Have they released any full on supplements for 5e? Not just adventures, but real deal, "just new poo poo" books?

In November they are coming out with Volo's Guide to Monsters, which should have 100 or so new monsters, mostly from previous editions. It should also have at least a few new racial options for players. Firbolg, Triton, Orc, and Goblin at the very least.

Serperoth posted:I've been mulling this idea about a Sailor-background Bard with bagpipes, all jovial and in some de facto sorta-power cause she has a voice louder than the captain's and can better relay orders. I had a very similar idea to this, with the idea being that he sang sea shanties as his bardic music. But (with DM permission) I reflavored him to a swashbuckler rogue to be more in line with the campaign and with my expectations from the game.

Covok posted:Have they released any full on supplements for 5e? Not just adventures, but real deal, "just new poo poo" books? Oh heaven's yes, there's plenty! ...in 3rd party. Depths of Felk Morr is an old-school flavored megadungeon. Primeval Thule is a Conanesque Sword & Sorcery Campaign Setting. It also has a Player's Guide and Adventure Anthology. Amethyst: Quintessence is a 5E conversion of the Amethyst setting. Men & Monsters of Ethiopia draws on ideas and tropes from Ethiopian folkore. Book of Lost Magic is a collection of new spells. It got quite a bit of criticism rules-wise because many felt it was a straight port from earlier 3.X books, most notably the lack of more powerful versions when prepared in a higher level spell slot. Fifth Edition Foes is a bestiary. Book of Heroic Races: Player Races 1 has racial options for things such as catfolk, tengu, etc. Libertad! fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Jun 19, 2016 |

You don't have to be a lute-playing entertainer - you can be a lorekeeper who is a master of stories, or a namer who knows the words that change the world, or a warlord who exhorts allies with his rallying call, or a skald warrior-poet who writes odes to his fallen enemies, or a scholar who seeks to understand the world and pinch the harmonics of reality, like those dudes from Loom.

I assume the modern campaign setting they did for 4e. The other option is not beyond possibility, but I would doubt it.

FRINGE posted:Wait, like "Princess of Gemworld" Amethyst? No magical girls yet for 5E, sadly. Amethys is a "modern fantasy" setting where magic and feylike beings converged with near-future Earth, so you have dragons fighting jet fighters, ghosts in subway tunnels, etc. It first began as a 3.5 book, but then got converted into a shitload of other rulesets, from 4E to Pathfinder to FATE to Savage Worlds and probably a few more I can't recall. Oh hey, that reminds me of something. Build-wise, what classes and spells can best replicate a magical girl in 5E? I was thinking something like Sailor Moon, Star from "Star vs. the Forces of Evil," etc. A reflavored Warlock Eldritch Blast sounds the most obvious, but I wanted to know if that's the best route?

Latest survey results are out. http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/june-2016-dd-survey Short form: revenant not really successful, inquisitive rogue okay, and as for the Monster Hunter fighter... Mike Mearls posted:The results for the Monster Hunter suggested an interesting direction for the fighter. I feel like the Battle Master fighter is one of the sorest spots in the Player’s Handbook. It falls flat in conveying flavor. Could that *possibly* be because the BM is restricted to the simplest, blandest combat maneuvers imaginable? Gee I dunno!

It gets a bunch of similarly generic bonuses and maneuvers but has some flavour text about you being good at fighting werewolves, and you get a language and a couple skills or something. I actually just discovered that UA and by god it has some horrible 'natural language' in it: quote:Whenever you make a Wisdom (Insight) check to sense if a creature is lying, you use the total of your check or 8 + your Wisdom modifier, whichever is higher. If you are proficient in Insight, you add your proficiency bonus to the fixed result. If you chose Insight as a skill augmented by your Expertise feature, add double your proficiency bonus. The mechanics of this game apparently disallow you from writing "8 + your Wisdom (Insight) bonus" and requires several sentences to clarify that your proficiency applies to the skill that you have proficiency in and your expertise applies to the skill you have expertise in, here is how those things apply.

BWAR the gorebard. An Orc with an extremely "traditional" tribal costume who sings/screams songs about violence and bloodshed while thrashing on a discordant stringed instrument. Bonus points if you can get a codpiece with an endless bottle of red water that sprays out of it.

The Critic. Trained in countless artistic fields he refuses to display, but capable of dissecting any piece/event/movement in a few quips and witticisms. Critique everything. Make people fall over with a disparaging remark about their choice of footwear. Write reports of your adventures that are published in newspapers across the region, with lurid and scathing reviews concerning the quality of architecture/trap/enemies you faced. Be feared but feted by every restaurant and shop in town as they hope for that priceless good review of their services.

There's already something in the rules that accomplishes exactly this. The end result is just a modified Reliable Talent feature from the rogue class. It could just read "When making an insight check to determine if a creature is lying, treat a d20 roll of 7 or lower as an 8." Boom, one sentence.
