I would absolutely play in a game with this rule, and enjoy it - as long as I knew about it ahead of time. Sure, it doesn't really jive with modern D&D sensibilities - and doesn't solve whack-a-mole within those sensibilities. However it does look like it might encourage a different style of...

Sounds to me like the Draeden, which was in the D&D Immortals boxed set back in the day. Link: Draeden - Wikipedia

Perhaps. However different tables have fun playing in different ways and houserules to support this are fair and appropriate. To my casual reading the approach you’ve advocated doesn’t come across as benevolent or helpful in cases like this one (even if it is intended to be).

Many of the responses to this thread seem to be out of proportion to the fairly reasonable question asked by the OP. I'd be very hesitant to call someone out so harshly about the quality of their game when I don't know them. It seems to me that he just has a minor issue with "crowding out" of...

The OP specified that it only works on spells that target one creature.

Holy Diver by Dio It's slightly more Hero Quest than D&D. But whatevs. D.

Back in prior editions there were two charm rays (charm monster and charm person) which always seemed a bit superfulous. We once replaced the charm person ray with an animate objects ray which it used in combination with its flesh to stone ray to petrify party members and then turn them on their...

I like this - it's clean and flexible, with a great example provided. A framework to retire rich and powerful with minions, or go full BECMI and play the dominion rulership subgame. Or just a cool background element for high-level adventuring. Thoughts: * I like the extra set of followers at...

"There is no such thing as patience" wasn't his premise at all. At least, not the way I read it. The cultural shift you mention was my takeaway from the post.

What about chirurgeon or vivisectionist?

Thanks for the guide. Sadly it doesn't show up clearly for those of us using the legacy skin due to the text colour :(

I was fascinated with this class when I was younger. It was a bit wacky as a kind of priest/wizard thingy, but very interesting and tied well to the mythos presented in L&L. I like your conversion, although I am a bit wary of the exhaustion level being added to spell save DCs/attack modifiers.

Looks like a decent house rule if you want to increase caster flexibility! I'd change the wording of this part to: One of the two spells you are concentrating on must be cast on willing targets only (possibly including yourself) or only catch such targets in the area of effect. This way you...

Yes...that's kinda the point. Hence the minutes-long paralysis after 3 failed saves middle-ground I mentioned. It works when the paralysis is used in the narrative of the fiction as we've always portrayed ghouls (potentially giving them time to drag victims - PC or NPC - off to a bolt hole or...

We've always portrayed ghouls as opportunistic cannibal scavengers, who strike to paralyse and then drag off the victim to feast while they're still alive (if possible). That's one reason they're so horrific. We've had PCs following and desperately searching for the bolt-holes of retreating...

I gave you XP for the "I work out" (sub)class feature. Lolz. The second XP on a different post is not really for that exact post per-se... it is is because I share a lot of your sentiment and thought that was worth another award. I've also been working on my own "new 5e paradigm" with 5...

Spitballing some possible house-rule additions to Druidcraft: * Identify the species of any natural plant or animal (as 1e/2e druid power) * Identify water that is pure and safe to drink (as 1e/2e druid power) * Sense the general emotional state and motivation of an animal within 25ft (hungry...

Maybe the inquisitor from Pathfinder? It's not 3.5 but it is pretty close. It has the right theme, and the divine spells could come from a force, philosophy, cult of personality, etc rather than a deity? Just an idea. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/inquisitor Failing that...

Can we make him a Dragonborn so we can have a dino(-esque) pirate ninja? Maybe when the FR campaign book comes out it'll have Sauriel PCs for a more authentic dino-ninja-pirate. What about a warforged for a mecha-robot ninja pirate?

Wow, what is that leak? I've not seen it before.
