In reply to Wolfskin's DDI comment: I noticed, following this week's WotC account update, that my account will grant me the ability "to read D&D Insider" materials, whatever that means. At the very least, the DDI label remains.

This thread has 9 lives. My first 5E PHB starting falling apart within less than two weeks. I expect its replacement to eventually do the same, and this may be what I do with it. Many, many of my friends have done this with small textbooks because they like to lay them flat or fold them in...

Ari made a Monster Sorter, also? :lol: Can anyone provide a link? My google-fu is leading me to a dead document, rather than a functional sorter.

The Druid and Ranger, in my opinion, don't feel well crafted at all. I completely skipped the playtest, so I'm ignorant of what was included. Were these two classes playtested less extensively? They certainly feel like they were. Likes: I like how quickly combat runs, and that magic feels...

Edit: I've added sblocks. Hopefully, my spoiler was vague enough to not spoil too much.

The blue fire was raw, wild magic, unbound from the Weave at the time of Mystra's death. It's effects were unpredictable, but often lethal. Spellscars were uncommon, and not always the result of direct exposure to Spellplague. Some people simply developed them. We actually can say with near...

I am in total agreement. The novelty of playing the squire, apprentice or whatnot is far outweighed by the problems you addressed above. This is definitely not for me. I'd have to respectfully decline playing if I had to start over with an arbitrary (in my opinion) level penalty after losing my...

I didn't see this post, somehow, before typing my own. Lots of good points here. I definitely agree that the bar has to be set for the setting itself before a town should be crafted. You've likely already done this in your mind, but we won't be able to give as useful of input until we know how...

As Boarstorm says, a bit more information would be useful. Things like population are a huge factor. How big is this town/city? Most cities in medieval times had a few thousand residents, at most. Only the major cities of Europe had large populations comparable to those we often see in DnD...

The bartender's death is unfortunate, but I don't think even that necessarily turns public opinion against the party. Phandalin is a small town being held hostage by the Red Brands. The bar owner likely made herself hated by serving the Red Brands, even if they chose her bar more than she chose...
