They are not awesome. They are NOT the worst thing on this list. But they are not awesome (my opinion).

Abominable Yeti 9 - 2 = 7 For the sake of expediency Ankheg 29 Astral Dreadnought 35 (Corrected number for Astral Dreadnought. 34 + 1 = 35 not 25 ;)) Basilisk 21 Behir 38 Bulette 24 Carrion Crawler 35 Catoblepas 35 Chimera 20 Displacer Beast 36 + 1 = 37 Ettercap 25 Froghemoth 34 Gorgon 35...

Does anyone still have VHS players anymore? Edit: At least it wasn't BETAMAX!!! :oops:

Exactly, I have 7 year old twins and I'm contemplating getting this for my wife and I to play with them. They'd probably need help at first but I see the rhyming and dancing and imaginative play as being perfect for them! If it turns out they are a bit too young for it then we'll shelve it and...

It looks like each turn, the DM rotates clockwise through each player. All the DM does is read the Monster/Event card for their turn and roll dice for the Monster/Event or adjudicate the outcome on some cards (like who danced best in the dance off for Otto's Irresistible Dance event. If it is a...

Here's a potential sample of the cover art for the new MM:

Or we could rename the MM: "The Pointy End of the Sword Goes Here?"

If you want to have a flying fire-breathing Orc then play an Orc Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer! Granted, flight won't happen until level 14 unless you take the Fly spell at level 5... Oh and your CHA will be behind the curve... but you'll be stronger than a Halfling (maybe)! On a more serious...

Sounds like 1E or 2E is the game for you then?

Niche case but Dwarf DEX Fighter vs Elf Ranger: Dwarf: Level 1 = 15 DEX Level 4 = 16 DEX (Feat with +1 ASI or +1 to 2 stats) Level 6 = 18 DEX Level 8 = 20 DEX Elf: Level 1 = 16 DEX (or 17 DEX)...

Exactly this! Give Elves something like "Keen Senses". Gives them proficiency in Perception and they ignore range penalties on Perception checks or something like that. Not stepping on other Races toes would be difficult but I think doable.

I was using it as a EXTREME example only that likely wouldn't ever see the light of day but it's there, none the less. You can replace DEX with any other "primary stat" for a given Race. This is more an issue of DEX being too important in the system design space.

I get what you are saying but it is all a wash in the end anyway because stats all have a hard cap at 20. That Elf is only going to enjoy being more dextrous than the Dwarf until the Elf caps DEX and will enjoy that +2 stat for approximately 4 levels, maybe less depending on...

So you are saying ALL Elves should be able to slide down a dying oliphant truck in the middle of a raging battle and no Dwarf could ever do that? Again, I'm not talking about your average Elf or average Dwarf. We are talking about PC's that completely buck the system. I've seen videos of real...

Here is my take on it. I think that there is enough (could add a little more on some maybe) flavor to the various races outside of stat increases that differentiates them from each other. The stat increases represent a generalization of that race overall. Generalization is for NPC's, not PC's...
