I would argue that Fighting Style also fits this mold. Martial characters differ based on Fighting Style in a way that I think is comparable to the Pact Boon.

All of these feats are weak-sauce. Except Chef. That one is awesome-sauce.

Well do they?!?!?

It's a pretty good build since drow get Cha bonus and rapier proficiency. Throw in some green flame blade/booming blade, mage armor and shield, and you're all set. My interpretation of the dragon sorcerer's scales is that they are subtle so a drow draconic sorcerer wouldn't be fooling anyone...

I was always baffled by the centaurettes from Disney's Fantasia because they clearly had breasts but no nipples! Until I realized, the nipples are on the horse part.

I was planning an island campaign a while back (I ditched it in favor of Ghosts of Saltmarsh, which was a mistake; that's a good campaign but most of it is sadly land-based). The dominant religion was worship of the Moon as a goddess, because of her control over tides. Although the details of...

This depends on whether you are targeting a creature or a point in space. The 60-foot range seems to imply that the target is the space, which would mean you can't twin it. OTOH if I was sucked through a gate to another plane against my will, I would certainly feel like a target. Or, if a...

Not looking hard enough. The testimony is out there; I'll let you have the fun of googling around for it. But, really, this isn't a trial. Much of the discussion is around who's right, who's to blame, and how we can judge and punish. (When people talk about "accountability" they often really...

I like the ideas here but I wouldn't allow this at my table. Tricks Up The Sleeve -- wait, we needed to make guidance EVEN BETTER? Dragon gambit -- for a bonus action, holy crap, this seems like a lot of damage. Loaded dice -- I actually like this a lot, but it has some weird interactions...

This may have been meant as a joke but this is more or less how I run it. My goblinoids live in a sort of mockery of human society, so a goblin woman would wear a tattered dress, a dirty bonnet, and a handbag containing a pet lizard named Miss Fluffikins. The horrible stereotype is the point.

I saw this performed live at a small theater in Austin and it was fantastic.

Based on the sentence prior to this one, "this benefit" means the Charisma thing from two sentences prior. It does not mean the touching thing. The touching is just how you apply the benefit; it's not the benefit. (Don't get me wrong; I think touching your weapon during a long rest is perfectly...

I think I'd want a consistent feel/theme for each element that runs throughout the subclasses. A fire-rogue should "feel" more akin to a fire-barbarian or a fire-cleric than they do to a water-rogue. Earth: Resolute, direct, patient, practical, nurturing. Air: Quick, clever, imaginitive...

Another thing to consider: Readying, as written, is one of the very most confusing rules to new/casual players. The people on this forum include a higher-than-typical number of rules junkies who very quickly grok Ready and its effects on the action economy. But for regular people it's a big ...

Right, but do they get to go first in that combat? That seems a bit unfair to me. But just ignoring the fact that they were the ones who started the combat also seems unfair. Advantage on initiative in exchange for restricted actions seemed like a nice balance to me and it seems to work. They...

FWIW, when someone initiates combat by taking a hostile action, I will give them advantage on initiative if they commit to taking that action on their first turn. In this case, when there's no combat, and it starts with "the ettercaps attack," the ettercaps would get advantage on initiative, but...

Huh, I hadn't thought of it that way. But I would still assert that people "disrespect" their own culture/group/identity in a very different way than they disrespect someone else's, if only out of ignorance. I'm suggesting that the only way to be sure none of the disrespect in a...

You're suggesting that a group of Chinese game designers, in China, with the goal of creating the leading Chinese RPG, are going to do it by disrespecting Chinese culture???

I want Wizards to commission a whole new game made by Chinese game designers in China, designed for the massive Chinese market and based on Chinese folklore and legends (and those from other Asian cultures -- mythology tends to get around), and written in Chinese and illustrated by Chinese...
