Oreads seem thematic enough. You can have half-lings living on nearby hills. Drow and duergar would make great rivals, too. Also, great idea for a campaign! I don't know if this has been done in fantasy much (it is a common theme on Sci-Fi, though), but a clash between two similarly advanced...

Yes, I guess you probably ask your DM to houserule the feat for you (I have done just that in the past, with this specific case). But, now that I have more experience, I realize that Rapid-Shot is just so freaking good that "Deadly Focus" is not necessary. At level five (assuming 18 DEX, a +1 or...

Book burning? Simply disgusting. Almost as bad a throwing away bread.

When I made my post about the driders on Icewind Dale II I was just about to play through that part, so I wanted to make sure I had it fresh on my memory (it's an old game) before giving away this information. It turns out that there is this organization called The Legion of the Chimera, which...

Awesome article, as usual! Driders also appear on Icewind Dale II, where one is forced to help a powerful drow wizard with the elimination of a creature/device called the "Viviscamera" (or something like that) that is mass producing them.

I started playing with "Roll 4d6, drop lowest" with a homebrew system that only used 4 stats (CON was merged with STR and CHA was replaced with different skills). When I switched to 3e we kept that system, but once I found out about pointbuy I migrated there and haven't looked back in 5+ years...

The thing is that getting +1 to hit and damage, while probably worthwhile, is also quite boring. The true turning point here is if you can use the "+1 to one stat, +1 to another" option to get a bonus on your primary AND secondary attributes (if you have both of them on odd scores) with the...

If the fighter subclass is renamed Champion then I'm out of this f$#?* edition! Say, does anybody know the average height of half-lings? Anything over 4 ft is a deal breaker for me too!!1!

It seems to me that you are over thinking it. Make them pick one advantage: - Endurance as a bonus feat (for the ones that had to do physical labor). - Skill focus as a bonus feat on an int-base skill (for those where mentors or instructors). - On of those "+2 to one skill, +2 to another"...

Arco X! Priceless!

Great, thanks for the info! Do you have a link to that or any other info? Send me a PM! To the OP: Spanish translations of some terms. Elf - Elfo Dwarf - Enano Gnome - Gnomo Halfling - Mediano Fireball - Bola de Fuego Magic Missile - Misil Magico Fighter - Guerrero (Actually the translation...

Found the link to this forum on the SRD. I started visiting very regularly when 5e was announced and I wanted to get all the news stuff. I used to be a regular at the Giant in the Playground forums, but I didn't find it's community (specially the moderators, but the posters are not exempt from...

This. So, to answer your questions: 1 a) No. 1 b) I think that, even if you knew all the spells on your list for every level you can cast (like the Favored Soul did in 3.5, if I remember correctly) you still won't be as powerful a wizard, with a faster spell progression. Note that this is...

The image of the cleric holding the big mace is quite iconic... Since the quarterstaff is so much better that it on the rules so far, my guess is that they will grant the pregen cleric proficiency with war hammers (either through her race or domain) and draw him with one of those in hand.

The one time I had a mounted character was during a 3.0 campaign. He used the chain of mounted combat feats and was quite effective at dealing and taking blows (he was using the Knight class from PH2). It also helped A LOT that I gave him a sort of figurine of wondrous power that summoned a...

My reading of both the Lance and Whirlwind attack indicates that, yes, you can attack opponents 10 feet away with the lance and the close ones with a reach-less weapon. This is also useful for unmounted combatants, too. Attack the foes further away with a reach weapon and the ones that are close...

Playing cards... Lanterns... Meals... I thought the game was called DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. This is a disservice to the game. Couldn't they have shown something a little more exciting?

If you have played Dragon Age 2, That sounds pretty much like the character Merrill.

This is all well and good (I agree with most of it), but we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. The hard fact is that the final rules are not here yet and it is way too early to start making such defining statements about the game. Yes, most people agree that what we have seen thus far is...
