With the exception of humans, all of mine are "lesser" versions of some of the more powerful creatures of dnd. No one knows who humans are supposed to be the "lesser" version of and that is troubling for some. Humans: what's your deal? Elves: the mortal fey Dwarves: diminutive giants...

Not true at all. The Patriots are practicing at Stanford University and the Seahawks are practicing at San Jose State University. The same places the Broncos and Panthers practiced at in the lead up to Super Bowl 50, which was held at Levi's Stadium. The same stadium as this year's Super Bowl...

Seahawks. I've been a Seahawks fan my whole life and I think they match up well against the Patriots. As much as I'd like to see them win in a blowout I doubt that happens. The Patriots defense can hang with anyone, their offense is good, and they play a clean game with few penalties or...

Like: -5e's evolution in regards to summons, most prominently from Tasha's. Much easier to run and play than the conjure spells. -Feats that give you the "whole package" so to speak. I'm not against feat-chains, but the time in between getting feats is just too long in 5e for me to want them...

Gate Worlds Stargate meets fantasy age of exploration. Okay, I'll do more. Remnants of the age of myth, it was thought the gates could only open to other nearby gates. With greater understanding and power it became clear that the gates could connect further. Not just across continents and...

1. Complexity I think my 6e lands between 5e and Level Up. Probably closer to the 5e end of the spectrum. 2. Level Breakdown It would be 20 levels split into two sections. 1-10 would be a single path of advancement similar to how 5e does it. 11-20 would have multiple paths of advancement...

This is a cool setup I haven't seen before. Theoretically, an 18, 18, 17, 17, 16, 15 is the highest possible if you allow a total bonus of +19. On the flip side 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9 has a total of -10 if you're a masochist. 5e's standard array of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 comes in at +5, but would need...

Preparedness: write down the items you have that matter to you. Weapons, potions, heirlooms, and other stuff like that. Torches, flint, extra pouches, soap, mirror, rope, and other common items that spend 99% of their time in your pack? Just make a Prep roll to see if you have the item in...

I don't think every class should have the same levels where subclass abilities come online. But I do think every class should have subclass abilities at levels 1 and 3. After that you can fit them in as you please. Features that let you use caster stat in place of strength and dexterity for...

I played FFXII again. First replay since it came out. Still really good and playing the Zodiac Age version made this time was a nice change. Now I'm working my way through the end game content of Expedition 33. I really enjoy how combat manages to stay fresh 50+ hours into the game. And it's...

"Get Ready. We're heading through the gate one more time. Chevron 8 is locked." -Joseph Mallozzi The 8th chevron is used to dial outside of a galaxy. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the show takes place in another galaxy similar to SG:A being in the Pegasus galaxy.

I remember hunting ankhegs in BG1 because their shells could be crafted into really good armor. Upping their AC to reflect that is a start. Giving them an ambush ability with bonus to initiative and advantage on attacks when they pop out of the ground would be cool. Claw attack is a good addition.

Updated: -"X Savant" let's you prep up to wizard level spells from your chosen school. Effectively the same as a 5e wizard. Also, we use a few divination spells from 3rd parties to ensure divination wizard have more than 20 spells to choose from. -"Book Casting" is limited to 1 use and...

I don't mind if they fail a few times before succeeding at book casting. The idea was to give some utility with enough of an action economy cost that it's probably not worth it in combat or fast enough for split second decisions. But it sounds like a use limit is needed. I figured as much but...

Marked as 5e 2014, but if you see anything that applies to 5e 2024 feel free to include it. I've got two mechanical changes for wizards that I like. I'm putting this out there incase anyone can think of anything that would make these changes broken. 1. Spell Prep At 1st level wizards are able...
