    D&D 5E (2014) Advantage / Disadvantage in 5e

    Yes, but if you need a 15 on the roll instead of 16, you're better off with advantage (+4.2). ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Advantage / Disadvantage in 5e

    The link I provided gives the percent chance of rolling a particular number *or higher* if rolling two dice and choosing the highest. That's precisely what advantage is.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of Dragon Queen out-of-print?

    Highly unlikely. More likely is it's back ordered and the store owner mis-spoke.

    D&D 5E (2014) Advantage / Disadvantage in 5e

    So, I did the rest of the math, taking an average of the percent increase in the chance to roll any given number on a d20 if you roll two dice and take the higher of the two. The avg is 16.625%. Since the chance of rolling any single number on a d20 is 5%, then the avg bonus for advantage is +3.325.

    My players would freak if they showed up and that was on the table.

    http://www.avclub.com/article/mythbusters-adam-savage-painstakingly-recreated-sh-215826 Might need to be a tad bigger (hard to tell). I can see a Beholder chasing the PCs through the maze, with monsters around wrong turns.

    D&D 5E (2014) I thought that I had seen a Range limit to the sneak attack with the Ranged Weapon, 30 feet

    D&D 5E (2014) Concentration: Addressing Player Concerns

    So far it's been fairly easy to avoid losing concentration. On paper it may seem like concentration spells might be unreliable, but in practice they haven't been.

    ICv2 Fall/Winter 2014 Hobby Game Rankings: D&D Up To #1

    True, but for this segment of the market, we're seeing a trend of D&D becoming popular again. At Amazon we're also seeing a trend of D&D becoming popular again. At Roll20 we're seeing a trend of D&D becoming popular again. Lots of different market segments, similar trends.

    Greg Tito Is UHURA!

    From what I can gather, he originally posted an article about a female game creator claiming she'd been harassed. He later said he didn't do his due diligence. What I can't discern, however, is if the original article was in fact incorrect. The side that is saying it was incorrect seems to have...
