    Reporting on a 2-hour playtest session

    Last week when I ran the Ogre against my group the wizard froze him in place, I had the Ogre pull out a spear from a quiver of spears and drop the wizard in response.

    D&D 5E (2014) On DDI Articles: Please check the News Page first [UPDATE: rule relaxed]

    While I usually come through to the forums through the main page, I sometimes miss relevant items. Any chance of the articles getting a temporarily stickied link to the actual article in the relevant sub-forum?

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Art Column: June! And July!

    I'd like to see a more head on shot to compare to the quadruped Grizzowl version. Although I don't mind some of the test ones, those angles don't seem to do them as much justice as the off kilter head on sketch of the Grizzowl.

    The Dodge Action is Amazing

    I wouldn't mind seeing a fighting Defensive option either, perhaps a +2 AC/Dex while incurring Disadvantage and/or/maybe a small reduction in damage..

    Welcome to our new moderators!

    Welcome to the new Overlords.. does this mean we've spawned too many Zerglings in prep for DnDNext..

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    Thinking again on this. How about keeping the starting time as 998YK, but in a chapter on the nations of Khorvaire and beyond, put in the plot hooks, and schemes that are percolating and that would most likely develop due to the current environs. One could easily mention that none of these...

    D&D 5E (2014) Racial restrictions on Dragonmarks in 5E?

    I hope the default is back to Racial restrictions. If a DM and Player want to break that, they can, but hopefully it will be with a solid story for that character. I don't want a party with Aberrant House Marks just adventuring without being hunted down and captured/killed by either the...

    [Eberron] Timeline Advancement?

    I'd kinda like to see what officially develops across the world. I can easily start at the original time point, and integrate any changes I like from the following years/decades.

    Abilities Capped at 20 Won't Work

    I'm hoping the default is no stat increase post chargen except through wish like magical spells/items which are DM use only.

    Why I Think Rolling For Hit Points is a Bad Thing

    I like rolling hp. Yes it sucks to roll low, but that means that even if I were to recreate this exact character in everything else, the hp differential between the two forces me to rethink the character tactically/strategically (and not just in combat). I'll play both characters differently...

    Elephant in the room: rogue and fighter dailies.

    Well, the Lucky, is a Lightfoot racial bonus, not a rogue one, while the Fighter's surge grants a twice a day surge to perform two actions. I'm okay with both, I'd characterise these as race/class abilities, and not directly a comparison to 4th ed Powers, per se. But that's just me.

    Elephant in the room: rogue and fighter dailies.

    I repeat Mercule.. Huh?!? Are you talking about a lack of dailies, or ... something else...?

    Paladin Design Goals ... WotC Blog

    Going back to this, I like the idea of allowing Good, Neutral and Evil Paladins, since I do like the option of a Blackguard Paladin, and whatever the Neutral term might be. I also like that they should be restricted to Lawful, simply because it should be lawful in relation to the Paladin Code...

    Paladin Design Goals ... WotC Blog

    Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible I like the outline of the concept, will be interesting to see the execution of the Paladin Class.

    The Pregenerated Characters

    From the Q&A yesterday they rolled the priest class into the regular cleric class using the new Domain/Deity system they cooked up. And effectively, you'll get the Mace Cleric and Mystic/Priest Cleric in the playtest. Also, strongly hinted were two types of elves using the Themes/Backgrounds...

    Magic is not the red-headed stepchild.

    My only problem with the idea that if he has been deafened, he can't hear the next spell being cast, he can't be affected by it. If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around... However, if a person/creature is deafened, forcefully or not, and a spell requires a noise/sound component to...

    is the Pandora algorthm broken

    It's probably a design feature, not a flaw, with the intention to introduce you to more/new music in a similar style to the band/musician you already like. The more varied a selection, the larger the number of musicians music get played, and paid(hopefully). Plus, most of these systems allow...

    OotS 852

    Although they might take a little longer to figure out who it may be specifically, they can confirm it's not Thog since they can see skin around the eyes on Tarquin. Love that Tarquin had NOPE embroidered on the mask for just this situation. Elan will probably figure it out long after it...
