I see it completely the other way. It is completely in world whether a ward placed on a church from a hallow spell that keeps out all fey keeps out an individual goblin or not. Even casting hallow the caster must affirmatively choose the type for the effect. I completely expect casters with the...

I don't own the 2024 MM or anything written by WotC after it, but my understanding is that while 2024 MM humanoid NPC stat blocks are written to be explicitly of any alignment and non humanoid type monster stat blocks have default alignments specified in the MM entry the difference between...

There is always the classic Horror on the Orient Express. For a shorter D&D one along a similar theme there is the Eberron Nightmare on the Mournland Express. Hell Train is a short Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure for Weird Frontiers. I am sure there are a bunch of Deadlands ones as well...

True20 Adept's Handbook True20 Undead, Undead Creature: Necromancy began as a form of divination seeking to communicate with the spirits of the deceased. Since its inception, this supernatural tradition has been influenced by the darker arts such as diabolism, and it has been expanded to include...

True20 Bestiary True20 Undead, Undead Creature: Undead are once-living creatures animated by spiritual or supernatural forces, such as the Imbue Unlife power. An undead creature was once living but has magically transcended death as a walking corpse or ghostly spirit. Unfortunately they...

I did get the (BECMI) Companion set to go along with my B/X Basic and Expert sets so the one that stood out for me is the thief skill advancement being reduced in BECMI to stretch it out over more levels instead of the expected new thief abilities that B/X Expert hinted would come for higher...

I was thinking of whether it carried forward in the later basic line books. From the RC it looks like it was just Mentzer Basic but I don't have the other later basic starter sets either to check, just the RC PDF.

Thanks, Moldvay B/X Basic was what I started D&D with and I only got a Mentzer basic boxed set decades later when a friend was downsizing their collection prior to a move, so I am not familiar with its specific unique bits other than the little bits I have flipped through or looked up...

Chronicle Solipstry Beithir: ? Chatterjaws, Chatterbones: Most often, they wait months or years before returning, but I’ve heard cases where they didn’t last the night. While anyone can become a Chatterbones, it seems that murder victims come back most often. Ghost, Spirit: Bodies fade quickly...

Do you have a page number? I just looked in my copy of the boxed set and did not see that.

Solipstry Solipstry Undead: ? Ghost: In addition to certain Abilities, your GM may offer ways for a character to be brought back to life, such as divine intervention, or a return as a ghost. Vampire: ? Chad Dreshmire, Vampire: ?

SagaBorn Creature Compendium SagaBorn Undead, Undead Monster, Undead Creature: Undead are creatures who were once dead, but have been re-animated through supernatural or magical means — they are neither dead nor living. A character with negative levels at least equal to their current level, or...

I had the PH preordered on Amazon. I was a couple years out of law school and very excited by the OGL and the then draft SRD. My gaming then was occasional cross country get togethers for gaming weekends or batchelor party gaming with my long time friends/gaming group. When my brother got the...

The Complete Fighter warrior only optional rule makes the most hardy PCs even hardier and be significantly tougher than everyone else, most everyone else (even multiclass fighter clerics) can be pretty much one shotted at first level, and most are still at significant risk of it at second level...

2e Dark Sun did have characters start at 3rd level so that helped a bunch with the low starting hp issue in a different way.

In reading a little bit from PHBR1 The Complete Fighter's Handbook I came across this passage on page 4: When you're creating single class warrior characters, we recommend that you start all first-level warriors with the maximum number of hit points they can have at that level—don't even bother...

The two revisions in weapon specialization are in PHBR1 The Complete Fighter's Handbook page 58: "Only single-class warriors (fighters, paladins, and rangers) can take weapon specialties. Such a character can only take one when he is first created, but may specialize in more weapons as he gains...

2e specialization actually made picking up random new magic weapons more feasible for fighters than 1e did. In 2e you could specialize in more than one weapon, new weapons just had to be mastered after first level. So while an Unearthed Arcana fighter was double specialized in their one weapon...
