    D&D 5E (2014) Why no 16-18s allowed in Point Buy?

    I've had players that if they didn't roll something awesome and they were nit allowed to Errol, basically they did not take the character seriously. Either having him act like an idiot, or with a clear death wish, etc. overall just becoming a disruption to the game. So it can just be easier for...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e Basic Set: Things that make you go "what?!"

    I also find it odd. That said the reasons I can find so far for the distinction is that tool proficiency is more easily acquired as is presented in the current basic rules ( for instance, you can gain tool proficiency by training in downtime, but you can't with skills), and 'flavor wise' tools...

    D&D 5E (2014) Read Magic?

    Given such a spells limited utility/use in what has been released so far for the basic, it probably seemed unnecessary for now but I am positive it'll show up in a fuller spell publication. I don't speak with any sort of authority. Just a hunch.

    D&D 5E (2014) Saving Throws design choice

    Sounds like an easy to implement house rule if it becomes an issue in play for those that like house rules

    Developing class-based XP awards

    To answer your last question first, I personally would not use such a module since it promotes party members trying to effectively fight each other to get the last kill if fighters getting bonus for the kill, etc. and it would make different levels of orcs within the party, and I'm not sure the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Basic rules and printing question.

    This is entirely a guess, but new stuff will be additions ( ie when they add monsters etc) but errata will be done directly within the document.( and maybe a summary of ' these were the changes made' so you could probably reprint a particular page or so. But, again, that's entirely a guess.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e Basic Set: Things that make you go "what?!"

    Personally am not surprised that illusion saves as wisdom based, that's what I expected. I'm speaking entirely from memory, but I believe an example for things that require int saves were things that attack the brain, like a save vs a feeble mind spell. With that basis as the given example...

    D&D 5E (2014) Official D&D Basic Discussion Thread

    Agreed, since some tables can resolve it with table agreement, I think a FAQ should suffice to address it for those that want guidance for their table's ruling.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e Basic Set: Things that make you go "what?!"

    Or be an elf ( fey ancestors trait). While it does vary, typically there is usually one elf in the group I play so at least the whole party wouldn't be out.... The elf can run away and survive to make his own new party as the leader ;-) a very diabolical plan indeed.... Just like an elf.

    Legend of korra book 3

    I didn't see a thread for this apologies if it is a duplicate.. But anyone catch the korra book 3 premier last week ( I just saw it in my Dvr), it had the first 3 episodes. For some reason I'm enjoying it more than book 2 so far.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set Resting

    I could be remembering wrong but I thought the designers said they weren't trying to quibble over every corner case situation and just let tables /dms make their rulings since accounting for every corner case would just add to rules bloat. And this is for just one level that will zoom by. That...

    D&D 5E (2014) Giving 5th Edition a look but...

    With d&d rule sets it's typically helpful to revisit a rule set later just to see how it's evolved if the initial release didn't appeal to you. As an example ( not trying to beat a dead horse, just using it as an example since it's the example that you mentioned) in 4e the initial fighter...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Basic PDF - 3 MB (They're released!)

    In my sleep-deprived mind I read that as "rabbit fans" ( guess that could mean we're cute fuzzy and plentiful, or that we are like Monty Python killer rabbits ;-) )

    According to a wotc tweet yesterday, this should be reposted on YouTube sometime today for those that missed it. It isn't posted as of yet, but It's still very early in wotc's timezone.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set: Except 7

    A random observation, not meant as good or bad, just interesting to me... As per the previewed character sheets, the designers did settle on a defined skill list ( rather than open ended ability scores that may get bonuses if you have some associated skill), but the attacks for the nothin refer...

    D&D 5E (2014) So why's the spell's saving throw and target in the text block?

    Because of the way certain players I game with are, I'd prefer it in the header way rather than in the text block. That said, they chose to do it this way (I could make guesses why but their real reasons will probably remain a mystery to us public people :-) so will just learn to deal with it...
