about to run a game, a few questions. 1. the archer based fighter uses leather armor because he would suffer disadvantage if he used heavier armor? is that right? 2. the tools, and proficiency in them, are required for certain skills. other than that there is no bonus. is that right? 3...

Hi, can anyone point me to a decent sum-up of 5e? I couldn't fine anything on google, here or on youtube that made any sense. there was a playtest? and its down? can you get a copy of the basic rules somewhere? Sorry if this thread topic has been done to death but it has been a few years...

what options for 5e would be "impossible"? Some quick guesses... 1. variable xp progression 2. traditional late game domination of the wizard class, and the hyper vulnerability at low levels. 3. Thaco It would be cool to come up with a bunch and somehow WOTC deliveres it all in a perfect...

Can you consider a blast or burst attack to be melee if the target is adjacent? What if you are using a melee weapon as an implement? Can you be considered flanking, and get combat advantage using a blast, burst or ranged attack if you are in fact flanking the target? Can you choose to use a...

I got a 19!

the whisperknife pp has an ability called "dagger threat" -- You don't provoke OA's when you make a ranged attack with a light blade. -- My question is, would a bard get this benefit using a songblade-enchanted-light blade to make a ranged implement attack? (provided he took the pp etc)

What if I told you... I did! Is it about dnd? Not really, it is a super hero-comedy/horror ... BUT one of the main characters is a dnd nerd, there is a dnd theme song and some dnd cartoon illustrations. check it out at Jessbot3000 the movie or look up "jessbot3000" on youtube YouTube -...

I'm a big fan of the parcel system, but I like to generate my treasure more or less randomly... yet it typically takes an annoying amount of time to roll it up and write it down, especially on the fly. So I chopped up my AV into little bitty pieces, and stuffed the cut-out magic items in a...

So my players defeated a series of mini-game/skill challenges where they lived out past lives as animals, but the reward was pretty lame. They may now choose to appear as their "spirit animal", as an illusion. I kind of think this is lame for a lot of reasons. Anyone got a better idea for an...

Just perusing "the shaping of middle-earth" when I encountered this bit, concerning the original warring between dwarves and elves over a giant pile of cursed dragon-gold: "There many Elves and Dwarves were slain, and the howe wherein they were laid in Doriath was named Cum-nan-Arasaith, the...

If a player does not want to swap out any of their old powers when the time comes (gaining a new daily) - are there any rules to boost the old power so it's sorta equivalent to the new level? Like +2 to hit added on to it or something? I'm 99% certain my player is going to want to keep knockout...

When using close quarters, does a rogue go along for the ride if the victim teleports? "When the creature moves, you move along with it, staying in the same portion of the creature’s space." from the phb, teleportation definition: "No Opportunity Attacks: Your movement doesn’t provoke...

what happens with simultaneous triggers? For example, if two powers trigger when someone reaches 0 hp, which one goes first?

A lot of people seem to be bothered about the stun effect. From what I can tell, the logic goes something like this: "Being stunned = skipping a turn, which = not very fun, ergo stun is not very fun. The whole point of playing is to have fun, so stun needs to be adjusted" If you agree with...

Is there going to be more added to the adventure tools? and what? The monster builder is wicked, but it looks like there's space for four more buttons on the intro screen there... are those just graphical or are there plans for them? I'd like: 1. an adventure and campaign structure/template...

How does the full discipline for the monk work? Do you get to use the move action power AND the standard action power? Or do you choose one of them? I get that you can't use power A's move ability and then power B's standard action ability...

Does anyone know of/remember a ps2 game where you are a barbarian, who runs around from dungeon room to dungeon room solving puzzles? Like push a thing over there, jump up on the other thing, pull the lever ... there was no fighting at all you just had to solve the puzzle and move to the next...

I want to play dnd on that big ice projector thingie (whatever it is) that they used at the opening ceremony of the winter games. Those whales were awesome! I want to attack my friends with virtual whales please.

Has there always been a presumed party size for each version of dnd? What were the most common class/race combos? (or just race in bdnd I guess) What dominated class builds for each edition? Such as two weapon fighting and weapon specialization for 2e, for example. What were the most classic...
