Dragon+'s new issue is out.

It comes with the original story of Dorn Il-Khan by Dave Gross.

There's even a fifth edition character sheet for Dorn available for download now!

    Unless he's got some other bonus, I think technically rancor would be 2d6+5 damage. In 5e you don't add proficiency bonuses to a weapons damage.

    I thought he had 14con but whatever...

    I think this is really cool! I like it so much that the creators of 5E acknowledge BG so often. I don't mind 'canon' much, to me, the recognition is important. After all, for me and many people I know about, BG is the reason for becoming interested in Dungeons & Dragons in the first place. :smile:

    Enjoyable story. A nice nod to Raiders of the Lost Ark there, lol.

    Dorn's a great character, some of Beamdog's best work in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!

    Wait, so before Barrow Kryll left Dorn for Simmone, who is likely in his 60s by then...
    idk how to comment on this, is it even a thing? But I just feel, um, necessary to point this out...

    Very cool. I hope you get around to re-releasing the Corwin and M'Khiin short stories from the Familiar, as well!

    I did enjoy previously and now again, reading about Dorn and his blade Rancor. How he got trapped, the process of learning about the sword and the final sections with Simmeon. I like Dorn, he's an interesting character. I made a cinematic tribute of Dorn and it only feels right to post it here:

    Bit of a necro, but I figured this would be an appropriate place for this request. Dave Gross worked on origin stories for all three characters—Dorn, Neera, and Rasaad—before BG:EE got released. Any chance to get those novellas collected in a PDF anthology as a download bonus for owners of the game? They were good and it would be a shame if they got lost.

    Maybe. Hard to say. The focus atm is not on IE games, especially extra goods. We'll see.
