Not sure if you have a full crew or not, but I'll keep an eye on the threads and if you need another I'm interested. I see you have a wizard, cleric, and ranged fighter. I'd be fine with being a rogue or a melee fighter.

Has anyone tried it out yet, and if so what are your experiences? The only time I tried 4e, it was difficult due to the inherent grid-based elements. I really didn't want to invest the resources into mapping and imaging tools needed to create the visuals with each round. With the return to...

This. I thought the static defenses were a very elegant concept. It's pretty easy to keep if you want. Replace any save made against another roll with a DC to 10 + stat modifier. But I do like the way 5e abandoned the three derived defenses in favor of one based on each of the six stats. I...

. In that case I agree 100%. I suspect that once we have item creation rules, my own wizard, sorcerer, and warlock characters might want to have a scroll or wand of counterspell handy.

RAW, it looks to me like you can't counterspell a counterspell, since you have to be actively casting before someone else can use their reaction to counterspell you. Then again it doesn't expressly say you can't counterspell in the middle of casting another spell. Can you take a reaction on...

What about letting a cleric take a feat in place of Turn Undead if it doesn't make since for their deity's portfolio? And speaking of Divine Intervention, is anyone else underwhelmed by a class feature that statistically speaking fails most of the time until you reach a certain level and then...

The Dungeon Crawl Classics series by Goodman Games has produced some good generic modules that can be dropped into an existing setting or used as a starting point to begin building your own. I have ones that they did for both 3e and 4e, but they are written with an eye for being adapted to any...

That conjuring wizardess was the girl your take out on Saturday. The cute elven archer in the "Dragonslayers" piece by Elmore was the girl next door you take home to meet mom. Back on topic - where are you getting the information on the new Succubus/Incubus (and Eyrines).

And stay wildshaped into the form of a raccoon.

One of the specific areas of focus on the table for the Sage background is wizard's apprentice. However, I think an alternate, complete background that is specifically for a wizard's apprentice would be great too. The nice thing about backgrounds is they seem to be the easiest to homebrew...

Is this assuming point buy or standard array for ability scores? 4d6-drop lowest can often yield a set of hefty scores, particularly for humans. That would let you have both high strength and dexterity without necessarily having to settle for two dump stats. Also, with bounded accuracy, a...

I don't have a link to an image, but if I recall correctly, D&D orcs in recent years have been described in places as equipped with scimitars with the art depicting a weapon that looks a big cleaver, basically the historical falchion. In 3e/4e, any single edged sword is generically a scimitar...

I find myself agreeing with a lot of what is being said here. I'd like to see new features that are concept-driven and designed to provide a way to do something not covered in the existing design. No bloat or splat for the sake of bloat or splat. Rather thang the "Complete X" or "X Power"...

Make an evoker, focus on electrical damage spells. Make sure he wears rubber boots. Call him G'rowyndd Boef

In D&D, the falchion has always been described as a two-handed scimitar, evocative of the weapon used by the Cairo Swordsman that Indy shoots in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I've always wondered if that ought to be a finesse weapon. It's design and balance makes up for its size. Historically...

FWIW, I took the phrase "or any [simple/martial] weapon" in each class entry to imply "with which you a proficient". This would limit you to those provided by your class and any racial weapon training. In 3e, the extra weapon proficiencies seemed to be part of the trade off for a more limited...

I agree. Awesomenss!

Wow, I just started a thread along similar lines...
