It was dark inside the building as Mozzy and Jer entered through an alleyway door and walked through the warehouse proper. If there was somewhere in particular they were supposed to be headed, they had neglected to ask. They didn’t really think about that part before, and the vast space dragged...

What I've been doing is combining magic items together. So instead of giving out a Sentinel Shield and a Pearl of Power, maybe give them out as one item. Or instead of a Medallion of Thought and a Ring of Mind Shielding, combine them into a single item. Another thing is to give a slight power...

Three-Nine-Eight looked toward the old warehouse, staring unblinking, his eyes slowly scanning across the crumbling bricks and creeping razorvine that made up the exterior. Every once in a while he would pause on one of the dirty blackened or boarded up windows that dotted the rough surface...

This is the weather die I have, but it's a 6 sider. I use it often! http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/206631

The attack in the bar was swift, professional, and the onslaught seemed to go down before anyone knew what was happening. The Godsman on the floor was being dragged toward the staircase while the two men at the bar covered the room, with the last one of the remaining cutters at the table getting...

Just to make you feel old, someone who was 12 when Final Fantasy VII was released is now 30 years old.

Session Two - The Mad House A thick smog rolled over Steelarm Street, drifting down straight from the Great Foundry’s iron stacks themselves, ash gently falling downward like flakes of black and gray snow. Here in the Lower Ward, the Speckled Rat, a small underground (literally) bar, was a...

Intermission - Session One Commentary And so went my first session. This was mostly setting up the feel and theme of the campaign, and of Sigil in particular. It was a blast to run, and it made a fine introduction and "tour" of Sigil. I was going for a sort of noir feel, and I think the game...

Huh, you're right. I could have sworn it was an either or thing. Was it ever in the playtest, or am I just totally making that up?

That would mean that a wizard who opted to use a material component pouch instead of a focus at character creation would not get the benefit from the item, though.

For what it's worth, there are still rules in the DMG stipulating that you have to have a spell equivalent known to make a magic item. It says, specifically, you "must be able to cast any spell that the item can produce." So, for example, you need magic missile on your spell list/spells known to...

When it comes to artificer spells, there are two important things to remember. First, the actual artificer list of spells is quite small, only affects objects, and generally takes a minute to cast. They're helpful, but they aren't flashy. This would probably be represented in 5e as the half...

I disagree. On Point #1, we have warlocks that have few spells but go up to 9th level, but I wouldn't call them full casters. A little out of the box thinking can easily fix whatever problem you might have there. Remember, an artificer can use any spell in the game under limited conditions. Any...

As I recall, that's how it worked in NWN, and you could even open the single player campaign in the toolset. I am going to be incredibly disappointed if I can't do the same in SCL.

Okay, but in the non-academic world the best cantrip for damage is fire bold (attack, 2d10 fire damage at 5th level), and chaos bolt (attack 3d8 fire/acid/cold/lightning/??? damage) still comes out slightly ahead. So, its technically better to cast chaos orb than fire bolt with the caveat that...

I do agree with you on this.

Not sure what spells you're looking at, but Chromatic Orb does 3d8 damage, and it can be any energy type. While that may not be much better than fire bolt, it is still better Especially if you're fighting fiends.

I think you're misunderstanding. I'm not trying to solve the system through the artificer class or subclass. What I am saying is that you could not faithfully emulate the 3.5 Eberron Artificer in the current D&D 5e game as the rules stand right now without modifying the current crafting system...

I'm going to need you to clarify here. We are talking about a class dedicated to crafting magic items as their major reason for existing in a system where scribing a scroll of stoneskin takes 200 days. And you're saying that's just fine?

I disagree. It gives monetary values that often have no relation to the power of the item being crafted, gives no specifics on how to craft other than DM's discretion (maybe specific locations, or items, make it up!), and takes so long that it isn't worth the half a page they actually gave to it...
