All great ideas! I for one love to implement this kind of non mechanically benefitting stuff in my campaigns. Tricky part to me is figuring out the costs for those ideas. Never really wrapped my head around the D&D economy and how to equivocate dollars to gold pieces.

Also according to the MM, technically Tiamat is merely the ex-ruler of the first layer of Hell, no?

Count me in as a supporter of a 5e version of Eberron.

Bold mine. Picking nits, but Archer fighting style only gives +2 to hit, not damage.

This is great RP fodder in our campaign. My sweet new-age gf is a blood-thirsty Circle of the Moon Druid in her first experience with D&D and was happy to kill goblin prisoners/sleepers when she found out what they did to her people (wood-elves). Another PC, an old friend who I just started...

My brother is playing a Wizard in our first 5e campaign (LMoP) and he is having an experience similar to yours. Rolls really bad. It doesn't help that he took a level of Cleric to bring some much needed healing to the party. Luckily, they acquired the Staff of Defense that helps mitigate the...

My mom tried to ban D&D when a friend of hers gave her the book "Playing with Fire". When I refused, she was too dependent on me to help raise my brothers and sisters to insist. Plus, I don't know how religious she really was.

Yeah. Been hoping to get that email from them saying it's shipped, but no joy so far. Wotc may have corrected that little mix-up. :(

Barkskin is a 2nd level spell that lasts up to an hour (no scaling). I would rule it acts as armor only, allowing Dex, shield and whatever other bonuses one would stack with armor.

A bit of a warning for you here. I have found more foes scales up the danger a lot!! Someone on ENWorld suggested increasing HP's by %50 instead. Every time I added a foe or two to try and scale the combat versus the 6 PC's I am DM'ing for there was an almost TPK! They are veteran players...

If you cast a spell that is Ranged you attack with disadvantage if you are within the reach of a non-incapacitated foe. AKAIK the only way to incur an AoO is by moving outside a foe's threat range without Disengaging.

Running LMoP for a group that runs between 4-6 players. They are my old group (started with BECMI) that kind of split up when 3/3.5 came out. Half of us loved 4e, the other half 3e... since I was DM and I refused to DM 3e anymore we just couldn't get excited about playing the same game. We...

In the LMoP though, as written, the players are not as likely to get the Staff of Defense. My players didn't.

Hmm. Yeah I get what you are saying. However, I think its going to be a rare occurrence when one is unseen and unheard and hasn't taken the Hide action. So it's not that big of a deal to me to remember it that way. And of course the Halfling can bypasses the "unseen" component, as well as...

In this case I would say the Bugbear is hidden (unseen and unheard) and the PC's are only unseen (walking unstealthily). The Bugbear would hear the PC's walking, talking etc... and could surprise them if he wanted. Add a waterfall and I would rule that BOTH are surprised and go from there...

I would challenge this assertion based on this line from the 5B. If you are hidden—both unseen and unheard—when you make an attack, you give away your location when the attack hits or misses. (Boldface mine) According to this I would posit that Hidden=unseen+unheard, thereby being hidden by...

I am inclined to agree with what others have said in this thread, that the monster abilities seem underwhelming and a bit boring, however, I will withhold judgement until I see more devils and demons. Maybe the bone devil is a bit of a "bog-standard" devil? I dunno... in the end I guess it...

Yeah, I cancelled my Amazon.ca order to go with Indigo and got my books on the 12th. If you guys still haven't gotten yours yet, then I am for sure switching my future orders as well.

And remember... A FR sourcebook would not need a ton of development time, IMO. So just because there is not one in development at the moment, that might not mean much. Basically, I figure it would be %90 fluff to %10 crunch. And they could probably crank that out in 3 months or less (pulling...

Cool! Actually, if I recall amazon is good for shipping as soon as they are released without extra shipping charges. Unfortunately Amazon.ca doesn't recognize the code. :(
