Ahh, my bad. I thought maybe you were saying that the feat only appiled to manufactured weapons, and thus creature attacks were not affected. Which is an argument I have heard brought up...

Normally, that would be my first inclination as well, but this is not the first time I have heard of the issue. I don't remember if it was a forum or facebook group, but I have heard of the 'pick two Backgrounds' thing before...

One of my players was lucky enough to receive a Dungeonscape Beta invite, and has reported something odd. He says that the system is asking him to choose two Backgrounds. I have always had my players choose one and only one Background for their characters. I don't have my PHB at work. Can...

A creature's stat block indicates his natural weapons are Melee Weapon Attacks, so they are affected by this feat, are they not?

THIS. So freakin' much, this. D&D has always been a game of heroic fantasy to me.

I understand where you're coming from, but in the abstract combat system of D&D where armor and hit points are not realistic, logical elements, it makes perfect sense. The Unarmored Defense of the barbarian is based off of Dex (dodging) and Con (shrugging off hits).

Yep, the player is big into the MMO scene and wanted to play an off-tank to his Dad's heavy armor Paladin main tank...

Well, that's disappointing...

Since the world's been turning

I have a young man (15yrs) playing a mountain dwarf barbarian in my Game, currently 2nd level. He absolutely loves it! - he has more hit points than the tank - he ignores half damage taken when raging [and when he hits 3rd level, and bear totem, I believe he has resistance all the time; iirc...

...anything, from anyone, via any medium (twitter, reddit, an owl, etc) about how altering a creature's abilities affects its CR? If not, can one of you Twitter Warriors ask Mike Mearls about a possible Legends & Lore article addressing this issue? In a couple of weeks I'll be putting my group...

Stalker0 can you elaborate on the unfinished destiny thing? I rolled three critical hits Friday night: two of those resulted in deaths. One of those belonged to a player who has lost two characters in our first five Games of 5E (through no major fault of his own), and he had a bit of a...

I would much rather have items late, and correct, than on time and :):):):):):).

Maure Castle becomes sentient.....

And most of them say 'lose ties' which means a PC who ended up with a 20 for initiative goes before the monster.

What exactly is an Armor Save?

I use the Variant: Encumbrance rules [PHB, pg 176], but I modify the thresholds for dwarves: Str * 7.5 for Light Str * 12.5 for Heavy Str * 15 max does not change

As an homage to the First Edition Bard: Beirghus Sionn, Dwarven Battle Piper of the 501st Mountain Regiment, retired Fighter 1, Rogue 1, Bard 1 With a heavy crossbow and alot of cussing and shouted orders from the Party's rear echelon. Oh, and bagpipes, loud & proud bagpipes...

Did you know going into the encounter that it was "unwinnable"? If so, then shame on you, the player for metatgaming. If you didn't know about the nature of the encounter, then shame on your LG wizard who used subterfuge and deceit. And to back up the above post by DEFCON, let's take a look...

An 11th level monk has 11 ki points, enough to perform Eternal twice between rests... Looks like you may be referring to the table on page 80 that references how much a monk may 'beef up' his powers with extra ki points. EDIT: except you may actually be on to something. The paragraph right...
