I understand that most are fairly happy with 5E, but at the same time 6E is fairly inevitable. Several years in, what improvements would you like to see with 6E? A few I have. * Actively work to make sure there are no utter god stats or dump stats. No stat should utterly be able to...

I want to create a new way of handling races where I get rid of subraces. Instead a Dwarf is a Dwarf and an Elf is an Elf and they could have any mixture of the various combinations of skin/hair color or physical traits that one could imagine coming across. But I still want to offer some...

My goal is to rework the D&D 5e races other than humans (whose variant rules make them pretty standard). I have a few goals - Eliminate subraces, it feels like a bit of an admission that the race wasn't written flexible enough to fully encompass the concept if it needs to be split up like this...

Goblin You gain +2 Dexterity and +1 to either Wisdom or Charisma Size: Small Speed: 30 * You have Dark Vision 60' * You add 1 to your Initiative score * You may choose either Animal Handling or Deception and gain proficiency in that skill. * You may choose either one set of Artisan's Tools or...

I have totally revamped the class, checking that it is considerably more balanced with the Bard and the Cleric than my last version. If it is too strong, it would be because the subclass features are too strong. And, yes, they gain and insane amount of strategy die at high levels-- but you...

I don't have any good mechanics for this right now myself, I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how to do it. What I want to do is come up a with a pretty clean way of doing a mob of enemies. The idea would be a situation where you would have a large number of enemies, at least 10 and...

I am interested in what players think are the fundamental differences physiologically between Orcs and Hobgoblins. They get different stats, but whenever one attempt to approach how they are different it usually comes to "Lawful" vs. "Chaotic" which doesn't make any sense since among the...

Hobgoblins Hobgoblins are a race of discipline, pride and dominance. Tall, physically domineering and coldly calculating, they seek to bring it to order under them, strangling out that which they deem to be frivolous and soft. They are masters of the art of war, erecting imposing fortresses...

This one is still rougher than my Orc write-up. I am not sure the subraces are properly balanced against one another. One gets an ability to affect animals in a way that might be very powerful or very useless depending on what your DM allows you to do with steeds/animal companions. The other one...

I wanted to take a stab at designing a few races for the new D&D before the official rules for them came out in the Monster Manual or whatever. I've been disappointed by the lack of thought put into them in past editions, so I wanted to go ahead and give them a good try on my own. The first of...
