    MiPS Lost Mine [IC]

    "Well, I've met Cae before, but can't say I knowed her all that well," Vottr says as the all settle in. "It's good to know a bit of yer companions." "You all know Gundren is me uncle. Hadn't seen him or any of me kinfolk in years afore he came to Neverwinter. I did a long stint in a Mintran...

    "All I got are dry rations meself," Vottr says as he spreads out his own bedroll. "They're tough, but then again so am I. Heh, I once bit the ear of an orc in a street brawl."

    D&D 5E (2014) HoTDQ - Went way better than expected

    OMG - You just summed up the rift in the local gaming community of my small town in the most succinct terms ever. I'm totally going to quote you on this. I see a big split between those who came up prior to 3e and those who came in with 3e, PF, or 4e. Not edition warring here, just an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Blacksmith Soldier

    You could also limit him to minor, temporary enchantments until the DMG hits and we have more solid rules for creating permanent magic items. Basically, he can infuse a weapon, shield, or suit of armor with thing "a like true strike, blade ward, protection from evil/good, magic weapon, etc...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Blacksmith Soldier

    I'd make a wizard with the soldier background. On the table for soldier specialties have him choose the last one, which if I recall correct reflects support personnel like cooks, armorers, etc. Let him swap out the gaming set proficiency for proficiency with armorer's tools. The real trick...

    D&D 5E (2014) How to stop a Thief

    I'm going to go with the others and say the DM needs to put a stop to this unless this kind of thing is part of the dynamic you're going for and all the characters have opportunities to get one over on each other. BUT - just for the sake of making a fun, vindictive, antisocial suggestion, it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Evil parties that don't fall apart: ideas, suggestions, experiences?

    I think Marvel can give us two examples here. The first, a short one from the recent Guardians of the Galaxy movie: Rocket: Why would you want to save the galaxy? Start Lord: [indignant] Because I'm one of the people who lives there! Admittedly, neither are evil characters. But the point is...

    MiPS Lost Mine [IC]

    Vottr stairs blankly a Cae for a moment, trying to comprehend what she just said. Finally he gives up and assumes she was agreeing with Eddicus' suggestion to make camp. "Aye! Let's make camp." The dwarf looks around for defensible positions in the event of an ambush. [OOC: DM, let me know...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anything You Miss From Past Editions vs 5E?

    I think it would be fairly simple to create a PC like this. Just keep a separate character sheet for each class and update them when you gain a level in the respective class. Split your XP awards accordingly when you get them. What may take more work is accounting for monster CRs for this...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anything You Miss From Past Editions vs 5E?

    I liked this to. As a house rule you could calculate the passive check for each ability and use that as a static defense. Wherever the rules say "saving throw" convert the save DC of the attacker to a d20 roll (e.g., DC 13 becomes 1d20+3) against the relevant defense. But if you do this you...

    Vottr: "Well, is foot speed ain't the priority, I can take point. Not a race that goes about upright won't tire out before a dwarf. And maybe that the sight o' Sweet Meduna will deter any fool bandits layin' in wait. I'm pretty good with an ox team, though. So let me know iffin' you need a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lost wagon of Phandelver

    Our party never had to leave the wagon. We got ambushed when we stopped to investigate the dead horses. The cleric expended all his spells to avert a TPK and we went into town to regroup. There we wound up contending with Redbrands the rest of the session.

    "Well, if I we want to be goin' as fast as possible," Vottr says,"Me and the halfling would ride on the wagon and you long-leggeds could take turns walkin'. Not much of a scout meself, but if any of you are, yer welcome to go ahead."
