Skill proficiency breakdown: STR: 1 INT: 5 CHA: 4 (Total for the 'throw-away saves': 10) vs. DEX: 3 CON: 0 WIS: 5 (Total for the 'meaningful saves': 8) That's so close that I can't really see where they've succeeded in making proficiency usage offset the save usage if that was indeed their...

Considering how many months it took us to find a DM, that's not likely. San Francisco is such a paradox of 'tons of geeks, tons of gamers, DMs... hello, DMs...?' *crickets* :(

Of course - watches which almost always fail Perception/Listen checks, so that we then lay asleep for 2-3 rounds while the fighting rages around us because that's just how our DM rolls.

In our campaign, we activily fear sleeping. Seriously, every near-TPK we've had has been wandering monsters in the night - the owlbears that had 4/5 of the party grappled, the gnolls that coup-de-graced my character (but didn't quite kill him... probably because I'd been grousing to the DM that...

I believe so, & expect the use of Athletics to shove an opponent prone & then follow up with all attacks having Advantage to be a popular playstyle (more so beyond two attacks, I'd suspect, unless dealing with an opponent who's proving rather difficult to hit).

Actually, it should be 'koo-duh-grahs' not 'koo-day-grahs'. The pronunciation 'day' would indicate the spelling 'des', as in 'Coup des Grace'. (Putting my 1 skill point in Lingusitics (French) to good use.)

Please DM me. Please. *offers forth the sacrificial d20s*

Thanks for the info. I try to xp around (xp slut that I am), but some posters seem to just consistently hit my funny/informative bone.

Someone xp this, please. BTW, can't find it in the FAQ anywhere - what IS the limit on xpicizing? How much 'spread it around' before I can xp the same person again?

And that's the 8 score.

Ah, but the Encounters game night is Wednesday, so that would mean a 2 week delay. Also, I'm not sure if the new campaign will allow for adjustments or just use pregens.

Forgive the slight thread hijack, but I just discovered my FLGS runs Encounters & am thinking of getting involved. I also found, however, that the current campaign ends this week - eep! Does your experience with Encounters suggest it would be worthwhile for me to attend this week (I mean, if...

CDO - please place the letters in proper alphabetical order.

Hmm. My current 3.5 campaign is running at anywhere from 50-75% of the DMG's wealth by level guidelines. Furthermore, the DM rolls to see what is available when we go shopping for magic items (& I'm pretty sure we've been told we won't be able to buy anything beyond a +1, though we haven't...

I agree. Ugly, twisted, & clearly up to no good. These do not look like 'joke' monsters; their only punchline is the line where they punch you in the face. My only (minor) critique would be a desire for more individual variation between them. I like the idea of goblins as being creatures so...

That would be two words. You'd have to use the single-word command, and let the DM decide whether they did it with the nearest target or specifically focused their attentions on you.

Could someone xp this for me, please?

So what were the problems people had with weapons and armor in the playtests?

Poison is just a wound? DEALBREAKER!!! :P

I think I'm rather excited about this edition. It's funny, my experience through the development has been the exact opposite of 4e. There I went from 'OMGZ0RZ, NEW EDITION!' to 'hmm, I'm not sure about this rules preview...' to 'um, no. Just... no. In fact, HELL no!'. I'm glad that many groups...
