I hope they follow the same model as PotA with the light conversion suggestions. I did have a cool flash of "inspiration" (as in, nothing new at all but still a cool idea) with Eberron and an expedition to Khyber through the Demon Wastes and battling the daelkyr and/or the Overlords.

Although previous (at least 3->4) had some form of "Rule 0," I would say that 5e does a fantastic job of doing away with the whole concept of "Rules As Written." There is an infinite rationalization of both sides, no matter what. Can a molehill be made into a mountain? Only if it's good for...

Peefaced with the fact I have ojny surreptitiously glanced through the article.... So. Much. Awesome. I love the thematic introduction of multiple elements. Mariner fihting style, in particular, was out of the blue - but the idea makes sense and I appreciate the designers being experimental...

Can I just call attention to the civility of this thread? I don't know if it's the Grand Unifying Force of Fifth Edition, the current subscriber make-up of ENWorld, or the simple fact that we're all getting older, but I feel like I'm noticing a trend. The sheer amount of "XP given to...

Second Sunless Citadel and Mad God's Key. Top notch. Also second the Red Larch introductory quests. The 4e adventure, Slaying Stone was also an open-ended exploration and a great adventure.

I'll echo Minsc, but I don't have the DMG with me. It's in the first chapter, regarding starting characters at higher levels, in a low-, medium-, or high-magic campaign. Nice table.

First, I'm also pleasantly surprised by the civility of this discussion! +1! Second, regarding a shield as an improvised weapon: if it's being used as a "shield" then it's not held in your hand, and so doesn't qualify. Third, with that said, it's a great character concept. With the...

Found it! Apologies! I checked the Updates and the Comments - but did not read through the Comments on the Update. :D Thanks, and looking forward to proclaiming ENWorld's awesomeness in public!

smiteworks To clarify, do the Complete Class Pack and Complete Monster Pack include the full text of the PHB and MM, respectively? As in, if I buy the Complete Class Pack, am I simply buying the whole PHB, in VTT form?

Sure, but dice and t-shirts are what I was curious about. Haven't seen anything on those.

Well, been a year since I started the thread. Been checking the kickstarter page for updates, and haven't seen anything. Anything new with dice and t-shirts?

Ranger Poultice: awesome, flavorful class feature. Maybe a kink to work out in the wording and usage per day, but it's a perfect fit for a spell-less ranger. Also, someone brought up the point of starting with a spellcasting ranger in the PHB. It is far easier to pull back spells and replace...

I don't know if this is for me, but hot damn this is exciting! One, the idea of WotC licensing out to a proven, successful, company. I highly doubt this is in any way exclusive, and this bodes well for licenses for future platforms. Two, although I'm not familiar with VTTs, Fantasy Grounds...

Iosue Still looking forward to hearing more of your takes! I'm reading through the old Dungeon and Dragon magazines from 4th edition now, myself, and it strikes me how often Mearls & Co say things like, "we don't like how this turned out" and the amount of time convincing us (and themselves...

Has anyone, yet, I don't know, actually looked at his qualifications, at least? I'm in the dark, don't know who Greg Tito is, but I would be curious what his history has been, and what he was doing at The Escapist. You know, without the one-sided, inflated rhetoric.

I am pretty happy with this (as well as Mearls') as a n opening article, an opening salvo. A couple thing stood out to me: RAW, RAI, RAF: honestly, these are great terms set out and defined for the beginning. Great context for future articles, as well as demonstrating an awareness of the...

Initial thoughts: Although I like the consideration - nothing really I haven't done already myself. My own personal versions of shifter, warforged, and dragonmarks are pretty close. I'll agree when it comes to ability bonuses for the races: not on par with PHB races. And Dragonmarks as...

I'm considering this question to be more in line wih a "5.01" I'm not looking for another 0.5 edition, but they have said semi-timely updates to the rules that are worth tuning. With that said, my #1 thing is Stealth/Hide clarification. I'm completely open to table interpretation and house...

I'm not talking about "Expected Wealth" or "Wealth by Level" tables, or the tables for coinage you can find on monsters. I'm curious what people think of appropriate rewards a patron might give for fulfilling a quest, possibly by tier/level. In other words, if your level 1 party needs to save...

A couple things stood out to me in your original post: So, you're playing a diviner and want to be god-like in battlefield control and buffing and debuffing and defense and direct damage? The answer I'm sure is pretty definitively "No," wizards can no longer be the best at everything, all the...
