The thing is a familiar summoned by the spell is not a real imp. It is a spirit in the form of an imp, and that spirit could be celestial, fey, or infernal in nature. So you could summon a celestial spirit in the form of an imp, while you have a pact with a fey lord. But yes I guess somewhere...

No not at all. What it means is that instead of 6 hours sleeping and 2 hours of light activity during a long rest, you have 4 hours of trance and 4 hours of light activity. Long rests for everyone are 8 hours. You can only take one long rest in any 24 hour period. Sage Advice "Trance" as...

Isn't a partisan just a fancy name for a spear, give your gnome a spear and call it a partisan.

Page 272 DMG looking for Tumble combat option, Overrun and Shove Aside also work.

From the online basic rules, away from my books at the moment.

Golarion is a huge kitchen sink setting, and most of the AP's are set in vastly different locations and environments. The only two I know of that are anywhere near Sandpoint is the first Rise of the Runelords and the Jade Regent one starts in Sandpoint but very quickly leaves the area and...

There seems to be some Greyhawk news. http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/05/08/greyhawk-coming-soon/

They do if they want to keep tying them into the Neverwinter MMO that is well set in Neverwinter and the swordcoast region of of the Forgotten Realms. But it does look like Greyhawk might be getting some love. http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/05/08/greyhawk-coming-soon/

I can see a few options not sure about the balance of them but I guess trial and error at individual tables would see what works. 1. Have Inspiration work like luck points gained from the Lucky feat, they allow you to roll an additional die and choose from all those rolled. So it turn...

1. No Dueling won't work with a versatile weapon being used in two hands. 2. Other good feats would be Athlete (Kip-up), Martial Adept, or Sentinel. Have you thought about using short swords, for using two swords at once, or going with two-handed sword to mimic a larger katana?

The Angry DM just put up a very good article about using inspiration in different ways. http://theangrygm.com/take-the-suck-out-of-inspiration/ After reading that I am seriously thinking of changing the way I use inspiration in my games.

My bards tend to not be very musical at all they don't need to sing or play instruments to use magic. My bards are masters of magic, true name magic, the power of single words, think Skyrim. From pg 57 PHB. In the worlds of D&D, words and music are not just vibrations of air, but vocalizations...

You have done this for a long time and through going to conventions, running the ENnies, and in general being around people in the industry you must have some real good memories of time spent gaming or talking games with a few giants in the industry, can you tell us about a couple of those...

Before you introduce a social based class, the system should have a social combat mechanic. Social scene, everyone rolls initiative. There is social damage, and social hit points. The side that drops to 0 social HP first looses the scene. There are a few rpgs that do stuff like that, but I...

This part isn't exactly in line with the rules of the game. From Find Familiar Spell. You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or...

They can always choose not to take the readied action and ignore the trigger. "When the trigger occurs, you can either take your reaction right after the trigger finishes or ignore the trigger. Remember that you can take only one reaction per round."

Fire immunity in 3e works just the same as fire immunity in 5e, the creature is immune to all fire damage. If you play very closely to rules as written, it doesn't matter what edition you are playing. Every edition of D&D, yes even 4th, had Rule Zero and gave explicit authority to the DM to...

Reality has pretty much nothing to do with D&D. In a real world a giant ball of fire or bolts of lightning would do tons of damage to surrounding areas. Something the size of a dragon, kraken, or titan wouldn't be bothered by a dagger. If something that big wanted you dead it would just step...

The first part is missing from your quote The DM determines who might be surprised. If neither side tries to be stealthy, they automatically notice each other. Otherwise, the DM compares the Dexterity (Stealth) checks of anyone hiding with the passive Wisdom (Perception) score of each creature...

In this case I wouldn't use surprise for the heroes, possible surprise for the bandits if they hide in the room and wait to ambush them if they have time to do so would depend on the DM and how long it took to pick the lock and break down the door. But if neither side tries to hide or act with...
