    Holy goblin crap. :uhoh: And the curse can't be removed in the current circumstances? Sheeesh!

    It sounds like you have a great group. May the pressures of the RW not break it up.

    What are you reading - Sep 2017

    Most recently, finished reading Cixin Liu's The Three Body Problem. Excellent SF. Prior to that, two novels, both with the title, The Devil You Know. The first of those was the series finale to Erin M. Evans' Brimstone Angels series, which I heartily recommend. If you want a fully realized...

    Gods, but I love this game!

    Cursed Items in 2nd edition?

    I think the primary source material for the ring might well be your DM's imagination. That mix of "symptoms" doesn't match any magical item from 2e that I am aware of. And what a mix that is! Aside from the "merely" cosmetic changes (heh-heh-heh) those all seem to be beneficial powers. If this...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Build that Killed

    I wouldn't rule them out. I just like the bigger challenge of the non-fantasy characters. Doesn't mean I'm not considering the adaptation of Lord D'Arcy and his Irish Sorcerer associate, Sean (whatever the heck his last name was) created under the pen name of Randall Garrett.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Build that Killed

    Low-hanging fruit, Erechel, but enjoyable nonetheless. You may have missed Xath McCath's opening post instruction: "So character builds aimed at capturing the flavour of famous literary but not fantasy characters". With that consideration, let's see what ya got.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Build that Killed

    Grazie, but you're too kind. It wouldn't have happened if you hadn't started this thread ... I don't think I'd have thought of it on my own.

    D&D 5E (2014) how great is D&D!

    That aspect brings joy to my curmudgeionly heart, but don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

    Congratulations to the 2017 Gen Con EN World RPG Award Winners!

    I second this. Griping can be great fun (I'm a past master of the sport!), but it contributes to high blood pressure, and not in a good way. Celebrate life and the hobby, and be glad so many keep striving to create damn good products!

    D&D 5E (2014) [poll] Sorcerer Satisfaction Survey

    I like the idea of Origin spells. Perhaps built on the innate racial spell-like abilities chassis: a cantrip at 1st level in the class, a 1st-level spell at Sorcerer level 1, and a 2nd-level spell at 3rd-level. It opens the question, though: since the sorcerous origin is innate, should the...

    D&D 5E (2014) [poll] Sorcerer Satisfaction Survey

    Rather unimportant, but my mind just tossed up a word-play for sorcerer: "Source-Error the Sorcerer." I figure that if I ever create a modron sorcerer, that will be its name. And Wild Magic would be its prime conundrum.

    Lost Heroes – Massive Campaign for Trudvang Chronicles Announced

    I just finished proof-reading parts of the Player's and GM's Guides for the Trudvang Chronicles Kickstarter. I am so pumped for this game's English debut! I have to thank EN World for bringing this game's Kickstarter to my attention. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise. Grazie!

    Bugbear Shadow Monk?!? What a brilliantly scary combo!

    D&D 5E (2014) What does it mean to you for a character/class to be "good in melee"?

    Those will work for a PC. But for a barefoot player stepping on a d4 ... not so much, as lowkey13 pointed to.
