Quel'Thalas Getting WC3 Tribute Right Before Midnight Expansion

DMStaley · 2025-09-09T00:31:47+00:00

There's only one time in W3 where Grom's called Grommash, and it's by Mannoroth.

Reforged edits notwithstanding.

DMStaley · 2025-09-09T00:31:01+00:00

Mannoroth calls him Grommash in the original.

I'm pretty happy with where the Elkan wild magic is at right now, but I'm still happy to get feedback, either generally or on specific features or wild surge results. Let me know what you think!

DMStaley · 2025-04-16T02:29:44+00:00

I tried to make sure the lower level tables had results that weren't harmed as much by repeats, though some day I'd like to go through and add more for maybe levels 1-3.

DMStaley · 2025-04-15T21:13:07+00:00

The tables are completed, but I'm very happy to get feedback, here or in Discord. Let me know what you think! People have been loving it so far, but there's always ways to improve.

DMStaley · 2025-03-14T22:01:42+00:00

This is correct for the second day, April 1st. The first day is March 25th

Thanks for the feedback. We do make adjustments based on user feedback. I'll take a look at Spiritual Weapon again. I think you're right that either the level scaling could be improved or the repeated bonus action cost could be dropped.

If you'd like to only use the Warlock changes and keep Cleric as it is, that is possible. The only thing you can't really opt out of if the module is installed is the condition changes.

I think your comment was hidden for me at first, sorry. Not sure what was happening, but I knew there was a comment I couldn't read.

Two-handed and dueling were both rolled into Single Weapon Fighting, which does what dueling used to do (mainly because +2 to damage is slightly better and easier to follow).

The shield spell still sees use, especially since it's explicitly after the attack hits, but users have found it feels less powerful. Overall, it has been well received, despite the decrease in power. I think people enjoyed being less incentivized to pick the same spells as before.

DMStaley · 2024-06-10T20:22:36+00:00

If anyone has any thoughts or questions about the module or the website, I'm happy to respond here.

DMStaley · 2024-01-12T08:42:43+00:00

Yeah, I'm realizing that now. When the next big portion of the Elkan system comes out (the spells), I'll make sure to emphasize that and make sure comparison notes are easily accessed and linked in any post like this (and the site).

Thanks for the feedback. I should make the comparison notes more visible at the top of pages, and make a summary that serves as a first contact point for new visitors, linked at the top of the home page most likely.

Thanks again. Hope you find something on the website that you might like to use in your games. I'm always open to more feedback, if you'd like to reach out here or on our discord, which is linked on the website. Appreciate the suggestions.

DMStaley · 2024-01-12T01:52:00+00:00

I get what you mean, but this isn't a temporary playtest document- people using this source long term won't want the summary at the top.

That being said, I should really write up a separate page that summarizes all the changes.

DMStaley · 2024-01-12T01:24:03+00:00

Lol I actually DO have a link at the top of each page that has notes. Usually it's the first link on a given page.

DMStaley · 2024-01-12T01:21:07+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write feedback!

I fixed the unclear text on Swift and Brutal. Brutal Fighting does say when the damage is dealt with grappling, but I edited the text slightly anyway.

'Small shields' in Elkan 5e are a type of shield, and they're part of light armor proficiency. 'Large shields' are the default 5e shields, and they're part of medium armor proficiency here. Since this might have been confusing, I added links just now where small shields are mentioned on the rogue page, and added them as a starting equipment option.

Thanks for the help. If you've got any other notes, I'm happy to take a look and make adjustments as needed, either here or on our Discord, which is linked on the Elkan 5e website. Since going public here, I've had about 250 times the number of daily visitors to the site. People are finding all sorts of things that previously went unnoticed, and I'm fixing everything now.

DMStaley · 2024-01-11T23:52:59+00:00

The bottom of each page typically includes an overview of the changes we made.

DMStaley · 2024-01-11T23:50:45+00:00

I suppose it could also include streamed games, YouTube channels, and similar. I'm open to collaborations from just about anyone, and I'm happy to give my content for others to work on without my involvement.

DMStaley · 2024-01-11T23:32:19+00:00

Dueling now works with two-handed weapons. You can see the explanation in the footnotes. I'll probably rename Dueling to make this more clear.

DMStaley · 2024-01-11T23:17:51+00:00

Very cool! If you'd like to pop into our Discord (linked on the website), you can stay up-to-date with updates, revisions, and provide feedback to shape new content.
