See I would peg that character as a barbarian more than a monk.

I could have lived with weapons getting their own assigned weapon masteries, but I think that taking the versatile one that most people hated and then just giving them all sap was a poor decision. I do think that it should have been you learn how to use a specific weapon mastery and could use it...

Since the decision to lower a price is under Hasbro's control I doubt you will ever see that. 20% off maybe but the big ones just won't happen.

So as both a player and a DM I love the change to backgrounds, it allows the dm to give final arbitration on how the society in their game looks. I have a concept of what I want I go with a proposal to the DM and they look at it and either say, OK, or tweak it and hand it back saying that that...

But I can see them not wanting to wait until they made a new Ravenloft or horror book since they wanted to try to capitalize on BG3 still.

Just to let you know that in the new books we have 2 new backgrounds that grant Tough, one is a mercenary guard type background the other is a Barbarian nomadic tribal like background

So to me a social criminal is a charlatan but I do agree that wisdom would have made more sense for that instead of con. As far as the criminal goes I can see con because you are around poisons, need endurance to put run guards, take a punch when things go wrong. I wish they had been more...

I really want a book like this for Eberron and for Ravenloft. This really is the best setting book 5e has done.

This is something that I find lots of people get in the trap of thinking. I have never noticed a time when my character having a +1 compared to other players wishing I would have done something different. Worse case scenario you have to go through lvls 1-3 with a +2 to your main stat. Since...

I completely agree, I could have also seen a mixture of both. Warrior of the open fist seems more appropriate than way since they don't have much of a spiritual aspect, maybe even shadow since they are so combative in my mind but most other names fit better with way and make your character feel...

So to me to see backgrounds as world building more than just character building. The examples of backgrounds in the ohb are generic. After looking at one of those if none really work for your character concept to go to your DM and talk to them about how your soldier was trained in a mixture of...

Since the slim Eberron book is still going to be hardback I don't think they will release a soft back version. Also the collection of softback books they tried for the last few settings were not well received.

My hope is a compendium so there might be a chapter on Ravenloft with certain classes, spells, and feats for that setting, then one for dark Sun and so on.

This is a name that I can get behind. The original name was changed in part due to the fact that Warrior of the Drunken Master is just a bad name. Warrior of Inebriation is even worse than Warrior of intoxication however Warrior of the Drunken Fiat at least sounds like a name you might hear

I am a little upset at this news seeing that I own leather hardcovers for all of A4e but more than that I am still waiting of physical copy to be delivered and from what they are saying I will get my physical 4e books about the same time as the digital 5 e books are released

I completely agree. While the stuff in Taha's is good it does need a little bit of tweaking, some more than others. The Beast Barbarian's natural weapons really need a redo thanks to how weapon mastery works same goes with Astral Self monk

Yeah I would use a first level spell slot to gain the extra damage and hp. I do love how the harvest will also trigger the extinguish ability.

The necromancer finally lets us play a minion focused necro. I am a little sad that their skeleton or zombie familiar don't benefit from the later class abilities but since it is a ritual spell I guess that makes it ok. The arcane archer is good, maybe a little to good compared to the battle...

So for me this is what levels 1 and 2 are for, by level 3 or even by level 9 at the latest you have entered into some pact with your patron. Maybe that book starts sending you messages in its blank page, you have dreams of your patron wanting you to be in service, you have a little voice in the...

I only have 2 horror stories between the DM and his players, one in d&d and one on Warhammer. On Warhammer the DM put us in a tomb with an unkillable enemy from which there was no escape. We were later told that their was a secret chamber which by the time we entered the tomb was sealed and...
