It will be interesting to see if the PHB or DMG throws in an option for a 4e-like Second Wind for everybody. This will probably be something I'll add, if not. I'd probably make it a bonus action, though.

My current character is a 4e avenger who is tasked with hunting down evil wizards. He has taken a few of their spellbooks, however, and multiclassed into wizard, and is currently in the position of using some arcane magic against his foes while trying not to be tempted to use some of the darker...

For some reason the idea popped into my head to woodburn the "thou shalt not stack" list onto a baseball bat and keep it handy at the table. :heh:

No. There's been no announcement of when (or if) they will be starting up again. They've still been posting Ed Greenwood's Realms articles but those are edition agnostic IIRC.

Luckily, I don't have to game with any of these types of folks. Life's too short to get hung up on the game to such a degree. Jerk was probably a poor choice of words though. How about hard-nose?

Open playtest bard only got up to 5th level slots (at 17th). Is that still the case?

Any DM who's not a jerk should have the good grace to let a player rebuild their character when a more appropriate class to fit the player's concept comes along. It's probably different in organized play, but I couldn't care less about that. I don't have access to any books at the moment, but...

Well the goal is to use a 2-h weapon and light or no armor. I have 4e retribution avenger who's multiclassed wizard, so mage armor spell wouldn't be too much of a stretch, but it looks like 2-handers are out without houseruling.

If Dex is a viable primary stat for paladins (finesse weapons I assume) I wonder how hard it will be to re-create a 4e Avenger with the 5e paladin's vengeance oath. It's a shame they will probably need houseruling to make 2-h weapons viable in this setup, so that they can stack Dex and wear...

Any news on bards? I heard they were drastically changed from the open playtest, but that's it.

(original post redacted) It looks like those are in fact 2" bases on the giant, assuming the vampire is medium with a 1" base. mea culpa. And yes, it appears the king & queen are on 3" bases, in that case.

I imagine these are in the standard playing card/M:tG size format so they'll fit in 3x3 baseball card sleeves. Might help ease the transition for some 4e fans (myself included).

I get annoyed when the players buy hemp rope and don't spring for silk rope. Hemp itches something fierce.

4e had flaming skull familiars (and also the non-flaming variety). A tiefling wizard in my last campaign made a familiar out of the skull of a (now nearly-powerless) lich they defeated. The two didn't really get along (but it always followed the letter of his orders) and it was constantly...

In 3e only a rogue can detect/disable traps with a DC higher than 20. It doesn't look like Pathfinder retained that rule.

Are we still talking about Eldarin?

Does it have elctrolytes? It's what plants crave.

I'd probably do something like this: +2 Con, +1 Str, +1 Wis Size Medium, Speed 30, Vision Normal Toughness: Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level. Tireless: You have advantage on saving throws against exhaustion and against effects that would...

If I change any of my campaigns over from 4e, one of the first things I will be doing is creating a bard college for healing, a paladin oath for healing (knight hospitaller?), a battlemaster option for inspirational healing (warlord), and a druid circle for healing (shaman). If I'm lucky these...

One thing I'd encourage for new players is to try to get them to think like their character, speak and act (figuratively speaking) like they would rather than just playing themselves. It helps if you have premade characters with some fleshed-out background details, and can be a little more...
