    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Timeline

    Can any of you Realms Loremasters tell me what a decent year in the 3E FR timeline might be for starting a campaign? Note: I have a couple of the 3E FR sourcebooks (e.g. Silver Marches) and will be using them for reference in my 5E campaign. I do not want to worry about the 4E changes, and how...

    D&D 5E (2014) Balance Issues: Two-Weapon Fighting

    Does anyone foresee any balance issues if a Fighter with the Two-Weapon Fighting Style is allowed to use a non-light-but-finessable weapon (e.g. rapier or whip) in their main hand while simultaneously wielding the standard light-only weapon in the off hand (e.g. dagger, etc)? By RAW, the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spellcasting Mechanic Question

    I have read through the Basic Rules chapter on spellcasting multiple times, and am just not seeing an answer to a question that I know will come up at my table: Does a spellcaster add his ability modifier to damage rolls? And if not (which I suspect is the answer, or they would have had it...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Exactly is Bounded Accuracy?

    Lol, too true. The ONLY time I ever rolled an 18/00 strength score was for a male dwarf fighter that was limited to 18/99..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And thanks...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Exactly is Bounded Accuracy?

    My group is making the transition from 4E to 5E in the next week or so, and I have been slowly dropping bits of information to those who have not downloaded the Basic Rules yet. Now, mind you, these guys have been playing D&D for over thirty years each; from the Blue Box with the B1 in it all...

    Expected Enhancement Bonus by Level (Weapons & Armor)

    I seem to remember seeing a table in one of the books that broke down, by level, the expected enhancement bonus that a PC should have under normal circumstances (e.g. an 8th level fighter should have a +2 sword kind of thing). Problem is, for the life of me, I cannot find that table. Does...

    Aiding Another In Magic Item Crafting

    I have every intention of doing so... The thing is, my DM is rather new to the whole DMing process. I myself play and DM 4E, and just recently started playing with this particular group of 3.5E enthusiast friends as a side project (oh the forgotten joys of just showing up with a character...

    Aiding Another In Magic Item Crafting

    I have the Craft Wondrous Item feat, and meet all the prerequisites for a particular item I am crafting for a fellow PC (an item to help his animal companion see again after an unfortunate encounter with a nasty spell caster). My question is: Can my druid friend assist me in the process, and...

    D&D 4E Skill Check Progression Table Akin to 4E's

    Outstanding, Jester! Thanks! This is just what I was looking for. I personlly play 4E, but a friend of mine has just started DMing for a 3E group and is constantly asking for advice. I really like the 4E table and think this will help him out immensely at his game...

    D&D 4E Skill Check Progression Table Akin to 4E's

    Note: please no 'edition war' stuff! 4E has a very cool progression table for skill checks wherein the DM can look at a PCs level, and simply decide if the check about to made is: Easy, Moderate, or Hard. He then has a target DC for that check. Now, I realize that this may be an 'apples to...

    Need Help Designing an Encounter Area For Worg Riding Werewolves

    Gonna run it in the next week or two... I'm leaning towards the front of a mine complex at the back of a box canyon. There are two shelf/plateaus, one on either side of the entrance. One is 15' high, the other 20'. The worgs should be able to jump up the 15' without much effort and the 20'...

    Need Help Designing an Encounter Area For Worg Riding Werewolves

    My PCs are about to encounter a group of werewolves riding battle worgs. As skirmishers they have good movement and move-related abilities. My problem is, my encounters always seem to degenerate into static slugfests with nobody ever moving about. This encounter is led by a villain the PCs...

    D&D 4E Errata for 4E Powers

    Thanks for all the responses gang. I did find the power in the Dragon mag. I assumed (I know, I know) that it would be in the Rogue article, but it was in the Power play: Martial article. I am 'tweaking' because of the minor action part. None of the other 17th level rogue powers seem to...

    D&D 4E Errata for 4E Powers

    Cool, thank you! I checked in Dragon #381 just to see if the text was right there as well, and it's not even in Dragon #381!! I have no idea where it's from...

    D&D 4E Errata for 4E Powers

    Can anyone point me in the direction of official errata for 4E powers? The following power just seems waaaaay too overpowered as a minor action, and I would like to see what Wizards has said (if anything) on the matter. TUMBLING STRIKE Rogue Attack 17 Encounter Martial...

    Tips For Running The New Giants Adventures

    I ran the originals many many years ago, but will be running my Party through Chris Perkins' 4E conversion of the classic G1-G3 adventures soon, and have a few questions: - Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for running these? - Are the monsters good to go with the "new" math? - I...
