Hey grognards. The timelines I can find on Google seem to indicate that some kind of canonical events were happening in Greyhawk after the big war ended (which I think was CY 582). Did anything interesting, inspiring, noteworthy, or hilariously fun happen to the setting in the intervening...

In previous editions, the most broken stuff lived right in the Core rulebook. Back in 3.x, sufficiently well-played Clerics, Wizards, and Druids could break any game without PrCs or multi-classing. 5e seems to have addressed that imbalance. Hopefully, they'll continue to keep game balance...

I like the idea of Prestige Classes, but I don't like this one. IMHO it seems like this Rune Magic thing could be a Spellcaster-oriented feat and four rare items (the Master Runes) which you'd have to Attune as normal. (Generally, in 5e it seems like all the stuff which Prestige Classes used...

IMHO anyone moving would get pinpointed. That includes rolling over in your sleep, but not merely breathing. Monsters in hammocks would be immune to detection, because hammocks are awesome.

Awesome, I look forward to your feedback! Yeah, some of the Vestiges are more niche than others. Some are better in combo, or in specific situations... that's partly deliberate, but it's partly that all campaigns are different, and I can't know what's going to be valuable in yours. Like, for...

I shall look forward to your feedback!

I came here to say this. IMHO the issue isn't Medium Armor itself, it's the lackluster Medium Armor Master feat which is not competitive with the other specific armor feats.

I'd love to see stuff like 3.5e's White Raven and 4e's Lazy Warlord.

Nifft's Binder Class Features As a Binder, you gain the following class features. Hit Points Hit Dice: 1d8 per binder level Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per binder level after 1st Proficiencies...

5e Chameleon "Someone called for a cleric? Oh, you needed a fighter instead? I'm sorry -- I meant to say that the cleric is on his way. I'm the fighter." -- Jonata Quimbel Sometimes it's good to be a fighter, able to wield any weapon. Other times, you'd be better off as a rogue, with stealth...

There are a lot of spells out there. There are a lot of vestiges, which can replicate or otherwise obviate certain spells. Has anyone made a list of which spells go well with which vestiges? Or which spells are unusually good for an Anima Mage? Thanks!

The difference should be obvious. Hobgoblins are orange. Orcs are green.

So basically, we ought to rename that spell as landrover.

"The blade functions as a normal weapon, except as follows." OH LORD, SAVE ME FROM THE JARGON! (In case it's not clear, this means: there is no requirement for jargon. Just clearer writing.) The spell's intention is not actually written anywhere. You are assuming one intention, and I'm trying...

(Moon) Druids are fine in melee because of Wild Shape, which is not a Concentration effect. I think your point is that bad writing is not limited to omission, and that an over-abundance of detail can also be bad. That's also true -- but not relevant to this situation. The existence of other...

Flame Blade is a Concentration spell which requires the caster to remain in melee range. You cannot expect to use Flame Blade for any particular duration. It's not a strong spell. Everything falls within the purview of the DM to shape. Everything. That's not a special bonus which sloppy...

It's difficult to say, because the spell Flame Blade is quite underwhelming without OA or bonus action attacks. Nah, be honest: it's a cop-out. The rules say: Hey DM, we could have thought about this, but instead, we're going to make you spend some time thinking about it -- and we'll make...

Hmm. That possibly says two things, though. - You may only use this special action to make any kind of melee attack; ~or~ - You may use this special action to make a spell melee attack. So IMHO a valid interpretation might be that you could make non-spell melee attacks normally with the blade...

That makes some sense. Hmm, but now I wonder if that means you can't make Opportunity Attacks or TWF attacks with a Flame Blade?

Flame Blade creates a weapon which deals damage that scales with level, but I haven't seen anyone saying that it's too strong for a multi-class (e.g. Druid / Fighter or whatever).
