For Land Druids, don't hook them to one type of land, instead, they connect to the land in general. In game terms, the land druid adds a land category spells to his prepared list while he is in the corresponding land type. Flexibility depending on locale without being overpowering.

I like for monsters to have at least one unique active or passive ability. I often pull abilities from 4e, 13th Age and two 3rd ed template books. Some things I do... 1. passive- auras or abilities triggering when advantage is given to creature 2. active - activated when monster hits opponent...

Thanks for this! I love to see what other people do with things. Helps to fire things up in my own mind.

Feats? Eh, I like the thinking upthread about how some of the current ones should have been folded into classes or things anyone can do. I suppose there is still room for a few more feats, though. Balance is key... I'd rather have more warlock invocations (more like the 3.5 ones, please) more...

I have done this a few times...I dont think I successfully captured the experience I was going for though. I still think it could be done, but prolly should be reserved for more episodic games or those trying for a pulpy serial feel maybe.

I have one a green and gold (sure about the gold but the green, well im a little color blind,) d20 that I've had since my very first session in '94. It also has a peculiar quirk that seems to result in an extreme amount of both 20's and 1's equally...No joke! I only use it these days as dm when...

Whatever happened to the Shakespearean giants adventure that was mentioned?

This seems like it could be reworked for use as a 3d map of the underdark, or even intricate layered structures.

Interesting observations. Makes me feel the need to get into my own game with the same eyes.

I would like to see the whole Monster Manual released as a non-random card set. Ideal sort of product with great utility.

Now this sounds like a cool ranger, with Olgar's divisions in mind as well.

I've added items that can trigger inspiration earning, such as a green dragon dagger, which offers inspiration for an instance of betrayal, mirroring the green dragon's tendencies. I agree that inspiration needs something more. Either more hard baked into character creation, or even possibly...

Ive always been a sucker for monster books, but at this moment, I would love to see a monster toolkit, with powers and themes/4e style templates so one can customize already existing monsters, or build new ones whole cloth. There could even be example creatures included.

I loved truenamers, and especially the ease of how the actual utterances functioned in play. I'd suspect they would actually lend themselves quite well to 5e
