I almost always give PCs a few skill options when they are trying to accomplish something or figure something out. If they come across the corpse of something killed by a poisonous plant creature they haven't encountered yet, I'll say something like "anyone proficient in Nature, Survival, or...

My guess is that DMs that don't want to do much work will say "if you play a 2014 class you use the 2014 spells." But I also assume that most DMs are comfortable with a case-by-case analysis of stuff, since most of us have been doing it since XGE and (especially) TCE came out.

Or make a common (IME) houserule official: AB applies to one EB per turn.

Tales of the Old Margreve -- Kobold Press. Very wilderness/nature focused with some fey-ish elements.

This brought me an irrational amount of joy! :love:

Some of my best gaming memories are running the intro Eberron module "Reflections of the Multiverse" 10 times at GenCon. Including for some WotC designers (not to name drop, and tbh I didn't know who they were at the time).

How about if PWT provided a total "+X" to stealth where X is determined by your level to be distributed among the party? You are using primal power to muffle the party but the Dex8 full plate paladin uses up a lot more of the available muffling than the Dex14 wizard. Temporarily raises the floor...

Sorry for the brief tangent, but I think WotC hit on the best compromise in Candlekeep: the casters had a comprehensive list of spells, then the ones most likely to be used in combat got a brief write-up under Actions. So if your Master Sage was going to cast Drawmij's Instant Summons, you...

PS: and why different die choices based on the size of the creature?? It almost seems to be saying "if you don't like our simplified damage we will punish you with this ridiculously complicated table!"

I was just about to post this. I understand the value of having fixed damage for increased ease, but both values (dice and fixed damage) need to be in the stat block to provide an easy way for the DM to choose. I'm not a fan of unnecessary die rolling, but the swinginess (swingyness? does...

But I want it NOW!!! 😭 JK. Thanks for the info and the hope.

Exactly! The big splashy effects could be Invocations like the current Mystic Arcanum. The Invocations could be a mix of small at-will things and big nova-esque or encounter-changing effects. And warlocks could choose which route they would prefer to go. You could have two warlocks in the...

That's just lazy talk!!

You know, when a back and forth between two (or more) posters gets to the point where it is mostly a debate regarding who is being more nasty or disingenuous, it should probably just stop. It's really tedious when these forums turn into the text equivalent of listening to your neighbors fight...

Yeah, I'm sure I am looking at it through nostalgia-colored glasses. But it would scratch an itch I've had in 5e for a while: fewer spells and more unique class stuff. For example, I have always wanted a Bard half-caster with significantly more robust BI and skill using options. Of course...

Is it too late to recreate the 3.5 warlock? I just reviewed in online and remembered how much I loved it. A highly magical PC that operated differently from everything we had seen before. And it would have been so EASY to recreate for 5E. Sigh. Wishcasting over.

Yeah, I'm thinking something similar here, that gnomes get the 3 rds of invisibility and halflings get something different. Something with luck tokens works, but so would something about hiding behind a medium or larger creature which would trump the "can't hide of anyone can see you even a...

Love Shadowdark but I'm starting to think that I made a mistake by not getting the Cursed Scrolls stuff when I backed the KS and just selected the basic rules...

I tried to buy those but the company told me that they had searched my social media and can legally only sell me "...Monk in the sheets." 😭

Ummm, yes please!!
