    D&D 5E Criticizing the new edition of D&D (because I like it a lot)

    I really like D&D 5th edition so far. I'm excited. I'm invested. It did a lot things right. But it's not perfect. I want D&D 5th edition to be everything that it can be. I don't want it to settle for 'good enough'. Not after this much public play-testing. To wit... Feats Stop treating feats...

    D&D 5E What the heck were they thinking?! There's going to be "fire" in D&D 5th Edition!?

    This just confirmed from a quote by Bruce Cordell. "Playtested in the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. My cleric burned several downed trolls before they could finish off the unconscious paladin." Where there is burning, there is fire. Where there is fire, there are fireballs. Where there are...

    The elemental savant from Complete Arcane

    The elemental savant from Complete Arcane lists electricity as an air energy and acid as an earth energy. Lightning is the build up of electrical potential between cloud and ground generated by the magnetic field of the planet "earth". Even the lightning that arcs from cloud to cloud is a...

    I'm going to feel stupid asking this question...

    What's the difference between a regular action and an attack action? A regular action can only be performed once per round, along with a move action. Is an "attack action" one of multiple actions in a full round action (like one of two multiple attacks from a +6/+1 base attack bonus), or is an...

    Who wrote the original Deities and Demigods from TSR?

    Who wrote the original Deities and Demigods from TSR? Was it Gary or was the book parceled out to a host of writers? In particular I'm trying to find out who originally created Kurtulmak, the god of kobolds. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Gnoll and lizardfolk challenge ratings (is there a difference?)

    Compare gnolls to lizardfolk. Both are 2 Hit Dice creatures with a +1 Level Adjustment and both have attribute modifiers that total +2. Now ask yourself... are these monsters evenly balanced? Lizardfolk start off with three class skill, three +4 skill bonuses, two racial languages, simple...

    Rules for making golems (terracotta warriors)

    I'm looking at the construct construction rules, but they aren't very edifying. They only give values for making the printed golems. Not golems of any size or HD. I'm trying to make a 2 HD (CR 3) clay golem to represent a "terracotta warrior" that adheres to the official rules. Has anybody...

    Okay, here goes ... can I get the stats for a "carp"?

    I'm looking for the statistics of a typical fish. I figure a typical fish would range between Diminutive and Small in size. Does something like this already exist, or would it have to be designed from scratch?

    Are there official rules for "lack of sleep"?

    I know there are fatigue rules caused by forced marching and the like, but what about lack of sleep? Is it right under my nose in one of the core rulebooks and I just missed it? Kolja

    Weapon and armor proficiences for racial classes

    As per the racial classes that Sean wrote for the Wizards of the Coast web site, located here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20030824a), what are the weapon and armor proficiences for a drow? For a druegar? For any race? More importantly, how do you figure it out on your own? Do...

    Armor as Damage Reduction (how to make it work for you)

    I've been using armor as damage reduction for a while now, and with no significant slow down in game play (after the initial learning curve). But I did have to make some systemic changes to combat. First of all, I made it so that Dexterity modifies "all" attack rolls to hit. This may seem like...

    Canny Defense (and other abilities like it)

    I'm curious if anybody knows why this ability was changed between versions 3.0 and 3.5. In the original version of this ability (and abilities like it) the entire Intelligence bonus was factored in all at once. This makes sense to me. A prestige class with this ability (always gained at first...

    How much does it cost to make a 0-level spell scroll?

    Spell level x caster level x 25 gp = 0 gp and 0 xp by my calculations. Can this be correct? Is there a rule somewhere that I missed?

    Attaching PDF files...

    How do you attach a PDF file? I have one that is 102K large. I followed the Manage Attachment link, browsed to the file, and clicked "add". Nothing. What's the trick? Is the file too large?

    D&D 3E/3.5 Revised 3.5 ranger (or) the it's-never-too-soon-to-improve-on-official-design thread

    It's that time again ... to publicly question the printed rules of Wizards of the Coast. Who am I kidding? It's always that time. :cool: For the moment, my attentions are being directed at the 3.5 edition ranger. Some of you (who just finished reading the title of this thread) will already be...

    How do you sunder armor that is worn by your opponent?

    For all those people who just clicked on this thread to tell me that you can't sunder armor that is worn, don't bother. I read the rules too. It says so right there on page 158 of the new Player's Handbook, second column, first sentence. "You can't sunder armor worn by another character."...
