Glagha posted:So beyond actually gives you a PDF or some similar format? I've never used it before so I don't know how that content is provided. Similar format. nelson posted:Sort of. It gives you a digital book you can read via the app or the website. It also includes a nifty character builder with the content from whatever digital books you’ve purchased from them. You can download the books to your phone but I believe it requires an internet connection to access them. If you download the books to your phone from beyond you don't need a connection. But the website requires one.

And Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes came out which has a lot of high level monsters. (Over half the creatures are CR 10 or higher.) MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Dec 4, 2018 |

clusterfuck posted:Hey hivemind I'd never read much Eberron before and now I'm frankensteining it into my campaign don't dogpile me for my poo poo choices please. What are the best modules or books (any edition) that have something unique to Eberron? What are the definitive Eberron books? Keith Baker the creator of Eberron and Wizards fairly recently released a PDF that is a good starting point. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/247882/Wayfinders-Guide-to-Eberron-5e?src=newest_in_5e

Arthil posted:We actually took that concept for another region that is heavily connected to the elemental planes, so that y'know. You have stuff like that without needing to enslave the elementals to do it. Elementals are not sentient. Well some are, but not the type that are bound to objects. A basic fire elemental has no feelings or emotions other than burning whatever is in front of it, as it is basically semi living fire.

Nehru the Damaja posted:So Misty Step is, for some goofy reason, a Conjuration spell. That means a conjurer is weirdly mobile and capable of shuffling a team around with Benign Transposition. Why is that goofy. Teleportation effects have been part of conjuration for a long time. And it does not make sense to really be in a different school.

lightrook posted:Apparently it used to be part of Alteration in 2e, before the school was renamed to Transmutation. Personally, I don't think it's a great fit for Conjuration, which is usually about creating something out of nothing, while the goal of teleporting is to start and end with the same amount of mass. I can sort of see the logic behind Transmutation, since you're transforming the target's position rather than its mass. If it was up to me, though, I'd put it into Divination, since they're both about long-distance stuff. And in a practical sense, a divination usually precedes a teleportation, to make sure there aren't any unexpected complications, so it makes sense to me that the two magics are studied by the same people. Evocation is about creating something out of nothing. Conjuring brings something that was somewhere else to you. So teleportation which is the reverse of that, so it makes sense in the school. Infinite Karma posted:Conjuring something could be moving something somewhere else. Like when you summon something, you're bringing it to you from wherever the hell it was before. Teleporting is the reverse of that. Sometimes literally hell. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Dec 12, 2018 |

lightrook posted:Huh, I actually haven't checked 5e's spells by school until now, so I was mostly going by outdated 3.5 information. Looks like they've moved most of the Wall of X spells and a lot of damaging spells from Conjuration to Evocation so it actually has a reason to exist. Guess that mystery's been solved. Almost all the wall spells were Evocation in 3.5 too. I just checked. Which damaging spells do you think were moved?

Here are the basic descriptions of the schoolsPHB posted:As a conjurer, you favor spells that produce objects and creatures out of thin air. You can conjure billowing clouds of killing fog or summon creatures from elsewhere to fight on your behalf. As your mastery grows, you learn spells of transportation and can teleport yourself across vast distances, even to other planes of existence, in an instant. PHB posted:You focus your study on magic that creates powerful elemental effects such as bitter cold, searing flame, rolling thunder, crackling lightning, and burning acid. Some evokers find employment in military forces, serving as artillery to blast enemy armies from afar. Others use their spectacular power to protect the weak, while some seek their own gain as bandits, adventurers, or aspiring tyrants.

Toshimo posted:More WDH: This would be on your DM. Along with the fact that only a few of the factions have to give invites and they are optional. The Zhents that invite you to join them are of a rival faction of the Zhents that serve as villains in the adventure. kingcom posted:Please describe the how it ends. The most unforgivable thing the module writers for 5e have done is for their Dragon Heist adventure to not have a heist imo. There is a heist at the end. However it is possible to roleplay through it and get the gold socially from it's Dragon Guard. But then the issue becomes stopping the villain from taking the gold from you. If that happens you may have to try and then steal the gold from them. There are tons of ways the adventure can end. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Dec 13, 2018 |

gradenko_2000 posted:https://docs.google.com/document/d/19EfAN7KoU7rWy-TYchf8wVkbfbkRRrv3_ZpnA7ZNljU/edit?usp=drivesdk Still largely disagree with this. But I doubt we want another fight over this stuff. (Not the whole here are valid alternate choices, but the whole D&D is a bad game thing.) Mr. Humalong posted:Anyone have that google docs link for game systems that do DnD better than 5e? I have some friends who want to “try dungeons and dragons” and I want to look that list over before I decide to subject them to 5e (which I think is fine but there’s going to be like 7 of them and combat will probably be a slog). With 7 people combat is probably going to take a while in most systems. 5e is one of the quicker ones. You can alway try and swap systems if you think one is not working as well.

Gharbad the Weak posted:
You don't need to in 5e. Still you guys are coming off a bit too bitter about that 4e comment. Which from checking is a true statement. It's been confirmed for years that the 4e Team had MMO's on the mind during the design phase, Mearls was even talking about the 4e design team about a month ago. The Art and Arcana guys also interviewed a bunch of current former designers and artists for the game about the topics. I also don't view it as a negative statement.

bewilderment posted:Yeah most of my group isn't great at system analysis and even they realise there's no real reason to play fighter or rogue in this game when you could play paladin or bard. Conspiratiorist posted:You absolutely do if you go past 5th level and there's any half-competent players in the party doing other classes. There is a difference between some classes preforming better and the other class needing to be built well. The Paladin is overall stronger then the fighter due to it's high burst damage. But the fighter can still preform the role it's built for and do it well. But sadly a non optimized fighter will not do it as well as a non optimized paladin. Myy point is it can still do the role and do it well, there have been no issues in my home games of fighters being unable to keep up or needing to be built well. Even in the high level games. Also Rogue's are scary, don't get why people keep underestimating them.

AlphaDog posted:I absolutely can't understand what you're trying to get at here. Ok going to explain it better now that I am no longer burdened. On a 1 to 10 to scale for fightyness unoptimized Paladins are probably a 8 and can go up to 10 with optimization. A fighter is a 7 and can go up to 9 with optimization. So paladins are overall better yes, but the unoptimized fighter is still a 7 a passing grade and it does not harm you to have one. This is not an ideal situation, (Ideal would be they were equal) but fighters don't outright Need optimization as they can still hold their own and perform their role. There is a problem but it's not a huge one. Arivia posted:Mearls repeatedly runs his mouth to poo poo on people he doesn’t like and make him come off better. He’s not an unbiased source. He was not criticizing the team. He was stating what some of their design goals were (Better class synergy, all classes having access to unique abilities for some examples.) stating that they had MMO's in mind for the initial build. They actually put out an early video during 4e's early days were they mentioned the MMO influences, though it's been lost on the old site.

Conspiratiorist posted:Thing is Fighters are garbage at their role unless the DM is shoring them up with magic items or easy encounters against enemies following the gentleman's agreement to go after the guy at the front first. Yeah I said Paladins are better. I just don't agree with you that they are garbage at their role Enemies tend to go after the guy in front anyway. Cause the guy in front is normally the guy in their face beating them to death. Like the only time I am really going to make the argument for a enemy to ignore the guy in their face is if they are mindless undead or bound fiends and were ordered to ignore them.
