike mearls the question as to if they can release PDFs for download of the pregens for this adventure?

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you always max out your primary stat?

    "Always"? No. Depends on the character I want to play. I can see myself opting for feats for customization more often than not though ( unless playing a one shot rather than campaign style, in which case I'd probably just do stat bumps for simplicity of char gen)

    D&D 5E (2014) Losing Concentration

    (Off topic tangent) when I read the thread topic, all I could hear in my head was r.e.m. Singing " losing con-cent ration" to the tune of " losing my religion") Anyway, sorry, had to share. We now return you to you regularly scheduled thread already in progress ( end thread tangent)
