    Monster & Magic Item Cards Coming In February

    Thanks, I must have missed him when I was sifting through them. Pretty sure the Beholder wasn't there though, I specifically looked for that one.

    Monster & Magic Item Cards Coming In February

    I got these a while ago too. Somewhat annoyingly (and confusingly, given it's a licensed product) it doesn't have all the monsters in it. No Beholder of Mindflayer, for example.

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    Sorry, In retrospect it was obvious a moderator was going to step in on that one. I should have just let it go.

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    It's been a really interesting discussion so far with strong opinions on both sides being expressed civilly. I find the argument that businesses should be allowed to freely choose their clientele (and by extension refuse service to those they deem 'undesirable') fascinating. There was a high...

    D&D 5E Mage Hand Legerdemain...

    Mage Hand lets you open the door from a distance but to pick the lock, normally you have to get up close and personal for that. The rogue was never in any danger when doing her spotlight roguey stuff, it just felt a bit flat, boring and predictable. She stopped caring as she was never in any...

    D&D 5E Mage Hand Legerdemain...

    I don't like the Arcane Trickster because of this very ability. It effectively neutralises any and all traps fitted to locks. Pit trap opens in front of door: doesn't matter, I opened it from 30' away. Chest erupts with a gout of flame: doesn't matter, I opened it from 30' away. Scything blade...

    The Biggest RPG Story of the Year?

    What about game licenses? Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect or even Tamriel (Skyrim). An Elder Scrolls rpg would be pretty big news.

    D&D 5E DMing an old school module

    Treasure! The thing we noticed playing through ToEE and other 1st ed stuff is its positivly littered with magic and mundane loot. A rule of thumb we've come up with is down grade coins by one step (platinum becomes gold, gold becomes silver etc.) and ignore all +1 & +2 magic items and reduce all...

    D&D 5E Action Econ 101

    So a fighter of high enough level to get two attacks on an attack action can make another two attacks with his extra attack action granted by haste? For a total of four attacks while hasted?

    D&D 5E [Guidance] What, +1d4 to every check ever?

    It's been no problem in our game really, it's only been used a lot as we are paying a very Crystal Maze adventure (British TV reference). So there have been lots of ability checks. I got a little bored of casting it all the time but it was just too useful not to cast. I did worry it was messing...

    D&D 5E [Guidance] What, +1d4 to every check ever?

    After playing a cleric and using this cantrip a lot I can see some of the objections to it. Would this work, it only works on non proficient​ ability checks? Basically, it helps the unskilled only with divine favour.

    D&D 5E How do 1st level characters get their Hit Dice back?

    You get half your total back at a rest so that's 0.5 hit dice but the standard rule is to round down. So that's zero? It doesn't state 'minimum of 1' anywhere, so how do 1st level characters with only a single hit dice get them back? Am I missing something or is this just an oversight in the...
