Part of Intelligence is the ability to learn and assimilate information. A functional moron is not going to have the capacity to study and practice as many skills.

I just started reading through the PH, I have not seen the DMG. So far, the skill rules look totally inadequate. The list is too short and some the skills are way too broad. Athletics? How do you simulate a desert nomad who lives in rocky hills but has never swam in her life? She just sees the...

Whenever I need to roll an important save, I lean over the table so the DM can see down my blouse, and occasionally grope him under the table...

I will look up the mastermind, it sounds close to what I want...

I want my rogue to be similar to Faceman from the A-Team or the Nicholas Cage character in Matchstick Men. A real master at his craft, not just a regular charlatan...

Damn. I miss proficiency slots...

I borrowed a 5E PH, I am making a new character, and I am looking at the skills. Okay, proficiency bonus goes up automatically, but what if you want to specialise in a skill beyond that? And how do you acquire more skills as you advance? I am not seeing that option in the level advancement... :-P

How do you take social skills and manipulation to the next level? What happens when a charlatan rogue really dedicates a whole life to the art of the confidence game?

Buy a real shield and bow and figure it out.

Yes, but expand on that idea, make it a path for development, like Thief or Assassin...

Has anyone made a con artist archetype for 5E rogues?

A vampiric bard should make the seductive/hypnotic vampire thing really work to maximum effect. Go big on using your musical audience as a source of power and wealth, charm them into giving you money, sex, free services, information, et cetera...

So what would be good Greek names for Coffee, Sugar, and Tea? I am thinking you need a god of opium, too...

Social situations are the main potential uses for these, such as making someone misbehave and break a social taboo. The cloud could make a party much more interesting...

Nothing too kinky, but some possible social consequences... Change Orientation (enchantment) [compulsion, sexual] Level: clr 3, pal 4 , perversion 3, sor/wiz 3 Components: v, s, m Casting Time: 1 action Range: touch Target: 1 creature Duration: 1 hour/level Saving Throw: will negates Spell...

This guy is IMMORTAL, he has had centuries to plot and scheme. Forget "Plan B", this guys Plan X, Plan Y, Plan Z, Plan AA, Plan BB... He has had an endless amount of time to prepare for any encounter. Long before the PCs knew he existed, his network of minions warned him about them and he...

What I hated about the 4E skills was the lack of variation between characters. Just because two characters have the same Wisdom, say, does not mean they should be equally skilled in sensing a bluff. What if one of them really had better training and practiced more? What if one is just less...

Each passing generation wears down and slowly alters the meaning of the original tradition. The first generation knew they had a pact with the sahuagin, they had to dump a goat over the side of their boat for the sea devils to eat to get safe passage past a small sahuagin village a mile from the...

In many religions quite a bit of wealth is sacrificed as offerings, which why the Catholic church is posh and so many tombs beg to be looted. Hmm. Other things could lead to superstitions too. Thinking about ships making offerings to the gods, maybe that gets started as part of something...

Look at real world superstitions, could they have been inspired by spells or powers known in the game? Maybe black cats are bad luck because some wizard used one to transfer a touch attack. Want to make a new superstition for your campaign? Look at commonly used spells and figure out how they...
