    D&D 5E (2014) Clay Golem HP Drain

    A minor note: I've looked through the Monster Manual a number of times. I don't think cold iron weapons are needed for any of the monsters in it. I've looked specifically for cold iron, and I didn't see it ever. So a silver and an adamantine weapon seems to be all a character needs. And one...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen - a solid D effort.

    If you can die before saving in a video game intro, then yes. It's like that. I think the purpose of the encounter is to be a tense "we are so out of our league" moment. But the PCs can die. Their actions count. If they ignore it, the dragon kills a bunch of people and then gets bored. If they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen - a solid D effort.

    I've seen the dragon combat misconstrued (in my opinion) a number of times. My take on the dragon, as I have stated before, is that he is like any of us dutifully attending a company picnic. The PCs landing a crit or a little bit of damage is like one of us (at said picnic) sitting on an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    "Ancient beings with origins in the Feywild, hags are cankers on the mortal world." They are described at various points as: magical, arrogant, immortal, and wicked. They reproduce by snatching babies, eating them, and giving birth to new hags. They will make bargains with mortals, but beware...

    That's how it goes down at my table. Thaumaturge.

    Hey, I gave you 13 hours. :p EDIT: Well, I guess I gave you only a couple of hours. The 13 is from when you posted. Still. That's a couple of hours. :) Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone who got an mm at Gencon want to offer up spoilers to us?

    They don't. Solars get a legendary action to burst radiant damage, but that's about it for aura like effects. One commonality amongst the angels: you can't lie to them. They have an ability: Divine Awareness: the angel knows if it hears a lie. I think it would even work against glibness. And...

    D&D 5E (2014) The format of the spell list in the PHB is just plain awful.

    Which would be a good solution. It does introduce a different problem, however: new supplements would have to specifically add to the EK and AT spell lists if they have their own. As is, any new wizard spells of the appropriate schools are also EK and AT spells. Thaumaturge.

    Tormyr 's answer is much more helpful than my simple "no" would have been. :) Thaumaturge.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual Question.

    The previous two posts pretty much cover it. There are half-dragon and vampire templates. Otherwise, the MM is not a player resource. It doesn't have anything for making PCs. I expect the DMG to have all of that. Thaumaturge.
