    D&D 5E (2014) How much should 5e aim at balance?

    I remember the start of a 2e campaign I played once. Our characters didn't know each other, and we were playing the part where they met. One of those characters was an elf archer, and when other pf the PCs entered the forest he shot a warning arrow. Now a big argument erupted because the PC...

    D&D 5E (2014) With Respect to the Door and Expectations....The REAL Reason 5e Can't Unite the Base

    I think WotC gives 4e players for granted and will automatically buy anything with the D&D brand on it, while at the same time trying to get back from the evil clutches of Paizo the market segment that thinks they are the devil and refused to continue buying from them, using a franskenstein...

    Would this work? Half-elf Dilletente question

    Now that we're talking about half elves, I think I found another combo that I don't know if it's legal or not. It consists of taking as your dilettante power one of the skald's at wills (they are classified as bard attacks) that enhance your basic attacks. They benefits allies in your skald's...

    Even Newer(er) Tavern Thread: The Hanged Man

    Not long after Vermitrax, a tall human figure enters the tavern too. This time is covered head to toe in metal... or, on a closer look, he's made of it. And not like a common warforged, but for what can be seen behind his adamantine armor plates, a clockwork mechanism of intrincate pieces of...

    Kickstarter Too many Kickstarter projects? Is Kickstarter the new d20 glut?

    But in the bloated and ruthless environment that's Kickstarter now you'll need a good campaing to make your kickstarter known, a campaign that will take money! So I propose a kickstarter to get funds for a campaing for a kickstarter to hire the guy that sorts the kickstarters.

    D&D 4E What Do You Like About 4e?

    *As a DM who likes to use his own settings, the number of D&Disms woven into the rules is much reduced compared with previous editions, who depended on setting structures like alignment, planar cosmology or power source to properly use class abilities or basic mechanics like healing. I can play...

    [Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    Ah, I supposed we had to calculate it ourselves. I hope it matches my numbers (1000 xp flat reward plus 383 xp time, and 858 gp) since I reach level 9 with just 7 experience points to spare. In any case, we've playing this adventure for almost exactly a year! Thanks for the ride, Dimsdale, it's...

    +++No, no, you heard wrong. They're going to kiss the dragon. No need to worry+++ +++Come, let's go back to the tavern as your necromancer suggests+++ Thanks

    D&D 5E (2014) How much should 5e aim at balance?

    Well, the quote is wrong. What it should read is "if the fighter is special, my mage isn't"

    D&D 5E (2014) How Can D&D Next Win You Over?

    One of these powers belongs to a class who gets his abilities from ritualistic formulas. Other to a class who can do supernatural things because he sings very well. Other gets his powers from very powerful outsiders. Other because he believes very firmly into a cause. Other from communing with...

    [Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    Last reward was 21 days ago. How's this new one calculated? Proportional to the days, one complete month, or nothing since we should only count complete months? In any case, may I ask for a second review of Prime? I only need the non-judge approval

    [Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    +++Actually the room we came from was also filled with skeletons, including one of those large ones+++ +++You were lucky they were stupid enough to not know how to open doors+++ After this, the automaton seemingly loses interest in the cnversation, instead walking up to Halleck. From a...

    [Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    The contruct isn't like the kind of what you may be used to met in the Hanged Man; this one look slike a clockwork automata. His face is a finely crafter metallic faceplate without moving parts, so you wonder how he does spek. The answer is simple; he doesn't. Instead, spinning tiles form words...

    [Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    I don't think I mind at all. Since you killed the lich with the OA, the only enemy Zharne can use his Blood (bone?) Spray Bite attack on is TW3. That added with your attack should kill the last skeleton standing, so I suppose the combat is over

    [Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    Prime's caught off-guard by the first blow, which finds a space between his armor plates and actually damage some of his internal mechanisms. Barely able deflecting the following flurry of strikes, he doesn't see any opportunity to strike back. Immediate interrupt: Shield edge block when...

    Flying Fighters and Other Stories of Dependence, Independence and Interdependence

    That's going to be a problem as long the wizard has the non-schtick of “is able to cast all spells”, and spells being tacitly defined as the thing that not only follows no rules but also can break the game's basic rules. But we know that's not going to change soon, and certainly not in 5e.

    Teleportation

    The Witcher setting also has mages able to teleport in a very D&D compatible way (teleporting is also an important part of the plot in some of the books). Generally it's "balanced" by the fact that every mage powerful enough for it either are complete bastards, have an agenda, or most of the...
