Frankly, none of the items on the list thrill me. But I can forgive 4E all its sins for bringing the Warlord to my table. So I voted "Other".

Do I remember right that "defending the wall" was also supposed to come with permanent subscriber privileges?

Slots, because I don't want wizards to spam their low-level spells all day long. Points might have been OK if they were scaled differently so that a 1st level spell is still a significant fraction of the pool but they also allowed multiple 6th-9th level spells (at very high cost). For example...

I also did a quick-and-dirty genie pact for my game: Warlocks can form pacts with noble genies, most commonly a djinn or efreet. The djinn pact is similar to the Archfey pact in the PH, and the Efreet pact is similar to the Fiend pact. Djinn pact: Expanded spell list 1st level: Thunderwave...

Me too, it was a really busy time. Badge me please! Ben

I would buy: A psionics book. I don't need psionic versions of every magic-using class, and I don't even need psionic characters to have a spell point system (the slot system works well), but a handful of classes and a nice collection of psionic "spells" and monsters would be great. An updated...

I plan to let players choose 2 spells/level to represent their domain. If you want to have a spell from a supplement, swap out one of the ones from the PH. Same for druids.

Sounds like a really fun game. Good luck! A thought about the gothi: norse stories involving magic were more about learning magic than having it innately; therefore the wizard method of learning and preparing spells might be a better fit. There were a lot of secret codes going on too, such as...

If I were playing in such a game, I'd like to see magic reined in -- maybe even forbidding evocation spells. But there was a lot of powerful magic in the stories too that I would like to see come into play eventually: polymorph, powerful curses (e.g. the nidhing staff), illusions, and of course...

I couldn't find any class with Planar Binding on their spell list. :-)

5e does provide a mechanism for stacking concentration spells: potions. You could hand out a formula or two as treasure and let them spend the money and time making them if they really want them.

This old poll popped into my mind tonight, and I thought I'd write a scorecard for what made it in. Quite a lot, actually! (YES) Intelligent and Ego weapons 62.65% (YES) Strongholds 60.24% (YES) Cursed items that look like good magic items 56.02% (YES) Morale for monsters 55.42% (YES) Morale...

I'm working on a more granular rarity scale that resolves some of these issues. It will be ready for sharing in 2-3 days. Stay tuned!

An interesting power for the subclass would be to boost the effectiveness of phantasmal force to 1d6 psychic/level instead of 1d6 flat.

OK, so I just did a quick analysis of the feat and the results are actually kind of interesting. I'm not taking into account the possibility that you can mitigate the -5 penalty with advantage. Call P = your probability of hitting with a single attack Call W = your average weapon damage with a...

Ahem. Can I just say... NAILED IT! http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?363786-Artificer-(Wizard-Subclass) I tried to make that subclass before knowing the item creation rules. Time to think about v2... Anyway, regarding WotC's artificer: Giving them a version of brew potion is a good...

I usually play humans , halflings, and dwarves because I'm more interested in the story of a mundane person growing into power and exoticism through their travels, than a character who starts out exotic and mysterious. But it depends a lot on the setting, and what sort of backstory pops into my...

I just thought about this because I'm kicking off a new campaign tonight. The disadvantage of point-buy is that there is an obvious right way to distribute the stat array (or points) to min/max a given class, so you have cookie-cutter or at least uninspiring characters. The disadvantages of...

If you had a martian airship, the eighth ray could make it fly.

The DMG magic items seem to consider them equivalent. It has several skill enhancer items; some give +5 and some give advantage; all are uncommon. If you have a feat/item that grants you advantage, it also means you are never at disadvantage. Your result is capped at 20, however. If you have a...
