    Does equipment and spell effects stack if simmilar?

    I am pretty sure they don't stack. I don't have a rule to site at this time however... In my games you are not allowed to stack % miss chances, regardless of source. You just take the best. You can be Blurred, Displaced, and Invisible... 50% miss chance (if they attack the right square :p). The...

    Chasuble of Fell Power and Vitriolic Blast?

    OP: No. Additional dmg like that never(?) applies to "DoT" dmg. If anything it would only apply on Round 1. I do not have a rules backing for that in mind at this time... might even be a House Rule. I'll get back to you later. Consider (if you DM allows) Empower SLA, Boost SLA, Quicken SLA and...

    Assassins: Is Neutral okay?

    It all comes down to motive. Killing blindly for money = probably very much evil. Killing evil bastards who have it coming = Neutral at worst. With the right code of conduct, an assassin could even be Good. Face it, L/G PCs kill sapient beings *all* the time and usually its not even a big deal...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Can D&D Next Win You Over?

    For me to consider it, 5e would have to feel 3e compatible. It would have to appear to be a "3e fix" for all the little flaws of that system. If it feels like 4e+ then I'll pass.

    Randomized Hit Points

    Personally I am done with random character generation. I use a form of pointbuy for stats and HP are "average +1" per level. Normal NPCs / Monsters get "average HP". Badass NPCs / Monsters get max HP. Average +1 (for those of you mathmatically disadvantaged :D) d4 = 3.5 d6 = 4.5 d8 = 5.5 d10 =...

    I go away, and I miss a whole edition - Help?!

    Now that is a loaded question. My answer: Hell no. But it depends on how much you enjoyed 3e. If you like 3e, you probably can skip out on 4e (and possibly 5e as well). If 3e leaves you wanting less, then 4e might be for you. As to getting in on the ground floor with 5e... whether it is worth...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e needs to push its IP instead of churning out splatbooks.

    My guess is that the OP is a troll. FR is the hottest D&D setting to date. Still, some do prefer Greyhawk or Eberron. I would like to see WotC do something bold and use one of the other top 3 settings from the 2003 contest. I would love to see what Rich Burlew's setting looks like. 4e FR was...

    2012 PC Bodycount thread

    System: 3.5 + some add on from the Tomes, Pathfinder, Trailblazer, and other assorted house rules. Campaign: Shackled City Adventure Path (Paizo's first AP from Dungeon mag). Deaths Dwarven Cleric 2 - died charging an Ogre, while already down to 1hp ("I was taking a risk!") Dwarven Rogue 3 -...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should there always be a chance of failure in D&D Next?

    Yes, of course. "Everybody wins because they're participating" is not a philosophy that was popular when I was growing up.

    Enchant the weapon of a Nimblewright?

    What Samloyal23 said. And in short "don't sweat the small stuff". Nimblewrights are robot-swashbucklers with two rapiers, of course their rapiers can be enchanted. :p

    Who cares about Otiluke, Mordenkainen, Rary and whatever geezer names they trot out.

    I do. If for no other reason than it prompts a noob to ask a Grognard, "Hey, whats with this Bigby guy anyways?". You damn kids need to know your roots! Dropping the names from magic items and spells would be almost as insulting a move as what 4e did to the Forgotten Realms. Sure, its just...

    Which D&D edition do you *really* prefer?

    Crunch: 3e (House Ruled mix of 3.0, 3.5, Tomes, PF, and Trailblazer). Fluff: 2e, hands down.

    Stats scaling past 18/19

    Roleplaying Incarnum?

    I have only used Incarnum a handful of times since that book came out, but each time I've managed to convince the DM to allow me to turn off my soulmelds by investing a single point of essentia in them. They all reshape once I reallocate essentia. This made it a little more playable than the "I...
