That is a big part of (still 1e, but in transition to 2e bluebox) and one of the most fascinating parts of the setting and as interesting and rich as 2e grey box waterdeep. It is the center of power, the rome, the metropolis and whatever, a perfect starting point and a city setting how it should...

Power rangers anyone :P ? Except if you are a terrorist, then you 'd be a supervillain :P

From an RP pov they really have an identity problem: A bard, if I would not know D&D s 5e take on the class is one or more of these: 1. A travelling musician/poet 2. A (court-) jester 3. A gigolo 3. A skald They implies to me these archetypical skills: 1. and 3. charisma, charming qualities...

It is so, that not even neutral alignment does keep you safe in that setting, the only non "classic" NPCs within Greyhawk D.C. which come to mind instantly, is some ogre or hillgiant or so who runs a tavern and a drow who works at the archive of the mages guild (tucked away hidden from the mobs...

The times I experienced that often was back then with 2e (w/o Darksun!) due to high AC and only hitting on a 17-20 e.g. It was like : PC roll / miss , Mob roll / miss, PC roll / miss and so on. Real good thing back then were morale rules and the advice to fudge a little as the dm if necessary...

At will? Invulnerable? No. Edit: Though how generous your DM is with a wish spell, they could do some things a comic superhero could not.

No, I rather thought of superman, dunno if this counts.

Yep - and these offspring of Iuz demons are KOS in most civilized areas, so no way someone can play one in a realistic meaningful way. Greyhawk might be grey in its PC moral, but there are things which are totally clear in that setting: Orc, Drow, Tiefling, = evil monster 99,9% of the time. For...

On your topic, the superhero question: Are D&D characters powerful? Yep compared to e.g. DSA characters they are (most of the times). Their magic capabilities are very high on higher XP levels. Are they superheroes though? Well, let us see: Fly at will, through outer space if needed? No...

Well the monkey king is a classic Asian legend, and he did take on buddhas and other real powerful mythic beings just with his wits chuzpe and his Bo which he could transform from toothpick size up to colossal. He was playing so many pranks to the pantheon that Buddha got angry and threw a...

Remind your players upfront that you request utter discipline, and that thosespecialists who love to shine in RP do not bogart the DM for themselves for to long.

Ninja Hobbit :P

Ok I see, sorry did not know about that.

Why do you need to base it of something? AC 13 (for rocky thick skin) + Con modifier seems to be an ok rule on its own. For the draconic sorcerer it is Dex, which seems to suggest tot you that a Draconic Sorc might need more MAD than your Stone sorc for the same result, still, with the Dex also...

Say, are you in the process of forming an alternative Athas out of Toril ? Else, hm, you could try the following: "At some point in the future WotC decides to release 6e. Due to strange alterations of the rules (orcs are in reality LG for example) per canon a new sundering is necessary. This...

Well you are right - but that is what a sniper does. Back then and now. Fun fact: Most people in history died of arrow wounds in medieval armed conflicts, often not, because the shot was lethal, but because of wound infection afterward.

So if I had to adjust that (which I would especially now that I know of the demographic problem) I would do it like that: -3 factions (one secret) no prob at all, they all shall have about 20 members -Prominent fishing families (200 people) -Prominent merchant families (100 people) -Workers (100...

If millions of players would assemble in Ogrimmar the server would severely lag and crash. At the beginning of WoW when I still played it, back in 2005 we once formed 4 whole raid groups (40 people each back then), all levels, and went down on Ironforge. Oh my. I had a crappy computer with very...

Escape the horde (Ranger level 7) does give disad. on opportunity attacks versus you.

Well it does start to be a problem if you got a rogue subclass like swashbuckler, who can basically sneak attack (once) every time he is alone with an opponent. Then it might become a bit to powerful. Other than that I see no real big problem, especially since you have to MC which does lower...
