    D&D 5E (2014) Will we see a DMG option to cap hitpoints?

    For example, like earlier editions where you only got +1/+2 after 9th level. Do you expect to see any options like that in the DMG? Currently you could expect (on average): Lower bound (wizard, let's say -1 for CON): At 10th Level = 32 At 20th Level = 62 Upper bound (barbarian, say +3 for...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&DNext WotC Adventures

    Correct me if I'm wrong, in published date order: Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle Murder in Baldur's Gate Legacy of the Crystal Shard Scourge of the Sword Coast That's all right? I've read a few reviews of the first two, but has anyone played the last couple and are they any good? I'm thinking...

    D&D 5E (2014) Druids and shape changing – I don't like it!!

    Druids and shape changing – I don't like it!! Ok I'm going to be grumpy. What is with Druids and shape changing?? It's so lame, I hate it with a passion. It makes the Druid a non-playable/gm-able class for me. Where did it come from??? Rant over. Other than that I'm really enjoying this final...

    D&D 5E (2014) House Rules for DnD Next

    Bruce Heard + Mystara + Kickstarter [Hypothetical + Cross Post]

    So this is a cross post from rpg.net (hope that's ok). Basically I started wondering simply how much money could Bruce Heard raise on Kickstarter to work on new Mystara/Known World (Original/BECMI D&D) products? Of course he can't actually do this because WotC own all the copyrights...so this...

    D&D 5E (2014) *Finally* read playtest 2 - 2d10 time!

    Finally read (but not yet played) the playtest 2 materials...and I very much like it. As soon as I am able I'll be starting a campaign with it - there's definitely enough of a core system here to get underway with (my games always involve a lot of rules improvisation anyway, and my players enjoy...

    orc's furious charge and granting advantage

    Sorry if this is a silly question (or if not ok by the T&C), but I really don't understand when I read the orc's furious charge. It "grants advantage" in this case, but to whom? The orc or the person he attacked? Thanks.
