The Hell Knight Fighter seems like a toned down version of the Illrigger without all the cool options that make that class fun. Playing an "evil" character in a world of good is a lot of fun. Fighting on the side of good against Evil A because it furthers the goals of the Evil B you serve.

Yes, the song immediately came to mind

Remember the scene from the Dungeons and Dragons movie? The party is in a maze, hunted by displacer beasts, competing with others, and the maze changes on some frequency. Each piece creates a more elaborate puzzle.

Sad, when you answer someone's question on how to do something and all they can do is show that they are ungrateful and idiotic.

You know that Nightcrawler doesn't teleport, don't you? What he does is more in align with something like Dimensional Shift, he steps through another dimension (Brimstone Dimension) the steps back out. In one of the shows (X-Men Evolution?) they had a series of episodes where this was...

There are already a few 5e One Piece homebrews floating around. You could review those and see how they addressed the issue

I like the North Pole shown in "Red One". You have multiple species working together to make the North Pole run.

What about doing something in Eberron? You would have the option to do something more Sci-Fi using the magitech concepts. This would allow you the option to create something with possibly a far wider appeal that a straight fantasy D&D line? Course if NetFlix did it we would get Season 1 then...

So this past session our DM, who is the hell spawned child of a mad genius and a evil demon, setup the encounter to happen in an extraplanar region of chaos. And being chaotic, the environment kept changing. One round, everything slowed down, the next magic stopped working, etc. The look on...

Godhood. I had a AD&D thru 2e Paladin whose patron God of Justice was killed in a Godswar and he took the remaining part of the God into his soul. He advanced through 20th level and into Epic level games before finally transitioning into becoming the new God of Justice and patron of LG...

A recent high level adventure, the party was sent to stop a rampaging tarrasque. But, it turned out to be an intelligent spell-casting beast not the normal dumb force of nature. Was a major mind-blown experience when it in the middle of combat, its stopped and asked why we were attacking it...

In the end, you are doing exactly what I was trying to get at. An internal faction conflict of a powerful faerie court... now what side do you choose? Who do you trust? Who do you not trust? What actions do you take? And those actions have overarching consequences, which could include...

Lots of situations requiring roleplay rather than combat. Make players actually think and work their skills rather than simply bash another boss. By the time a player and character reaches a high-level they should be able to work through complex politics, and other high level problems. And...

There are many real world examples of the evolution of Orcs in the game. Rough tribal groups that were pillagers and raiders and evolved into traders, explorers, etc over time.

One issue we found in our last high-level game was just the time some things take. When you take into account features, abilities, counter-abilities, lair actions, legendary actions, and everything else, a round of combat can really stretch out. In the end we found that after a point...
