Yes but he is lucky from the start, no other race barbarian can get that (except via feat). And tbh. a Halfling carried around by an oversized weapon just looks..., sorry I do not want to hurt anyone's taste or so, but even in computer games where characters all are disproportional like WoW, I...

I do not see the point here: Many people tend to put points in CON for better survivability. Others bolster DEX for all its benefits especially for classes with light , medium or w/o armor. So you e.g. got a race which does not offer boon on STR (WIS) but want to play a fighter (cleric)? Well...

This is normally resolved, that in some settings you just leave out the wizards name (Like it is also done in the SRD). That kind of convention for naming spells derives directly from Jack Vance, he did that in "The dying earth" where the spells all were named like that (to credit the mage who...

And here I am, I am 54 and do I feel nostalgic about GH, because I DMd it already when I was young, and I like many aspects of the setting, andI have loads of GH material enough for two or three campaigns, but here is the thing: Converting it to 5e ? Not the slightest problem: GH has had no...

Yea there you see, it is all about definition. E.g. Batman uses only technology and his athletics, so in theory every ordinary being investing in sports and having access to his tech shenanigans could be like Batman. So I can conclude now every normal being can be a superhero, since D&D...

Well, a modern thing which goes a little bit into S&S is Game of Thrones. Although the historic equivalent is a bit more high medieval, parts of the GoT world are definitely closer to Conans surroundings.

In my campaign I allowed humans, gnomes, half elves, half orcs , tieflings (devil originated). Since I used the GH as a background of a quasi 30 years war scenario (Iuz and his orcs, evil humans and demons on one side and the neutral and good human nations on the other) , the last three races...

Wow I did not know that one, can you please elaborate a bit more on that ? Especially, did the plague target Assassins, Illusionists, and Monks specifically? Was the sundering / spellplague /times of trouble like stuff already a thing back then when they wentfrom 1e to 2e? It is so odd that I...

Imagine todays generation who have to take a photo of every fast food they consume and put it on whatsup or instagram to share it with their friends. Now there's a joke, why they do not take photos as well, when the stuff leaves their bodies again. Transfer that to beholders .... Hm you could...

Who? Edit: I googled it, it is obviously Mystaras Elminster

By the book? Wish spell (very carefully worded) or a ghost to do your bidding. Edit: unsure if a clone corpse counts as a living being or an object as @Flamestrike sees it though. Imho it is not a corpse either by definition, personally I would go with living being without a soul, so a ghosts...

Ups I misscited .... :P

Again, since you did not reply to my question concerning artifacts: Frodo has the one ring, which in your translation might be just a weird ring of invisibility, but in fact is the mightiest object on middle earth. And he bears the artefacts curse, which is much more of superhero than to fly...

I use the settings default pantheon - of course I mod the settings like I always do but I do not see the need to e.g. take a god out of the FR pantheon and shoehorn it into the greyhawk pantheon. All of the big official settings have some more or less working pantheon. The Krynn pantheon is...

Ok sorry for the sidethought, but your first sentence brought this to my mind: also @Flamestrike : If by your definition some PC is a superhero, when he reaches a certain level has certain skills and / or magic equipment, then what about some high level classed NPC in your campaign? Are they...

Then I misread, it was quite confusing. Still a question, if you hand out artifacts, do you attach proper curses to them? And in that I do not mean toy-curses like the artifact grumbling something if you use a different, more optimal weapon for some occasion, I mean debilating, madness inducing...

Omg , what kind of outhouse do we need for these?

Yes you are right it has been long that I actually read the module. The stunning thing for me when I first read that (which is probably 30 years ago), was that normal dwarves, not derro, not duergar, but those guys you would count towards the "forces of light" were there as an obstacle which...

Darn you gave out real artifacts like cookies and claim that style of campaign is typical for D&D? I assume 3e with its built in magic item level had some more magic items than 5e or even 1e/2e, but this? You know that, (at least in 2e) most artifacts came with devastating curses, even the...

Well I know I would be rightfully angry, even if I would agree with the intent of the person doing this to me, or purpose /outcome. And I think, I can tell this would be the same for everyone else I know. The free will is the most significant thing that makes us different from animals, and...
