Be aware that the 'no stacking advantage' rule was deliberate. As is the 'auto negate' regardless of how many adv/Disadv you have. The designers didn't want to incentivize people to build characters around gaining advantage multiple times over. They didn't want the mechanics to overshadow the...

It looks like every other bag, not sure why this one is theoretically so much better. Currently I am using a backpack designed to carry a laptop. Holds a bunch of books and folders, and I can carry it or wear it.

Ah, I get your question now.... I say no. This is not like Portent where you roll a die and save it until needed. This spell allows you to roll a die and add it to an ability check. To my reading, that requires there to be an ability check to add it to before you are allowed to roll it. In...

My last LGS we normally had two tables of 5ish running; lets call it 6-8 fairly regular, and another 6-8 occassionals.... Including the DM's, there is 2 people that go to conventions with any regularity. From the other 2 stores I have played in, that ratio seems to hold up pretty well. Going...

Its pretty simple once you understand it. It is an adventure path consisting of 8 adventures. (7 'main' adventures, and 1 'intro' adventure.) Each of the Main adventures consists of 64pages of adventure, and 32 pages of crunch/fluff information. Those 32 pages will always cover the new...

Your assertion makes no sense. It is WotC that has been making the AL Official material.... 30 adventures a year, plus 4 Epic adventures a year. Sure seems to be compatible with their strategy....

Haters gonna hate...

I have only skimmed that thread, but I have not really seen that sentiment expressed there or elsewhere. If you have a specific page I should read I can do that. The only time I see something similar is as a response to "homebrew it" or "Play it the other way" and stuff like that. Playing AL...

Okay, gotta rant... When the Modrons first came out, my group was like "WTF?? Are they really scraping the bottom of the barrel so much that they need 'Shape' monsters...??" Reminded us of a cartoon characters for pre-schoolers to learn shapes and colors. We assumed they would quickly learn...

Looks interesting. I am kind of surprised by the number of people pledging $400 so they can name a star system or the like. I get the bestiary and the gazeteer. But what type of content will be in the "12 pages of bonus material"?

Almost anything can work. With some fiddling you could even use Word or similar. If you search, there may even be a template floating around to help. Another option is to use some of the Magic:TG card generating websites, or maybe the Meme generating websites. Or go old-skool and just cut out...

No they can't. The Bonus attack is always an Unarmed Strike

He can use it to Grapple an opponent, with a +X bonus (or advantage?)

Chronis has a few things wrong. 1) Being hidden does not lead to an auto crit, just advantage. If you are only hidden, then you get advantage on the first attack of the round. If you are a Rogue(assassin) and your target has not gone yet**, then all of your attacks will have advantage...

Ignoring the viability discussion, I think it would be cool if Frenzy ignored exhaustion. I also think you should be able to Frenzy the turn you Rage.

But you are missing my point. I'm not focused on if they are Hidden or Not Hidden. I only care about what happens next. For example, I would say the PC is Hidden. But I would not allow the PC to get surprise on any attacks because the enemy knows where they are and where the attacks are...

Um guys.... it appears a lot of the vitriol is based on an issue of semantics. So I suggest you skip past that part to see if there is any *subsantive* differences. A PC is in a room with nothing but a crate. The PC ducks behind the crate and gets really quiet and tries to hide from the...

No disadvantage, and there is an ally within 5'.... so SA works.

Yes, and that makes for a fine story for around the campfire. But when you supplied the actual numbers, we discovered that the bard also cast Bless, and the fighter rolled *extraordinarily* well. Even factoring in Precision dice and Bless, he rolled considerably above average. And fighters...

It likely gets a bit over half of those in the area; which means on turn 1, the 'awake' half can just wake up the hypnotized half. the net effect is you deny them one round of actions. This is cool, but not quite an 'I win" button. And if the bad guys are not neatly arranged in a 30x30 area...
