What if they speak in Hexadecimal or Trinary? :p

If Darmok and Jalad were Modrons... ;)

If the inhabitants of Mechanus had a planar language of their own, this would be it. ;)

When you were designing the Fey Dragon for the MM2, did you get some bardic inspiration from the plant monster in the movie, The Little Shop of Horrors? :)

I think it's been this way since 4e. While 3e didn't prevent you from choosing any class that you wanted your character to be or keep you leveling up as far as you wanted to go, it did have that Favored Class drawback. The Favored Class for Dwarves was Fighter. The Favored Class for Elves was...

Disadvantage on a Specific Type of Check is my least dislike because you still can succeed at that check even with the lower roll, or you can cancel it out with the right Advantage (ex. Steady Aim).

According to Wikipedia, there are two different kinds of evil IRL. The first is Moral Evil, which is often the result of a person who engages in vice, either through intention or negligence. The second is Natural Evil, which does not involve a perpetrator. It's often the result of natural...

This would put language into their overall heritage. Culture would still be needed to distinguish one group of Dwarves from another group of Dwarves in order to keep them from feeling monolithic to the player.

Moving the ASIs from Species to Backgrounds makes a certain amount of sense as picking up a certain background requires training in one or more ability scores. If your character has the Soldier background (I am using the Level Up version here), you learn some training in Strength, but you are...

Maybe they can make up for it in a later reprinting of these books?

Can you imagine what the 2024 PHB, DMG and MM would have looked like if they were given the same alternate cover treatment as these two books? :)

The fella in the lower left corner is a Ryujin. This is what some Nishikin can become after experiencing a moment in their lives when they have experienced a great tragedy or some other life-changing event. This particular Ryujin is a Fighter (Skeletal Blade). For those of you who have watched...
