    D&D General Wildly Diverse "Circus Troupe" Adventuring Parties

    This is not a healthy attitude to still have - firstly it has been years and secondly many of the ideas of 4e have found themselves in later editions and other games. And plenty of us champion many of these ideas now, even when we didn't appreciate the edition at the time.

    Player skill vs character skill?

    My table is 16th level, I do not spoon feed them anymore particularly if I'm using map and key. The party took on the ancient blue wyrm Iymrith and won, but knowing (and having seen) that blue dragons burrow - they did not think to search the "treasure room" for buried treasure. They used...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    This was great -= thanks for sharing. I assume that because grid movement was not a concern at it seems in the above play example you allowed leeway with how much area was covered via the move action?

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    Yeah fully agree. I have quite the appreciation for how the tiered system worked in 4e, how the progressive engine catered for that (including the use of minions) and its why I favour a system where the first few levels of 5e get traded out (when at high level) for passive benefits to accentuate...

    I recognise only Ilsundal and Kagyar, the rest are imposters I say... EDIT: Ordana and Mealiden Starwatcher are also acceptable

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    Oh I meant it as a once off before the list of creatures like the MM has explanations of things earlier in the book before all the monsters.

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    Man I wish I had this level of insight into how to roleplay gargoyles just a few weeks earlier when I threw 30 of them at the PCs...ah missed opportunities.

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    I'm on your side of the pond, but further South. Hope you and the Mrs recover soon. If you are tying LA to the reactions then change the name to LR. It is not confusing at all. If you are worried about it, write a sentence or two about it prior the monster/deity write-ups clarifying it.

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    I ask because we have homebrewed so much to the point where I cannot honestly comment on RAW PC versus monsters anymore - also we have been focusing on higher levels last few years. The PCs are more powerful at our table due to the use of HD but that is reined in via our exhaustion track, the...

    You're saying per RAW 4 x 13th level pcs (feats + magical items) versus CR23 is doable?

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    I think it comes down to the setting reality. So, I have a level cap of 9 for PCs and NPCs. Something extraordinary needs to happen to awaken or empower the individual to go beyond level 9. Now I realise there is nothing in the game that stipulates this, but having level 20 characters casually...
