One of the things I like about The Starfinder Roleplaying Game is that anyone can make two attacks at -4/-4 instead of their normal attack bonus for a single attack. Our group added that rule to our house rules for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, this past weekend and it worked great...

Has anyone heard whether or not Sandy Peterson will release a version of his Cthulhu Mythos for fifth edition?

When creating homebrewed magic items or converting items from other editions, what are the factors that should determine whether or not the item should or should not require attunement?

Hi, everyone. I'm considering converting a few of the 5E classes to Pathfinder for a particular set of adventures that use the Pathfinder ruleset. After being on a 5E kick for a while, I'm feeling the draw to return to Pathfinder for the crunch. However, 5E seems to give characters things for...

A while back, I read an article about skill checks (stealth, investigation, ect...) where the player shouldn't be certain of the result, but I cannot remember where I saw the article. Basically, it suggested that both the DM and the player would roll for the character, but only the DM knew...

Hi, everyone. When creating a homebrewed class for AD&D or OSRIC (or converting a class version from a later edition to 1E), what is the best and most proper method of coming up with the right Experience Point progression for the class? Thank you.

Hello, everyone, I'm working on some homebrewed variant classes based on 1st edition for my 5th edtion game. One of the old 1E classes, in particular, the Druid has class features that are gained above 20th level (based on Unearthed Arcana). Also, there are beings in Deities & Demigods (or...

So, our group recently got to play several sessions of D&D 5E over the past few weekends. More than we've gotten to play consistently in quite some time, so that is good. Lots of fun. However, one of the players has noted that it's very easy to hit the monsters. It seems a lot easier than...

Hello, everyone. I'm considering giving all the characters the option of having a feat at first level. At first, I'd considered just letting all the characters have a feat for free. But, then I thought that I really didn't want to force all the players to pick a feat (as some wouldn't want...

Do monks of sizes other than medium do different damage? If so, where do I find the different damages based upon size? Does it work like weapon dice damage for monsters of different sizes?

Am I correct that there isn't any such thing as non-lethal damage in 5E?

From the Player's Handbook, I'm having difficulty determining whether a drow applies her proficiency bonus to any spell save difficulty checks. :confused::confused: Checking the Monster Manual doesn't seem to help, either (since the drow in the MM don't follow the same rules as PCs), but the...

Hi, everyone. Although I've had the 5E DMG for a few weeks, now, I haven't had an opportunity to really dig into it, yet. Did any magical weapons with the keen property make it into 5th edition? Something like the old 3X/PF keen weapons that score criticals on double the normal range or, at...

(Ignoring the differences in the underlying math in both systems...) Is it fair to say that one 5E Feat is worth about the same as three PF/3X Feats?

The 2nd level spell, enhance ability, has six variations (one benefitting each ability score). Would you, as a DM, allow all six variations to affect a single target creature at the same time (assuming six casters maintaining concentration for the duration)? Or, would you rule that the...

If you were importing the falchion to DnD 5E, would you give it the finesse property? Why? Or, why not? Thank you.

In looking at D&D 5E Basic (still waiting for my PHB to arrive), I only see one shield listed. However, I'm wondering which shield of those in PF that shield represents. It's listed as weighing six pounds, which puts it closer to the weight of the PF Light Wooden and Light Steel Shields...

First, thank you for reading. Second, my apologies, as I won't receive my copy of the 5E D&D Player's Handbook until the end of the month. I'm working on converting some 3.5 and PF classes to 5E for our long-running campaign. We started in 3.5 rules and then converted to PF. Now, we're...

B-) Are there any good novels about a person or group exploring a megadungeon? Or, just about dungeon exporation? I'm primarily interested in novels about the subject. Thanks.

My players have recently gained control of a hotel (in game) and want to dig out a secret area below the hotel. Where is the best place to look for rules that can be used as a guide to how long this will take, what feats/skills might be useful, and what it will cost? I'm also interested in...
