Thank you all for some really good suggestions. I really like Thule and Yoon-Suin. Shiroiken I did some googling and I think the setting you were talking about with the titan blood ocean is the Scarred Lands which also looks really cool.

I'm about to start a 5e campaign and I'm not a big fan of the official settings like Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Eberron, etc... Anyone have a recommendation for an good system independent setting that they have used in the past?

Sounds very much like Empire vs Stormcloak subplot in Skyrim to me. I think they did a pretty good job of setting it up so there was no clearly "good" side. You might look to that for some ideas.

Nevermind....didn't read your post thoroughly enough to catch the sarcasm :p

If you reread my post which you quoted I never said those abilities made those classes Tier 1. I pointed out that they are Tier 1 and have those abilities. As for "narrative incoherence" I have no idea what you are talking about. I was just pointing out that such powers definitely do not fly...

Barbarian's get Rage, Swashbuckler gets Charmed Life, Brawler gets Knockout. All three are definitely Tier 1 classes and all of those abilities are non-magical x/day. Rage is one of if not the most single most powerful x/day abilities there is and it is non-magical.

Wow when I left earlier this was only on page 18 and here it is page 21 and you are still going. You were earlier arguing that the disabled character would not want to be euthanized because a cure can be guaranteed in a few months but when confronted with the argument they can also just have...

The players were aware of the time frame, the party is not. I don't know what game you are playing but in the D&D world there is never a time in the underdark that danger is no emminent. Even above ground in wilderness settings it is far different than the real world. When I go backpacking...

You are using your knowledge of the rules as a player to make a moral judgement in game, i.e. that recovery is guaranteed in a month or two. Also you did not answer the question of whether or not it would endanger her friends. Have you never watched a movie in which one of the characters was...

Do the wishes of the disabled party member factor into this at all? Would she want to endanger her fellow party members due to her vegetative state? In actual life there are people who would rather be euthanized rather than be a burden on their families and friends, and they aren't endangering...

See what he did there? "Your attempt to convince me my opinion is wrong is misguided because of your absurd reasoning, i.e. your opinion is wrong" The lack of self-awareness is simply mind boggling.

I am really impressed with how you take a post in which I point out that you have consistently argued that everyone else is wrong and you are right and then claim that I am the one arguing as if you are objectively wrong. You are the one that has repeatedly lectured others on what is ideal...

Yes you THINK that is flat out wrong. It is just your opinion. You continue to argue as if game balance were the only design factor to consider. Yes it would be absurd if balance was the end all be all of design considerations to then create an imbalanced game just because individual groups...

You acknowledge that the argument you are making here is merely a slippery slope fallacy and yet you proceed to make it anyway and conclude that other positions are logically faulty! You decide to throw a straw man in for good measure because no one is using the argument you are claming, i.e...

Aren't you the one that originally accused Sacrosanct of "fallacious reasoning"? I then replied that you were actually the one guilty of fallacious reasoning. Your reply was to point to a fake fallacy while again using a real one. Now you claim that everyone knows what logical fallacies are and...
