Eh, not my specific cup of tea. But maybe this will open the door for more games. Thunderbirds. Captain Scarlet, maybe. Oh, Lavender Castle would make a great TTRPG! "We must find the City at Center of the Universe before Duke Umbra does or he'll reshape all of reality in his twisted image"...

I just had a funny idea for the dwarf issue. Given that gnomes USED to be tied to fae ancestry before 5E apparently toned that way down for Warcraft-style tinker gnome, I'm going to split the difference. Elves are Forest Gnomes, Dwarves are Rock Gnomes. If the home worlds of a planeshopping...

1). I forgot Grungs were small. Nice, another race for the world. 2). A fun idea. Though, definitely more apocalyptic than I was going for. Call that a dark "What If...".

Oh, yeah. Typo. Thank you. Oh, that's a DPS issue. Yeah, I can see it, the ceiling is a half-step (it's only disadvantage, not outright forbiddance) lower for the shorties. My best solution (beyond simply ignoring it) would be a stat threshold. Have at least a 15 in STR or CON? Cool, you can...

For Reference (it's UA): +1 STR, you gain Athletics prof. (Expertise if redundant), you count as a size larger for carry cap. Adding "you may wield Heavy weapons, even if you were of Medium size" (or however the usual wording for that would be) would make sense. Though, really, you don't need...

And a couple subs (Stout Halfling, Rock Gnome) get a CON boost, as well. So, a Barbarian isn't completely out of the question. They're just a bit more limited in weapon choice, here.

Exactly. A lot of the wonder comes from the juxtapositions. Great place to flex, if you're a properly descriptive DM.

Dwarves are medium size, at least in 5E. I'm using WotC's rankings for this. As for the tank: Stout Halflings? Maybe Rock Gnomes?

Yes, a classic Wainscot Society. Love those, as well. By the way, my cut off for "small" was about three foot. Four and up was medium (which is why I excluded dwarves). I may have misremembered the official ranges.

I was kind of thinking of running it on Bloomburrow's rules: you are part of the designated list of races, even if you're from "outside". Elves get gnome'd, Orc's get goblin'd, Humans get halfling'd, Mind Flayers get Gnome ceremorph'd, etc. Just why that is can be a major mystery for...

Exactly. If it's a "civilized" creature (read: walks upright and can learn common), it's one of the small races, preferably one of the playable ones. EVERYTHING ELSE is fair game, within reason.

Oh, that DOES look cute. Thanks for the recommendation.

I think that was a later addition/clarification made in Tome of Foes that's carrying over to 2024.

Small Humanoids/Goblinoids, specifically. Yes, Bloomburrow/Humblewood/Redwall would fit, if you're doing animal races. Edit: as @Meech17 said, those are running on an even smaller scale than I'm envisioning. Wolves would be mounts, not kaiju, if you get what I'm saying.

This idea popped into my head. Has anyone done a setting restricted to the small-sized races/species? You know: gnomes, goblins, halflings, kobolds, imps, cherubs(? Is there a small humanoid celestial race? Helluva Boss used cherubs as the opposite of Imps), etc.. I'm just imagining your...

Could use it to scale Unarmed Attacks and Unarmored Defense. Everybody gets their "martial level" as an AC/Attack bonus, Monk/Bard still get their prof. bonuses on top of that.

My username is a dual Doctor Who/Sherlock Holmes reference (name as title like a Time Lord, using the titles of Detective Holmes and Professor Moriarty). The picture is a AIM Icon of Future Luke Triton from Professor Layton & the Unwound Future (actually, LAYTON may be the "Professor" in my...

Okay, who's idea was the limit break super form? I'm not a fan. As to still needing materials components: Eh, I homebrewed that out years ago. Basically just moved the component pouch from the "Equipment" field to the "Features" field. A simple change (that I wish was official).

Thank you, I'm probably just expecting the new Monk to be a "two step, one step" situation, given Wizards' track records. Also, neat build. I, obviously, went with Wood Elf for the +5 to Movement Speed. Not like it was for their bow proficiencies. If I was building for 5E, I'd go with...

Is it safe to assume that if it wasn't mentioned in the video/article, then it wasn't changed from 2014? Because they don't mention Unarmored Defense or Movement anywhere, from what I can see. My personal fantasy for Monk has been as the one who sacrifices gear for technique. They have honed...
