Check out Dungeonscape. I never saw an announcement that it was testing 4e ideas, but it is very obvious. It has incredible encounter building advice (that was only partially ported into 4e), the first iteration of creature types, 4e-style traps (encounter traps).... all stuff that 4e modified...

Not just yes, but holy cow, yes. Especially in the later books- the baseline fighter could not compete with a bunch of the other classes. Many spells in the PH were rendered obsolete by better, later options. Feats... you won't see a feat as terrible as Dodge in any later books. And so on. It...

Hello all! Some of you may know that I'm working on a custom version of dnd. A big component of that is feats- there are only the classic 'basic four' classes, with feats allowing you to build other classes on top of your basic chassis. One thing I want to have is feats for characters who want...

I guess it depends on which picture I'm using. So I guess, in my campaign, some owlbears do, some don't.

Would you consider this evil if it were a human you were taking advantage of?

I saw several animal reincarnations over the years.

I skimmed the first couple of pages, so maybe I missed it or it was addressed later, but can you define your terms here? What do you mean by metacurrency?

A little update: I've been running this for two groups, both of whom seem to really like it. Though the system is pretty much the same as before, the monsters, magic items, feats, and spells have been significantly expanded; for those interested, I'll upload them. I'm actually running this in...

I gotchu. Please note that this is designed for OG 5e (5.0, I guess, now that we've got 5.5e as an official name). I present the island shark. ISLAND SHARK Source: Homebrew. An island shark is one of the largest monsters known. It is a type of gargantuan, but even for one of those monsters...

Yeah, the crispy texture was a major part of what made them so good. That and the slightly sour flavor of the yogurt really worked together well.

I recently made some really good wraps. Fine chopped some celery, jicama, cucumber, and pickle, added some fried chicken, and made a sauce with yogurt, dill, salt, and Meyer lemon zest. It was delicious.

An at-will counter to spellcasters' go-to resource with no expenditure of resources? No thanks. Cantrips are too important to simply get stomped on with no cost to the stomper (and the opportunity cost of choosing a cantrip counterspell does not matter a dingo's kidneys when you're an npc built...

This is going to sound funny, but- who actually knows? The Great Wheel- which I use- is one interpretation of the cosmology. The World Axis (4e) cosmology, which I also use, is another, pretty much equally valid, interpretation of the cosmology. There are, doubtless, others in the campaign world...

While I agree with most of what you say, the Vecna adventure we did get is just so bad.

I would think racist is a subtype of bigot. There are plenty of non-race-based things that people are prejudiced about.
