but you forgot Odd + Even = Odd that's 2/4... better go back to gambling school :)

I wouldn't mind if half-elves had proficiency in charisma-based skills because of the social hardships they overcame growing up facing half-breed prejudice, but I don't think they should have inherently higher charisma than elves (which translates to more magical power in any charisma-based...

I love charisma for elves especially instead of intelligence for the reasons noted in OP. I rarely think of elves as carrying around a book of spells for 1000 years. But I suppose that elves that migrate to human lands might be wizards with high intelligence that just didn't fit in with the...

Back to the OP: I'm not a fan of inspiration dice (or superiority dice or bless dice for that matter). I would rather see inspiration giving advantage on one roll, with higher levels giving more uses. Perhaps a higher level option for mass inspiration. Other types of inspiration similar to...

How is it that every race with a charisma bonus has side note that nobody likes them or they don't trust them?: Drow: "Were it not for one renowned exception, the race of drow would be universally reviled." Tiefling:"To be greeted with stares and whispers, to suffer violence and insult on the...

Bladesinging should be an elven bardic college not a wizard tradition. I mean come on: proficiency in light armor and a melee weapon, performance, BladeSong, Song of Defense, Song of Victory, multi attack. This just screams BARD. The only reason they made it a wizard tradition is because...

My homebrew solution is that the standard ranger build for archer-type rangers is 5 Ranger (hunter)/ 7 Rogue (assassin) after level 12 there is a bit more variety (an extra level of ranger for Greater favored enemy, up to 6 more levels of ranger for the Volley, an extra level of rogue for an...

I've been working through my house rules and decided that skills with different abilities made a lot of sense to me. The main idea is that there are some skills that work well with multiple stats. Here is what I have so far. Any other ideas? Blue for changes or additions to RAW variant...

TBH I didn't know what a ribbon ability was before I joined this thread. My understanding is that is a fluff feature. I would argue that Favored Enemy and its upgrade: Greater Favored Enemy are not fluff and instead help to define Rangers, particularly Hunters. I'm not sure that it fits as...

I guess its always going to a problem if you build a character around a special set of circumstances and the DM doesn't play with you. The same could be said of a rogue character who specializes in picking locks and disabling traps and the DM never has any locks or traps for you. Or the 8...

And for the Wizard capstone.... S i g n a t u r e S p e l l : When you reach 20th level, create a signature spell. Choose two 1st-3rd level wizard spells in your spellbook that you will combine into a single spell. The new spell will have a level equal to the combined total of the two spells...

I like this for a ranger capstone: Foe slayer: At 20th level, you become an unparalleled hunter of your enemies. Versus your favored enemies you cannot be surprised and have advantage on all attack rolls, ability checks (including initiative) and saves. Favored enemies have disadvantage on...
