That also concerns me, because it still skews toward better races from the PHB - like Hill Dwarf, Drow, Half-Elf, and a few others.

I like your version of the Hobgoblin @RufusDaMan. But, I would change that bonus action to add damage to the attack instead of making it another attack, because TWF already covers this. Alternatively, in general: I would just give the Hobgoblins Sneak Attack that isn't stackable. Martial...

The only time I ever bought 3PP was Iron Kingdoms and Amethyst. It stands to reason, I want both to be in 5e, but Iron Kingdoms is now running it's RPG rules set, and I really hope that Amethyst gets an OGL or GSL. Oo maybe Ultramodern 4 - Ultra Modern 5! I think what I really want, is...

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm sort of looking for. Going from the ground up per say, for the setting, it takes a long process to get from Science dominant to "how to throw fireball" and make it consistent and non-kitchen sink (though quite frankly in the end, it's always going to be a little...

It's a definite work in progress, but I have decided to make it into Blog Installments with a variety of thoughts and reasons for the state of my setting. I've Posted an Introduction as the first post, but I'll link the second post where I post some races and philosophy. So, Uh, I'm a Robot...

First off, Canny, Charm, and Savvy Defense crush the monk and step on the barbarian's toes. These are built to be armor wearing classes - making them essentially and better than the Monk or even the Barbarian is just something that doesn't sit well with me. Here's what I would do: Personal...

You know, I love the BESM (3rd) and the Tri-Stat Dx system with a passion. The resolution for anything and everything was pretty simple, but the Char-gen was a nightmare (and so was balance). But there's something I love about that system, and it's nightmarish char-gen - the simple ability to...

I mean in respect to Unwise, Generic worlds I feel are those that allow kitchen sink without any real variety - as in it's always a variation of the Classical (I probably shouldn't have used proto) European Centric fantasy - in which the Western Bias and Cultural Norm are implicit. I have to...

Generic may not be the word your looking for. Expansive maybe, but not generic. A world that is easily about as large as ours has a multitude of climates, cultures, and mysteries that would work well to encompass anything and everything, but it's an issue of scale for many DM's and players...

I don't get how anyone can say there are no roles in any edition save 4th - because they have always been there and quite frankly were refined for ease of use in a mostly static and controlled digital world, ie MMOs. The 4 main roles have always been a variant on the Warrior - high HP, High AC...

Well, reading through the class makes it definitely feel like a warlord from 4e than the Battlemaster does - which is a great thing. one point of Castling - would it be too OP if you added the superiority die to the AC of the ally you switched with until the start of that ally's turn...

I would like more Temp HP or just straight up way to have this Archetype cause an ally to spend a Hit Die - also I could see more crowd friendly maneuvers, versus single target within a burst.

I'd really like the OGL - then maybe my second biggest wish might come true! I really want another Genre or Sci-fi to come from WotC, cause while Modern was sort of a mess, it was a lovely fun action filled mess, that I've grown to love.

Fly is a 3rd level spell - which means full casters (like the Warlock) get it at as early as 5th level. So. Instead, I would give them something of a Bonus Action to have a fly speed equal to their base speed - something like: Glide: Bonus Action. You gain a fly speed equal to your base speed...

You know, seeing someone do a multi-class archetype, maybe psionics shouldn't have a class per se, but could be archetypes added to classes. That would certainly make them unique, and significantly more interesting than the standard re-skinned wizard with power points - which is currently...

Well, it's a re-work of the Monk - but it's not too much more. The base levels 1-2 would be fine - but it's around level 3 where the re-writing would need to start. Levels 1-2 is equivalent to the training a bender gets, cause all of style of bending involves a significant amount of martial...

I think that having the Goblin able to use a bonus action to just disengage is fine. Call it "Natural Coward" or "Tactical Retreat". I feel that two free skills, darkvision and a fluff advantage aren't anything to compared to the Half-elf (it is my golden standard of races, while (variant) human...

Use the Trickery Domain for a Cleric, and tweak it if it isn't satisfactory. I think adventures sound pretty easy to convert, because most of the same ideas are still at play. Monsters and levels should be parallel enough that if the adventure says they meet x orcs in a alley, then you could...

Steelboars That's why that caveat of "compare to the other races in your world". Not necessarily the PHB, not necessarily something that would be everyone, but your home game. I like that. So if you're concerned about the power creep, then you should always compare it to the PHB - if you...

The thing is before level 18? You can't do anything else but be a bear. You can't talk to your party, you can't cast spells, you can't even use items. You can't bloody climb up a ladder. We're only level 4, and the Druid is nowhere near the same powerhouse our Wizard tends to be with Sleep -...
