    AD&D 1E Forgotten Realms in AD&D 1st Edition a better setting for adventures?

    Here's an old rpg.net thread about the changes in the North between 1e and 2e.

    D&D 5E (2014) Philosophy of Greataxe vs. Greatsword

    Hmm... the reason it works for 13th Age is the fact that all classes deal one weapon die per level. So a rogue level 5 with a dagger = 5d8. 2nd level fighter with twohanded 2d10 (vs. 2d8 one handed). I really like this. But it is hard to port to 5e. And thus, twohanded loses out again, even if...

    D&D 5E (2014) Philosophy of Greataxe vs. Greatsword

    I like this idea. I don't think class-dipping really will be an issue, but I think it means the death of twohanded weapons without some adjustment.

    D&D 5E (2014) Philosophy of Greataxe vs. Greatsword

    One can't assume feats either, so if you assume GWM, you got to assume magic items. Duelist fighting style gives great offense as well, leveling that field.

    D&D 5E (2014) Philosophy of Greataxe vs. Greatsword

    I don't see how greatsword/axe can compete with sword and board. 2-2,5 on average more damage compared to up to +5 AC difference. In a system that toutes bounded accuracy and growing rate of hit points as features, how are twohaded weapons ever thought to compete? In 3X, at least you dealt 1.5...

    The dwarf entry and elsewhere it keeps referring to movement being penalized in heavy armor (as in 3.X). Nowhere however, can I find any rules on this?

    Will you release the errata document in for people to do a second round? Then we can tell if our observations have been adressed.

    Level Up (A5E) It's Here! It's Time To LEVEL UP Your 5E Game!

    If the books ship from the UK, won't the entire EU face import taxes, fees and what not? Since the books are printed in the EU, why not ship them from the EU?

    Level Up (A5E) Plan your pledge tiers...

    Whoa! I had no idea. Edit: How come? A PF 1-20 adventure path is around 300 pages, 600 is you include the extra material.

    How about a compiled hardcover as a stretch goal? ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone made a 4E-style Monster Manual for 5E?

    If it's anything like Strongholds & Followers, the rules for reactions and lair actions will be in a companion volume. On the other hand, you will get a some magic items and plenty of lore about Matt's home campaign! :cautious:

    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone made a 4E-style Monster Manual for 5E?

    You want to check out Giffyglyph's Monster Maker, which is basically a tool for making 4E 5E monsters. Even has an app. On Reddit, there's a few monsters made with this tool posted, but no published MM or siimilar, alas.

    A write up of this would be awesome. It sounds really cool!

    Without having chewed my way through this thread (I will), and not knowing if you've already done it, I'd love to see a write up of your pantheon :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Beefing up Acererak for 16th level PCs?

    Pretty sure @dave2008 has a beefed up version of Acererak in his monster thread.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Updates: Monstrous Compendium

    I may be in need of a powerful lich soon, so I checked out Azalin. A question: I don't understand this line. So he has 540 hp in reality (270 x 2 for being elite), he gets bloodied and activates his elite trait at 135 hp damage, meaning he can use his elite traits for 405 hp and not for 130 hp...
