    Cleric Winter Domain

    I was revisiting threads I hadn't looked at in awhile, and got to thinking about this spell. As I sometimes try to create PCs inspired theme-wise by comic book super-heroes, this spell got me to musing on the X-Men's Ice Man. Ice Shape would need some changes to fit Bobby's ability to move...

    Cleric Winter Domain

    Not if the Raven Queen has anything to say about it. Nyuk-nyuk.

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    My PC does that after an hour or two in the tavern. Then again, he's a forest gnome, so he starts out a bit "d'illusioned".

    D&D General Weekly Wrecana : The Three Pilasters of D&D 4 parts

    So do I, and I love that the art is included here.

    Matt Forbeck's Brave New World To Return

    I'm happy to see this; Brave New World was my favorite of the super hero games.

    D&D 5E (2014) Where does optimizing end and min-maxing begin? And is min-maxing a bad thing?

    Odd numbers are not a bad thing for a starting character. If you have a pair of them, you can use an ASI level to bump both scores by +1, and "Sha-zam!", two stats just improved their modifiers. If your DM allows feats, a number of those give +1 to a single stat, and some other beneficial...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Creation rules: Anyone else not find them particularly helpful.

    This just gave me a flash-back from decades back while watching a televised film adaptation of Stephen King's Salem's Lot. I hadn't read the novel yet, so I had no idea what was going to happen in the kitchen scene where the nosferatu and the priest confronted each other. All these years later...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tabaxi claw attack

    TheCosmicKid and Cap'n Kobold cover most of the RAW, which generally do not allow you to use the tabaxi's claw attack along with your weapon attack. The exception that would allow you to use the claw attack is your reaction, which can be used either on your own turn or on someone else's (PHB...

    D&D 5E (2014) A character class with exceptional action economy?

    I take it you mean a Tempest cleric? Yeah, that's a sweet domain build. I can only say: Enjoy it! And, no, I do not have a competitor for it.

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    This is something I think that a lot of us muse on from time-to-time, and is a central question when a gaming group is negotiating a consensus on the level of grittiness at their table. For many of us, hit points represent the character's overall physiological status: not just the presence or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give me your craziest, most GONZO PC concepts!

    As the "Gonzos" keep coming, I'm loving this thread more and more.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E classes that discourage "dipping"

    I respectfully disagree with your perspective on the Monk class, but that may just be a result of an old 2e adventure (some might well guess which one) where our entire party woke up stripped of everything but our small-clothes. Having an improved unarmed attack seems to me to always be a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give me your craziest, most GONZO PC concepts!

    What the heck?!? A PC that actually became a mature adult? Granted, this is a fantasy game, but some things are just too strange to be true - :erm:

    D&D 5E (2014) What the warlord needs in 5e and how to make it happen.

    Over the years, Wrecan posted a lot of his thoughts online that garnered a lot of respect from other gamers. He passed away not too long ago, and a lot of us miss reading his musings on the continuing evolution of D&D.

    D&D 4E Genasi 4e to 5e update

    An intriguing take on 4e's Dual Manifestation. Since this was achieved by race-specific feats in 4e, and such feats not existing (as yet, anyway) in official 5e rules, I applaud your ingenuity in using this route to achieve a comparable character option. My own inclination would be to use...

    D&D 5E (2014) Light Spell on a stick and then breaking it into two limbs?

    Since mending does not restore magic to a mended object (see the description of the cantrip), it would not have any effect on the light cantrip.

    Thank you for the clarification/correction, QuietBrowser!
