    D&D 5E (2014) First feat for a 5e Valor Bard

    I have a (currently 2nd level) half-elf bard who I plan to make a Valor Bard when I hit 3rd level. Thinking ahead to 4th level when I can either take the ability score improvement or a feat. Thinking feat, but not sure which one. Since I plan to go College of Valor, I'll get proficiency in...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is Over-Powered?

    AD&D was fantastic...for its time. I started with the original blue box Basic Set, then moved on to AD&D which I played for many years (still have all my books, modules, Dragon magazines, Judges Guild supplements, etc.) Starting with 2e, I thought the game got more and more bogged down in...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana is Here - and it's all about EBERRON!

    How on earth is that "the final insult"? If WotC got frustrated with Morningstar, thought it was a POS, and the general public on Kickstarter thought it was a POS so didn't fund it, how is them taking their POS that nobody wants to Pathfinder "the final insult"?

    D&D 5E (2014) Counterspell check ?

    Ah, I see...Counterspell is a reaction.

    D&D 5E (2014) Counterspell check ?

    But the Wizard has already cast a spell (on his turn), so could not have readied Counterspell as a reaction.

    [UPDATED!] The Unsung (Female) Half of the D&D Team!

    I read what was going around on Twitter all morning...and did not see anything mentioning designers. So, that may or may not have been included at the beginning, but the critical mass of noise was re-tweeting posts that did not. Not the ones that were all over my Twitter feed. So, apparently you...

    [UPDATED!] The Unsung (Female) Half of the D&D Team!

    The Tweets that started this firestorm said "There are now no women working on Dungeons and Dragons...", and one directly to Mearls that asked "Can you name some women working on D&D...?" Neither one mentioned designers.

    Badges

    News articles have the gold "G" icon on the reply button, indicating you should get GP if you reply...but it has never actually worked for me. I've replied to news articles, clicking on the reply button that contains the gold "G", yet I never get the GP. Only creating a new thread has gotten me...

    GF9 is updating the D&D 5E SPELL CARDS

    Sounds like nice changes, but same as above, I want to know if they've added all relevant info to the card itself. Referencing the PHB defeats the purpose, IMO. Don't need a word-for-word description of the spell, but all important info would be nice.

    Purchasing GP

    Yesterday I purchased $2 worth of GP (because there's a badge I want and don't want to wait...) ;) However, my GP amount hasn't changed. How long does it take for the purchase to be reflected?

    D&D 5E (2014) Scaling Lost Mines of Phandelver for 1 or 2 PCs

    Thanks for the replies. I'm a little reluctant to leave the encounters as-is for fear it'll lead to avoiding combat 100% of the time (or very near that). Some of the encounters, yes... I think I'll start one PC at 3rd level, adjust the first encounter per my previous table, and see how it goes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Scaling Lost Mines of Phandelver for 1 or 2 PCs

    I've been thinking of the best way to run LMoP with just 1 or 2 players. One idea is to have the one (or two) players role-play an entire party (using the pre-gens). I don't think I like that option, though, so I've been thinking about scaling the encounters. Here's what I've come up with so...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on spending gold ...

    The point I was trying to make is that some people seem to think it's OMG SO HARD! to create a range of values/prices for the dozen or so rare magic items they may be using in their campaign (or more, if they're so inclined) for fear the prices won't be consistent or balanced from one item to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on spending gold ...

    I went to buy a car, but it's so popular right now that stock at all the dealerships is pretty low. So, the dealers are charging more than the MSRP. I was pissed! I said "That's not fair! The system is broken! It's not balanced! You have published prices...it's right there on the window!"...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on spending gold ...

    1.6 x 10^60 difficulty. The post you quoted here said it took 2 seconds to do 1 item. I did some quick back of the napkin math. I may be off by a few million years, but I don't think exact numbers are important here.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on spending gold ...

    Also, you don't have to come up with values for 200 items. Your players aren't ordering items off a menu. Pick a dozen or so items...heck, even 2 dozen, and do those. You're the DM. You decide.
