    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    I recognise only Ilsundal and Kagyar, the rest are imposters I say... EDIT: Ordana and Mealiden Starwatcher are also acceptable

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    Oh I meant it as a once off before the list of creatures like the MM has explanations of things earlier in the book before all the monsters.

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    Man I wish I had this level of insight into how to roleplay gargoyles just a few weeks earlier when I threw 30 of them at the PCs...ah missed opportunities.

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    I'm on your side of the pond, but further South. Hope you and the Mrs recover soon. If you are tying LA to the reactions then change the name to LR. It is not confusing at all. If you are worried about it, write a sentence or two about it prior the monster/deity write-ups clarifying it.

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    I ask because we have homebrewed so much to the point where I cannot honestly comment on RAW PC versus monsters anymore - also we have been focusing on higher levels last few years. The PCs are more powerful at our table due to the use of HD but that is reined in via our exhaustion track, the...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    You're saying per RAW 4 x 13th level pcs (feats + magical items) versus CR23 is doable?

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    I think it comes down to the setting reality. So, I have a level cap of 9 for PCs and NPCs. Something extraordinary needs to happen to awaken or empower the individual to go beyond level 9. Now I realise there is nothing in the game that stipulates this, but having level 20 characters casually...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Apparently gods make species through magic and now mortals make species through magic. You're a god, they're god everyone is a god! Yay

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    I've seen this late so I may be retreading ground... So to you Tanis Half-Elven was conceived via magic and not physical? You may want to run this idea past Weis and Hickman. I do not remember you making this argument during the debacle about half-orcs and their origin. Also you're 100% wrong...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    So, OPTION 1 11 - Level 1 is traded out 12 - Level 2 is traded out ...etc OPTION 2 17 - Levels 1-4 are traded out 18 - Levels 5-6 are traded out 19 - Levels 7-8 are traded out 20 - Levels 9-10 are traded out OPTION 3a and 3b 20/21 - Levels 1-4 are traded out 21/22 - Levels 5-6 are traded out...

    Will do, but just to paint a fuller picture of him - he is not at all the sensitive type. None of us can be in our group. Banter is rife (and necessary). And despite that minor flaw, the dude is a solidly committed player who loves the game, delves into the homebrew mechanics (and is pushy at...

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    I'll ask him about this, although he has never indicated any of the above is the reason. Oh you are right in that he prefers maps and grid - which I do use on occasion and when pertinent (complicated combat encounters). He is often the one to draw the map of the area being explored and...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    Ah you're converting the many lower-level spells slots to higher level spells? So, 4 x level 1 spell slots = 1 x level 4 spell slot? You can find a way to limit spell slots, for instance Level+x or Intelligence ...etc I'm assuming Fighters remain the same, so you wouldn't be removing Action...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    I share this exact idea for how high level should play - not that I currently have any solutions myself. My table is 16th level - the idea I have for my table to take it as far as we can go as I have high level ideas I wish to explore, of course the system might make this impossible...

    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    I do not mind repeating information, clarifying details - especially if I believe their characters would know the information. Having said that I have a hardcore player who doesn't hear pertinent information or doesn't understand me (and others) - whether I'm explaining the description of an...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    Yes, but I'm not sure how to fix armour though unless you give monsters specific class features which boosts their AC. Because monster AC is tied to dex mod and it's protective nature as compared to PC armour. And then there is the to hit bonus.... You'd have to create something like a +1 bonus...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    Okay. Do you have any ideas about how to increase the AC of monsters? Does plate still give +8 and a shield +2?
