    D&D 5E (2014) What is WotC working on now?

    This. Wizards have been repeating again and again that the release schedule will be much sparser than in the past. I don't think that's "just" talk, they clearly intend to slow the pace of new releases.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    Honestly I think it's ridiculous that we have to debate this after the release of the DMG. Why isn't it properly outlined in the book? Why do we have to resort to an elaborate exegesis just to find out if magic arrows and magic bows / missile weapons stack? The DMG looks awesome and I've already...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual 2 or Player's Handbook 2?

    I hope they never do a Monster Manual 2. I would much prefer thematic monsterbooks, like Fiend Folio, Book of Fey, Tome of the Dead, etc. That would make the Monster Manual all the more special. I also really hope they avoid a Player's Handbook 2 and instead release splats as thematic...

    D&D 5E (2014) With the Holy Trinity out, let's take stock of 5E

    I absolutely love 5E. The core books are great. I really like the slow release schedule. Great job, WoTC!

    D&D 5E (2014) Hypothetical 5E Future Release Schedule

    Here is my dream schedule: 2 storylines per year. One of these gets a "player's option"-book, so that means no more than 1 splatbook per year. In addition, I would also like a "major release" once per year, this could be a monster manual, campaign setting overview, etc. That's all I want from...

    D&D 5E (2014) I love 5E

    I have no reason to post this thread other than a euphoric feeling of pure D&D-ness. I absolutely adore 5E. I love the overall design, I love the release schedule (4-5 books a year, maybe one story-focused splatbook every 6 months), I love the classic D&D flavor, the simplicity and the speed of...

    Trinkets and Relics

    These are some magical items I made for my homebrewed campaign. When I'm writing this, the DMG is not out yet. There may some slight changes to the items when I get the DMG. GLITTERLUST, DAGGER +1 Rarity Unique; Slot Hand; Weight 1 lb. Description Glitterlust belonged to Franz von Adelmaner...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    This is extremely disappointing news. I didn't participate in the beta, so I can't say anything about the current state of the software, but me and my group loved the character builder in 4E and really want something similar for 5E.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    Sorry if I came across as a little snarky. I appreciate the help :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    Thanks for pointing out how empowered I am, you are the second person in this thread to do so. Like I mentioned in my reply to Mistwell, my group wants to play the game as close by the rules as possible before we decide what (if anything) we want to house rule.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    Thanks for the peptalk! We usually play as close by the rules as we can before we start to implement house rules.

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    No one knows whether or not nonmagical arrows fired by a magical bow are counted as being magical or not? That seems bizarre. We even have the first half of the first Adventure Path out (the second half was just released on WPN stores and goes to like 14-15th level). And still no one knows? This...

    D&D 5E (2014) Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    Hey, I've got a quick rules question. Do nonmagic arrows fired from a magical bow count as being magical for the purpose of bypassing a monster's resistance to nonmagical weapons?

    D&D 5E (2014) A quick question for owners of the Monster Manual

    I think another reason why the world isn't overrun would IF the undead creatures, like shadows, don't roam free. If they stay in the area where they were created.

    D&D 5E (2014) A quick question for owners of the Monster Manual

    In a few past editions, Wraiths and similar creatures had the power to create new Wraiths (and those new Wraiths could create even more). From a simulation-perspective, this would lead to the world being overrun with Wraiths. What are the rules on Wraiths? Do they create entirely new wraiths...

    D&D 5E (2014) Frequency of Saves in the Monster Manual

    A pity they didn't make Strength, Charisma and Intelligence saves more frequent (and important!).

    D&D 5E (2014) I'll make my own Fifth Edition.

    Good luck! Let us know how it turns out :)

    Where's the News from Gencon?

    I understand why he is disappointed. Even though the buzz might have been amazing at the convention, people "outside" might feel the lack of news. Most specifically an annoucement regarding a new product for D&D. However, I actually feel this is a good thing. If D&D 5E has a goal to avoid bloat...

    D&D 5E (2014) I now the DMG isn't out yet, but I'm gonna DM anyway. Thus far, I've noticed that...

    I think much of this is due to the rules treating NPCs and monsters differently from PCs, in addition to the slightly more rules-light nature of 5E.
