What if you allowed bonus actions to be used as actions, but the same bonus action can't be used more than once in a turn?

Judging by the state of the world, not many are capable of receiving it. :(

Soft on your nose?

Yes, it's how I view dragons and dragon blood. And I'm fully capable of imagining anything. It's not about being able to imagine a justification for weak dragonborn. It's that such justifications fall short of how I view dragons. The game is Dungeons and Dragons. I've always felt that...

Tortles I don't give a fig about. Dragonborn are different, because of what they are. The blood of dragons wouldn't be so weak and pathetic that dragonborn would be on par with humans, elves, and halflings. Accordingly, I increased their power level significantly, so they are no longer an...

No. That's not the real argument. The real argument isn't nearly that extreme for most of us DMs.

Dislike is a range. And no, it's not utter disgust. Disgust is a different word. Metagaming isn't allowed in my game. I dislike it the point where it has a major impact on my fun playing the game. I don't find it disgusting in the slightest. You've dialed it up to 10 again. If it's...

Because you're focused on the wrong thing. It's not about the specific race in discussions like these. Dragonborn are like the quantum ogre. The problem with the quantum ogre isn't that it's an ogre, so changing it to a quantum pixie isn't going to change anything. Same with the troll and...

1) you don't play in his game, so why would he ban them. 2) It actually has to rise to the level of having a negative impact on your enjoyment of the game. 3) If it does rise to that level, I question your choice of games in the first place. D&D has been human centric from it's start until this...

No. Never said that.

And what the rest of us are asking is why on earth are you guys asking that question when no one here has said that they do that. Maybe it's because you are a very passionate person, but you tend to dial up comments made by people to a 9 or 10 before you respond to them, even when they're only...

Sometimes I love my tired brain. Didn't sleep well last night and as soon as I saw the bolded portion, my mind was like, well now I want to have a group of half-illithid halflings approach the party and say, "Well, then. Isn't it about time for 2nd breakfast."

So it's not things that "I'm not into." I'm not into halflings, gnomes, half-orcs, loxodon, playing with Barbies, tortles, 3e-5e tieflings, aarakocra, githzerai, hammering nails through my feet, lizard folk, kenku, and other odd races. I don't give a fig if my players want to play one of those...

If 5e is a 6, then 3e was an 8. I prefer a game right in the middle, so a 7. I love 5e, but it's oversimplified in my opinion.
