    D&D 5E (2014) Weapon oddities

    I suspect that only the Monk or perhaps a Grapple-build Fighter will get the unarmed as light feature.

    D&D 5E (2014) Played tonight! Couple of questions.

    Oops, I saw Fireball, not Firebolt.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Wizard's Amulet returneth!

    I wonder if FGG did have early access to the Basic pdf, and therefore WotC's blessing, in order to get everything pretty much dead on so quickly. Which suggests that the other class info might be accurate! If so, I am very surprised to see so many possible PHB spoilers coming from a 3PP! If...

    D&D 5E (2014) Played tonight! Couple of questions.

    Nope. As far as I remember from my reading of the rules anyways. A spell is not an attack; and only attacks get criticals. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Psionics

    Welcome! I also agree that Psionics should be a separate system, preferably a module. Although I do not hate Psionics, they are not a requirement for my FRP games. What about a 4e-like system? I think I would rather have classes based on Psionic use rather than the add-on system of their...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the only purpose of a spellcasting focus to eschew common material components?

    I actually do not believe we will get +X foci or holy symbols, but will instead get the latter; extra/special abilities attached to said items. I would like that. :D

    D&D 5E (2014) Criticizing the new edition of D&D (because I like it a lot)

    Yeah. While I appreciate your play style and can empathize with where you are going with a lot of the changes you recommend, I don't agree with your assertion that these are universal desires/problems. I don't think there is ONE set of rules to make everyone completely happy. The point of 5e...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set pre-gens in PDF?

    I ended up just scanning and printing mine. Couldn't find any decent PDF's.

    D&D 5E (2014) Weak Saving Throws

    Yeah this was my thought. What AC boosting/hit avoidance spells are applicable? Mage armour, shield definitely. Invisibility? Fly? It all goes back to strategic or tactical intelligence (knowledge of weak areas for ex), which for me, all comes out in a draw... Until I experience different...

    D&D 5E (2014) Official D&D Basic Discussion Thread

    Just finished a quick read through of the pdf, and I really like it. As someone else mentioned, I think this is a great intro to the game a la BECMI. A lot of "cool" moments, though not a lot of "wow!" moments (I expect to have those reading the Trinity). Mostly I am loving the "feel" of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter set being shipped early in Canada

    Yeah... with 4e, Indigo shipped 3 days earlier than my Amazon pre-order. I can't remember why I ordered 2 sets, but apparently I did. One must have been for my brother.

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter set being shipped early in Canada

    Wow. I totally forgot about Chapters/Indigo. And it seems they are matching prices with Amazon.ca (with a Plum membership, free AFAICT). I knew I remembered getting my 4e books early somewhere. I think I will switch my pre-orders.

    D&D 5E (2014) Where (and when) are you getting the Starter Set?

    Hmm, you are right, they do carry the Red Box. I had it in my head that every time I tried to order a boxed set, they didn't have it. I do know that they did not have any of the Dungeon Tile Master Sets either. Or the first 4e starter set. Edit: And on topic, I pre-ordered on Amazon, but am...

    D&D 5E (2014) Where (and when) are you getting the Starter Set?

    Actually, this has been a thing since 4e at least. Amazon.ca has never carried any D&D boxed set... And I don't know why. Luckily I have an Amazon.com account as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are you going to buy 5e?

    Pre-ordered the day they hit Amazon. I loves me some D&D, whatever flavor. Pretty stoked to be introducing my nieces and nephews to it. They seem pretty stoked too, especially when I showed them the covers. Ironically, I had to describe it to them in terms of World of Warcraft... a part of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set: Except 7

    Yeah, just checked my 4e MM and they all have Reach 2 (10'). Not a huge change, but I don't know if I like it. I have always envisioned Ogres swinging a big-a:):) club around with a wide reach. Love the art though!

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set: Except 7

    Hmm. Ogre only has 5 ft reach... that's new from previous editions right?
