It’s going to be a few months before the DMG hits shelves, so until then the only real guidelines we have for experience points are the monster XP values provided in the Basic Rules. However, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about how XP was awarded in earlier editions (and in other...

I do! Usually. My Phandelver reports can be found here: http://the-gneech.livejournal.com/tag/silver%20coast -TG :cool:

Somebody being flanked is already pinned down in terms of movement, unable to avoid opportunity attacks for getting out unless they disengage. Adding advantage just for flanking is OP, IMO. Being in flanking position already opens up your rogue's sneak attacks. If you want flanking to also...

Actually, Pathfinder design philosophy has been trying to get away from PrCs too, trying to make each base/core class desirable at all levels to mostly discourage multiclassing. I don't know if it's for philosophical reasons ("the purity of the classes" or some such), mechanical ones (+7 Fort...

Well, has no lair effects listed, but has only recently moved into the area. However, as I mentioned in another thread, I rather assumed that all the were intended to be a sort of lair effect from its presence starting to manifest itself. Several of the regional effects in the MM have text...

You are a scholar and a gentleman. (Assuming you are a gentleman.) Scholar and gentlebeing? -TG :cool:

That's pretty much what I was thinking. 5E can scale up encounters pretty easily on the fly by adding a few critters to an existing fight (the ogre has a pair of orc lackeys; there are two hellhounds instead of one, whatever), so if you write a PPC aiming for a range of levels (e.g., 3-5), it...

I may be projecting, but I’m fairly sure I see some Savage Worlds influence in 5E, particularly around inspiration (which acts something like SW bennies) and around the organization of the Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure in the Starter Set, which has an uncanny resemblance to a smallish Plot...

Awesome! Your group is doin' it right. ;) -TG :cool:

Not cool, not funny. -The Gneech

Well then yes, by that measure, I am returning. -TG :cool:

Well, I consider Pathfinder to be a flavor of D&D myself, but I'm not sure the position the poll takes on it. So I'm either continuing just in a new edition, or returning. -TG :cool:

"Hollow's Last Hope" -> "Crown of the Kobold King" -> "Hungry are the Dead" is a complete arc. It's not really a very good arc ("Hungry" is set up as being this super-sinister "they delved too deep" mystery and then it just turns out to be a rather humdrum evil cleric, and it's completely...

So far the PCs have been much more durable than I was expecting. We've only had one PC hit 0 hp, and that was when an owlbear completely got the drop on them and hit him with a critical right out of the gate. The rest of the party (2nd level, five members) then made short work of the owlbear...

My impression was that the twig blights were a side-effect of having a green dragon in town; that's certainly how I intend to play it if/when the PCs go back there. (They've skirted the town twice, wanting to avoid the dragon.) -TG :cool:

Between budget and the changing of my group's gaming habits, I'm going to pass on this one. I still have Bestiary 4 on my wish list as it is. -TG :cool:

YMMV, of course. :) I can always use more adventures, even if I tear 'em to pieces and scatter the bits across my own campaign like chocolate sprinkles. ;) -TG :cool:

It's an ambitious project! Best of luck. :) -TG :cool:

Fun! :) I don't know the origin of the boogin, did you simply want a tougher orc? -TG :cool:

Sweeeet. Thanks! :) -TG :cool:
