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

    Clarifications: - I mean he believes THE gods - Helm, Moradin, Mystara, etc. - are not truly 'gods', but very (very, very, keep going) powerful beings. - No confusion that his patron clearly isn't a god; I was talking about THE gods of the Forgotten Realm. - I've typically played that every...

    D&D 5E (2014) Legends & Lore 8/4/14: Here Comes the Player's Handbook

    Pretty sure Urchin is the red herring - I mean, who ever heard of a background as an echinoderm? 'Well, I used to be a spiny thing living in the sea, but then I became a rogue... still plenty of poking people, but less getting eaten by starfish.'

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

    Hopefully without getting into a debate on the distinctions between the two.... [EDIT: The words 'alatrism' - refusing to worship a god, and 'maltheism' - questioning whether a being is worthy of worship regardless of its divine status have been introduced later in the thread. These are clearly...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wizard with 20 CON and the Durable feat

    Right? Because the only way that's relevant is if they actually meant roll, not result. :erm:

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling rogue sniping from the the second rank

    Bolding mine. You do realize that the portion of your statement which I bolded directly contravenes the wording of Naturally Stealthy, right? I mean, it specifically states that a Lightfoot Halfling can attempt to hide behind a larger creature. If you want to remove that ability from the game...

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

    I hope you're right about that, but I've only given this thread a brief glans.

    D&D 5E (2014) Knowledge: Nobility and Local?

    As someone with a B.S. in Wildlife Biology who always went for the geography sections of Trivial Pursuit first, yes - yes, I am. :p

    For now this is using the alpha info.

    D&D 5E (2014) Knowledge: Nobility and Local?

    To me this sounds like a 'you're dropped into a world you've never seen' situation, a la the D&D cartoon. Which is fine - plenty of great campaigns work that way. If, however, my character is expected to have been born & raised in the world in which he's adventuring, then I would surely expect...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wizard with 20 CON and the Durable feat

    Dear WotC: STOP using the words 'roll' & 'total' interchangeably. I've seen discussions drag on just this long for the very same point of confusion when trying to parse the minimum damage rule from 3.5. NO! BAD DEVS! NO XP! ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) A bard walks into a bar

    I have to wonder if those bards understood they could sing AND attack? Particularly the one who claimed they weren't sure how long the fight would last - um, it wouldn't matter, just keep singing while you're swinging!

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the splatbooks to come be theme-based or class/race based?

    My preference would be for theme books. Some of my favorite 3.5 splats were the 'environment' series (Frostburn, Stormwrack, etc.) & the 'heroes' series (Heroes of Honor & the other one). I do think trying to do both theme & class-focused books is NOT a good idea, at least from what I saw in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Barbarian preview!

    I think he meant Boo was the totem warrior barbarian?

    D&D 5E (2014) Barbarian preview!

    I don't think those are chaps. I think it's all one piece, with quilted padding along the inseam for cushioning while riding a mount.

    D&D 5E (2014) First graphics error in PHB found?

    Me too! Something I'll definitely have to throw into my homemade character sheets. :)

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

    I'd say it's a matter of perspective. What I've seen from the preview class charts vs. 'Tome of Forbidden Knowledge' class charts is a few minor tweaks, but no wholescale deletions, additions, or replacements of class features. Likewise the feat lists are nearly identical (I think it's one...

    Please, someone xp just for almost making me LOL at work.

    D&D 5E (2014) First graphics error in PHB found?

    Yay, thank you! I was looking at the collected previews thread here, which apparently uses a different image.

    D&D 5E (2014) First graphics error in PHB found?

    [Edit: False alarm! This is not the thread you were looking for! I was simply viewing a preview image that had cut off the warlock's class icon. All is good!] A funny thing I've noticed on the previews we've seen so far - they seem to have class icons. - Bard preview, 1st page, notice the...
