    D&D 5E Chapters/Indigo and the death of the FLGS

    There's a shipping option to pick it up at whatever location you want. So you could pre-order it, and when it's available for pickup at the location you pick, you'll get an email and can go get it at the cash registers rather than off the shelf.

    D&D 5E Chapters/Indigo and the death of the FLGS

    It's also possible that WotC simply doesn't have control over release dates with this part of distribution. Chapters might have a list of publishers that they sell sufficient volumes that they actually will pay attention to release dates and if you're not big enough for them to care, if it...

    D&D 5E Perception in 5e, discuss how it works

    I'm rethinking this whole issue. I'm going to have to go through the descriptions again and write down every instance of characters gaining awareness of something through a skill roll and figuring it all out. It looks like you could justify a variety of approaches using the rules and it'll be...

    D&D 5E The Ranger: You got spellcasting in my peanut butter!

    The more I think about it the more reskinning magic as not magic doesn't really work for me either. What will be interesting is how they handle multiclassing and how much the ranger has its wilderness class features front loaded onto level 1. If it ends up being that level 1 is where all the...

    D&D 5E Perception in 5e, discuss how it works

    My solution to this whole issue is to concentrate on the core of game play. 1) DM describes situation 2) Players describe what their characters do. 3) DM describes results and the new situation So if there's a trap on the ground and they declare that they are just walking right up the...

    D&D 5E The Ranger: You got spellcasting in my peanut butter!

    Of the classes we have seen so far, are there enough class features front loaded at level 1 that anyone who wants a non-magic ranger can take it for a level or two and then switch to multiclassing rogue or fighter? Or have class features been too distributed across all levels? The main issue...

    D&D 5E Beyond 20th level - 5Epic?

    Cool idea. I wouldn't do it, but I imagine there are people out there who see leveling up as integral to the D&D experience, even if they're playing at very high power levels. I figured another 10 levels gives those that want it the ability to level up through a series of levels above the...

    D&D 5E Beyond 20th level - 5Epic?

    The basic PDF mentioned that the ability scores have a hard limit of 30 even for god level beings. So I expect "epic" play will work fine within the existing framework. Another 10 levels for each class and more monsters and spells and things should be good with minimal work.

    D&D 5E Surf's D&D 5e Monster Analysis

    Well when you combine it with the ability to choose to knock out when you reduce someone to zero, I can see the boisterous god of drinking taking a punch to the chin, smiling and clocking the guy on the head for 100+ damage and just knocking him out. It reminds me of the old 80s Hercules comics...

    D&D 5E Surf's D&D 5e Monster Analysis

    It's very interesting that a god like being will end up being an appropriate foe for a party of the highest level characters, while they are still within a bounded range from level 1 characters. I really like that. As long as we don't have a situation where skill DCs and monster stats pretty...

    D&D 5E Other PCs for the Starter Set?

    D&D 5E Surf's D&D 5e Monster Analysis

    I for one am glad you wrote two introductory posts. I ended up reading them again after reading part 3. Given the ability score cap of 30 even for god-like beings, I think your prediction of very high CR monsters in the Monster Manual is probably going to be correct. Ability scores scale...

    First 5e house rule - Brutal Hit!

    That's a cool idea. Though I'm thinking of going for instant 0 hit points. Both dice with advantage come up 20? Target goes unconscious and starts making death saves.

    What makes an Old School Renaissance FEEL like an OSR game?

    I'm sorry, but I found the idea that you spontaneously came up with four categories of stance that happened to be exact same categories with almost identical names to an existing body of work to be very, very suspect. i couldn't tell if it was a subtle troll, intentional plagiarism, or someone...
