    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Warlord Demand Poll

    I think I straight up don't agree with this. For a few reasons. 1) Nature clerics and Druids to me, aren't doing the same thing 2) I have no issues with two things doing the same thing differently. If two players want to build ninjas but one wants to go shadow monk and another wants to go...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Warlord Demand Poll

    I know this. That was my point. That precedent for Druid as a separate class already existed and it wasn't a 3rd edition invention.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Warlord Demand Poll

    I think druid was justified as separate to a nature cleric for all sorts of reasons. Or are you worried the nature cleric suffered somehow? Why be concerned with differentiation at all?

    D&D 5E (2014) Is It me, or has TFYP Missed Tomb Of Horror's Best Trap?

    I think the problem is, with new legends, is there are more of us able to talk now. Everyone agreeing what a good dungeon was easier back when the communities voice was minor and channelled through very specific events. If I was listing my legendary dungeons, how like would you be to agree with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is It me, or has TFYP Missed Tomb Of Horror's Best Trap?

    I tend to agree now I have thought about it. As stated in the 'defence' I mustered, I was only really doing that to understand what my Dm at the time might have been thinking. I know my party got the same idea though so maybe we were all treating anti-magic fields differently back then. But that...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Warlord Demand Poll

    Didn't 1st edition introduce the druid, in like the AD&D handbook as a standard class? BY creating it as a class back then, surely they were saying it was different.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is It me, or has TFYP Missed Tomb Of Horror's Best Trap?

    Well first, this is how another Dm explain it to me after we'd decided not to pick up the staff and had finished the adventure. I thought then that it was literally the best trap I'd ever seen. I'm sad to hear it apparently isn't the case. But as I enjoyed it let me make a case for it anyway...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is It me, or has TFYP Missed Tomb Of Horror's Best Trap?

    So, Spoilers, Obvs. In Tales take on Tomb, location 30 - In the 'Sarcophagus', section it seems to sell that part as a 'Why the demilich has been destroyed' and completely miss explaining the point of that bit to DM's. I think it is important to explain that the Staff of the Magi has been...

    News Digest: GAMA Going Strong! Announcements for D&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Shadowrun, Green Roni

    The Green Ronin announcement is the best RPG news I heard all year. Maybe Britain will finally not have to wait an extra year to get hold of M&M sourcebooks because the distribution company cannot tell a**e from elbow. My 'Pre-order' of a reasonably priced cosmic handbook will be available in...

    Check Out The First 3 Pages Of TALES FROM THE YAWNING PORTAL

    Actually, I would say that I thought that they were going to give an idea of linking the adventures beyond 'Oh, you can kind of link them but were aren't going to give you a how or why' half-paragraph. That is a little disappointing.

    Check Out The First 3 Pages Of TALES FROM THE YAWNING PORTAL

    The Tomb isn't filled with monsters. In fact has almost no combat encounters. It's more like a deadly trap filled puzzle box than a series of fights. If you want to know who the big bad is, take a look at the front cover of the DMG. That's him before he gets an upgrade. Tomb is post-upgrade. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) So, did Pendleton Ward help with TFYP?

    Those are both an interesting thoughts/distinctions. Upon re-checking a source or two and the word used is 'Story'. So yeah,it's likely both of you are correct and I have misinterpreted. Mind you, I'm pretty sure it was an easy mistake to make. We should really have some specific terms that mean...

    D&D 5E (2014) So, did Pendleton Ward help with TFYP?

    So, minor question. Before Tales From The Yawning Portal was announced, people at Wizards let slip that he was involved in consultation with the 'next' adventure path. But when Tales was announced, almost no mention of any collaboration was stated. Now there's something odd going on here because...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's in YOUR Multiverse?

    My Mutants & Masterminds game had a bit where all the 3.5 Arch-Devils were bad guys and in a later instalment, one character mentioned that his realm connected to 'Fair Barovia' so I guess that puts me firmly in the 'Kitchen sink multiverse camp' of Dm-ing. Having said that, it depends on having...

    D&D 5E (2014) Necromancer Management :) Please help :)

    Well, that's interesting. I think you'd have to sleep for 8 hours to replenish your spells (as that's a long rest in Rules As Written) I'd say if you eventually go this route (obviously not achievable at lower levels) then check out the UA mass battles rules to see if that helps.

    How in the gods name would you be able to raise that many?

    D&D 5E (2014) I would like to play a Homebrew Race. Could I have your thoughts please?

    I'm not sure what you mean by this. A 'Necromancer' cleric is doable a few ways: either muticlassing or askingthe DM if you can play a cleric of death. However some of the stuff you're thinking of doing is VERY high level stuff. You'd have to be playing in a high-level/long running game for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls on D&D (New Interview with James Introcaso)

    You mean like the bit in the back, where it specifically instructs you how to use the crunch for a variety of different worlds? The SCAG furnished me with several different Solamnic Knight options for Dragonlance. I do get where you are coming from an the SCAG, specifically, is a better...
