Not all doors are wooden, it is simply that it is assumed a door is wooden unless the adventure mentions otherwise. Each level has a list of possible wandering monster encounters, though it is not in table form.

You could definitely, each level is basically its own dungeon with its own themes and usually own self contained situations. Though on the other hand every level has huge halaster elements and the whole megadungeon is disjointed and crazy

A very nice review, and I one that I agree with for the most part. For me, however, there are multiple parts in the book that I wish were fleshed out much much more. The faction quests in particular, and some of the steps along the way of the investigation, are either completed with a single...

A neat idea and the design is good, but my personal preference would be for a cleaner background, like getting rid of the bloodstain and parchment effect and going with white or a color like the one inside the ability score box so the text stands more on it's own. Or even keeping the parchment...

Not to derail your response, but there is indeed a rule that allows the DM to choose to allow feats and multiclassing in 5e unless I am very much mistaken.

Not saying you're being false, but I'd be interested in seeing a source for this. I was under the impression that Magic has been doing swimmingly.

I do the optional rule in the DMG with some tweaks: where a short rest is an overnight and a long rest is a full day in a safe place with access to food and water. However, I also do a thing with camping for the night: if the party has access to fresh food, have water or alcohol, and someone...

Out of context, Ravnica as a D&D setting is a very very good move. It's one of the most popular (if not THE most popular) Magic settings and it is so distinct from Faerun that it should hold some interest to D&D non-magic players. In context, after the build up, if it is the only announcement...

The answer is in past editions alignment and sticking to an oath/code of honor/path/ideal for the special classes (ranger/paladin/druid/etc) was indeed part of the "balance" in exchange for all the cool stuff you got. So that's sort of become imprinted in the genetics of the overarching...

I'll be honest, I play monsters/enemies with pretty consistent strategies. Beasts, animals, monstrous non-humanoids? They attack the closest thing they can, leaping into the fray and dealing death as they can. Clever goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds? They never ever ever on purpose engage front...

That's been my experience as well. The optimisers I know, when not multiclassing, all use martials. Currently there's a gloom stalker in a game I'm playing in who's first turn nova outpaces my wizard almost every combat, because I'm trying to save slots and they don't have to. It's not...

Option 8) Use one of the other actual TSR/WotC settings from editions beforehand. I ran Al-Qadim while converting the boxed sets on the fly and it was fantastically fun. I did the first two modules for Dragonlance during the playtest. The great 1st edition material for Greyhawk would work...

Where did I say that it was lacking in any indicators other than gender? There is no fault, because nothing wrong has happened. It's a non issue. Because that is not a standard indicated by the rules? Because the rules allow me to play a different gendered character whether or not my...

We're role playing around a kitchen table not performing high theater. If you don't figure out that someone at the table is playing a character that identifies as female until the fifth session they didn't "fail", it just hasn't come up yet. If someone in a group I was playing in told me I had...

The feat relies on the assumed encounter work-load, but I think most people do much less encounters per day and thus Lucky becomes really quite good because you're rolling overall like a third of the assumed rolls (roughly) the system thinks you'd be making. It's why I'm switching my rests to...

This might muddy the water more than help, but I think it best to remember what the level ranges meant for the old books. When it says for characters level 1-3, it means that the adventure was built for characters that are 1, 2, or 3 from the beginning of the adventure rather than it is an...

Mentioned it elsewhere, but it would be neat if this were part 1 in a series, much like the Tiamat books. That's my genie-wish anyway. Book is proper big for a small level range still, though. Waterdeep must be quite well defined indeed. There was mention of replayability and seeing different...

I highly doubt this will be the final word. All the RPG forums would shut down without this frankly tangential side of the games, wherein experts white room a million possibilities that hardly ever happen at a real table. I play a lot of martial characters. I've played a champion without feats...

Since the level range is 1-5, I wonder what the chances are this book is actually the first of two adventures similar to the Tiamat books? It'd be neat if this is followed up by an Undermountain one. Edit: Somehow missed this prediction already being made up-thread. Let's cross our fingers...
