a. Keep the skull dead. Continue having fun, nothing ruins the mood like a TPK. b. Or give them several hints that the thing is coming back to life, like the others mentioned.

Wait, so the Gith don't get DEX instead they get INT ? WHAT? Their common attribute was DEX (+2 for Yankies and +6 for Zerai, 3.x ed), Githzerai even get a penalty to INT...

Well: 1 - Some races get more racial traits then others in amount and function. 2 - Racial abilities that overlap with class features, making the race+class combos redundant, even if they were meant to synergies with a class. Hill Dwarf and the Goblin is a good example. 3 - Dex is the best stat...

5e is a demo and experiment, its 3e all over again. The core idea is good, but the details and balance is all over the place. 5.5 will be coming soon to patch all the errors and balance issues, not sure if they have the creativity to also correct they horrible PHB layout. Maybe we will get full...

Good job with the generator. Just a major issue about that bothers me. - The color scheme is horrible, specially in the "start" sheet, its hurts my eyes. Some natural and darker colors would do wonders.

My solutions: Spellcasting - 1 spell per round. Bonus Action > (Attack) Action TWF - While wielding 2 weapons, make 2 attacks using the Attack Action. When you get a Extra Attack then just make another attack with either hand under the attack action. Stacking Bonus actions - I got nothing for...

Heya. A magical weapon is already an a Masterwork weapon. Thus its just "+1 dagger". (just being a know-it-all) 0. The Bleed effect isnt too impact-full IMO, so I won't take it into consideration. 1. The silence is a 2nd level spell so a minimum of level 3. Its and AOE with a save so take that...

If the group is having fun as is, then leave it be. If the group isn't having fun and you think its due to the "wrong" interpretation of the rules, then bring it up. Think of RAW as a guideline and less of a strict scripture. PS: Speaking as some one who has been that guy, don't be the guy...

Heya. I created an NPC that ended up as my PC. The idea was to provide the group with a full support character, cause noone likes to play rogues and clerics around here. Then when I was too lazy to make a character for a game I just used my NPC as a as a PC. The setup is Human Variant (Feat...

Oh, looks like I missed that part.

Hold Person + Great Axe + Coup de Grace Simple enough I think.

Yea, but how about instead of being adequate, the outside-the-box/"fun" choices are moved up to just as good as the generic, stereotype choices? The rarity is not an issue cause the ASI choice doesent really effect the DM and his world, most likely its populated with stereotypical NPCs anyway...

I agree completely. But that can be done without mechanically hindering people who want to play outside the stereotype box. That and if the ASIs were removed completely, would that erase all the stereotypes? No they would stay cause the stereotype is established in the fuff.

Oh yea, I just noticed, you said, "going to be doing this", my bad.

Do the players go with more unorthodox race/class combos as a result?

Stereotypes/archetypes should just go and die in a fire. Is it the idea of gnome barbarians that you don't like, or the half-orc wizard? :D Well getting rid of the ASI is kind of a waste, using it in a different manner feels nicer. Its not about the numbers at all, its about the Race/Class...

Yea but thats the point of this thread, ASI freedom so we can avoid race-class combos "cause I get the stat bonus that compliments my class". And to get the "oh I like the idea of a R/C combo and I don't waste my Racial ASI".

Humans and mountain dwarfs were poor design choices. They are extreme cases. I think what I realized today is that, most of the races are poorly balanced in 5th edition. Also now that I think about it, the ASI doesn't really matter if your rolling for stats, you will prolly have less or more...

The thing is, that Dwarf subrace is a major anomaly in my opinion, and should be reworked by the development team. I don't find it too be too big of an issue, now that race/class combo becomes a viable choice for players.
