    D&D General Xorn as an encounter

    The party hearing voices in the rock is a great way to handle them. Xorn are intelligent and speak terran, which is sensed as tremors and groans in the ground. These serve as warnings for others to stay away, even if those others do not understand the intent. Xorn dwell in the deep bedrock...

    D&D General Dnd and what has changed

    I agree, I loved the options and variety of 3.x, its the closest DnD has gotten to a 'build your own' system while still being class-based, and I liked that. I didnt like the presentation of 4e, got turned off and so didnt play it (Pathfinder and FATE were there). However after (reluctantly)...
