It's been a long time since I read the DL Adventures hardback... 13th level seems awfully low now. But yeah, I always liked that system. I was introduced to D&D through DragonLance, and to this day, I kind of assume wizards will wear alignment-appropriate robes, regardless of the setting...

I always liked the spellcasting distinctions between the three orders of magic, i.e. how Black Robes levelled faster and got access to higher level spells sooner, but had less spells overall (IIRC), with the situation reversed for the White Robes. IIRC, a black robe got access to 9th level...

I know there are (probably) no hard rules for this, but yes, it can, if it's a winged race. If you've got a 10-foot wingspan, you probably can't fly in a 5-foot wide pit trap. If I were the DM in such a situation, I could theoretically allow for a half-damage, as the character could use their...

This. Although it's not clearly spelled out, the pact of the chain's improved familiar is something completely separate from familiar options presented in sidebars in the MM. IMO, of course. It has been discussed in other threads in the past, but just note that of four special familiars...

Sorry to jump the thread, but is there information available which of the missing deities from previous editions returned to the FR? I've read the Sundering novels, but I've managed to forget most of what I read :P I know Mystra's back, and so is Mask as... ... Drasek Riven apparently took his...

Based on the air prophet picture above, I wonder if we're going to see the return of Murdock's feathery flyer spell :) (AD&D 2e Tome of Magic accessory) (although the membrane in the image does not seem to be covered in feathers :)) Regards.

All familiars are Tiny creatures. If you've got your familiar tucked in your shirt, peeking out of your pouch or basically hiding anywhere on your person, the DM probably won't consider it a target for attacks (unless the opponent is specifically trying to attack the familiar, in which case I...

As there are no hard and fast rules regarding this, it's open to DM's interpretation. Note that not all of the four special familars available to the pact of the chain warlock get MM sidebars, just three (imp, pseudodragon and quasit). The wordings are similar (imp states that it "can enter a...

Is this stated anywhere apart from the sidebars of the monster entries in the MM? I skimmed my PH, but couldn't find it anywhere. In any case, I would rule (and would fully expect my DM to rule it that way as well) that magic resistance from special familiars doesn't apply to the warlock with...

It does. You can't rage in heavy armour. And (although it wasn't mentioned), increased movement (5th level, IIRC) also doesn't work in heavy armour. I was looking at statistics of certain animal forms, and while attacks can be pretty impressive, especially at 2nd level, the AC tops at 14 (dire...

This got me wondering... are there alternative ("planescape") names of various celestials or fiends mentioned (apart from yugoloths or gehreleths, that is), such as baatezu or tanar'ri, barbazu, osyluth, gelugon, etc. Also, only somewhat related, it always surprises me to see barlgura written...

There were four types of sphynxes in previous editions, andro-, gyno-, cryo- and hieracosphinx. Cryosphinx has a ram's head and hieracosphynx a head of an eagle. Both were evil, IIRC, although one might have been neutral in alignment, and both were less powerful than either the gyno- or andro-...

That all goes without saying. On the rare occasions that I DMed (and DMed in FR... that was a long time ago), I always "ruled" that the theory about Leira feigning her own death at the hands of Mask was actually true. Anyways, I agree with what you said, I'd just like to see her back in the...

Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen, a brilliant 10-book series. Regards.

Honestly? I seem to have erased most of the novels' content from my mind. I remember some of the scenes from The Companions, for example, but have no memory of other characters except for Drizzt. From what I do remember, it's The Sentinel by Troy Denning that I liked the best. Regards.

More or less... there are snippets of events but no explanation is given for most (any?) of those. Most of the novels are badly written and tedious to read (IMO, of course). The Herald, Greenwood's finale to the series, being the worst -- but, after reading several of his Elminster novels, I...

Perhaps the potion-drinking action presumes you need to take the potion from wherever you're keeping it, uncork the phial and then drink it, as opposed to just grabbing the tankard and quaffing the ale. Of course, one could argue that the amount of liquid should come into play (a phial is, IIRC...

Exactly, I fully agree.

Elf description in the playtest document includes elven opinion of gnomes, among the playtest races (humans, halflings, dwarves). There's also mention of half-orcs. Then there's the bit about gnome illusionists in the Wizard's School of Illusion description. So, I take that as a pretty solid...
