    D&D 5E (2014) I think I am going to stop using solo monsters.

    Summoned to the Prime, and killed.. depending on your world, that could mean she's still alive on her home plane, just banished for a number of years. Which means they need to go to her to properly kill her. Where she has all her stuff and lair and minions...

    D&D 5E (2014) Races of Eberron: Goliath?

    You could also make them one of the servant races of the Dragons, living further inland on Argonnessen, alongside Dragonborn. Being bigger and sturdier than some of the smaller races, they may hold a higher stature amongst Dragon servants.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5.5e; Your wish for 5.5e update.

    I'm looking forward to the new rules mechanic and fluff book that will be released later this year. Whatever they call it, it won't be as drastic as a .5 or 1 version increase. Oofta the new UA for today is pre-lim Mass combat rules...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with a Kobold thing

    Well, if you are keeping pack-tactics, and want to remove the sun-light sensitivity, you'll want to hit them with something comparable. The Sensitivity counters the pack-tactics during the daytime, making kobolds better for night time raiding and attacks, or in the underground. If you take...

    D&D 5E (2014) 10HP Bonus for Level 1 Characters. Thoughts?

    I agree with Caliban here, just start em at level 3. The original intent was that by level three they are full adventurers, equivalent to older editions level 1. Levels 1-2 are intended to be intro to adventuring 101. If you don't like how squishy those levels are, push em up to a higher level...

    D&D 5E (2014) When do players realize Turning Undead worked? (5e)

    They shrieking and revulsion of the undead from the Paladin's turning can be immediate, as it happened on his turn. But the Undead running away doesn't take place till their movement. Heck, if you want you can describe some kind of divine energy affecting the undead who were turned in some...

    D&D 5E (2014) How much would this character suck?

    I'd recommend, as above, using the background as the noboby smuck from hillstown. Maybe urchin, or criminal if you want the thieves tools and skills. Full 5 lvls of warlock, then branch to sorcerer, or bard.

    Pathfinder 1E What happens if a sorcerer already knows the spell that is later granted by their BL?

    I believe they can train out old spells for newer ones as they level, but only starting at 4th level. http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/coreRulebook/classes/sorcerer.html Check the class feature on spells.

    World Building Inspiration

    Just found, thanks to Digg, a cool video on Youtube that goes into pretty good details about spacing of towns/villages and gives a nice overview on how they spread, and specialize into larger cities and expounds into related issues on major city locations and how climate/landmass affects...

    Episode VII and Rey (Total Speculation)

    Keeping in mind there are a few years between each movie of the original trilogy. So I figure, at least 5-10 years from start to finish for Luke. And the time it took to build the second DeathStar.

    D&D 5E (2014) Speculation on the Remaining UAs in 2017

    For the Wizard, I'd like to see a proper Generalist. One who excels at magic in general. Maybe he can be the Metamagic Wizard, able to slightly bend spells to his will a little more easily. Regain back an additional spell slot on top of the Wizards normal recovery. I love all the wizard school...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help: Getting rid of spell slots

    I'm personally fine with Spell Slots, but you could transition over to a spell point system with some ease, convert the spell slot into a point equivalent, and pool everything. Spells cost their level in points.. makes casters with spell slots more powerful since they will be able to cast more...

    Pretending to be a Paladin

    Fighter 4(eldritch knight), Warlock 4(blade pact) This is probaly how i'd go, with additional levels only in Warlock. He gained a little spell knowledge via the Eldritch Knight, but without a higher Int, grew frustrated that he could never truly expand his repetoire of magic himself, so turned...

    Westworld [spoilers]

    He witnessed a spark of cognizance in Delores, and spent 30 years trying to find it again. Hoping the answer might have been at the center of the Maze, but that answer wasn't for him. But he witnessed it again in the final episode during the attack. Have to rewatch to see if he survived, I...

    Fantasy Author & Game Designer Joe Dever Passes Away

    I read a good half dozen or more of the Lone Wolf books several times over when I was growing up. Passed down from my older brother. http://www.kenzerco.com/Operiodicals/kodt/nemptychair.php

    D&D 5E (2014) Acererak's Tomb of Horrors is in Chult

    Think of Mordenkainen's appearrance a bit like a Stan Lee appearance in Marvel movies. Those familiar with him can go, oh cool. Those unfamiliar to him will miss the reference, but might have it pointed out to them by others. Some players are more than just familiar to the name, having played...

    Why there won't be a "Player's Handbook II"

    Eberron Adventurer's Guide? or some other book(s) akin to SCAG. Crunch alongside story/background material. Maybe more FR related overarching regions. The Ancestral Barbarian could be originating in Kara-tur. Really hoping for the Eberron book alongside Psionics for 5th ed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Rules you ignore

    Keep forgetting to give out Inspiration for cool things. I've told the table to point out and endorse others for it. Plus I'm starting a house rule that a roll off ( highest result wins) gets to start the evening with Inspiration. Encumberance is largely ignored, except for awkward/odd sized...

    D&D 5E (2014) CoS - 2 questions on play that may be broken (spoilers)

    If they do manage the time travel trick, they (you) might find yourselves not only against the ongoing threat of Strahd falling and the creation of the Demi-Plane. But facing the Dark Forces' agents as they try to ensure it happens. Could be cool to run.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wanting more content doesn't always equate to wanting tons of splat options so please stop.

    Hrmm.. more Sorcerer origins would be nice. They did add the Storm option in SCAG, good start. Warlord not in name, but some of it's utility of healing is with the Purple Dragon Knight from SCAG as well, probably as good as we'll get for now. I think early versions of Artificer, Shaman, Psion...
