    D&D 5E (2014) Am I the Only One Not 100% Impressed with the Monster Manual?

    There are quite a few monsters where I'm going to want to write up some alternate sets of abilities. After the third or fourth lich the legendary/lair actions are going to get a bit stale.

    Awoooooo!

    "...a werewolf has heightened senses, a fiery temper, and a tendency to eat rare meat." LOL. I saw a werewolf eating drinking a piña colada at Ruth's Criss...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the 5e Monster Manual the best MM ever?

    Not really, no more than any other 3.0./3.5 monster book. It was very poorly bound and they did not offer replacements. So I finally caved and bought a second copy because it was starting to get ridiculous prices on the secondary market... then they released the Tome of Horrors Revised PDF for...

    D&D 5E (2014) When to award XP?

    Without being there or being the DM, I don't know. I would resent a player running off and talking about it (and only presenting one side) on the net before talking (not arguing) about it with me first.

    Best time to award xp is after pizza. That way you get more pizza.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the 5e Monster Manual the best MM ever?

    Too early to tell. A strong point in its favor is that it is eminently readable, but still works well as a reference. I think I'm waiting for 5th Edition Foes 2.0 Re-Revised this time around. :D

    D&D 5E (2014) Prestige classes in Next?

    A good way to handle prestige classes might be to place them outside of the level structure and hook them into inspiration. For example, maybe you join as a role-playing opportunity presents itself, and the prestige class gives you a neat new way to spend inspiration.

    Yeah, just posted in the other thread that mine arrived smudge-free. Lucked out, I guess.

    D&D 5E (2014) Printer Errors in Some Monster Manuals

    Got my Amazon copy, no smudge. They also upgraded it to overnight shipping for no extra cost for some reason...

    D&D 5E (2014) My powergamer players wants to be a bard.

    Or necklace/bracelet/pick guard. Really it's up to the DM, not just some guy that wants to win the Forum Game Version of D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) My powergamer players wants to be a bard.

    I think you're making up rules to win an argument on the internet, which is pretty cool. They need to match the prices and weights in the PHB (probably... ask your DM), and that's about it. Nothing about size.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is best company for dice?

    I don't see the bias of rounded dice mattering too much unless you play bucket-of-dice games like Warhammer 40k (rolling 100 d6s is called "turn 1" for my Tau or Imperial Guard) or RPGs that use dice-pools. Throwing aside dice bias, I love pine dice the best for their light feel and bounciness...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is best company for dice?

    That's fantastic news. Looking around the net, though, the latest news I found was almost a year ago. Does Mr. Zocchi know about Kickstarter?

    D&D 5E (2014) What is best company for dice?

    This used to be true, the company he sold off to however puts out inferior goods, with inferior materials.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does RAW have a place in 5e?

    Y'know, I think I was mixing him up with MSB, Terry wasn't exactly a pit bull. As for where he is now, wasn't he big into Chivalry & Sorcery? Does C&S have any sort of online fandom these days?

    Color doesn't affect probability. Bling does, though, so take a look here: http://www.artisandice.com/

    D&D 5E (2014) Does RAW have a place in 5e?

    My problem with RAW, RAI, CLIntS or any of those acronyms is that they lead to a forum game of arguing rules that is completely unrelated to playing the game. GAP is king as far as am concerned.
