My 'Split'/Captain Chaos (for Children of the 80s) build needs some help. (D&D 5th) My DM has given me permission to bring in a 3rd level character (Human or Halfling) with split personality disorder. His classes in both personalities will be different but use the same attributes, like a decent...

Basically, U.S. Army Special Forces. I'm down with that. That's a great take on a paladin.

That’s so awesome, such a phenomenal potential merging of crunch and fluff, I’m having a hard time putting it into words. F***ing Awesome. I told my regular group about it and we’re constructing it now!!!!

OOOOOhhhhhh! This! This!

Nice work!

I loved that show! But shockingly, it wasn't the inspiration for the Campaign. I blame it all on the new Jumanji movie... I'm prepared for it to crash and burn but I still want to give it a try. I'm preparing "Plot Twists" -There will be other people (not necessarily good guys) stuck as well...

Anyone ever try this? A game where the 'players' are sucked into a fantasy realm and into the 'bodies' of their PCs? Think Joel Rosenberg's Guardians of the Flame series. I've wanted to do it for a while but Jumanji finally pushed me to get serious about it. I've been dying to try something new...

Whatever floats your boat mate!

We’ve houseruled the natural healing and the three death saves away about a month into playing 5e.

I think you are on to something here. I'm not sure about the full Proficiency bonus. A number cruncher (someone who gets that sort of thing better than I do) would have to say if its balanced over the long term. But I think its a step in the right direction. I think someone already mentioned it...

I hope that my playful tone came through but I'm think now that it didn't. As Larry David would say, "But I was trying to be affable!" But you did help me get to the bottom of what I don't like about 5e Wizards!

I hadn't even got this far but Thank You. That's a concern to the House Rule I would use. So, how to attack the concentration problem in a balanced way?

That’s an excellent point and I get that I (personally) can only take Illusionist spells. I may even, after some deliberation and seeing what else comes of the thread, decide to House Rule that and make Specialists Special, at least in my home game. But (you probably guessed that was coming),I...

You had me right up to wrong. I was trying to avoid saying that the way 5e does Specialists is wrong and going down thewrong-bad-fun rabbit hole. I'm not ready to say its wrong until I know that I'm not getting something or doing something wrong myself. I just find 5e Specialists lacking...

Ha Ha! See, that was my favorite edition, in regards to Specialists (And Rogues, by the way!). I always felt such a sense of accomplishment just surviving to the next level: There was no expectation that you would get to 2nd (or even beyond). It felt fantastic and nothing was taken for granted.

A good question. And yet, one I find difficult to answer. As someone mentioned here, though, perhaps part of it (but not all of it) is the spell lists: there really are no spells forbidden to various 'Specialists'. So, for example, while you get a couple of school specific abilities (some much...

It’s Official: I don’t like 5th Edition Wizards and ‘Specialists’ I’ve been playing 5e since the release. And in past editions (Pathfinder included) my favorite class to play was always the Illusionist. It was the class I felt comfortable with and always returned to after forays into Fighter...

Thanks! I forgot ALL ABOUT Primeval Thule.

I'm thinking it is time to retire my long established Homebrew Campaign Setting (due to an End of History kind of thing after a very Epic finale). I'm waffling between creating a new one from scratch (which, TBO, I enjoy anyway) and just finind an established/published setting. All that being...

Well, aside from some of the fluff, I really like the ideas. But I'm a sucker for races and classes that break molds and bend Tropes, like Dark Sun Halflings. You're War Gnomes remind me of the Gnome Titans of Garweeze Wurld (from The Knights of the Dinner Table). I also picture, as funny as it...
