It still comes down to a social interaction issue. As well as recognition that it’s ultimately a game.

So you see the issue as the DM could conceivably approve or deny the use of game components? That can happen with virtually anything. I mean, I was using Dhampirs from the VRGR in other campaigns. I know other DMs who brought shifters from Eberron into other campaigns. This notion of “locked”...

Why shouldn’t that be necessary? Setting specific classes, spells, and options are a good thing because they match the lore of those settings, make for a better roleplaying experience, and can do things that are thematically appropriate for that setting. If a DM likes an idea and wants to add...

Will seemed more like a Warlock in that moment than a Sorcerer, to be honest.

Then maybe I misunderstood your point, I guess. It doesn’t really matter that 3e and 4e are different from 5e at this point. It’s in the past. The most recent edition change was negligibly different in comparison.

It’s also a retroactive perspective. There’s nothing to be done about the change from 3e to 4e to 5e. It’s relitigating the past. Also, 3e got Eberron. 4e had Nentir Vale baked into the core books. But is 5.5 that dramatically different from 5e? I don’t think so. I think it’s the smallest shift...

I really like the flavor and details of it - I would totally use that for a Ravenloft campaign!

And I’m out of that thread. Another voice decides to join late to relitigate a bunch of nonsense spewed in other threads.

That’s all I’m saying - if it’s a problem, maybe drop the DC.

Personally, I think the easiest fix is just the DC checks - it almost kind of depends if you have a PC who has a good Cha save bonus.

I think that’s the issue with D&D lycanthropy. Don’t want to make it a class feature where it’s the purpose of the character or do you want to make it a problem, or something in-between? Each one comes with a different possible solution.

I think with those save DCs, and this: …you’re gonna have a lot of lycanthropes running around your campaign.

From a DMing point of view, I’ve never personally thought it important to consider demographics in that way. Whenever I’ve needed an NPC of a particular species, that’s what I’ve included in my game. Demographic percentages have existed since World of Greyhawk (at least), alongside things like...

Been that way since Kara-Tur and Al Qadim, honestly. I would simply ignore it if I didn’t like it. I’ve had to do that countless times in the past, even with just metaplots designed specifically for FR.

My main problem with the show right now is the copious amount of exposition in place of actual plot. Why show anything when you can simply explain the plot verbatim? I don’t usually care about that so much but this is laying it on thick.
