    D&D 5E (2014) What is WotC working on now?

    They're probably working on a few champagne bottles and some cake. Well, that's what I hope at least.

    D&D 5E (2014) The DMG: Has it lived up to the hype?

    Expecting them to cover literally every rule that a notoriously picky fan base would want included would be like firing an arrow and trying to hit the moon. Ya ain't gonna git there.

    D&D 5E (2014) Favorite Magic Items

    Bag of Devouring.... Yes yes I can be an evil DM. But just look at its adorable monster face!

    D&D 5E (2014) CR 13 dragon beaten by level 7 party observations

    If you can rationalize a giant, intelligent, magic, frost breathing lizard with wings, I think you can rationalize it managed to find a cave big enough to fly around in.

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Questions: XP for gold and other xp alternatives?

    There are two paragraphs detailing level advancement without XP, but nothing about granting anything in lieu of the XP. There's a small section about Milestones in which characters can receive certain benefits at plot points, like recovering uses of magic items or spells, and there's also a...

    D&D 5E (2014) CR 13 dragon beaten by level 7 party observations

    Why would a dragon make its home in a cave it can't fly around in?

    D&D 5E (2014) CR 13 dragon beaten by level 7 party observations

    Totally agree with your assessment. There's still a problem with big bad monsters being easier to kill if people are prepared. You guys did a really excellent job going in there and giving it what for! I'll also add that different party compositions will be better against certain monsters. You...

    D&D 5E (2014) Legendary Item Creation

    Having received the DMs Guide and perused it briefly, something interesting stood out to me. In the item creation rules, a magic item takes a day per 25gp that the item is worth to craft. Legendary items, vorpal swords and the like, cost 500,000 gp. So with rough caculation, it would take 54...

    D&D 5E (2014) With the Holy Trinity out, let's take stock of 5E

    I was agreeing with you in the first part. There isn't really anything fresh in 5e, except that it's really polished and that's what I appreciate the most. I never said anything about you not liking the game or even insinuating that. So uh... Yeah, color me confused.

    D&D 5E (2014) With the Holy Trinity out, let's take stock of 5E

    This DandD feels a lot like the newer Mario and Zelda games. Are they innovative? Not really. Do they include anything other games haven't? Not for the most part. Are they polished to all hell and absolutely a blast to play? You're damn right. And I'll take a super fun and easy to run game over...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Are Your Favorite Parts of the New DMG?

    That it takes about 54 years to craft a legendary magic item. :P

    D&D 5E (2014) On the healing options in the 5e DMG

    For starters there are optional rules in the dungeon masters guide that help alleviate this problem so hopefully this won't matter much in the long run. But to give a counterpoint, I have outright banned clerics in my campaign and the party seems to be doing just fine. They might be a bit more...

    I know! This new edition is so cartoonish.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mithril Armor?

    Technically, Mithral is just an uncommon item so it would cost 500gp straight up. Although that's for making it, not for buying it, as there are technically no rules for buying magic items.

    D&D 5E (2014) With the Holy Trinity out, let's take stock of 5E

    Rulebooks: A+. Never have I been so delighted reading books filled with rules! Adventures: C-. Having played a lot of Hoard and some of Rise, the only good adventure out so far is the Starter Set. Rather disappointed with that offering, but I'm sure they'll find they're groove. After all, those...

    D&D 5E (2014) I have the DMG!

    Not sure what you mean by that. There's just the save DC dangers and each one has a range of what the DC could be. No rolling involved, so I suppose that's a no.

    D&D 5E (2014) So how does 5e treat Staffs and Wands?

    Wands typically have a certain amount of charges, usually 7, and regain a certain amount per day, usually 1d6+1. Each type of use has a specific amount of charges they use up, such as a Wand of Fear with Command (1 charge) and Cone of Fear (2 charges). On a wand's last charge, a d20 is rolled...
