I think the context of my use of mundane is still being lost. I could have phrased some of my responses better. When I called humans mundane in a world of fantasy creatures mundane, I wasn't suggesting that humans are weak or mundane in that world I am saying that because we exist in our world I...

Mundane adjective 1. common; ordinary; banal; unimaginative. 2. of or relating to this world or earth as contrasted with heaven; worldly; earthly: mundane affairs. 3. of or relating to the world, universe, or earth. And Celebrim, I get it, I will not be able to convert you to a demihuman...

See, I don't view dwarves from Tolkien story telling, rather, from the source material, Norse Mythology. The original stories of dwarves paint them in a fairly human light, as being portrayed as super-masculine they also have accentuated flaws of those traits. They are strong, so they fight...

Ok, so we are playing a homebrew world in the game I'm playing in, I'm running a Dwarf Ranger 2/Barbarian 1 (recently started campaign). There was a brutal war in the world between the monstrous humanoids and the humans, elves and dwarves. The dwarves were the last to join the conflict so a lot...

Yeah! That's my thing too! Also, Dwarves forever!

I guess I can understand why people want to play humans but I live the human existence every day. Trying to role play a mythical race and bring them to life in a genuine fashion is just so much more fun for me. I think I would enjoy playing the only demihuman in a human party would be a good...

I do get where your coming from, but I've never encountered that problem in game, I've been gaming with pretty much the same group for 8 years despite a few swap outs. I think you analyzed it very well, I've been an outcast for most of my life, and I like to play characters that are outcast or...

So the party I'm playing in right now consists of: -Dwarf Barbarian/Ranger -Half-Elf Fighter -Dragonborn Life Cleric (Tamara is his deity). We each have specific backgrounds, my Dwarf was an outlander and was recruited into the campaign and he is suiting his own ends, he's trying to find...

I was just shocked in another thread to hear that my play experience may be vastly different from most other's. See, I do basically anything I can to never play a human character (1 in eight years, in a different system because there was no alternate race). Are my play group and I the only ones...

By doing the standard rule on feats, we have not had any issues with feats making high attributes unmanageable. I have no idea if my play experience is similar or different, myself and the group I play with have very little interest in playing humans for mostly the same reasons. We all have...

With concern to the feats, what we did was included them as such: You can only acquire a feat by forgoing your ability point upgrade. The only time this isn't true is as a human with a starter feat, but no one in the games I play in, ever chooses a human. In fact, the only game I've ever played...

Thanks Ahrimon, I love that book. So much great equipment and the style it was written in is so unique for D&D I sneak it in whenever I can.

That's why the only two I'm certain of adding right now, are Aurora's Whole Realms and Demihuman Deities. Nothing really in there to affect mechanics (some items give bonuses, like the Silk Sneaking Suit which in AD&D gave a +4% to Move Silently, now if the character can find a place to buy it)...

So, I'm planning on starting a new campaign in 5E and I'm planning on bringing in Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue from 2E FR, with some major edits to match the system change because it's just such a fun resource with great items that aren't game changers but are really fun and handy. Also...

I do agree with your argument, and I can't believe how many of the people here have been talking about the level of forgiveness they themselves as DMs or their group DM has allowed when rolling, but the nearest thing to a reroll that exists in my group is one swap that is you can change one stat...

Like what?

I have never considered using the formula for hit points, I really don't like that system, it feels like such a rip-off.

That ^^ is fantastic roleplaying if I've ever seen it!! Hahahahaha! I really like the random percentile tables that add flavour like that, I applaud your embracing the roleplaying tools built into the PHB to allow for a fuller experience for your players.

See, I agree that there are players that are like that but I love rolling because there are no guarantees. When I roll a character I expect them to have at least one terrible stat that I have to manage with. I love that challenge.

In the groups I play in and the groups I DM, the first level is always max HP as per the book, after that it is always a roll, if it's a one or something, we allow for one Hit Die re-roll per campaign.
