We are Realms... Eberron's magical and alchemical distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is Futile.:devil:

This is the first AP I'm considering picking up... So, put me in the excited column.

Halfling & Gnome Cavaliers riding Mastiff War-Dogs, immediately come to mind...

I'm going to throw a +1 on this... Bonus Actions as a mechanic will help insulate 5e against the splat-bloat effect...

I'm jumping back into the Thread to give a +1 to this... Any game, in any setting, is presented with the the fact that simply introducing any number of PCs changes the Lore & Assumptions of a setting... So, in my mind, the FR setting (and all the associated canon) are just possibilities and...

:rant:Booooo to 6e! Totally unnecessary... they finally have a TTRPG system that delivers the goods for multiple generations of gamers. More/Revised Crunch? Anytime, go for it. Psionics? Of course. Expanded Setting Support? Definitely. New edition? Ummm, no. They do more damage to one...

Yummm... Chocolate...:heh: I think the ice cream analogy is perfect, because even though I like Chocolate Ice Cream... It's really that I just like Ice Cream, especially when you mix & match the flavors. So, I guess that puts me in the same boat as many other long time D&D fans... No matter how...

I'll drop into this thread to throw my 2CP in about why I like the Forgotten Realms... and funny enough, it seems like some of what people dislike about it, are redeeming qualities in my mind. 1. I like that it's a kitchen-sink/patchwork setting with tons of lore for people to read through when...

I have found that in practice, there is some minor accounting that takes place at character generation... But, in the midst of the game session or an encounter, I haven't found that it slows down game-play at all. However, it does impact how the group plans for their adventure or quest by making...

You know that's a great point... So, I figure this is as good a thread as any to quantify the weights for the standard packs for everyone's convenience. Burglar's Pack = 48 lbs. - Backpack = 5 lbs. - Bag of Ball Bearings = 2 lbs. - 10ft. String = 0 lbs. - Bell = 0 lbs. - Candles = 0 lbs. -...

I agree completely. It's arbitrary and bizarre, but it seems to be the kind of thing CapnZapp needs to cure his woes... I admit I haven't found the need for such a prescription at my table, but clearly CapnZapp needs something to let him play in a sandbox and alleviate the burdens of a...

Check and Mate... Now CapnZapp can go play in his sandbox, and is forever freed from the heavy burden of having to think up story complications. And the Forums lived happily ever after because of the valiant AntiStateQuixote! Until one day when...

I've always used Encumbrance in my games... I can't imagine going without it. It makes decisions about transportation & resources relevant, and gets people away from the video game inventory mentality of "loot everything"... It's even relevant for day-to-day adventuring. The standard carrying...

+1 to this... Mistwell laid the Rules references out pretty succinctly. So, despite CapnZapp's claims to the contrary, the rules laid out in the DMG address the issue directly...

+1 to this... Sounds like this "may or may not" be the kind of gaming group that enjoys playing D&D the same way that I do. I don't really see a worthwhile way to attribute an appropriate game mechanic to it, and if the other posts in this thread are any indication it would simply result in a...

I can certainly sympathize with the Monkey Wrench effect the addition of Paladin had on Gwarok's game... However, once again, this seems more like an opportunity, not a curse. I would try and leverage the fact that although the Paladin can clearly protect themselves from Undead & Fiends, they...

This is starting to sound like a "Bad-Wrong-Fun" accusation... It's their table & their story. MiraMels posts don't seem to imply they're not treating NPCs like people, or blaming players for anything... It just seems like MiraMels table places a high value on narrative continuity around...

Great point, and one that cannot be stated enough when it comes to game balance. Enforcing encumbrance and ammunition is an important aspect to ensure the Ranged builds aren't being advantaged disproportionately. I'll also throw +1 toward the folks that mentioned using Mounted Enemies in...

Wow! A thread that includes Princess Langwidere AND Bartholomew Cubbins! +1 to everyone involved for excellent literary references!B-) For whatever reason this thread concept for a Warforged immediately made me think of the Quintesson Judge from Transformers... Here are pictures for your reference:
