Personally, I'd set the STR requirement lower at 10/12, the shortbow basically not have a minus and the longbow being a touch higher. Shouldn't they also have the Ammunition tag?

So, all this time it was Warduke's sister Warduchess?

Eh, I could get behind straight 5E being the 2014 version, 5.25 adding Xanathar's, 5.5 being Tasha's and the 2024 books being 5.75. Doesn't matter anyways, as I'm going to 5.9543 Hawkeye anyways.

I actually quite like the subclass system for 5E, and I hated prestige classes in 3E & 4E. In 5E, the current subclass system keeps the option bloat down a bit. Choose a path and you're off to the races and at level up the only major choices are possibly a feat/ASI or a new spell. It helps to...

Playing around, I cam up with this Dragon's Mire. "A party of adventurers tracks a black dragon into the swamp, where they are subjected to its hit and run tactics, ending with a final climatic battle."

Thank you and damn you for this at the same time :D ! This is really fun to play with, and yet so hard to get it to sound like you want. I really like what you did for the Happy Wizard and the Terror of the Asteroid Belt is pants-soiling fun (once it gets into the song). How many iterations...

The hate for 4E is still strong, and I think Warlord's abilities encompasses every bit of that hate. That, more than anything is why its unlikely a 5E Warlord will ever emerge, sadly. That said, some of the battlemaster's maneuvers clearly were designed from warlord abilities, and if there was...

They work for regular RP play, I think we were all just expecting rules that were orientated more towards the 2E tabletop rules that were geared more for (small) fleet actions.

Hmmm. Been thinking lately about a "casting" roll for spellcasters. Right now, spells that require a save have after a fashion a casting roll built in - if the opponent makes the save, the spell fails. Those that require an attack roll fail if they don't hit the target. However, spells that...

When I got the 5E DMG, I did a really quick flip through and nothing stood out worth reading deeper into (with plenty of other editions and other systems under my belt). It's only been recently that I've come to realize there are some sections in there that even are beneficial to my jaded...

GW tends to do this, or at least, they used to - create a model/miniature and then develop the story and stats around it. I'd rather not WotC follow their direction in any manner.

All the 2E Ravenloft adventures have serious issues,and they don’t play nice by standard D&D rules. Most of the original line start off by killing or infecting or otherwise turning the PCs into monsters under the thumb of the primary villain. They require a special kind of buy-in on the...

Rereading some old 2E books, Vecna's plot against Sigil in Die Vecna Die! was supposed to rewrite the cosmos, but I don't think it was ever followed up on (being at the end of 2E). I wonder if this is going to revive/rewrite some of that?

Very similar to what I have been working on. Interaction with just about everything is via a skill, with the exception of saves (for the moment).

Yeah, 10th level characters in any version of D&D are best grown into. I tried running a high-level PvP dungeon for a Con once for 3.5, and had about 5 pre-built characters if someone wanted to jump in. They were given a half-hour to review the PCs before play, but I don't think anyone did...

I would very much like to see this, it reminds me of the WEG system with fairly broad skills and then you could further specialize in subskills under those skills. I've been working on reworking 5E's Expertise to do this. I've really been dissatisfied how much of a detailed subsystem is for...

One of the rules buried in the depths of the 1E DMG was that copying spells from one book to another incurred a % chance that the original spell would vanish from the book. This was clearly meant to curb PCs swapping spells and make NPC spellcasters paranoid about letting their spells be copied.

I relore things all the time, and for 5E I often use a lot of 2E lore for monsters over 5E lore as well. For my homebrew Ogres are the male offspring of hags Goblins, Hobgoblins, Bugbears, Orcs & Trolls are from the dark dream area of the dream realm Aurora (there is no feywild) Beholders were...

Just realized there's a big problem with the opening, if this is true:

Reroll and take the second result.
