This is wrong. Everyone rolls for initiative at the start of any combat, even surprised creatures. When their initiative comes up the first time, they are surprised so can't take any actions or move, but it is still their first turn. Even if you can't do anything on your turn you have still...

Once the mooks turn is over on 18 and it can take reactions it is no longer surprised. Also there is no surprise round, everyone rolls for initiative at the same time. So an invisible stealthed rogue perched on top of a building wants to shoot a wizard in the back of the head as he walks...

Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue, it is like a department store catalogue of items and very few game mechanics. http://www.dndclassics.com/product/16834/Auroras-Whole-Realms-Catalogue-2e?term=aur&it=1 Encyclopedia Magica Volume 1 - 4, from 2e a wonderful collection of every magic item...

I wont read a word of the setting material but I am looking forward to the new crunch. I hope the bladesinger is very close the 4e version of that class, it wasn't very optimal but it was sure fun to play.

There are two ways to make potions of healing. Herbalist kit, 25gp Magic item crafting, 50gp I assume temples, churches and things sell them at cost because they are expected to for the community, and midwives and alchemists make money from them and don't undercut the churches so they can...

Up to the DM but remember it isn't a summoned animal but a spirit in the form of an animal.

Halfling pteranodon lancer. With dual lances, and flyby. Still not out damaging the other two but sure looks fun.

Page 141 of the DMG. CHARGES Some magic items have charges that must be expended to activate their properties. The number of charges an item has remaining is revealed when an identify spell is cast on it, as well as when a creature attunes to it. Additionally, when an item regains charges...

Anyone can tell an item is magical by handling it, no detect magic needed. Detect magic speeds up the process and works on other things besides magic items. Anyone can spend a short rest focusing on a magic item and identifies all of it's properties, besides curses, and artifacts can break...

I like the line of bags from Think Geek, The Bags of Holding 29.99 Con Edition http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1a1d/ 49.99 Classic Edition http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/aaa5/ 149.99 Leather Edition http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/16ad/ I wanted to get one for a long time just never had...

Ki is magic in 5e, and psionics is going to be not magic so they are different.

It's just fluff, ignore it, I don't read/ignore a huge portion of the books because only the mechanics matter. I haven't read the fluff parts of any of the monsters in the monster manual as an example, don't need it just takes up space that in my mind they could have used better.

My spell component list. Spellcasting focus. Backup spellcasting focus. Spell component pouch. All the diamonds I can find.

How much free time do you have? How much disposable money do you have? If you have lots of free time and little money Roll20 is perfect, you can input npc's, make macros, and make your game as simple or complex as you want it to be. If you have little free time and a fair bit of money Fantasy...

Added warlord and a proper bladesinger (no I don't like eldritch knight, bladelocks, and valor bards), was happy to checkmark Birthright, Eberron, and Spelljammer.

I think you just summed up Savage Worlds very well.

The concept is far from new the first time I remember reading about it in a D&D book was the 3e Unearthed Arcana book, here is that information on the SRD. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/adventuring/playersRollAllTheDice.htm But I think the idea was talked about in Dragon magazine back...

Well you might be able to purchase a print from the artist's website here. http://www.shadowscapes.com/image.php?lineid=10&bid=179 Very beautiful work.

Because of game terms. Some spells have you make a "melee spell attack" or a "ranged spell attack" but not a single one has you make a "melee weapon attack" or "ranged weapon attack", even flameblade which summons a flaming weapon isn't a "weapon" attack. A few spells like shiraleah modify an...
