DEFCON 1's latest activity

I was never a fan of prestige classes. They were intended for one special career themed path, and optimizers used them like a Halloween...

I fail to see how the changes to goblins in 5.5 really substantively change anything about eberron. All the retcon implies is that...

That's not the point. The point is Vex and Vax could have been half-elves in CR Season 1 and been played as half-elves and been treated...

I'd let you use an Unseen Servant in this way even if there weren't "rules" in place to allow it. In fact, the Servant wouldn't even be...

I for one do not find a single species whose mechanics are appreciably meaningful... especially not when you bury them under 20 levels...

I get it; the whole issue is fraught, as this thread attests. Best to stay out of it and individual DMs can do what they like, as...

Don’t count on it. The change was made for reasons that go beyond the game, which is why newer systems are avoiding the issue...
