Restrictions in the PHB are bad, bad, bad. The freedom of races to pick which class they want to be has been with us for 2 editions now, and has been an awesome tool in customizing characters to suit the players and even the DMs desires. It would be a huge step back if 5E were to implement...

No disrespect to the big 3, I don't have a problem with them. Elves other classics are fine, but what do you want, if you want more options? Subraces? If you don't want more racial options, why not? People have been looking for more PC options since the little brown books came out, whether it...

The traditionalists are saying "Don't take away the half-elf and half-orc! They've always been here with the other demi-humans!" while the new wave says "Don't take away the dragonborn and the tiefling! They're helping to bring more life into the game!" It looks like we all want options besides...

I picked tieflings only because they're probably the most well known of the races, even outside 4E, and because they've had a lot of appearences in other campaigns other than their home (planescape) compared to the others. Saying that, I've got a soft spot for Giff and never found them goofy...

I like dragonborn, I'm ok with half-orcs (prefer the 4E origin backstory to previous editions having them be a product of orc raids), and I've had a player always begging to play a minotaur since the 2E humanoids book came out. Didn't matter what campaign or style of play, always came with a...

When I first got the 2nd edition PHB ( I was gaming as a kid on RC and a bit of 1st ed.) and had a quick look through it I thought to myself "where are the half-orcs? Where are the monks, the mystics, and the assassins? Cavaliers are right out? Why are bards and paladins no longer advanced...

This is some good stuff, it's building upon the groundwork laid out in the 3rd edition Unearthed Arcana, Dragon Magazine variants, and the 4E options. I'm not too worried about the terminology but the "paladin" class to me is an extemely fervent warrior of a particular cause, an example being...

Thanks for the reply, I completely forgot about the possibility of cold damage reduction. I resolved the issue by allowing spontaneous casting from a chosen domain, but may include additions to the class for later levels. I am still curious, are specialty priest classes available in 3rd...

A player and I were discussing the creation of a specialty priest for the church of Telchur (Chaotic Neutral God of Frost, found in Frostburn and Greyhawk Gazetteer). One of the drawbacks of this class was the loss of spontaneous casting of healing/inflict spells. I haven't had enough experience...
