    D&D 5E (2014) Atheism/Agnosticism in 5e?

    Yeah, I imagine there are plenty of folks who grudgingly "worship" a god under duress given that knowledge. When I have run FR I always ditch the Wall of the Faithless since I find it unpleasant/unjust. The same is true of all the games I've played in what is ostensibly the FR setting; it's a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Atheism/Agnosticism in 5e?

    There is a specific faction in the planecscape setting that believes that the "gods" are just very powerful beings and should not be worshiped. So this idea/character possibility has been part of the game since 2nd edition. There is nothing in the 5e rules that demands god worship so it really...

    D&D 5E (2014) Was Tempest an odd choice for PC-centric domain?

    Death seems like an obvious domain to add. I am a bit surprised that that wasn't included. Maybe it will be in the DMG as you noted.

    D&D 5E (2014) WHOH - Fighters get 4 attacks. Barb/Paladin gets 2 and all else gets 1???

    Higher level paladins get automatic extra radiant damage on all their attacks plus a variety of smite spells and damaging channel divinity options. They are not going to have any trouble keeping up with the damage of a fighter.

    Egyptian theme Ravenloft adventure with a gypsy woman?

    Somebody remade Touch pf Death as a mod for the Legend of Grimlock if any of you have that game.

    Stigma and Parental backlash

    Oh, I know. I have a PhD in sociology. :)

    Stigma and Parental backlash

    Most employment in the US is "at will." You can terminate a job for any reason you like as long as you meet the terms of the employment contract and it isn't because of membership in a protected class (i.e. discrimination based on race, sex, religious affiliation, sexual orientation (in some...

    Stigma and Parental backlash

    Can't know if it is selection bias (the types of people who play d&d aren't likely to...) or d&d is the cause without an experiment. But either way d&d obviously isn't harmful.

    LGBTQ characters in D&D

    Ok so it sounds like there is a good reason I didn't remember any coherent backstories for them. :cool:

    D&D 5E (2014) I can haz WILD MAGE and the first DRAGONBORN art?

    The dragon sorcerer entry finishes up on the top left of the page so I am guessing the dragonborn is supposed to be associated with that not necessarily the wild mage.

    LGBTQ characters in D&D

    I thought it was a cool thing to do but (as I haven't ever really paid much attention) I didn't realize that any iconics had stories at all. I thought it was just art. Did the D&D 3e iconics have back-stories?

    D&D 5E (2014) A Bit More on Subclasses from the Escapist

    The alpha PHB gives both medium armor proficiency and shields. And then a second attack at level 6. This does not seem overpowered in the slightest so I think there is a good chance that the final PHB will be the same.

    D&D 5E (2014) Differences between the Alpha and the final

    Making the bard insiration ability go from 1 ally to "up to 5 allies" would be a math/balance change. So it seems like it is quite possible.

    D&D 5E (2014) Differences between the Alpha and the final

    I hope they get this or something else because the alpha warlock seemed weak and actually quite boring....not much to do most of the time but spam eldritch blast.

    D&D 5E (2014) Legends and Lore July 28: Keeping it Classy

    I think they can certainly be combined effectively. A trasmutation wizard with 5 levels of eldritch knight fighter would be quite potent....based on the alpha document at least. That said I hope they did pump the EK up a bit and perhaps let it use some transmutation spells too...since flight and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Legends & Lore 7/21/14

    Do any feats actually give proficiency with saving throws? Or does that require multiclass?

    D&D 5E (2014) Lots Of Art (and some Warlock stuff)

    It is a nice piece. I think, and I mean this in the best possible way, that Klaus has gotten better over the years that I've seen his stuff posted here. And I imagine that the kind of money that comes with a commission from wizards for a core product allows an artist to sit down and really work...

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

    I'd love to see rules for creating half-races more generally.
